Cupcake's Creations: Album

Hi there! Welcome to Day 1 MFT August Teasers! The new products will be available on Tuesday, August 6th at 10 PM Eastern in the MFT Boutique. This release, just like ALL of MFT's releases is overflowing with fabulous products! Be sure to hop over to the MFT Blog for a list of today's participating designers along with the amazing prize info!

Today I'm very excited to introduce you to my latest stamp set, coordinating dies as well as 2 of 4 stencil designs that are included in this month's release!

Timeless stamp set:

Die-namics Time Pieces which coordinates flawlessly with Timeless:

the Collage Backgrounds stamp set:

the Brick Wall Stencil:

and the Gears Stencil which is an MFT EXCLUSIVE product:

I scrapped a few photos of our vacation to China in a canvas album which I altered using lots of stencils, gel medium and sprays. To begin this project, I added lots of design randomly using both the Brick Wall and Gear Stencils along with gel medium. Once dry, I sprayed with various colored inks and sprays.

I've also included the beautiful sunflower from LJD Splendid Sunflower which I heat embossed in gold along with a variety of other homemade blossoms and die cut embossed gears made using Die-namics Time Pieces.

I stamped one of the designs from Timeless on the pretty die cut scalloped border from Die-namics Blueprints 6:

The cover features a sentiment from Timeless as well:

I stamped the gears image from the MPD Collage Backgrounds stamp set on a die cut tag from Die-namics Blueprints 6:

Although the entire book including both the front and back covers, inside and out, as well as all the pages feature the brick wall and gear stenciled designs, they are all very different than the next by design :)

Page 1 features a sentiment from LLD Enjoy the Journey along with another fancy clock from Timeless along with lots of die cut gears and cogs from Die-namics Time Pieces:

Layered behind the clock are a few die cut tags made using Die-namics Blueprints 6 that were stamped using two of the three images from Collage Backgrounds:

Up close you can see the design detail on the clock face as well as the beautifully detailed golden embossed sunflower:

This clock is quite decorative all in itself:

Lots of die cut gears, cogs, blossoms and buttons:

Another fun sentiment / word from LLD Enjoy the Journey which is packed with so many fun and versatile sentiments / words.

More die cut / stamped tags made using the tag die from Die-namics Blueprints 6 and images from Collage Backgrounds:

Last but not least is page 4 which features the fourth pretty clock image from Timeless along with a golden enamel embossed overlay as well as a stamped scalloped border above the photo:

I surrounded the clock with lots of blossoms and die cut gears and cogs:

Hi there! Welcome to Day 1 of the MFT June Teasers! The new products will be available on Tuesday, June 11th at 10 PM Eastern in the MFT Boutique. I have LOTS to share, so I hope you sit down and enjoy :)

This month, MFT is introducing several new fun products in the MIX-ables line ~ Sheer Shimmer Mist and Steel Shimmer Mist which work amazingly well with MFT Premium Dye Inks and MIX-ables Stencils.

Today I have a variety of projects to share including three tags featuring my own custom mixed mist made using Sheer Shimmer Mist and Steel Shimmer Mist along with various MFT inks.

***Please be sure to visit the MFT Blog ~ click HERE ~ to watch a video tutorial that I made showing exactly how easy it is to make your own customized mists using these new awesome products!

I'm really excited to introduce you to several of my stamps, dies and stencil designs that are included in this month's release!

Two of the four stencils I am introducing this month are: the Graduated Diamonds Stencil:

and the Graduated Hexagons Stencil:

First up are an assortment of three tags I made featured in the video tutorial that you able to watch here on the: MFT Blog ~ click HERE. All of the tags were made in a similar manner so the description may sound a bit repetitious. On the tag shown below, the background was sprayed with a mixture of Berrylicious ink and Steel Shimmer Mist for a desaturated shimmery shade of mist. Once dry, I added lots of texture using the Graduated Diamonds Stencil and fiber paste:

The rolled rose was made using Die-namics Large Royal Rose die then sprayed with a mixture of Berrylicious ink and Sheer Shimmer Mist to create a gorgeous pearl shimmery finish. All sentiments on the tags were stamped using LJD Blissful Butterflies stamp set:

On the next tag, the background was sprayed using a combination of Wild Cherry ink and Steel Shimmer Mist for a desaturated shimmery shade of mist. Once dry, I added lots of texture using the Graduated Hexagons Stencil and fiber paste:

The blossom was made using Die-namics Large Hybrid Heirloom Rose then sprayed with a mixture of Wild Cherry ink and Sheer Shimmer Mist to create a gorgeous pearl shimmery finish:

The last tag was sprayed using a combination of Razzle Berry ink and Steel Shimmer Mist for a desaturated shimmery shade of mist. Once dry, I added lots of texture using the Graduated Diamonds Stencil and fiber paste:

The rose was made using Die-namics Large Royal Rose die then sprayed with a mixture of Berrylicious ink and Sheer Shimmer Mist to create a gorgeous pearl shimmery finish. As I previously mentioned, please be sure to visit the MFT Blog ~ click HERE for a visual demonstration :)

I am also introducing the following products:

Blooming Roses stamp set which is full of beautiful blossoms:

Die-namics Rose Bouquet which coordinates flawlessly with Blooming Roses:

and the Rose Builder Stencil which is perfect for adding dimension and design to any of your projects:

I made an 8" x 8" chipboard album for April featuring lots of photos that were taken after her graduation commencement ceremony last month. This book is overflowing with Blooming Roses, butterflies and texture! Once I painted and added the crackle texture to the entire book, the fun began!!! All the pages contain stenciled roses that were made using the Rose Builder Stencil and misted backgrounds using my own custom mists as explained above and in the video along with the Graduated Diamonds Stencil.

The cover features the following: a cluster of rose blossoms and leaves made using Blooming Roses that were die cut using Die-namics Rose Bouquet, stenciled roses made using the Rose Builder Stencil, a sentiment from Chalkboard Greetings, a pretty butterfly from LJD Blissful Butterflies:

To make the two big pink stamped blossoms, I used the larger solid rose image from Blooming Roses along with Pink Lemonade ink then stamped the highlights using Bubblegum ink. After stamping the blossom, I topped them with a coat of Sheer Sparkle Glitter Glaze. Notice the shimmery 3D rose in the lower left corner? To create that one, I used Die-namics Mini Royal Roses. Once the flower was made, I sprayed using custom mist that was made using Pink Lemonade ink and Sheer Shimmer Mist.

Here's a close up of the larger stenciled rose and leaf that was made using the Rose Builder Stencil.

Since this book is ALL about April, I thought it was appropriate to start the book off with a photo of April which clearly shows her great sense of accomplishment and perseverance! The sentiment is one of the many fun and versatile sentiments from Bold Statements and the sweet butterflies fluttering about are from LJD Blissful Butterflies.

Two single roses from Blooming Roses:

The 3D rose was sprayed using custom mixed mist made using Razzle Berry ink and Sheer Shimmer Mist. I just love the shimmery finish!

Each page, opposite of the photos were all sprayed with inks and various roses were stenciled on using the Rose Builder Stencil. I didn't share everyone of them because I didn't want to bore you to tears so I just shared a random few. I just love the way the trio of rose buds look together:

Last but not least features a photo of April and her future in-Laws :) More rose blossoms from Blooming Roses, a sweet butterfly from LJD Blissful Butterflies and another great sentiment from Bold Statements:
