Adventure is Calling--MFT December Vault Release Day 2

It's Day 2 of sharing projects from MFT's December Vault Release!

If you missed it during its original release, you can now add Birdie Brown's

Adventure is Calling to your stamp collection.

I loved Birdie Brown's "big girl" images because they were easy to color (for me!) and 

you could always add more details and build up a scene.

I made two cards using the image--one in portrait and the other in landscape view.
On both cards I stamped the skyline over a panel of ink distressed sky. In hindsight
I should have masked the buildings on the second card, before spattering--it looks
like snow during summer......😲

We hope you liked this month's Vault Release and found something new or
something you missed the first time around. Happy shopping!

Serenity Now--MFT December Vault Release

Are  you ready? MFT is opening up the December Vault! All products are available
for purchase now in the MFT Store! Today and tomorrow we'll be sharing new-to-you
goodies, or something that you had your eye on but missed the first time around.
Now's your chance to grab it!

My card features Pure Innocence Serenity--a cute little yoga gal.

I did a bit of altering on her outfit--baring a little midriff for an updated look.
She was fussy cut and wisps of bangs were drawn in.

Two colors of Distress inks were inked on a white card base, then spattered
with gold watercolor ink. I made her a yoga mat from green card stock, and
popped her on top of it. The card was finished off with the stamped sentiment.

More October Vault Inspiration

Today we bring you even more inspiration using MFT's October Vault Release!

Comfy Sweater Die-namics has emerged from the Vault, and I've paired it
with a marshmallow lovin' penguin from Birdie Brown's Toasty Greetings
for an original, one-of-a-kind sweater!

The Knitted Sweater Background was white embossed on kraft card stock
and inked lightly to bring out the stitching lines. The collar and trimmings
were ink distressed and adhered to the sweater.

The little penguin was stamped, colored with Copics, and cut with the matching
Die-namics. I "appliquéd" him to the front of the sweater, then popped up the
sweater on a Primitive Cream card base.

A scrap strip of the cable knit pattern was adhered on the bottom of the card and
finished off with the stamped sentiment. How cute is that sweater?

We hope you'll find something you love in this month's Vault Releaase. Don't forget
to use #mftstamps whenever you share your projects on social media!

We're Opening up MFT's Vault!

Are you ready to see  MFT's October Vault Release?

It could be a new-to-you stamp set or something you missed during its original
release. And the good news is, you may purchase the October Vault Release now
in the MFT Store!

Today's project features another àla mode girl--Merry and Bright. She was
stamped, colored with Copics, then cut with the matching Die-namics. While it's
not necessary to cut out the image (I don't believe the original had matching
Die-namics) I wanted to give it a try and it's amazing! It even cuts out the little
spaces within the image!

Balloon Strings was stamped with dark pink ink on Razzle Berry card stock
for a tone on tone look. The àla mode girl was popped up on an oval piece then
adhered to the card base. A white embossed sentiment finished off the card.

This àla mode girl and more are waiting for you now in the MFT Store.

Stop by tomorrow for another day of Vault Release inspiration!

Here's More September Vault Release Inspiration

It's the second day of MFTs  September Vault Release. Today I'm sharing the

Game Controller Die-namics and Level Up Stamp Set which was so popular

during its first run. If you missed it then, now's the time to grab it!

The main piece was cut from dark gray card stock and inked on the edges

for a bit of dimension. The buttons were cut from black card stock and adhered

in their respective spaces. The colorful buttons were cut from MFT's card stock

and adhered in place.

I adhered the piece to a Grout Gray panel which was then adhered to a black

card base. The sentiments were stamped above and below the controller and I 

added some shine to the buttons.

This is such a fun set for gamers of all ages and, along with the rest of the September
Vault Release, is waiting for you now in the MFT Store! Happy shopping!
 

We're Opening MFT's September 2019 Vault!

 Once again, there's something for everyone, whether you missed it during 

its first Release, or find something completely new-to-you. And the best part is, 

they're all waiting for you NOW in the MFT Store!

I'm sharing a project using  Miss You a Latté from MFT's à la mode line.

I remember these stamps but I've never owned an à la mode girl before so 

I was happy to color her, especially with her large cups of coffee--so fun!

 The à la mode gal was stamped and colored with Copic markers. The cups were
colored in festive red and I added a small green heart on the cup cozy, then cut her
out with the matching Die-namics. I stamped a kraft card base with the Knitted 
Sweater background stamp in kraft ink for a tone on tone look and a bit of texture.

I cut out a rectangle large enough to frame the girl and white embossed the
sentiment on the side. The girl was popped up on the inside of the rectangle and
the back was covered with a kraft panel. The card looked a little plain so I added
two skinny strips on the card that was inked in ombré browns.

Grab this à la mode gal, and the rest of the September Vault Release, while you can.
Stop by tomorrow for more ideas and inspiration!

MFT August Vault Release Day 2

 My second project for the August Vault Release uses the All Star High Top Die-namics.
I was SO excited about this die because I just missed it when it was first released.

High top sneakers are a classic footwear and I updated the look by ink distressing
the shoe in three colors of distress ink: Spiced Marmalade, PIcked Raspberry, and
Wilted Violet. All the other pieces were cut from white card stock and

assembled on the shoe. 

The eyelets were a challenge to die cut then adhere to the shoe, but the final

outcome is so realistic, it was totally worth it. I even added shoelaces! I popped
up the shoe, stamped the sentiment and added a strip of patterned paper.
For a bit of texture, I added a few white stars around the shoe.

We hope you love the Vault Release as much as we do and that you'll find 

something old or new to add to your inventory. The monthly Vault Release

will only be available for a limited time so grab your favorites before they're gone

for good! Happy shopping!

MFT August Vault Release Day 1

By now you've heard the buzz: MFT is opening up the VAULT!

You'll be thrilled to rediscover some classic MFT designs that have been given a
new twist, or possibly a brand new design you missed from the past. We hope this
month's vault contains something you'll love. Visit today's post at MFT to see
all of this month's Vault Release.

Fresh from the vault is Pure Innocence You Color My World. I missed this cutie
earlier and I'm so glad she's back.

I stamped and colored her with Copic markers then cut her out with the matching
Die-namics. Her "masterpiece" was stamped on white card stock as her canvas,
and both pieces were popped up on a card base.

I stamped the sentiment and added a strip of patterned paper on the bottom.
A couple of stray paint spatters finished off the card.

During the Vault Release, you may purchase new goodies as early as Day 1.
There's no need to wait until tomorrow, you can start shopping NOW!

Thanks for stopping by today. Stop by tomorrow for more ideas and inspiration
using the August Vault Release!
