MFT March Release Replay



It's time for MFT's March Release Replay! The design team is ready to bring you 
more ideas and inspiration with products from our latest release.

Today I'm sharing a project that involves stamping on wood slices, and coloring
the images with Prismacolor pencils. I love the organic look of wood stamping, 
and Sweet Succulents was the perfect set to play with.


I was inspired after watching Jennifer McGuire's how to video here. I stamped
the images with Black Licorice Hybrid ink, let them dry for a few minutes,
then colored them in.



You have to use a bit of pressure to get the vibrant colors to come through
on the wood and use good quality pencils for best results. You could attach these
to a card, or drill a hole and thread some twine through for a gift tag. I adhered
some strong magnets in the back and stuck them on my fridge.

Visit the MFT blog for more inspiration from the participating designers.
Thanks for stopping by!

CAS(E) this Sketch 162


Here's CAS(E) this Sketch 162, brought to you by our teammie Sam.



And here's my take on it. Truthfully, I was stumped. So I flipped the sketch
and breathed a little easier.


I die cut a sun from patterned paper and adhered it to a Blu Raspberry card.
A cloud border was adhered over the sun, and an extra cloud was popped up
over it. The sentiment was gold embossed, then the panel was cut
with the large rectangle element from Blueprints 25.

Visit CAS(E) this Sketch to see how the rest of my teammates interpreted
the sketch and join us if you can. Link up your card(s) by Thursday, March 10th
and as a winner, you could be guest designing on a future sketch!

MFT Wednesday Sketch Challenge #270


It's time for a new sketch at MFT Wednesday Sketch Challenge.
Here's Sketch #270.

And here's my take on the sketch.


The background was ink distressed with Distress inks and spattered with
water. I cut the panel with the rectangle element from Blueprints 24.

I used one of the new Cheerful Cages in place of the tag element, and added
a couple of sweet birds that were white embossed and ink distressed.
The sentiment was white embossed on a scrap of brown card stock and
adhered to the panel. The panel was then adhered to a Grout Gray card base.

Visit MFT's Card Challenges blog for all the details on how you can win
up to a $20 MFT gift voucher to shop in the MFT Store!
Hope you'll join us and see you in the gallery!

MFT March New Product Launch and Release




Yay! It's New Release Day at My Favorite Things! You can find all the
spankin' new goodies here in the MFT Store!

Before you go, I'd like to share one more card with you, using the new Die-namics
Stitched Circle Scallop Frames that I paired with Pure Innocence Spring Friends.


Scallops make everything cuter, don't you think? I stamped the little girl on
watercolor card stock and colored her with Copic markers. I used a pale blue
Copic marker to color the sky behind her and die cut the card with
a Die-namics Circle STAX.

A scalloped frame was cut from Grout Gray card stock and adhered
over the little girl. The bunny, chick and butterfly were stamped and
colored with Copics, and die cut with the matching dies, then adhered
inside the framed scene.


Balloon Strings Background was stamped on a top folding Grout Gray card
base with coordinating ink, and the framed circle element was adhered
with dimensional adhesive.



All right....off you go! Be sure to visit all of the designers participating
in the Product Launch and leave comments on all the blogs--including this one--
for your chance to win one of two $100 gift vouchers to the MFT Store!

Thanks so much for stopping by during the countdown!
