Guest Designing for My Favorite Things Part 2!

   

Happy Thursday!  I am back again today Guest Designing for My Favorite Things blog today.   You can see my first post HERE.    I have two more cards to share with you today.

For my first card I got to play with food!   I started with MFT Smooth White, Summer Splash, Sno Cone, Tropical Teal, Berrylicious, Natural, and Persimmon card stocks.   My card base is smooth white.   I die cut another smooth white panel using the scalloped frame from Blueprints 20.  I  die cut the Tropical Teal, Berrylicious, Summer splash, and Sno Cone card stocks using the  Horizontal Stitched Strips die namics. I stamped each panel using Houndstooth Background in matching inks using Tropical Teal, Berrylicious, Summer Splash and Sno Cone  Premium Inks.   I layered in a graduated effect from darkest to lightest.   I  die cut the persimmon card stock using Stitched Jumbo Fishtail Banner Staxs.  I stamped this panel using Premium Persimmon ink using the Swiss Dot Background.  I popped this panel using Foam Mounting Tape.

Next, I got to play with the Donuts die namics.  I cut three of the smaller donuts die using natural card stock and used the smooth white for the layered icing portion.  I stamped the sprinkles from Donuts and Sprinkles stamp set using Persimmon, Summer Splash, and Lemon Chiffon  Premium Inks.  Aren't they the sweetest treats ever?  I arranged the donuts on the side of the card using Foam Mounting Tape on the bottom donuts.  For the sentiment I used Blueprints 20 again for the stitched sentiment strip.  I stamped the sentiment from Donuts and Sprinkles stamp set using Hybrid Black Licorice ink.   I finished my card with a few sequins which were easily placed with the QuikStik Pick-Up Tool.   The best part about these donuts is that they are gluten free!  

For my second card, let's just say I had some fun with color!  This card makes me happy, happy!  I love the bold color combo with the mix of  patterns.   One thing I love to do is look at all of my MFT stamps and die namics to see what can work with my newest MFT goodies.  Here is what I mixed together for this card!

I started with MFT card stock in Smooth White, Summer Splash, Pure Plum, and Peach Bellini.   The card base is smooth white.  I die cut another smooth white panel using Blueprints 15.  I layered the Vertical Stitched Stax die namics.  I stamped each  with Harlequin Background with matching Premium ink in Pure Plum, Peach Bellini, and Summer Splash.   I die cut the Stitched Rounded Rectangle Stax using the Keep on Rockin' stamp set equalizer stamp at the bottom in Summer Splash.  I stamped the sentiment from Chalkboard Greetings stamp set in Hybrid Black Licorice ink. I colored the banner with Copics.  I stamped the pause button from Keep on Rockin' stamp set in Pure Plum ink.  I used some Foam Mounting Tape to pop up this panel.  I finished the front of the card with some loose thread for added detailing.

However, I did not stop there. I decided I wanted to add a little something something to the inside of my card.  I die cut the largest of the Stitched Rounded Rectangle die namics and again stamped the equalizer bars at the bottom using Pure Plum ink this time.  I stamped the sentiment from Keep on Rockin' stamp set without the "you" at the end.  I thought it would be fun to add interest using the die cut word "YOU" from Lots of Love die namics in Summer Splash card stock.  Instead of just stamping the pause button in the center, I used a die cut circle element from Out on a Limb die namics that fit the pause image beautifully.  I love how it turned out.  It is fun to play with all of my MFT stamps and die namics to see what works together. 

Let me know what you think?  Again,  thanks so much My Favorite Things  for asking me to showcase your amazing products!  

As always thanks so much for stopping by!

Guest Designing for My Favorite Things!

Happy Thursday!  I am so excited to be guest designing for My Favorite Things blog today.  If you have stopped by my blog in recent months, you KNOW I am a huge fan!   I have two cards to share with you today.

For the first card I started with MFT Black Licorice, Lush Lagoon, Ripe Raspberry, Summer Splash, Limelight Prestige, and Lemon Drop card stocks.  I am just over the moon with all the new MFT colors!  The card base is black licorice.  I die cut another black licorice panel using Blueprints 13 for the stitched edging.  Then, I used the newly released Inside & Out Diagonal Stitched Square Stax to create an inside out stitched frame.  I stamped the bottom of this panel with Keep on Rockin' stamp set using versamark and clear embossed for a cool effect.  

For the sentiment I used Blueprints 11 and die cut the "You Rock" in black licorice and limelight prestige card stocks.  I stamped the limelight prestige sentiment with Sheet Music background with Premium Limelight Prestige ink.  I glued the two panels together slightly offsetting the black for a shadow effect.  I glued the sentiment behind the inside cut out frame panel popping the letters on the outside of the frame's edge for added interest.  I popped up the entire black licorice frame using Foam Mounting Tape and inserted the cut out interior frame to recess behind for added detailing.  To complete the card, I die cut several of the smaller headphones that come in the newly released Headphone die namics and arranged on the card.  So COOL and totally ROCKS! 

For my second card, I went in a completely different direction.  This is what I love about MFT stamps and die namics.  There is just so much versatility and style options with these products.  I started with MFT Smooth White, Summer Splash, Cherry Crisp, and Coral Crush card stocks.  Have I mentioned how much I love the new colors?  I die cut the coral crush panel using the stitched frame from Blueprints 15.  I stamped this panel with Harlequin Background stamp using Premium Coral Crush ink.  I  die cut the summer splash using Stitched Jumbo Fishtail Banner Staxs.  

I stamped this panel using Linen Background in Premium Summer Splash ink.  I used Foam Mounting Tape to pop up this panel.  Next, I die cut the cherry crisp panel using Horizontal Stitched Strips die namics. I stamped this panel using Pinstripe Background in Premium Cherry Crisp ink.  I die cut the smooth white card stock with Pierced Circle Stax.  I stamped the sentiment from Spring Tulips stamp set in the center using Hybrid Black Licorice ink.  I offset the circle die and used Foam Mounting Tape to pop it up a bit for added dimension.   I die cut the Spring Tulips die namics and stamped with the coordinating image from Spring Tulips stamp set and colored with copics.  I popped the tulips up as well using a bit of Foam Mounting Tape.  I finished my card with a few sequins which were easily placed with the QuikStik Pick-Up Tool.  I used this tool all of the time! 

That is it for today!  Check back later in the month for another post!   Many thanks for My Favorite Things for asking me to showcase their products!  

As always thanks so much for stopping by!
