My Favorite Things Stamps...WSC # 220 & ColourQ # 283...Sending Big Hugs!

Hey stampin' friends! Seems like I've been colouring up a lot of cute little animals these days, which I LOVE, but I've missed colouring up this cute PI girl! I thought I'd colour up Sending Big Hugs and join the MFTWSC Sketch Challenge # 220, while I'm at it!

 I needed a little colour inspiration for this card...the ColourQ Challenge was perfect and they've extend the ColourQ # 283 deadline! Finally, I just learned about the House of Cards Challenge (Thanks Mynn for letting me know about it) and the challenge is to use enamel dots...ummm, If you've visited my blog before then you know I have a serious addiction to YNS Gumdrops, so I'm entering this card in the March House of Cards Challenge!

Here is the fun sketch that they have this week for the MFTWSC # 220 

Here's the great colour combo that they have over at the ColourQ Challenge # 283

I used MFT Replenishments Heavyweight Card Stock in Black Licorice, Steel Blue, Kraft, 

Factory Green and Primitive White

I coloured the Pure Innocence Sending Big Hugs girl with my Copics and paper pieced her dress with Authentique Peaceful 6X6 papers. I used the Fishnet Stencil and inked randomly with Forest Moss Distress Ink. I used my Circle STAX and Stitched Circle STAX and layered over the scalloped border from Blueprints 14, the Kraft cardstock is cut with the washi-tape die from Blueprints 13 and the flowers are from Blueprints 3. I stamped the sentiment from the PI Sending Big Hugs Stamp set with Steel Blue Premium Dye Ink directly on the main panel that is cut with die from Blueprints 13. I embellished with some green AC Twine and a smattering of YNS Sparkly Silver Gumdrops.  

I finished off the inside of my card...I stamped a shadow image of the PI Sending Big Hugs girl in Factory Green Premium Dye Ink and stamped another sentiment from the set on the fishtail banner from Blueprints 12. I used the Layered Treat Label Die-namics and the FABULOUS Horizontal Stitched Strips, which I never put away cuz I used them ALL the time ;)

Thanks SO much for stoping by and havin' a wee peek at my Pure Innocence card for the MFTWSC # 220 Sketch Challenge and for the ColourQ # 283!

My Favorite Things Stamps...WSC # 70...ALM - Talk Nerdy to Me!

Hello stampin' friends! Are you ready to get sketchy with MFT this week!? We have yet another FUN sketch for you to play with. Just make a card or creation with the sketch and upload it to the SCS using the proper keyword, MFTWSC70 by Tuesday, May 8th at noon EST, for your chance at our weekly prize! The lucky winner will receive a $15 gift voucher and if the winner uses MFT stamps, they will receive $5 in bonus bucks, for a total of $20!!!  

For my card I thought this sweet A La Modes Talk Nerdy to Me stamp set would go nicely with the fun Simple Stories, FabUlous 6x6 papers. I've been flipping the sketchs around lately and did again this week. I coloured the ALM girl with my Copics and paper pieced her out fit and the giant pencil. I used the Notebook Edge Die-namics and layered it with cotton trim and some pretty Caribbean Twinery Twine. I stamped part of this wonderful sentiment on kraft cardstock cut with the Fishtail Flags STAX Die-namics. The flowers are cut with the Flower and Leaf Trio Die-namics and have BG brads in the centers.

Here is the inside....I stamped the ALM girl again, I stamped the rest of the sentiment on another Fishtail Flag STAX, a few more Flowers and I cut a photo corner with the Photo Corner Die-namics.

Well, thanks SO much for stopping by and havin' a wee peek at my card. Head on over to Kim's Blog for links to all the other MFT Designers with cards using this week's fab sketch MFTWSC70!

Here is the card that I've made to feature the new Girly Graphic Tee Stamp and Die-namics set. This fabulous set is SO on trend, SO cute, So FUN and a must-have set! I have to say, I am quite happy with how my card turned out and all because this Girly Graphic Tee set made it come together so easily!

I decided to make a little Rocker Girl Tee...like the ones I had in high school with the name of my fave Rock band on it...this one is much cuter, smile! So, I cut two Tees with the great Tee Die-namics die, one from brown cardstock and one from the patterned paper from the pretty Simple Stories FabUlous 6x6 paper pad. I used my Fingertip Swivel Kraft Knife to cut the sleeves, neck and hem off the Tee to layered it over the dark brown cardstock Tee! I used several of the super fun sentiments in this set to create my own personalised Graphic Tee....how cool is that!? I also used the new Vertical Greetings II label Die-namics die and cut it from Chocolate Cork material. I used my beloved Fishtail Flags STAX, the new Mini Scallop Edge, The Flower Trio and the circle tag from the Let's Toast Die-namics.

Here is the inside...I cut the Vertical Greetings II Die-namics label from Chocolate Cork the Happy Birthday sentiment is from The Big Greetings Stamp set and the word bestfriend is the Girl Graphic Tee Stamp and Die-namics set. 

Thanks SO much for stopping by and having a wee peek at my card featuring the great new Die-namics that are available in this release. Now swing on over to Kim's Blog for links to all the MFT Designers with Fun ways to use the new Stamps and Die-namics from this release!
