My Favorite Things Stamps...April Release Rewind...LJD - Sweet Roses!

Hello Stampin' friends! I know you all enjoyed the new MFT Teaser Time format and we have yet another exciting NEW feature for you....Welcome to the April MFT Release Rewind! We would like to take this opportunity to share a few more creative ways to use your NEW Stamps and Die-namics from the April release that are AVAILABLE NOW in the MFT Boutique!

I'm featuring the gorgeous NEW Lisa Johnson Designs Sweet Roses Stamp set and the coordinating NEW Roses and Leaves Die-namics. I also made a little treat box with the adorable NEW Scalloped Treat Box Die-namics and used the NEW Open Simply Scallops Trio Die-namics and last but not least, I teamed up elements from the fabulous NEW Blueprints 2 and the Blueprints 1 Die-namics. My card and treat box are made with the beautiful MFT Replenishments Card Stock in Razzle Berry, Blu Raspberry, Sour Apple and Smooth White.

 

I decided to get good and inky for the April Release Rewind and tried my hand at the "faux watercolour" technique using the MFT Premium Dye Ink refills in Blu Raspberry, Razzle Berry and Pink Lemonade for my watercoloured roses and used Gumdrop Green and Sour Apple Premium Dye Ink Refills for the watercoloured leaves. 

To "watercolour"  I added some drops of ink from the 3 ink refills to a piece of acrylic and spritzed it with water so they would blend and mix together a little but not so much that it becomes a muddy colour.  I then dipped the large sold rose stamp in the ink mixture and randomly stamped it on the fabulous MFT Smooth White Card Stock. I also stamped and embossed extra flowers and leaves and cut them out with the NEW Roses and Leaves Die-namics. Finally, I took a paintbrush, dipped it in the ink and tapped it to add little ink splatters and splotches to the card front.

Here is the inside of the card...I stamped another sentiment from the NEW Sweet Roses Stamp set with Embossing ink and Embossed it with Zing Opaque White Embossing Powder. I added a few more watercoloured roses and leaves cut with the NEW Roses and Leaves Die-namics. 

I cut the NEW Scalloped Treat Box from Smooth White Card Stock and added some ink splatters before I assembled it. I then cut the stitched border from the Blueprints 1 Die-namcis and wrapped the box with it and added a few more watercoloured roses and leaves and Embossed the sentiment on the Sour Apple tag cut with the cute tag Die-namics from the NEW Blueprints 2.

For my second card I again used the various elements from Blueprints 1 and 2. I also cut the Smooth White panel with the Rectangle STAX Die-namics and added more ink splatters.  I used my fave Layered Layered Labels Die-namics for the sentiment.

And here is the inside...and a few more watercoloured roses and leaves and another Embossed sentiment from the NEW Sweet Roses Stamp set.

Thanks SO much for stopping by and having a wee peek at my cards and NEW scalloped Treat Box Die-namics featuring the NEW Sweet Roses Stamp Set and the coordinating NEW Roses and Leaves Die-namics.

I didn't use any pattern paper....can you believe it? lol! Well, the MFT Replenishments Heavyweight Card Stock is SO gorgeous it's not necessary...I used yummy Grapscicle, Pink Lemonade, Natural and Blu Raspberry and made the card base from Replenishments Kraft Heavyweight Card Stock.

I used the Blueprints 1 and Rectangle STAX Die-namics to make the layers for the card as per the sketch. 

I inked up the super sweet NEW Pure Innocence - I Wheelie Like You Stamp set and coloured her with my Copics. I cut the image out with my Oval STAX Die-namics and used the "Out of the Box" Technique. I left the image in the die and inked with Tumbled Glass Distress ink and then added in some grass with my PrismaColor Pencils. Finally, I stamped the sentiment in Grape Jelly Premium Dye Ink on the tag from the NEW Blueprints 2 Die-namics, I tied it with Hemp Cord and added Hemp Cord bows to the Party Banner too!

Here is the inside...I used both the Blueprints 1 and Blueprints 2 to make the double mat in Grapesicle and Pink Lemonade Heavyweight Card Stock and then cut the Smooth White Card Stock with my Rectangle STAX. I stamped the shadow image of the PI I Wheelie Like You in Grape Jelly Premium Dye Ink. I stamped the sentiment from the PI Basket of Eggs and added another Party Banner.

I have made 4 cards with NEW Pure Innocence Serenity Stamp Set following all 4 of the Blueprints 2 sketches PDF. You can find the Blueprints 2 sketches PDF on the MFT Blog.

