Love...MFT June Release Rewind 40

Hi there! Welcome to the June MFT May Release Rewind Day 1! Today and tomorrow, many of the MFT DT members will have shared or will be sharing projects made using awesome MFT products that can be found in the Brand Spankin' New category of the MFT Boutique! Please be sure to visit the MFT blog for a complete list of designers who will be participating today.

First up is a layout featuring a photo of Meredith doing what she loves surround with lots of flowers and texture.

I stamped two toned roses using Pink Lemonade and Bubblegum inks along with the two various sized blossoms from MPD Blooming Roses on coordinating die cuts that were made using Die-namics MPD Rose Bouquet. I added a sweet Sno Cone butterfly that was stamped using one of the many images from LJD Blissful Butterflies. 

Up close, you can see the added texture that I created using the MPD Rose Builder stencil along with fiber paste. I couldn't help but ink up the polka dot image from MPD Distressed Background Blocks with Razzle Berry ink and randomly stamp on the background. 

For the sentiment, I used the Love the Here and Now stamp from Chalkboard Greetings which fits perfectly nestled inside the Die-namics LLD Insert It - Speech Bubble Frame. 

My second sample is a rather simple greeting card. 

I basically stamped a trio of roses from MPD Blooming Roses using Berrylicious ink, inked all the edges uses Kraft ink then stamped a sentiment from LJD Blissful Butterflies using Hot Fudge ink.

Many thanks for stopping by today! I hope you enjoyed my take on clean and simple.

It's a Good Day...MFT June Teasers Day 6 47

Hi there! Welcome to Day 6 of the MFT June Teasers! The new products will be available on Tuesday, June 11th at 10 PM Eastern in the MFT Boutique. Today I have a quite clean and simple card to share featuring a combination of stamps from MPD Blooming Roses and Chalkboard Greetings.

To create this card, I stamped one of the fun sentiments from Chalkboard Greetings on a Primitive White die cut frame made using Die-namics LLD Insert It - Speech Bubble Frame.

I topped it off with the smaller of the two rose blossoms from MPD Blooming Roses which was stamped using Bubblegum ink and Factory Green ink was used to stamp the leaves which are also from MPD Blooming Roses.

Happy for you...MFT June Teasers Day 1 73

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:

Page 2 features a photo of April and my sweet loving son Jerry :) along with a Razzle Berry stamped butterfly from LJD Blissful Butterflies and another great sentiment from Chalkboard Greetings:  

More Sheer Sparkle Glitter Glaze covered rose blossoms made using images from Blooming Roses:

Page 2 features a photo of April and her dear Mom along with several rose blossoms from Blooming Roses, a sweet butterfly from LJD Blissful Butterflies and another great sentiment from Bold Statements:

Page 3 features a photo of April and her dear Dad along with several rose blossoms from Blooming Roses, a sweet butterfly from LJD Blissful Butterflies and another great sentiment from Chalkboard Greetings:

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:

Page 4 features a photo of April and her dear sister along with several rose blossoms from Blooming Roses, a sweet butterfly from LJD Blissful Butterflies and another great sentiment from Chalkboard Greetings:

 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:

Friends... 43

Hi there! Welcome to Day 6 of the May MFT Teasers! Thank you for taking the time to stop by! Today I have a card to share featuring MFT Chalkboard Greetings. All the new products included in the release will be available on Tuesday, May 7th at 10 PM in the MFT Boutique.

Chalkboard Greetings is full of so many wonderful sentiments, it was a challenge to choose just one! After choosing the one featured on my card below, I stamped it on a die cut piece of Steel Blue cardstock then heat embossed. 

Once again, I put the Die-namics Blueprints 3 die to work! I love the beautiful flower die that is included in the set. To create the one on this card, I cut 2 of each layer then wrinkled and crinkled the cardstock to add some dimension and give it a little rustic character. I finished it off with a Kraft button and a piece of hemp. 

Thank you for stopping by today ~ I hope you like my card.

Please be sure to stop by the MFT Blog to see all the beautiful projects that the rest of the team has created. You'll also read about some HUGE prizes being given away this week during Teaser Time that you won't want to miss!
I'll be back tomorrow with more samples to share.
Be Sweet ;)
