Hi Stampin' friends! YAY!!! It's the time we've all been waiting for...time for the June Release New Product Tour! That means ALL the Brand Spankin' NEW Stamps and Die-namics are now available! But before you run off to fill your shopping cart please join us for the JUNE New Product Tour!

Today I am featuring the NEW Washi Tape Die-namics and Washi Patterns Stamp set! I also used the fabulous  NEW Blueprints 4 and the NEW Lisa Johnson Designs - Blissful Butterflies and Blissful Butterflies Die-namics.

I used this pretty Authentique Summer 6x6 paper pad for my Kraft A2 cards and matted with Blue Raspberry, Lemon Drop and Steel Blue Heavyweight Card Stock. On this card I used one of the solid/distressed patterned papers for the Summer pad to make my "washi tape" using the NEW Washi Tape Die-namics and then stamped with the NEW Washi Patterns  with Lemon Drop Premium Dye Ink. I also stamped a few pretty butterflies from the NEW LJD - Blissful Butterflies on Smooth White Card Stock with Lemon Drop Premium Dye Ink and cut them out with the NEW LJD - Blissful Butterflies Die-namics. The sentiment is from the NEW LJD Blissful Butterflies, stamped with MFT Steel Blue Premium Dye ink on Smooth White Card Stock cut with the tag from Blueprints 2.

Here is the inside...I added a few more strips of the "washi tape" that I made with the NEW Washi Tape Die-namics and Washi Patterns Stamp set and a few more Blissful Butterflies. The Sentiment is from the NEW Bold Statements Stamp Set (this month's Triple Scoop)...LOVE this new sentiment set!!!

For this card I matted with Lemon Drop Heavyweight Card Stock and stamped a few more Blissful Butterflies in Blue Raspberry, Lemon Drop and Steel Blue Premium Dye Ink. I made more "washi tape" with the NEW Washi Tape Die-namics and Washi Patterns...this time I cut the washi tape from a blue solid/distressed sheet of patterned paper and used Blu Raspberry Premium Dye Ink. 

One of the fun things you can use the NEW Washi Patterns Stamps for is the "Stamp Kissing technique". With a few of the solid butterfly stamps from the NEW Blissful Buffterflies, I inked the butterfly and then "kissed" the inked-up stamp with a Washi Patterns Stamp and then stamped it on the butterfly die-cut. It gives a subtle pattern to what would have been a solid image. You can see the effect on the Blue Raspberry Butterfly at the top of the card.

Here is the inside...the Sentiment is from the NEW Blissful Butterflies Stamp set, stamped with Steel Blue Premium Dye Ink and I used the Sweet Stack Labels Die-namics.

And this is my last card in the trio...I used the Hexagon STAX Die-namics and more Blissful Butterflies! I added more fun "washi tape" and used the "Cut and Re-Cut" technique to make the washi tape the size I wanted yet keeping the perfect torn edge the die makes.  The Small Blue Raspberry butterfly was made by "Kissing" the dotted pattern stamp from the NEW Washi Pattern Stamp Set to the inked up butterfly stamp...butterfly kisses :)...sorry, I couldn't resist!

 photo MFTNPT0611WashiD_edited-1RS4_zps192652fa.jpg

Here is the inside...I stamped a sentiment from the NEW Blissful Butterflies in Blue Raspberry Premium Dye Ink. The small butterfly stamped with Steel Blue Premium Dye ink was "kissed" with the chevron pattern stamp from the NEW Washi Patterns Stamp Set.

My Favorite Things...June Teasers - Day 7 - Insert It- Speech Bubble Frame


 photo MFT0611SPFB_edited-1RS1_zps74a0c5f3.jpg

Hey stampin' friends! I'm back with two cards for Day 7 of the June Teasers! Today we are featuring the NEW Pure Innocence - On a Picnic, Picnic Basket Die-namics, Max Alphabet, Insert It - Speech Bubble Frame! The new release will be available tonight at My Favorite Things on June 11th at 10 PM EST. All the release and prize details are available on the MFT Blog so be sure to check it out!!!

 photo MFT0611SBF_edited-1RS1_zps7855d188.jpg


I made this card with the NEW Insert It - Speech Bubble Frame, the NEW Chalkboard Greetings and the NEW Chalkboard Frame Builder Die-namics. I used Heidi Swapp Serendipity 6x6 papers...I'm SO loving yellow and grey colour combo...can't seem to get enough of it! I matted with MFT Replenishments Heavyweight Card stock in Steel Blue, Sno Cone and Banana.

