March New Product Tour-MFT

That's right ladies, we have made it through teasers, and now, all the new sets are available in the My Favorite Things Store!!!! Before you go shop, be sure to hop around to all the designers and leave them some love! You never know who has the candy!!

Be sure to head to Kim's Blog for a list of who, what, and where!

My job tonight is to show off the SUPER CUTE new Flopsey Goes Camping set!



For my card tonight, I started by stamping Flopsey on X-Press It blending card, and then colored him with my Copics. I then layered him with Spring Moss(PTI), Marigold Morning, and Hot Fudge(MFT). My paper is from the Three Bugs in a Rug Frisky pack. I used the Monarch Border Die-namics, for my border, and the Oval Open Scalloped Doily Duo Die-namics for my background. My sentiment was cut out with the First Place Award Ribbon Die-namics. The only other things I used were brads from Michael's, Walnut Seam Binding from the Ribbon Carousel, and some Liquid Applique for my marshmallows.



For the inside, I used another sentiment from this set, and more of the same supplies.


Here are the Die-namics I used:







Don't forget:



The Cherry on Top is earned when you spend $150 before shipping and tax, earning you $15 off your order. Once that amount is hit, the coupon code will pop up on your screen, which you can write down and then apply to your order in your shopping cart. If you remove things from your cart, making it fall below $150, the coupon code will be removed automatically.

Also, remember that SOMEONE out there is giving out blog candy, and the BEST way to win, is to comment on ALL the designers blogs!! Good luck!!

Now, off to Kim's Blog for a full list of designer's participating!! Happy Stamping!!

For my card tonight, I decided to use the new Pure Innocence Indian Girl. I LOVED her cutesy little dress, and I had just gotten in the new MME On The Bright Side-One paper, and LOVED the blue jean patterns in them...so of COURSE, I couldn't resist. I stamped her on X-Press It Blending Card, and then colored her with my Copics. I then layered her with Wild Cherry, Night of Navy, and Fossil card stock. Her dress and boots were paper pieced. I used the Royal Rose Die-namics for my flowers, and the First Place Award Ribbon Die-namics for my sentiment...which CRACKS me up. My bf thought I had went loopy.  My brads are from Michaels, and my Leather Tan Seam Binding, and Jute Twine are BOTH from The Ribbon Carousel. I followed the new Sketch For You To Try, as well.

Here are the Die-namics I used:



Well, that is it for me for now!

I made my card tonight for both our Teasers, and the Crazy 4 Challenges, challenge. This week's challenge was to make a card with a fancy fold, and I chose to do one designed by our leader, and my MFT teammate, Frances. It is the Center Step Card, which I found on SCS, and is SO much fun. It's super easy to do...if you read the directions. I won't lie, I had to do the base, twice. LOL! I cut my base out of Fossil cardstock, and then used Blu Raspberry, Orange Fizz, Sweet Tooth, and MME Be Amazing paper. I used brads from Michael's, and both the Hearts Die-namics, and the Notched Tag Die-namics for my hearts. I am in LOVE with the new Umbrella Die-namics, too. It is SO much fun!! My ribbons are both from The Ribbon Carousel-Orange V Striped Twill and Caribbean Twine. I used the First Place Award Ribbon Die-namics for my sentiment. 






Well, that is it for me for now!

ABC Friday- A Tribute to My Papaw



My Papaw passed away, yesterday, and since it was my turn to do ABC Friday over at There She Goes, I decided that I would make a shadow box for me to have....but then halfway through, I decided I would make it for my father.  My Papaw was a very special man, and had a huge, loving family that he held dear to his heart, as we do him to ours. I will miss him so much, but feel so blessed to have had him in my life. I love you, Papaw, and I will miss you always.

For my shadow box, I found some on sale at Michael's, 3 for $9.99. I took off the back, and covered it with some old SU paper. I didn't have a very good picture of my Papaw here, so I stold one from one of my cousins on Facebook.


I added some Satin Edged White Grosgrain, from the Ribbon Carousel, and American Crafts Thickers for his names. My brads are from Michael's, and my photo corners are the new Photo Corners Die-namics.


To finish it off, I used the Dadism's set to create my sentiment panel. I stamped several of the sayings to make a sort of list.

I really hope he likes this, if not, I am TOTALLY keeping it for myself!

Thanks for stopping by, and have a great day.

I wasn't in the mood to color tonight, and I am a huge procrastinator, so I went with the gorgeous Inpsired By Birds set. I stamped my bird with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on some MME Lost& Found Portobello Road paper. I then layered it with Basic Gray card stock from SU. My base is Very Vanilla, Basic Gray, and Bordering Blue. I used more of the MME paper, and the Simply Scalloped Medium Die-namics for my scallops. To add some interest, I used some Fancy Flourish Die-namics in Bordering Blue. My sentiments were cut out with the First Place Award Ribbon Die-namics, and to embellish, I used Michael's brads, Eggshell Vintage Seam Binding, and Stone Twine from the Ribbon Carousel. My sketch is last week's I Spy Sketches sketch, that I missed.

Here are the Die-namics I used:

For my card tonight, I started by stamping my image SEVERAL times: twice on X-Press It blending card, and and again on three different styles of MME Quite Contrary papers.

For my layer, I used the Open Scalloped Doily Duo Die-namics in Tangy Orange. My other card stock colors are So Saffron, Limeade, and Sweet Tooth. I used the Mini Monarch Border Die-namics, again with Tangy Orange, for my background, along with more of the paper.
