MFT August Card Kit Release



My Favorite Things August Card Kit--Sensational Stitched Flowers is now
available to purchase in the MFT Store!

I'd like to share one more card with you, using the contents of the kit, as well as
MFT products you may already own. This is such an awesome kit and I'm predicting
another super early sell out, so be sure to grab yours now!


I wanted to create a wreath, so I folded a 5x5" card base from Primitive White
card stock and stamped the Crosshatch Background with In the Buff dye ink.
 I die cut a ton of flowers and leaves from the card stock in the kit.


The edges of the flowers and leaves were shaded with Distress inks, and
highlighted with white pigment ink to give them more dimension. They were
adhered to the card base, forming a wreath. The sentiment was gold embossed
on a strip of vellum and wrapped around the card.

I'm so in love with the stitching details on the dies. Stitching always adds
wonderful texture and ink distressing brings it out even more.

Thanks for stopping by during the card kit countdown and release!
Now, go and buy your kit and don't forget to tag your photos with #mftstamps
on social media so we can see your projects created with this fabulous kit.

MFT Sensational Stitched Flowers--Day 2



Today we're sharing "out of the box" projects with MFT's August Card Kit,
Sensational Stitched Flowers, using other MFT products you may already own.

The stitched flowers and leaves were just begging to be ink distressed,
so I obliged. I love how adding color brings out the stitching details even more.


Tone on tone stamping was done with the Wire Background on a Cement
Gray card base. I ink distressed several blooms and leaves and adhered them
to the card. The "thanks"--this month's "free with $60" die--was adhered and
the second part of the sentiment was white embossed beneath it.

participating design team members. This amazing kit will go on sale
tomorrow, August 23rd at 10PM EST in the MFT Store!

MFT Sensational Stitched Flowers--Day 1




Flower lovers will swoon over this month's card kit from My Favorite Things.
Visit today's countdown post at My Favorite Things for a complete list of the kit contents.



Today participating design team members are sharing projects made with only
the contents of the kit and some basic supplies. Here's my card.


 The card stock colors in the kit are just gorgeous, and I love how they pop against kraft
card stock. And check out the stitching details on the flowers and leaves. So awesome!



I trimmed the sentiment apart so it would fit the space on the card, and white
embossed it. I finished off the card by rounding off the bottom right corner.

Visit today's card kit countdown post at My Favorite Things for more
inspiration from participating design team members. Sensational Stitched
Flowers will go on sale Tuesday, August 23rd at 10PM EST.

Tag You're It Challenge #54


As the winner for Tag You're It! Challenge #52, I was invited to join the
design team and play along with Challenge #54.




Here is this week's inspiration tag, compliments of Michelle Short.



And here's how I was inspired.


I inked up Hero Arts Layering Goldfish and the Misti made it so easy to line up
the different stamp layers. The ink distressed panel was in my stash, and I used
a rounded tag die to cut out the tag shape.

After stamping the goldfish, I used the coordinating dies and popped him up
on the tag, and stamped the sentiment. Nuvo Crystal Drops formed the bubbles,
and the tag was finished off with a strip of dotted paper and some twine.

Visit the Tag You're It Challenge blog for all the details and see more
inspiration from the design team.