I cut 4 A2 cards from MFT Replenishments Kraft Heavyweight Card Stock for the base and used the pretty BasicGrey Hey Girl 6x6 paper pad for all 4 cards. For my first card, I matted with Electric Red and Blu Raspberry Heavyweight Card Stock. I coloured the NEW PI Serenity girl with my copics and cut her out and popped her up on framed oval.  I cut several butterflies with the Notched Tag Die-namics and the Butterflies Die-namics. I stamped a sentiment from the PI all Occasions Stamp set on whip Cream Heavyweight Card Stock cut with the tag from the Christmas Ornaments Die-namics.

Here is the inside...I cut the panel from Whip Cream Heavyweight Card Stock with the large rectangle die-namics from the NEW Blueprints 2 Die-namics and stamped the NEW PI Serenity girl with Electric reg Premium Dye Ink. I used the Sweet Stack Labels Die-namics for the sentiment panel and used two sentiments from the NEW PI Serenity Stamp set to create this sentiment. I added a little hemp cord and another cute butterfly.

Now for card # 2...I used the gorgeous NEW Factory Green Heavyweight Card stock and I love it paired with Orange Fizz Heavyweight Card Stock. This time I paper pieced the sweet little PI Serenity girl, coloured her with my Copics, cut her out and popped her up on the card. I LOVE the sweet little tag in the NEW Blueprints 2 Die-namics and I stamped the cute sentiment with the NEW Orange Fizz Premium Dye Ink. I also love the little tag "reinforcer" die...it is also a great little spot to put a gem or brad!

This is card #3...I used Blu Raspberry and Hot Fudge Heavyweight Card Stock...I love this colour combo. I cut the oval frame from the NEW Blueprints 2 Die-namics from thin chipboard and covered it with Blu Raspberry Heavyweight Card Stock . I cut the floral pattern paper with the Oval STAX Die-namics.  PI Serenity girl is coloured with my Copics and cut out. I popped her up on the oval...her yoga mat!

My Favorite Things Stamps...Wendy Burns Design...Cupcake Cutie!

Hello Stampin' friends!!! I'm back today with another card featuring one of the NEW soon-to-be released April stamp sets. This month we are switching things up for Teaser Time and all the NEW details are on the MFT Blog! Take a few minutes to pop on over and check it out...we have HUGE prizes up for grabs! All of the new stamp sets and Die-namics will be available on April 9th at 10 PM EST in the MFT Boutique.

I'm thrilled that MFT is introducing the NEW Wendy Burns Design line! Wendy’s line is fun, whimsical, and blast to colour! I've totally fallen in love with this cutie...Cupcake Cutie, to be exact!  I paired her with BasicGrey Bowties and Hey Boy 6x6 papers...I LOVE the orange and red colour combo! I matted with MFT Replenishments Heavyweight Card Stock in Steel Grey, Orange Fizz and Red Hot. 

I had SO much fun colouring up the NEW Cupcake Cutie with my Copics...I even tried a little tip that I picked up recently. I added a red cast shadow to her skin...this is the light reflecting the colour of her dress onto her skin. I used my E00 and R24 Copic and used the tip-to-tip technique. I really like how it turned out.

I cut the image with the NEW Mini Album Bracket STAX and I used the "Cut and Re-Cut" technique to have the bracket edge on both sides of the image. I then left the image in the die and inked with Spiced Marmalade Distress ink.  I cut the ticket with the Just the Ticket Die-namics and stamped the ticket frame from the Just the Ticket Stamp set with Electric Red Premium Dye Ink and then stamped the sentiment from the NEW Chocolate Sentiments Stamp set ( this month's Triple Scoop) with the NEW Orange Fizz Premium Dye Ink. I added Red Hot Grosgrain Ribbon and tied a big bow with a Tangy Orange Button tied with Hemp cord.

Here is the inside...I stamped the NEW WBD - Cupcake Cutie with NEW Orange Fizz Premium Dye Ink on Smooth White Heavyweight Card Stock and I used the oval frame from the NEW Blueprints 2 Die-namics. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the font for this set. I stamped the sentiment with Electric Red Premium Dye Ink on Smooth White Heavyweight Cardstock. I cut the sentiment with the Fishtail Flags STAX and cut it twice to get the fishtail on both ends. I also inked the sentiment panel by leaving it in the die and ink with Orange Marmalade Distress Ink. I cut a mat from Orange Fizz Heavyweight Card Stock and added two cute Tangy Orange Buttons tied with Hemp Cord.

 Thanks SO much for stopping by and having a wee peek at my card featuring the NEW Wendy Burns Design - Cupcake Cuite Stamp set.

