Merry Christmas...MFTWSC100 42

Hi there! It's Wednesday and that means it is time for an all new My Favorite Things Wednesday Stamp Club sketch challenge! Thanks to all who joined along ~ so many wonderful cards! For additional inspiration from participating DT members, please be sure to visit the MFT Blog.

Here's the fun sketch:

and here's my interpretation:

This card features the sweet image from Pure Innocence Stocking Girl which I stamped on a piece of Blending Card, colored with various Copics then trimmed around the perimeter. The Merry Christmas sentiment is from LJD Stitched Stockings which was stamped on a die cut made using Die-namics Rounded Banner STAX.

I completed the inside as well which includes a gift card. I stamped a sentiment from Pure Innocence Stocking Girl on a die cut label made using Die-namics Polka Dot Greetings die then layered it on top of a die cut pocket made using Die-namics Gift Card Pocket - Vertical. I couldn't help adding a die cut layered heart made using Die-namics Layered Heart along with fun patterned paper from the Pink Paislee City Sidewalks Collection.

Thanks so much for stopping by! 
Be Sweet ;)

MFT November Die-namics Feature and Pep Rally 45

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 gorgeous Die-namics Poinsettia. I created a layout featuring a photo of my dear daughter Angie that was taken 10 years ago when she was 13 years old. I stamped a sentiment from Seasonal Sentiments using Jellybean Green ink on a die cut label made using Die-namics Vertical Greetings 11. 

The  Die-namics Poinsettia die set makes such gorgeous detailed blooms. Up close, you can see the embossed vein detail. Layered behind the trio of Poinsettias in the left lower corner are Kraft flourishes made using Die-namics Medium Fancy Flourish along with Die-namics Large Leafy Flourish. In the upper right hand corner, layered behind the Pink Lemonade Poinsettia is a smaller die cut flourish made using Die-namics Leafy Flourish along with a Kraft flourish made using Die-namics Fancy Flourish. 

I stamped three fun sentiments from LJD Stitched Stockings on a layered die cut made using Die-namics Fishtail Flags Layered STAX along with a die cut made using Die-namics Fishtail Flags STAX.

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

MFT November Teasers Day 1 64

*** I have two posts today, if you are looking for my MFTWSC97 post, please click here*** 
Thank you :)

Hi there! Welcome to Day 1 of the MFT November Teaser Time! Today we are showcasing two of Lisa Johnson Designs fun stamp sets: Stitched Stockings and Darling Dots along with the coordinating Die-namics Stocking Trio. 

In case you missed the announcement, MFT now has their own custom colored AMAZING coordinating ink pads and reinkers. Wild Cherry and Jellybean Green will be included in the November release with lots of other Replenishments!

I had so much fun stamping with Stitched Stockings and Darling Dots! For my first project, I decorated a small shadowbox featuring lots of stamped images and die cuts along with one of my favorite photos of Connor that captures the innocence of the little boy he was. We caught him peeking up the chimney to see if he could catch a glimpse of Santa! 

When I first saw the LJD Stitched Stockings stamp set and coordinating Die-namics Stocking Trio, I knew what I wanted to create. Sure wish all my projects came together like that!

To create the background, I stamped and heat embossed the larger image from Darling Dots on Kraft cardstock, trimmed to size, adhered in place, then I was ready to embellish!

I die cut three Sweet Tooth cardstock stockings using Die-namics Stocking Trio then stamped the coordinating stocking image from Stitched Stockings on each. The green stocking was stamped using Jellybean Green and the red stocking using Wild Cherry ink then I attached them to a Hemp Cord line that is fastened to two large Kraft buttons. The sentiment "May this Christmas be filled with" fits perfectly on a stamped die cut ticket made using Die-namics Just the Ticket die.

I finished it off with a trio of  sweet sentiments from LJD Stitched Stockings that I stamped on die cut sentiment strips made using Die-namics Sentiment Strips then stitched a Kraft button on each.

I also made a card featuring yet another trio of Stitched Stockings and featuring pretty Paver Red cardstock. I stamped the Merry Christmas sentiment on a die cut tab made using Die-namics Mini Tabs Foursome.

I completed the inside with a stocking image and another sweet sentiment from Stitched Stockings.

Shown below is the Die-namics die included in the November release that I used on my projects today:

Thanks so much for visiting! I hope you enjoyed my projects as much as I enjoyed creating them! I'll be back tomorrow with more to share for Day 2!
