SEVEN Days Until the MFT January Release!


Hello!  It's time for the My Favorite Things January Release Countdown and we have a FULL week of fantastic new stamps and Die-namics to show you.   AND we have some fun prizes for you too, so be sure to hop on over to the MFT Blog to see how you can win some MFT goodies this week.

All of these new products will be available for purchase on January 7th @ 10 PM Eastern

I'm starting off this countdown with another fantastic set from Lisa Johnson Designs - LJD Love's the Ticket.



I started by cutting out the new Hugs & Kisses Cover-Up Die-namics die in Insulation Pink Card Stock and then layered it over a sheet of Electric Red Card Stock. The Ticket Note Die-namics are cut out from Kraft Card Stock and I sponged around the edges with Kraft Ink.  I added the sentiment in Electric Red Ink and then filled in the top and bottom of the ticket with the accent stamps from the set.  So fun!!  I cut out another ticket in Black Licorice Card Stock and used it as an accent layer to put the Heart STAX Die-namics on.


Be sure to stop by the MFT Blog for a complete list of designers playing along in today's Teaser AND find out how you can win some MFT goodies!

Here are the MFT products I used today - all of the new products will be available for purchase on January 7th at 10 PM Eastern.

MFT December Release Rewind



Howdy! Have you seen all of the new and fabulous December products from My Favorite Things?  All of the new products are available in the MFT Boutique right now and the design team is having a little Release Rewind party tonight.  

I love the new Blueprints 10 Die-namics set and I didn't really use it during the countdown, so I thought I'd make a card with it tonight.



I started by cutting out the rounded base in Berrylicious Card Stock and then cut the dots out with the Polka Dot Cover-Up Die-namics.  The sentiment from Sunny Day Doodles - Be Your Best Self in Steel Grey Ink and then added the Sour Apple vine.  The color combo is Color Throwdown #272.


Here are the MFT products I used on my card:



My next card features Laina Lamb Designs To the Point.



I started by stamping the sentiments in Grapesicle Ink on a Fishtail Flags STAX Die-namics die (which I ran through my die-cut machine twice to double the ends) and then popped it up over a Stitched Circle STAX Die-namics in Smooth White Card Stock.   I added a trio of Berrylicious Buttons in the corner.


Here are the MFT products I used on my card:


Be sure to stop by the MFT Blog for more inspiration from the other designers on the team.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