My Favorite Things Stamps...April Teaser Day 2...Story Titles & Mini Album Bracket STAX

 

Hello stampin' friends! Welcome to MFT Teasers Day 2! I hope you are enjoying the NEW awesome Teaser Time format along with the NEW HUGE prizes that are up for grabs! The new release products will be available at My Favorite Things on April 9th at 10 PM EST. All the Release details are available on MFT Blog so be sure to check it out!!!

Today, I am featuring the fabulous NEW Mini Album Bracket STAX and the NEW LLD Accent It - Story Titles. First up, I have a fun Mini Album to share with you and I used several NEW soon-to-be released MFT Stamps and Die-namics! I made this album with photos of my kids on the first day of school. So, grab a coffee/tea  and join me for the Mini Album Bracket STAX tour...oh and I also made some cute, if I do say so myself, note cards too! 

***WARNING this is a long post!***

 So let's begin, I cut 4 pages for the album with the largest die-namics from the NEW Mini Album Bracket STAX Die-namics. I used thin chipboard that I had in my stash and ran it through my Vagabond. I then cut the various pattern papers for the pages from the BasicGrey Knee Highs and Bow Ties 6x6 paper pad to cover the chipboard pages and adhered it with Zip Dry liquid adhesive...that stuff really sticks and doesn't warp the paper, but the fumes are migraine inducing! I then sanded the edges with my BasicGrey Precision Files and inked with Mix'd Media Inx in Jasmine (white).  I lined up where I wanted the binder clips and punched the holes in the pages of the album with my Crop-A-Dile.  On the cover I used the NEW Red Delicious Die-namics. Again, I cut it from thin chipboard and cut out the pattern paper to cover the apple, leaves and steam....love the dimension the chipboard adds! I also used the NEW Open Simply Scallop Trio Die-namics and the NEW LLD Accent It - Story Titles Die-namics...which I absolutely LOVE...SO FUN, SO many possibilities!!! I added the little tag from the Howdy Frames Die-namics and stamped the date from the LLD Journal It - Days and Dates Stamp set. I stamped the date with the NEW Factory Green Premium Dye Ink! I also stamped a portion of the sentiment "old School" from the LLD Jorunal It - Playlist Stamp set. I stamped directly on the apple with the NEW Factory Green Premium Dye Ink with a sentiment "Photos" from the NEW LLD Document It - Expand Your View Stamp set and the LLD Document It - Captured Memories Stamp set.

Here is the first page in the album....Oh, I also cut two Tags with the Traditional Tags STAX Die-namics and cut the pattern papers to covered them. I like when embellishments and sentiments from the next page peek out behind smaller pages or tags in a mini album. Again, I punched the holes in the tag for the album with my Crop-A-Dile and I punch a hole at the top of the tag and laced through some pretty Sno Cone Grosgrain ribbon. Again, I used a NEW LLD Accent It - Story Title Die-namics and the cute little tag from the NEW Blueprints 2. It's cut from the same thin chipboard and covered with pattern paper and all the edges are sanded. I also used the NEW Laina Lamb Accent It - Reel Life Die-namics and the NEW Laina Lamb Document It - Expand Your View Stamp set. This new View-Master style die-namics is TOO CUTE for words and I had a lovely trip down memory lane when building my reels for this mini album.

Here you can see I cut the floral pattern paper cut with the NEW Mini Album Bracket STAX Die-namics, using the next size down and then layered the NEW Accent It - Story Title cut from Blu Raspberry Heavyweight Card Stock. I also added Blu Raspberry Buttons tied with Hemp Cord and stamped a sentiment from the NEW LLD Document It - Expand Your View Stamp set on a Mini File Tab with Kraft Premium Dye Ink.
 

Check out my reel with the NEW LLD Accent It - Reel Life Die-namics....Nope, those aren't real little photos in the reel...but it looks like it, eh?!  I wanted to make the frames of the reel look as realistic as possible and wanted them to have that "negative-look" that the real, reels have, ha ha...say that 3 times fast! Then I had an aha moment...my creative mojo kicked in....I had a plan!

But first, I cut the reel from Natural Heavyweight Card Stock and used the NEW LLD Document it - Expand Your View Stamp set to add a sentiment with Blu Raspberry Premium Dye Ink. I also added the numbers with the LLD Journal It - Calendar Basics Stamp set and the arrows are stamped with half of an arrow stamp from the Document It - Right This Way Stamp set with the NEW Hot Fudge Premium Dye Ink.  Then to make my faux photo frames, I cut the frames from clear acetate with the NEW LLD Accent It - Reel Life Die-namics and pulled out my Tim Holtz Alcohol Inks and dusted them off.  On my Non-stick kraft sheet, I added coordinating colours of Alcohol Ink to the felt pad on the applicator tool and then had fun dabbing the ink on each little acetate frame to get that mottled "negative" look that I wanted. I then adhered the frames with Score tape and cut another reel as a backing. I think it looks pretty darn cool and pretty realistic too!!!!

