Merry Christmas...MFTWSC155 29

Hi there! Today I have yet another Christmas card to share that I made for the MFTWSC sketch challenge. 

Here's this week's sketch: 

I made a wintery forest scene on my card:

To create the scene, I die cut pretty 13arts patterned paper using both of the Die-namics Tree Lines dies, stamped / embossed a trio of Sophisticated Snowflakes on Sno Cone card stock and finished it off with a sentiment from Starry Christmas: 

I'm also entering this card in the CAS-ual Fridays challenge where the challenge is to use snowflakes or snow when creating your project:

Thanks so much for stopping by ~ I hope you join along in the fun! You have the opportunity to win a $20. gift certificate to the MFT Boutique! Be sure to visit the MFT blog for additional inspiration.

Hi there! Welcome to day two of the MFT November Release Rewind! Today, many of the MFT DT members will be sharing projects made using awesome products included in the November release! Be sure to visit the MFT blog for a complete list of designers who will be participating.

I have a couple of cards to share. First card up is featuring the adorable Pure Innocence Happy Heart Snowman:

I stamped the cute little guy on a die cut that was made using a Die-namics Pierced Oval STAX die then embellished with an embossed Sophisticated Snowflake:

Next card is rather simple. To create this card, I used the Die-namics Chevron Cover-Up die to cut a piece of Primitive White cardstock then layered on top of a piece of Cotton Candy cardstock. How easy is that?!

I embellished with a beautiful blossom made using the Die-namics Hybrid Camellia Flower die along with some Die-namics Layered Leaves and added a sentiment from Banner Greetings:

In case you missed yesterday's post, (click HERE), I'm very excited to introduce you to my newest stamp set along with 1 of 3 stencil designs that are included in this month's release!

The Sophisticated Snowflakes stamp set:

and the Abstract Petals stencil (1 of 3 stencils):

Today I have a few projects to share featuring a variety of fab products included in the November release. First up is a layout featuring a photo of Connor and Meredith that was taken while on a ski trip to Aspen, Colorado several years ago. To begin this layout, I started with pretty 13 arts patterned paper, added texture and design using the Abstract Petals stencil. For color, I spritzed on Blu Raspberry mist then randomly stamped the checkerboard image from Distressed Background Blocks. 

To create the little die cut banner, I used a Die-namics Jumbo Fishtail Banner STAX die to cut Kraft cardstock then stamped and embossed the three smaller snowflakes from Sophisticated Snowflakes. For the title, I used the fun dies from Die-namics LLD Little Letters to cut Black Licorice cardstock to spell out the word FUN.

Peeking out from behind the framed photo is a big die cut tag that was made using Die-namics Blueprints 9 that is full of stamped / embossed snowflakes from Sophisticated Snowflakes:

I embellished the layout with a beautiful blossom made using the Die-namics Hybrid Camellia Flower die along with a few die cut leaves made using Die-namics Layered Leaves:

Next up is a greeting card featuring a flurry of Sophisticated Snowflakes along with a sentiment from Starry Christmas. 

I stamped / heat embossed one of the smaller snowflakes on a die cut circle that was made using a Die-namics Circle STAX Set 2 die. I topped it off with a Banana Split button and a pearl.

For layout sketch inspiration, I joined along with the Sketchabilities sketch challenge #102:

and for card sketch inspiration, I joined along with Freshly Made Sketches:
