MFTWSC84-You Amaze me

Hey everyone, and happy Wednesday!! That means it is time for another Wednesday Stamp Club challenge from My Favorite Things! It's MY favorite sketch challenge!!





For my card today, I used the super cute new EMT Girl set from the My Favorite Things Pure Innocence line. I stamped her on X-Press It Blending card, and then colored her with my Copics. She was then layered with Taken with Teal(SU), Red Hot, and Black Licorice. I paired her with the Authentique Celebrate paper pad. My dots are from the Double Dot Border Die-namics. I used MFT buttons in Red Hot, Sweet Tooth, and Black Licorice. I tied Charcoal Twine through them, and added some brads from Michael's, and a spiral clip with some Black Licorice Grosgrain. To finish, I used the Lead the Way Die-namics for my sentiment.



For the inside, I used more of the same supplies.

Here are the Die-namics I have used:



We encourage you all to play along, and to enter your card in the weekly draw for a $15 gift voucher to the MFT Boutique. Simply follow the sketch and create a card or other paper creation.

August New Product Tour!!!


That's right everyone, 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!!

I told you the other day that one of the new a la modes was near and dear to my heart, and here it is: 80's girl!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE her!!! I have been waiting rather patiently for her to come out, and I am SO happy she is finally here, rocking her leg warmers and side pony tail!!




For my card, I stamped her on X-Press It blending card, and then colored her with my Copics. She was then layered with Wild Cherry, Orange Fizz, and Black Licorice cardstock. I used the Basic Grey Offbeat paper pad for the background. For my sentiment, I used the Designer Labels 4 Stax Die-namics, and to accent it, I used one of the Lead the Way Die-namics arrows. To finish my card off, I used the Black Licorice Grosgrain, and some Maraschino Twine.


For the inside, I used the same supplies as I did for the outside.

Here are the Die-namics I have used:










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!!

My second card uses the Inspired by the Front Porch-Fall set. I stamped my rocking chair with Memento Rich Cocoa ink on X-Press It blending card. I used Colorbox chalk ink for my sentiment. The main image was cut out using the Oval Stax Die-namics, and layered with the Decorative Doily Oval Die-namics. My cardstock colors are Hot Fudge(MFT), Jellybean Green(MFT), River Rock(SU), and Sweet Tooth(MFT).  I paired it with the MME Six by Six All Spice pad.
