Cupcake's Creations: LJD Bitty Banners

Hi! Welcome to the July MFT New Product Tour! Tonight, the MFT DT will be taking you on a tour of all the new products that are available NOW right HERE in the MFT Boutique. I'm very excited to share with a few projects I made focusing on the following Brand Spankin' New Products: MPD Tropical Sensations, Die-namics MPD Tropical Sensations, MPD Concentric Circles Stencil and the MPD Petal Pattern Stencil.

First up is a layout featuring photos of both Meredith and Connor that were taken several years ago while we were vacationing on Maui. I think they still had baby teeth in their mouths! YIKES!

To create this layout, I first started by layering and stitching a piece of paper (blue one) that I made using the Gelli Arts Printing plate onto a yellow 12 x 12 piece of card stock. Once stitched in place, I added design and texture using the MPD Concentric Circles Stencil with fiber paste.

Once the fiber paste was dry, I adhered the photos of Meredith and Connor that were die cut using Die-namics Pierced Circle STAX dies. Now the page was ready to be embellished with lots of flowers using Tropical Sensations. The yellow plumeria shown below was stamped using a combination of the pretty Banana Split and Lemon Drop inks.

The Hibiscus blossoms shown below were stamped using a combination of Sno Cone and Banana Split inks. All of the other non stamped Hibiscus blossoms on the page were made using the Die-namics Hibiscus die along with the following colors of cardstock: Banana Split, Lemon Drop and Sno Cone and the foliage was made using Gumdrop Green. For added shimmer, I sprayed the cardstock Hibiscus blossoms with MIX-ables Sheer Shimmer Mist.

For the title, I used one of the fun dies from Die-namics LLD Accent It - Celebrate to die cut a piece of Lemon Drop card stock. Peeking out from below the title is a little stamped / die cut banner that was made using LLD Bitty Banners.

Next is a rather clean and simple card featuring a couple Hibiscus blooms from Tropical Sensations as well as a sentiment. This card was so easy to make and took very little time! I simply die cut a piece of Sweet Tooth cardstock using the beautiful Die-namics Modern Morocco die then adhered the stamped / die cut Hibiscus blossoms and sentiment.

Last but not least is another card featuring a Hibiscus blossom and sentiment, both from Tropical Sensations. Once the Hibiscus was stamped and die cut, I adhered it on top of a fun triple layered stack that was made using Die-namics Pierced Circle STAX dies.

For added design, texture and color, I applied molding paste to the background using the MPD Petal Pattern Stencil. Once dry, I lightly sprayed a mist that was made using Banana Split ink and MIX-ables Sheer Shimmer Mist. I finished the card with a trio of stitched on Blu Raspberry buttons.
