MFTeasers-Ho-Ho-Ho

Jared has a Dr's appointment tomorrow, so I wanted to go ahead and post my peek tonight, but it is technically for tomorrow!! I gotta tell ya, I am on a ROLL this week. First it was the "wrestlin card" for Melanie's Blogaversary, and now this. Now, I know that Christmas is over, but do any of you watch Two and Half Men. Recently, I saw a rerun of the episode called Santa's Village of the D***ed, do you remember which one I am talking about?? Where Alan is dating his cooking teacher, they all get fat, and she loses her mind at Christmas?? Well, when I saw this stamp set, and I was brainstorming ideas, her "outfit" popped in my head and the plan was hatched!! I seriously GIGGLED the whole time I was making this card...am I the only one that does that?? Well, at least I cracked myself up!! Anywho, here are the details for the My Favorite Things release!


My Favorite Things (http://www.mftstamps.com/) is having a New Release Cocktail Party on Wednesday, January 7th from 9-10 p.m. Eastern time. This month there are FOUR new sets being released including a Who's that Girl set that is Maid for You!Head over to the MFT forum on http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/ to find out all the details and to find out how YOU can be the next MFT Guest Designer. We hope to see you there on Wednesday night.

So, this is the new Maid For You set...and I totally am getting coal next year for this one, LOL!! Isn't this HYSTERICAL...hehehe, I am dying here!! Okay, calm down...here are the details!! I started by stamping the main image on Gina K 80lb white with Momento Tuxedo Black and colored it in. I then layered it with Real Red and Basic Black. The white scalloped layer was made with my Rectangle Nesties and Cuttlebug. I added some crystal effects to the TV screen and some Liquid Applique to the bottom of the dress and "Santa's" slippers. hehe. For the wall hanging, I took my Oval Nesties and first cut out the scallop layer, then out of the scalloped layer I used a smaller regular oval nestie and cut out the center so I just had the frame. The vintagey Santa image is from some DP in my K&Co. Christmas stack. For my sentiment, I used the " Who You Callin a Hoe?" sentiment from my Twisted Sentiments set(hehe)and colored just the HO in Who with my SU black marker. My DP is from the Imaginisce Twitterpated line which I just got from Paper Addiction. It is super shiny and SO CUTE in person. My black ribbon is May Arts that Julie sent me, and the red was a gift with purchase from an order I placed somewhere(can't remember where). The black panel was run through my Cuttlebug with the Swiss dots folder then layered with a white scalloped layer.


SOOO, what do you think??hehehe

For today's peek, I am showing you the new Stephanie Fizer set, Owl For All Seasons. If you can remember back that far, my favorite Halloween set had to be Stephanie's Monster Squad...it is SERIOUSLY cute. These little owls TOTALLY remind me of it..yayy!! For this card, I used my new favorite, Raspberry Tart DSP. I stamped my Owls on Gina K. 120lb cardstock and colored them in with my SU markers. The owl in the middle was stamped twice and popped up to give it some dimension. I then cut it, and its layers out with my long rectangle nestabilities. The hearts were stamped with Rose Red, Cameo Coral and Kiwi Kiss and then I added Diamond Stickles to all of them. I got those ginormous silver brads from my pal Jackie P. and the ribbon is from SU. I also used some Making Memories nested heart chipboard to make my heart embellishments. They were covered with some more Raspberry Tart DSP. This card measures 8x4...its HUGE, but I LOVE it!! Before you ask, I don't buy special envelopes for cards this size. I just send them in regular old business sized envelopes!!

The Celebration Continues....

So we are in Day 5 of my friend Melanie's Blogaversary celebration and I am pretty sure we are having fun, right??!!! That's what I thought!! For today's card, I decided to take a whack at CASEing JulieHRR again. I chose this card of hers and changed the image, colors, eliminated the scallops, and paper....that's it, Yayyy ME!!! I did it, LOL!! I actually think this card is super cute too, which is a change for me. Normally when I make something this under done( as compared to my normal 15 layers and GOBS of embellishments), I am not happy with it, but I think this card is sassy and cute!! I stamped my Hippo from Melanie's Hip Hop Accessories stamp set with Momento Tuxedo Black on Gina K. 120lb white card stock. This stamp set can be bought at Gina K. designs and is SO FUN. It was made to coordinate with her Just So Hippy/Hoppy sets, and it gives you a TON more choices!! Anywho, my Hippo was colored with my SU Going Gray marker and her nails were colored with my Regal Rose marker. I actually stamped the hippo three times, colored all three, then cut out parts of it to give it more dimension. I used my Circle Nestabilities to cut out the white and my Scalloped Circles to cut out the Soft Sky layer. The DP is from My Mind's Eye and it was layered on top of a piece of Soft Sky. The base is Gina K. white also....simple, easy and SUPAH CUTE!!

Well, that is it for me now...my nephew will be back here tomorrow so, FUN FOR ME, LOL!! Also, sneak peeks of the new My Favorite Things releases start tomorrow, so stay tuned..you don't wanna miss them!!
