MFTeasers- Pure Innocence Monday!!

Judging by how many Pure Innocence cards I see out there, I'm thinking that you all are LOVING this new line from My Favorite Things just as much as I am!! This month, there are three new Pure Innocence Images being released, and I have two of them to show you today!!

For my first card, I used the soon to be released, Lollipop Girl. I just love how darn cute these little girls are!! I used it with this week's Sketch For You To Try. Can you see my Ric Rac behind the image(it's also on the inside)? It was made using the soon to be released Die-namic Ric Rac die. I also used some brown felt from the My Favorite Felt Banana Split collection from MFT.

For the inside, I used more of my SU DP, another piece of felt cut out using my Ric Rac Die-namic, and I also stamped my girl separately, cut her out, and added her on.

For my last card, I used last week's Sketch For You To Try along with the new Mud Buddies set. Isn't she precious?? I LOVED this color combo on my Fred Bear card, so I had to use it again!!
Well, that is it for me for now!! Thanks for stopping by and have a great day! Be sure to head to Kim's Blog to see what other DT members are showing teasers today!!

MFTeasers- Fred Bear & the Butterfly

Do you ever make something, and you just can't get over how cute it is?? Well, that rarely, if ever, happens to me...but I am LOVING this card!! I THINK it may have something to do with the fact that it features my new FAVE character from My Favorite Things, Fred Bear. Today's teasers are of the new Emma Blows Kisses, Wyatt Says WOW, and Fred Bear & the Butterfly.
Since I love Fred SOOOOO MUCH, I decided to use him, but never fear, Emma and Wyatt will make it on my blog VERY soon!!

I think, and it's just a guess, but I am loving this card wholly based on the cuteness of my image, which I added the butterflies too, and my color choices. The main image is just of Fred holding his flower. The set comes with two butterflies, as well as two sentiments. I added the butterflies to his nose, and the flower. I LOVE it.
Well, that is it for me for now!! Be sure to head to Kim's blog for the full list of people showing teasers today. I love my MFT sisters, and I am SURE they are all going to have something FABULOUS for you!! Have a great day, and a safe weekend!! See you here tomorrow, same time/same place!!

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!!

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!!
