Hello there! Welcome back to Day 5 of the May MFT Teasers! Today I have a card to share featuring LJD Cheerful Blessings. All the new products included in the release will be available on Tuesday, May 7th at 10 PM in the MFT Boutique.

Once again I reached for the Die-namics Blueprints 3 die set as well as other Die-namics dies to create this card.  There will be a downloadable file available on Tuesday, May 7th at 10 PM in the MFT Boutique with the Die-namics Blueprints 3 product.
I stamped one of the sweet sentiments from LJD Cheerful Blessings on an oval die cut then layered it on top of the pretty die cut label made using Die-namics Heirloom Label die. I finished it with a corrugated die cut heart made using a Die-namics Heart STAX die and a pink lemonade button. 
Many thanks for visiting ~ I hope you like my sample.

Follow Your Heart... 61

Hi there and welcome to Day 3 of the May MFT Teasers! I hope you are enjoying all the samples provided by the MFT DT thus far! Today I have several cards to share featuring a combination of MFT Life's Direction and Distressed Background Basics stamp sets. The new products will be available on Tuesday, May 7th at 10 PM in the MFT Boutique.

To begin, I first created the colorful papers used on all three cards using the Chicken Wire Stencil and the Graduated Dots Stencil, various paints and the Gelli Arts Printing Plate.

On the first card, I stamped one of the beautiful sentiments from MFT Life's Direction on a die cut made using Die-namics First Place Award Ribbon DIE ONLY. Using the Die-namics Hearts a Plenty, I cut a trio of Kraft cardstock hearts then added texture by sending them through my paper crimper and topped one off with Sno Cone button.                                                                                                                                                                                 
For additional interest, I randomly stamped and heat embossed the checkerboard stamp from Distressed Background Basics. 
My next card, features more of my homemade artsy papers and more fun stamps from Life's Direction. I stamped the weathervane using MFT Berrylicious ink on a die cut made using Die-namics LLD Insert It - 3x4 Notepad die along with a sentiment from Life's Direction.
On this card, I randomly stamped and heat embossed the chickenwire stamp from Distressed Background Basics. 
Last but not least, is another card featuring yet another beautiful sentiment from Life's Direction which I layered on a die cut label made using Die-namics Heirloom Label.
On this card, I randomly stamped and heat embossed the polkadot stamp from Distressed Background Basics. 
Thanks so much for visiting today ~ I hope you enjoyed my trio of cards!

Make it Happen... 65

Hi there! Welcome to Day 2 of the May MFT Teasers! Thanks so much to all who took the time to leave such kind and sweet comments on yesterdays post ~ I feel so blessed :) Today I have some more samples to share featuring MPD Dandelion Wishes, MPD Distressed Background Basics stamps, Die-namics MPD Dandelion Stems and Toppers, Graduated Dots and Delicate Doily Stencils, LJD Peaceful Wildflowers. The new products will be available on Tuesday, May 7th at 10 PM in the MFT Boutique

First up is a layout featuring a photo of Connor, Meredith, Scott and myself that was taken at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park several years ago. First I created the background by randomly stamping and heat embossing one of the Dandelion blooms from MPD Dandelion Wishes then, I sprayed using my own premixed mist made using MFT Kraft ink and water as well as a variety of other mists. Drying between each color application so so the colors would have less of a chance of mixing and making a muddy mess!
Up close, you can see how nicely the beautiful dandelion blooms heat emboss:
I randomly stamped the checkerboard image from MPD Distressed Backgrounds Basics and randomly added stenciled dots using the Graduated Dots Stencil and gesso. Peeking out from behind the photo is chicken wire that was cut using Die-namics Chicken Wire die. LOVE!
I made a banner using a Die-namics Jumbo Banner Day STAX die which I misted, then randomly stamped the chicken wire image from MPD Distressed Background Basics
Using the new Die-namics Heirloom Label die, I cut a piece of corrugated cardboard, applied some Gesso, then layered on a sentiment from MPD Dandelion Wishes.  I topped it off with a few blooms that were made using the following Die-namics: Die-namics MPD Dandelion Stems and Toppers, Die-namics Layered Rose and Die-namics Rolled Flower.
Next, I have a trio of cards all made using Die-namics Blueprints 3, MPD Dandelion Wishes and MPD Distressed Background Basics. On May 7th at 10 PM EST in the, there will be a file available for download with the Die-namics Blueprints 3 product. This die set makes it so easy to make cards with ease! 

To create this card, I stamped one of the seeding topper images from Dandelion Wishes on top of a light smear of white acrylic paint then adhered the die cut stem that was made using Die-namics MPD Dandelion Stems and Toppers and stamped using Factory Green ink. 
I randomly stamped the polka dot image from Distressed Background Basics using Black Licorice ink on Pink Lemonade cardstock then I used the MFT Chicken Wire Stencil and gesso to add an additional layer of interest. The sentiment tag features a sentiment from LJD Peaceful Wildflowers.
The next card was made using Sno Cone cardstock along with the chicken wire image from Distressed Background Basics. I used the MFT Graduated Dots Stencil and gesso to add additional interest to the background. 
Last but not least is my last card featuring the Dandelion blossom from Dandelion Wishes. I stamped the blossom using MFT Lemon Drop ink x 2 and Factory Green ink to stamp the stem. I finished the card off with a seam binding bow that I colored using MFT Kraft ink along with another sentiment from Peaceful Wildflowers. I love how versatile MFT stamps are making it so easy to mingle them together!
The background was stamped using the checkerboard image from Distressed Background Basics and the stenciled layer was created using another one of the stencils designed and illustrated by me: MFT Delicate Doily Stencil
Shown below are the products designed by me included in the May release that I used on my projects today:
