MFTeaser- What a Day and Baby Makes Three

Hey everyone!! I finally got a chance to make a sample using the new Die-namics Ric Rac die being released by My Favorite Things on Wednesday, June 2. Yaaaaayyyy!! I paired it with one of today's teaser sets, What a Day. Love it.

I used my new Ric Rac die along with some YUMMY Rockabilly DP to make my green striped border, LOVE IT!! My sentiment, from the What a Day set, was stamped and then cut out with my Cuttlebug and Oval Nesties.

For my next card, I used one of the other teaser sets for today, Baby Makes Three. Isn't it the CUTEST!! This set has the cutest little image, and a few sentiments to go along with it...including one to make birth announcements...NICE!!

Here is a look at the inside....simple, but I like it!!

New Die-Namics!!!

Hey everyone!! Sorry not to have a sample for today yet, but I didn't want to miss the opportunity to let you know that My Favorite Things is releasing not one, but THREE new Die-namics dies this month!!
The first one is a new element die. It is a two part sun die, YAAAAYYY!! I can't wait to get mine and start playing!!

The next, is our new Ric Rac die. It can be used with paper, or any other material you want to create your own faux ribbon!! SUPER COOL!!

This next one is our Ribbon RE:Creations Grosgrain Texture Board that can be used with the Ric Rac die. It will give your paper, fabric, whatever just a slight bit of texture to give it the look and feel of grosgrain. How sweet is THAT!!

And last, but not least, we have a GRASS die!!! WAHOOO!! I am LOVING this one, as I am SURE you will be too!!

The girl's are showing peeks with these awesome new dies today, so be sure to head to Kim's blog to see who is peeking!! The dies you have seen and heard about here will be released on June 2nd!! To see samples using these dies, and the previously released dies, check out the SCS gallery!!

The images in this set were also designed to coordinate with your Domestic Goddess set for even more versatility!!

There She Goes- By The Sea

Hey everyone, and welcome to day two of the There She Goes new release blog hop challenges!! Today's set is called By the Sea!! Here are the details from the There She Goes Blog!!

This beautiful ocean/beach themed set was illustrated by talented Chris Dark. The ocean is one of my very favorite places to be. There is just something so amazingly calming about it that instantly puts me at peace. I’ve had the idea for a beach set for awhile and when I met Chris, I knew that her illustration style would be perfect for it! I sketched up a rough draft of my ideas and emailed them to her. When I received her illustrations a short time later I was absolutely blown away! The way she brought this set to life is just amazing. The detail in her images make you feel as if you are right there at the beach enjoying the calming waves and the salty sea air :)

By The Sea is a 6x8 stamp set that includes a total of 37 stamps and will sell for $24.

Would you like a chance to win the By The Sea stamp set? Here’s what you need to do- go to each of the Trendsetter’s Blogs and leave a comment on their By The Sea Blog Hop Challenge post.

Today's hop started at the AMAZING illustrator of this set's blog, Chris Dark. If you are here now, you should have come from Jessica's Blog!!

There are so many wonderful stamps in this set, but I was feeling very simple and serene when I decided to stamp, and this is what happened. I hate missing people, especially when I have no clue why I have to miss them...if you catch my drift. Anyway, there isn't much to this card, and I don't really have any secrets to share, so I am just going to say THANK YOU for stopping by, and send you on your way to the next blog!! Off to Jodi's, where I am sure her card will make you say WOW!!

TECC114- Fun in the Sun

I am LOVING this week's Taylored Expressions sketch, aren't you? I always love her sketches, and this one was PERFECT for the stamp I wanted to use!!

I hadn't used my new Pure Innocence Beach Bum from My Favorite Things. I know you all LOVE these cutie pie little girl's, and she was the only Pure Innocence from this last release that I hadn't used yet, so I really wanted something with a big image panel!! I have decided NOT to bore you with all the "this is how I did it details", but I do want to mention some AWESOME stuff about my card!! First of all...I used the Jumbo Scalloped Die-namics on my Kraft piece, LOVE!! I can't wait for the new Die-namics to be released!!!
Also, if you are a bargain hunter: Hobby Lobby has it's art markers, including Copics, for 30%off, and all Spare Parts(Paper Studio) embellishments for 50% off. I got two huge bags of buttons, and a few markers for CHEAP!!
Well, that is it for me for today!! Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!!

DD/DDA- Bev's Button Challenge!!

Every month on the 20th, the past and present Dirty Girls host a monthly challenge. I forget about it every month, but my cutie patootie friend, Joanne, reminded us a couple days ago, and I finally got time to play!! This month's challenge was hosted by Bev, who was on the DD during my term as one, as well. Her challenge was to use buttons!! Lots of buttons, in fact, and the only restriction was that you were not allowed to use black of any kind...no ribbon, thread, buttons, or cardstock....not even ink.

For my card, I stamped my image from the There She Goes set, What's Up Buttercup?, on an MFT Perfect Panel with Memento Rich Cocoa ink. I then colored it with my Copics. The image was then cut out with Cuttlebug and Circle Nesties. I layered it with Celery, Saffron, and Bashful Blue cardstock. My DP is from the SU Delicate Dots pack. I used all SU ribbons, brads from Michael's, spiral clips from Creative Express, and my buttons are from the Paper Studio.
Well, that is it for me for now!! Here is a link to the gallery for this challenge, so you can see what the other DD/DDA's have created!! Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!!

I'm Mad About You SFYTT

I told you last night when I posted my My Favorite Things hop card, that I had a card using the new Costumes of Wonderland set, and here it is!! I am in LOVE with this new set....how about you??

I started by stamping my image on an MFT Perfect Panel, and also on some Razzleberry Lemonade DP. I paper pieced parts of her dress, and colored the rest with my Copics. I also stamped the flowers separately, and cut them out. I used Rich Razzleberry, Melon Mambo, and Crushed Curry cardstock. The sketch I used is Jen's SFYTT from this Saturday. All my ribbons, and punches, are from SU.

For the inside, I used more of the SU DP and cardstock, but I also used my new Die-namics dies. I used the scalloped scallops for the DP edge, and the cloud dies for my sentiment. Aren't they fabulous!!
Well, that is it for me for now!! Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.
