MFT April New Product Launch and Release




It's time! You may now purchase MFT's April Release! All new products are
available here in the MFT Store. Before you go, I'd like to share one more
project with you and possibly add to your shopping list!

My assignment was to use Well-Connected Numbers together with the Diagonal
Design Background. I white embossed the background stamp on watercolor card
stock and ink distressed in rainbow order and spattered water over the surface.


I chose capital letters from the Well-Connected Alphabet set and the numeral "2"
to form my sentiment on a banner. The dark gray was a little too bold, so I toned
it down for a chalkboard effect. After adhering it to the colorful panel, I finished
off the card with a few sparkling clear sequins.



 And there you have it--MFT's April Release! For more inspiration, visit the
rest of the Creative Team and leave a comment on all blogs (including this one!)

MFT April Release Countdown--Day 1



It's the last day of MFT's April Release Countdown! All new products will 
go on sale tomorrow, April 4th at 9PM EST.

Today I'm sharing a card made with Beautiful Butterflies, a set that was 
released in a recent Card Kit, and will now be sold ala carte in the MFT Store.
My card is a total CASE of my MFT teammate Yoonsun's card that she shared 
here. I totally fell in love with how she colored her butterflies and recently
shared this pic on Instagram. 


In order not to be a complete CASE, I added one more butterfly than she did
--a purple one!--and a sentiment from Boss Babe.


My thanks to Yoonsun for her never ending inspiration! Be sure to stop by
today's countdown post at My Favorite Things and leave a comment there for
a chance to win $75 in prizes. And please stop by tomorrow for Release Day!

MFT April Release Countdown--Day 2



 It's two more days until My Favorite Things April Release! Have you got your
wish/want lists ready? All new product will go on sale Tuesday, April 4th at 9PM EST.


I may be a little biased, but I think MFT has trendiest and coolest background stamps.
That being said, meet this month's stamp--Diagonal Design.


The labyrinth pattern reminds me of a maze, so I chose the two part sentiment and
worked on the background. I ink distressed a piece of watercolor card stock with
several colors of Distress inks, sprayed the entire surface of the stamp with water,
then pressed down on the inked piece. Yes, I stamped with WATER instead of ink!


I love how water "bleaches" Distress inks and gives it an entirely different look than
embossing does. The sentiment was gold embossed on a strip of vellum, and die cut
from shiny gold card stock. The card was finished off with sequins.

MFT April Release Countdown--Day 3



It's Day 3 of MFT's April Release Countdown and this month's Pure Innocence-- 
Fresh Squeezed--is so ready for summer with some fresh lemonade!


She was stamped on watercolor card stock and colored with Copics, then cut with the
matching Die-namics. A card base was covered with yellow checkered paper, and topped
with the scalloped edge.

A strip of grassy border was added to ground her, and I popped her up with dimensional
adhesive and added the sentiment. The card was finished off with yellow sequins.

Be sure to visit today's countdown post at My Favorite Things for more inspiration and
peeks of the April release, and leave a comment there to win a daily prize!