So, I thought I would get with the trend and add a few sequence to these cards. I've had sequence in my stash forever and now they are all the rage...so I pulled them out for this card. I've also seen lots of gold glitter lately but I'm personally more of a silver girl, so I added some silver glitter cardstock while I was it. I cut the NEW Insert It - Speech Bubble Frame from the silver glitter cardstock and cut the Insert It - 3x4 Insert Die-namics from Smooth White Card Stock. I stamped the sentiment from the NEW Chalkboard Greetings with MFT Steel Blue Premium Dye Ink on the 3x4 Insert and adhered the silver speech bubble frame over it. I also used the NEW Chalkboard Frame Builder to cut the patterned paper and and silver cardstock to make the cute little angled edge flags.

Here is the inside...I used just the speech bubble from the NEW Insert It - Speech Bubble Frame Die-namics and added a few more angled edge flags.  I stamped a sentiment from the Pearls Of Wisdom Stamp set with MFT Steel Blue Premium Dye Ink on pattern paper cut with the Jumbo Cloud STAX Die-namics.

 photo MFT0611SBFb_edited-1RS3_zps6daddcf5.jpg

Here is my second card, again, I used the Heidi Swapp Serendipity 6x6 papers and MFT Replenishments Heavyweight Card Stock in Steel Blue, Sno Cone and Banana. I used the NEW Insert It - Speech Bubble Frame Vertically this time to fit the sentiment from the NEW Chalkboard Greetings.  Again, I  stamped it on Smooth White Card Stock cut it out with the Insert It - 3x4 Insert.

 photo MFT0611SBFD_edited-1RS4_zps2c803818.jpg

I added a few more sparkly sequence and cut a few more angled edge flags with the NEW Chalkboard Frame Builder Die-namics...I love it when I come up with little ways to use my Die-namics other than their intended purpose. 

 photo MFT0611SpeechbubbleC_edited-1RS3_zpsf2cac512.jpg

Here is the inside...I stamped the sentiment from the LLD Document It - Off the Chart Stamp set.

I made my card 6x6 and used the Authentique Renew 8x8 paper pad. I matted with MFT Black Licorice, Steel Blue and Sno Cone Heavyweight Card Stock.  The NEW Wendy Burns Designs for MFT have fast become my favorite stamps and I absolutely adore the NEW Wendy Burns Designs - You're So Special to me Stamp set. She is SO much fun to colour! I coloured her with my Copics and again used my Charcoal pencil and a paper stomp to add in some dark shading...(love how hair turned out).  I love the fun sentiment that comes in the NEW WBD - You're So Special To Me Stamp set too. I stamped it in Steel Blue Premium Dye Ink on Smooth White Card Stock cut out with the NEW Insert It - Speech Bubble Frame. I stamped around the edges of the Speech Bubble with the floral stamps from the NEW You're So Special To Me Stamp Set with Sno Cone Premium Dye Ink.

I also used the NEW Washi Tape Die-namics and the Washi Patterns Stamps. I cut one of the more sold papers from the Authentique Renew Paper pad, cut it with the Washi Die-namics, then stamped with the various Washi Pattern Stamps.

 photo MFT0609DGAloha_edited-1RS1_zps5b4b104d.jpg

 I made my card 6x6 and used MME The Sweetest Things Tangerine 6x6 papers. I matted with MFT Replenishments Heavyweight Card Stock in Electric Red, Bubblegum and Sno Cone. I inked up the super sweet NEW Doodle Garden Aloha girl and coloured her with my Copics. I also used the fun NEW Palm Tree Die-namics. To add a little more dimension to the palm tree I cut it out  from the thin chipboard and then cut the NEW Palm Tree Die-namics from MFT Hot Fudge, Gumdrop Green, Limeade and Jellybean Green Heavyweight Card Stock. I adhered the large spray of palm leaves, a few individual leaves and the trunk cut from the cardstock to the thin chipboard. 

I'm LOVING the NEW Washi Tape Die-namics and Washi Patterns Stamps in this release. I cut the washi tape from Kraft Heavyweight Card Stock and stamped various patterns from the Washi Patterns Stamp set in Orange Fizz and Red Hot Premium Dye Ink.