This is the other side of the tag...here I used the NEW LLD Document It - Hello My Name Is Stamp set.  First, I cut the "label" from Smooth White Heavyweight Card Stock with the LLD Insert It - 3X4 Insert Die-namics. I then stamped the NEW LLD Document It - Hello My Name is label with Sno Cone Premium Dye Ink. I just had to spell out my son's name...the poor kid can never find a personalized pencil or key chain. I used the Vanity Plate Stamp set with the gorgeous NEW Orange Fizz Premium Dye Ink. I also added a little arrow from the Lead the Way Die-namics. 

On this page, I stamped a sentiment from the Vanity Plate Stamp set on the Mini Tab from the Mini Tab Foursome with the NEW Orange Fizz Premium Dye Ink. The word "awesome" is stamped with Kraft Premium Dye Ink and is from the NEW LLD Document It - Hello My Name Is stamp set. I added a Kraft Button tied with hemp cord.

For this page, I  made a pocket to add in a little hidden journaling spot...I made the pocket from Gumdrop Green Heavyweight Card stock and cut with the LLD Insert It - 3X4 Pocket. I then cut the LLD Insert It - 3X4 Insert from Smooth White Heavyweight Card Stock and stamped it with LLD Journal It - Library Card Stamp in the NEW Hot Fudge Premium Dye Ink. I then clipped a photo of Kieran on the library card. I did a little stamping on the pocket with the NEW LLD Mod Borders Stamp set. I added the grade with the NEW Bottom Line Numbers and Symbols and the By the Letters Uppercase and Lowercase Alphabet Die-namics cut from Steel Grey Heavyweight Card Stock. 

I made another reel with the NEW LLD Accent It - Reel Life Die-namics and the NEW LLD Document It - Expand Your View Stamp set. I made it the same way as the other one...this time stamped in the yummy NEW Orange Fizz Premium Dye Ink...still can't get over how cute the faux photo frames are and they look so  realistic...and so easy to make too! Can you see the Gumdrop Green peeking out from the tag...that is cut the LLD Insert It - 3x4 Insert from Gumdrop Green to back the Name tag on the other side so that it looks nicer/finished that way.

This is the other side of the tag...this is Hannah's name tag. Again, I used the NEW LLD Document It - Hello My Name Is Stamp set stamped with Wild Cherry Premium Dye Ink and stamped her name with the Vanity Plate Stamp set with Gumdrop Green Premium Dye Ink. I tied Gumdrop Green Grosgrain ribbon through the tag.

On this page, I added another Insert It - 3x4 Pocket cut from Blu Raspberry Heavyweight Card Stock, added a little stamping with the NEW LLD Mod Borders in the NEW Hot Fudge Premium Dye Ink and added her grade with the NEW Bottom Line Numbers and Symbols and By Letters Uppercase and Lowercase Alphabet Die-namics.  There is also another Library card under the photo of Hannah and I cut the rounded mini file tab from the Mini Tab Foursome from chipboard. Then covered it with pattern paper and stamped the sentiment from the LLD Document it - Right This Way Stamp set. It's all layered over a Open Scallop Doily cut from Lemon Drop Heavyweight Card Stock.

And these are the last 2 pages in the mini album....

On this page,  I used another one of the fantastic NEW Accent It - Story Titles but I cut off the portion that said "week". I used the thin stitched border from the NEW Blueprints 2 Die-namics.  The word "day" is from the NEW LLD Document it - Expand Your View Stamp set stamped on Sno Cone Heavyweight Crard Stock and layered over the Stitched circle from the Blueprints 1 Die-namics. I stamp the word 'Day" with the NEW Hot Fudge Premium Dye Ink. I also used the LLD Accent It - Story Starters Die-namics layered over the photo. I tied a little hemp bow and added a Enamel dot.

And finally, I used the LLD Insert It - Notebook Paper Die-namics and stamped it with the LLD Journal It - Graph Paper Notes Stamp set. I also stamped the sentiment from the Vanity Plates Stamp set on the Mini tab from the Mini Tab Foursome Die-namics and stamped the sentiments from the NEW LLD  Document It - Expand Your View Stamp set on the Fishtail Flag. I added some Razzle Berry Buttons tied with hemp cord and another corrugated cardboard photo corner cut with the Photo Corner Die-namics. 

