Cupcake's Creations: LJD Hearts and Stitches

Hi there! Welcome to the January MFT Die-namics Feature & Pre-Release Pep Rally! Now that we've teased and tempted you all week long, it's almost time for you to shop for your favorite Brand Spankin' New products from MFT. But first... it's time for our Die-namics Feature and Pre-Release Pep Rally! Our Design Team has been busy creating jaw-dropping and inspiring projects for you, and we've saved the best for last. We've taken an in-depth look at this month's Die-namics, while re-visiting the amazing sets being released tonight at 10 PM EST RIGHT HERE in the MFT Boutique.
And while we are at it, how about we make your life even easier with a "cheat sheet" of all that's new? Head over to the MFT Blog to print out a shopping list.

For today's project, I chose to focus on the pretty Die-namics Mini Hybrid Heirloom Rose while including many other MFT goodies ;)

I made a layout featuring a photo of Meredith that was taken years ago. I layered the photo on a piece of paper that was stamped using LJD Hearts and Stitches then surrounded sweet Meredith with lots of homemade blossoms all made using a variety of Die-namics. I snuck in a few stamped hearts using LJD Homespun Hearts along with the new MFT Kraft and Sno Cone ink that were stamped on die cut hearts made using Die-namics Rustic Hearts.

I had a lot of fun making Mini Hybrid Heirloom Roses using a two different colors of cardstock rather than one. The Mini Hybrid Heirloom Rose shown below was made using a combination of Berrylicious and Sno Cone cardstock which I layered on a heart doily made using Die-namics Heart Doily and flourish made using Die-namics Leaf Filled Flourish.

Shown below is a trio of more Mini Hybrid Heirloom Roses along with a few little blossoms that were made using the following Die-namics: Die-namics Mini Rolled Roses and Die-namics Mini Royal Roses.

Shown below are the Die-namics that I used on my layout today included in the January release:

For sketch inspiration, I joined along with Creative Scrappers.
Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you enjoyed my layout!
Be Sweet ;)

Hi there! Welcome to Day 1 of the MFT January Teasers! Today I am sharing a few projects featuring LJD Homespun Hearts and LJD Hearts and Stitches. These two stamp sets coordinate marvelously together! Surely you are going to enjoy them both as much as I do!

I didn't use any patterned paper to create the card. The stamped heart borders were stamped using one of the sweet heart images from LJD Hearts and Stitches.

I stamped three heart images on the coordinating die cuts that were cut using Die-namics Rustic Hearts then topped it off with a Natural button and a piece of hemp.

I finished the card with a sentiment tag using a sentiment from LJD Homespun Hearts that I stamped on a die cut tag that was made using a Die-namics Decorative Circle Tag STAX die.

I'm lovin' the new Die-namics Square Pillow Box! To create the sample shown below, I first die cut the box then dry embossed to add texture. I topped it off with a die cut stamped heart made using Die-namics Rustic Hearts and LJD Homespun Hearts.

Shown below are the Die-namics included in the January release that I used on my projects today:

Thanks so much for visiting! I hope you enjoyed my projects. I will be back tomorrow for Day 2!
Be Sweet ;)