Here is a close up of the tropical NEW Doodle Garden Aloha girl! I just adore her and she was SO much to colour! I stamped one of the sentiments from the NEW DG -Aloha stamp set in Red Hot Premium Dye Ink on Kraft Heavyweight Card Stock and cut it out with one of the little tags from the Blueprints 1 Die-namics.

 photo MFT0609AlohaD_edited-1RS4_zps8b36687f.jpg

My Favorite Things...June Teasers - Day 3...Abstract Art

 photo MFT0607AbstractArt3_edited-1RS2_zps00990bd7.jpg



Hello stampin' friends! Check out my new blog design? I LOVE it! Thanks Emily and Designer Blogs

So, It's Day 3 of June Teasers and today we are featuring the NEW Abstract Art, Paint Brushes Die-namics, Art Expression Text and the Peek-a-Boo Dots Die-namic. The new release will be available at My Favorite Things on June 11th at 10 PM EST. All the release and prize details are available on the MFT Blog so be sure to check it out!!! 
  
I made three cards with the fabulous NEW Abstract Art Stamp set (SOOO much fun) and the NEW Bold Statements stamp set and I used the fabulous NEW Blueprints 4 and the NEW Paint Brushes Die-namics too.
 photo MFT0607AbstractArt2_edited-1RS1_zpsc8bfc6df.jpg

Never mind a message in a bottle wouldn't love to get a message in a paint can!? I had this idea to make a bird's-eye view of some paint cans. So, I made the A2 card-base from MFT Replenishments Heavyweight Card Stock in Grapesicle and cut the Smooth White Card Stock with the large rectangle from the NEW Blueprints 4. On the Smooth White Card Stock, I stamped various splatters, splotches and swatches of "paint" with the NEW Grapesicle Premium Dye Ink and in Electric Red and Orange Fizz Premium Dye Ink.

 I used the Circle STAX 1 and 2 to make the large, gallon sized can of paint from metallic silver card stock and I used the stitched circle element from Blueprints 1 and a smaller Circle STAX Die-namics nested in the center to cut out the rim of the pint sized paint cans.  I stamped the sentiment from the NEW Bold Statements set with Black Licorice Premium Dye Ink on the Electric Red Heavyweight Card Stock that is the "paint" on the inside of the can. I added a paint brush to rest on the edge of the large paint can with the NEW Paint Brushes Die-namics. To get a more realistic look of a paint brush dipped in paint,  I cut 2 "bristles" with the Paint Brushes Die-namics; one from Black Licorice Heavyweight Card Stock and one from Electric Red Heavyweight Card Stock. Then I used the Wavy Edge Die-namics to cut the wavy edge of the Electric Red Bristles and adhered it over the Black Licorice card stock.

Here is the inside...I made a pint sized paint can and added another paintbrush and used the NEW Bold Statements Set again for the sentiment.  

 photo MFT0607AbstractArt_edited-1RS1_zpscf12b683.jpg

I really love how this card turned out with the NEW Insert It - Speech Bubble Frame. I used the actual Speech Bubble instead of the frame and stamped several sentiments from the NEW Bold Statements Stamp set with MFT Premium Dye Ink in the NEW Grapesicle, Orange Fizz and Red Hot Premium Dye Ink. I added a paintbrush with the NEW Paint Brushes Die-namics.    

 photo MFT0607AbstractArtC_edited-1RS3_zpsa2f3e4f7.jpg

Here is the inside...more fun splotches, splatters and swatches of "paint" with the NEW Abstract Art and another sentiment from the NEW Bold Sentiments set.

 photo MFT0607AbstractArt5_edited-1RS5_zps70077c62.jpg

This is my third card today and I really had fun with this one too. I created my own paint chip...SO cool! I cut the long rectangle from the NEW Blueprints 4 Die-namics from Smooth Card Stock. I used thin Eclipse tape to mask of the measured sections and then I used the back of a MFT border stamp (specifically the wood-grain stamp from the LJD Western Backgrounds Stamp set) and inked it to get a solid swatch of colour.  stamped the swatch of ink in a gradation of the red using MFT Premium Dye Ink in, Red Hot, Wild Cherry and Electric Red.  I used the LLD Journal It- Calendar Basics stamp set to add the actual serial # of each of the MFT Premium Dye ink pads and I stamped the sentiment from the LLD Document It -  Rock On Stamp set. 

 photo MFT0607AbstractArt7_edited-1RS7_zps4c293db9.jpg

and this is the inside...I stamped another fun sentiment from the NEW Bold Statements Stamps set and a few more splotches and splatters of paint from the NEW Abstract Art set. I added another paint brush with the Paint Brushes Die-namics.
