MFTWSC117-Hello

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 new Pretty Poppies set. I stamped my flower with Wild Cherry ink, and the stems and leaves with Jellybean Green ink. I cut it out using my Circle Stax Die-namics, and then layered it with Jellybean Green cardstock cut out with the Open Scalloped Doily Duo Die-namics. My paper is from the Lilybee Designs Double Dutch paper pad. I used the Scalloped Ribbon Die-namics for my white ribbon panel, and I used Michael's brads to embellish it. To finish, I added some Jellybean Green ribbon, and my sentiment cut out with the Sentiment Strips Die-namics. The base of my card is the new Smooth White cardstock.

For the inside, I stamped another sentiment from the Pretty Poppies set using Jellybean Green Ink.

Here are the Die-namics I have used:

Well, that is it for me for now! Be sure to check out the MFT blog for a full list of designers participating in today's sketch!

I layered her with Natural cardstock from My Favorite Things, and also used Smooth White, Tangy Orange, and Jellybean Green. My ribbon is Kraft from MFT, and I used Michael's brads. For my background, I used the Medium Simply Scalloped Die-namics to cut my paper layers from the MME Indie Chic-Ginger paper pad. The main image was cut out using my Oval Stax Die-namics.

Nutmeg is a 3x4 set that includes a total of 5 stamps and will sell for $9.00.

March Creative Challenge- Color Combos

The MFT Design Team Creative Challenge is a monthly feature, where we are challenged to explore our creative side using a specific theme, product, or technique. 

This month, we are highlighting our favorite color combinations using MFT Ink, cardstock, buttons,ribbon, and felt. 

Be sure to check out the MFT Blog for a list of all participating designers who have a project to share with you today.

For my projects tonight, I chose two different sets, but two of my most FAVORITE color combos!! I am in love with Wild Cherry, so it is featured in both combos...and who could blame me, it's so PRETTY! 

For my first card, I paired Smooth White, Wild Cherry with Jellybean Green and Kraft cardstock. I used the new Poppies set, which was stamped using both Wild Cherry and Jellybean Green ink. You can tell by the close up picture that the ink covers so well!

I used Kraft ink to stamp my sentiments, and cut them out using the Blueprint 1 Die-namics. I also used one of the sketches provided along with the Die-namics. 

I embellished with a Wild Cherry button which has some twine through it, Michael's brads,  and Kraft ribbon.

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

My second card features the super cute new Party Time Doodle Garden set. She was colored with Copics, and paper pieced as well. The color combo on this card is my favorite right now-Smooth White,  Wild Cherry, Berrylicious, and Gumdrop Green. I LOVE how bright and cheerful it is!

You can see by the close up photo that I cut out her arms, and present separately to give them some dimension. If you don't do this while paper piecing, it tends to make the arms look funny and lost.

For my sentiment, I again used the Blueprints 1 Die-namics, and some buttons in all of my colors: Wild Cherry, Berrylicious, and Gumdrop Green. My ribbon is Wild Cherry.

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

Here are the Die-namics I have used:

Well, that is it for me for now!! Be sure to head on over to the MFT blog for a full list of designers participating in this month's challenge!! Have a great day!