Phew....are you still with me?! Don't go quite yet, I still have a few more note cards to share using the NEW LLD Accent It - Story Titles and the NEW Mini Album Bracket STAX. I hope you can spare a few more minutes :)

I wanted to show you how versatile the NEW Mini Album Bracket STAX and LLD Accent It - Story Titles are...if you aren't a scrapbooker or not up to making a mini album you will still get lots of use from these fabulous NEW Die-namics. I paired them with the NEW Chocolate Sentiments (this month's Triple Scoop)!

I cut 4 note cards with the largest of the dies in the NEW Mini Album Bracket STAX Die-namics. I scored and folded Sweet Tooth Heavyweight Card Stock and then ran it through my Vagabond with the Mini Album Bracket Die-namics. I made sure to line up the die so that it was above the fold, making sure not cut through the folded edge...Voilá...a Bracket Edge Note card! My note card set was inspired by my favourite chocolate/flavour pairings. So, I picked my MFT Replenishments Heavyweight Cardstock accordingly...First up, I LOVE chocolate and raspberry. I cut the Razzel Berry Heavyweight Cardstock with the NEW Mini Album Bracket STAX Die-namics and then I lined up the NEW LLD Accent It - Story Title on the Razzle Berry Heavyweight Cardstock, held it in place with low-tack tape and ran it through my Vagabond and trimmed it with my glass mat, Finger Grip Kraft Knife and metal edged ruler.  I then stamped with Razzle Berry Premium Dye Ink with the NEW LLD Mod Borders Stamp set. I stamped the sentiment "sweet" from the NEW Chocolate Sentiments with Pink Lemonade Premium Dye Ink on Smooth White Heavyweight Card Stock and cut it out with the stitched circle from the Blueprints 1 Die-namics. I added a sprinkling of pink gems and tied a hemp bow.  

Here is the inside...I cut the sentiment panel with the NEW Mini Album Bracket STAX and then cut a smaller thin mat for it by cutting around the outer edge of the die with my Kraft Knife on a glass mat. I stamped another sentiment from the NEW Chocolate Sentiments Stamp Set on Smooth White Heavyweight Card Stock with Razzle Berry and the NEW Hot Fudge Premium Dye Ink. I popped the panel up on foam adhesive.

I LOVE chocolate and orange...Yum! I cut the Hot Fudge Heavyweight Card Stock with the largest die from the NEW Mini Album Bracket STAX Die-namics and the lined up and cut the NEW LLD Accent It - Story Title Die-namics. I used my glass mat, Finger Grip Kraft Knife and metal edged ruler to trim off the top portion which leaves the die cut sentiment attached to the larger portion of the cardstock. I then adhered it over the Sweet Tooth note card. But first, I stamped the sentiment and NEW Mod Border Stamp Set with Embossing ink and embossed with Zing White Embossing powder. I wrapped and tied the hemp cord into a double bow. I stamped the heart with the NEW Orange Fizz Premium Dye Ink on the Smooth White Heavyweight Cardstock cut with the Solid portion of the Layered Heart Border Die-namics. I used the "cut and re-cut" technique to get a single heart cut perfectly. I then popped it on the card with a sprinkling of orange gems.

Here is the inside.

Here I used Orange Fizz Heavyweight Card Stock and embossed the sentiment and the NEW Mod Border with Chesnut Zig Embossing Powder.  I added a Hot Fudge Button with Hemp Cord. I wanted the Mod Border to match the solid arrows in the sentiment from the NEW Chocolate Sentiments so I stamped it and the shifted the stamp over and stamped it again and then added the Chesnut Zing Embossing Powder...now they are all solid arrows.

Here is the inside...I used the Fishtail Flags STAX and stamped the sentiment in NEW Hot Fudge Premium Dye Ink and cut an Orange Fizz heart with the Heart STAX Die-namics and popped it up with dimensional adhesive. 

Here is the last one...this card is inspired by my fave Cool Mint chocolate bar from Laura Secord's :) delicious...and I like that this sentiment is a little cheeky! I used Sno Cone Heavyweight Card Stock and stamped the NEW Mod Border with Kraft Premium Dye Ink and added a Kraft Button tied with Hemp cord. I used the Well Worn Greetings Die-namics and stamped the sentiment from the NEW Chocolate Sentiments on Smooth White Heavyweight Card Stock and added a few brown half-pearls to finish it off!

and here is the inside....this sentiment is from the Lollipop Additions - Birthday Stamp set and stamped with the gorgeous NEW Hot Fudge Premium Dye Ink!
