MFTeasers | Day 1

Hello!  It's Teaser Time for My Favorite Things and boy, do we have a packed 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 May 7th @ 10 PM Eastern. 

Time to get this party started!  I'm kicking off Teaser Week with this adorable Pure Innocence Make a Wish stamp set. 

I started with some Collectable "Notable" 6x6 paper from My Mind's Eye and used Blueprints 3 Die-namics dies to cut out all the elements.  I cut the rounded paned in X-Press It Blending Card Stock and stamped her in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink.  I paper pieced her dress and then colored her with Copic Markers.  I put the die cut back in the die and used the inner edge as a stencil and added some dotted lines around the border.

The ribbon and bow are part of the Blueprints 3 Die-namics set as well and I just layered them over the scallops.  I love all of these little die accents!

I used the flower element from Blueprints 3 Die-namics for the inside of the card and stamped the sentiment from Pure Innocence Make a Wish in Black Licorice Ink.  

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

Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge 183

It's time for another Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge! Here is the deal: make a card with this layout and use the InLinkz button down at the very end of this post to enter your card. The links will close in two weeks, next Friday at 10 PM (Mountain Time). Be sure to link directly to the blog post or gallery image which features your card. You may post a picture of the sketch on your blog, but please save the image to your computer first. Use the keyword SSSC183 if you plan to post your card in an online gallery.

WANT TO BE A GUEST Sweet Sunday Stamper?  I'll be picking my favorite card or project after each challenge and that winner will have a special guest spot as a designer on a future Sweet Sunday Challenge.  I'm SO excited about this!  You can enter as many different cards as you'd like before the following Friday deadline, so get stampy!

I will be announcing the next Guest Sweet Sunday Stamper later this week, so be sure to check back to see if you will be joining the design team for SSSC184!

It is birthday central here on the Sweet Sunday team - Vicki, Sarah-Jane, and I all share the same birthday (the 24th), so I'm celebrating with this cute little PI Birthday Girl stamp set.  Happy Birthday, girls!!

I started by stamping her in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink on some Kraft Card Stock and then colored her with Copic Markers.  I've never colored a people with Copics on kraft before and I love it!  Who knew?  Probably everyone - I'm a late bloomer, what can I say?  For the scallops I used the new Open Simply Scallops Trio Die-namics (this is the smallest of the set), and then used a Fishtail Flags Layers Die-namics for the banner.  The patterned paper is Harvest Lane 6x6 from Simple Stories.

I did my usual sentiment stamping on the inside of the card with a sentiment from the set and also added some zigzag stitches.  Love those.

There is lots of inspiration for you with this sketch - be sure to check out the fabulous projects from the Sweet Sunday Stampers!

MFT Wednesday Stamp Club

Hello!  It's Wednesday and that means it's time for another fun sketch challenge from MFT!  Here's a look at the sketch:

I made a card using Vertical Greetings and some Collectable "Notable" 6x6 paper from My Mind's Eye.

I started by cutting out some patterned paper with the Vertical Greetings 2 Die-namics and then stamped the greeting on it in Hot Fudge Ink.  I layered that over a Fishtail Flags STAX Die-namics in Hot Fudge Card Stock. 

For the flower at the top, I layered a Pretty Posies Die-namics in patterned paper over a Sentiment Strips Die-namics in green - the leaves are from the Flower Box Die-namics and then I used a Hot Fudge Button to accent it all.

The inside of the card is stamped simply with a sentiment from Big Greetings, which is also stamped in Hot Fudge Ink.

Sweet Sunday Sketch 181 Winner

Good morning!  I hope you had an excellent weekend and are feeling refreshed for the week.  We finally had some sunshine and the kids were bounding out the door to play - we've been cooped up all week with a crazy set of snow storms. 

It's time to announce the next guest stamper and there were so many fantastic entries for sketch 181 and I'm happy the tilted panel didn't scare you away.  Thanks so much for playing along!

Before I announce the winner, here are 5 of my favorites:

 I love how creative LeAnne is with the wrapped twine underneath the die cut letters - what a fun way to add texture.

 Linda's card is darling with the bright and happy sun accent over the blue banner.

 This sweet card from Arielle brightens my day - I love the button and banner together and the embossing in the background.

 Amber turned the sketch for her image and I love how she fussy cut him out to pop up over the different layers of paper. 

And Stacey's card brings spring cheer.  The bow is amazing and I really love the negative die cut with the sequins underneath.  

And the winner is....

Arielle!

Congrats, Arielle!  I'll be contacting you shortly with the next sketch as well as your designer badge.  I can't wait to see what you create!

 

There is still time to play along with us for SSSC182 - the challenge closes this Friday night.

 

Thanks so much for stopping by!
