I've made a card with the gorgeous  NEW Thankful Leaves Stamp set and used the coordinating NEW Fall Leaves Die-namics and paired it with American Crafts, Pumpkin Patch 6x6 paper pad. 

So, I cut out several sets of leaves from Whip Cream Heavyweight Card Stock and then stamped the coordinating solid leaf stamp on each die-cut with various colours of Memories Pigment ink and I layered the different colours of ink onto the stamp to get the autumnal variation in leaf colour. I then stamped each leaf with the coordinating vein stamp with Sepia Memories Dye ink. I also cut an Open Scallop Doily from corrugated card as a "home" to arrange the leaves around...this gives them an anchor and you don't get that "sticker/die-cut sneeze effect". The Thankful Leaves comes with a beautiful script background stamp and I stamped it on the circle tag from the NEW Howdy Die-namics. I used the NEW Fishtail Flags Layers Die-namics and Fishtail Flags Die-namics, then stamped one of the beautiful sentiments from the NEW Thankful Leaves Stamp set. I also cut the NEW Framing Flourish Die-namics from brown cardstock and then cut it in half, tucking pieces here and there. To Embellish, I added some Hemp cord and a Hot Fudge Button and some bling.

Here is the inside...I cut another Open Scallop Doily with the Open Scallop Doily Duo and arranged a few left over stamped and die-cut leaves. I stamped another sentiment from the NEW Thankful Leaves on Whip Cream Heavyweight Cardstock cut with the NEW Fishtail Flags Layers Die-namics. I added another cute little tag from the Howdy Die-namics, stamped with the script stamp from the NEW Thankful Leaves stamp set, another Hot Fudge Button tied with Hemp Cord and a few of the smaller Framing Flourishes tucked in with the leaves. 

Thanks for swinging by today and have a little look at my card for Day 4 of MFT October Teasers! Please make you way to Kim's blog now for links to all the MFT Designers with gorgeous cards to share today featuring the NEW Thankful Leaves Stamp set. 

Happy Stampin'!

I used the sweet little tag from the NEW Howdy Frames Die-namics and the NEW Framing Flourishes Die-namics.

I made two cards with this fabulous NEW Lisa Johnson Designs - Howdy Stamp set. This is such a fun set and I wanted to show how versatile it is, so, I made a cowgirl card and cowboy card for you today!

First up, is my very girlie and quite bright card. I used this new BasicGrey Soleil 6x6 pad and I know this card would appeal to a pre-teen or teenage girl and I was right...my daughter, Hannah, totally loves this card. Working with this gorgeous NEW Howdy Stamp set brought back fond memories of my childhood too. I remembered playing with my friend Sirena, she had a large collection of these beautiful model horses, we would play for hours.

I also used the NEW Howdy Die-namics, the NEW Western Star Border Duo and the NEW Framed Flourishes!
  

Here is a detail shot of the sweet little tag from the NEW Howdy Frames Die-namics. I love that you get several tiny stars in the NEW Howdy Stamp set with different patterns that fit perfectly inside the larger star circle stamp...makes a great two tone effect. I also used the Country Charms Die-namics and the Flower Medley Die-namics. I added a big bow with gorgeous MFT Grapesicle Grosgrain ribbon.

Here is the inside of my card...I used the Well Worn Greetings Die-namics for the sentiment panel and stamped anther fun sentiment from the NEW Howdy Stamp set. I absolutely LOVE the NEW Western Star Border Duo Die-namics...it's a must-have item from this release.

Now for the more masculine card using the NEW Howdy Stamp set and the NEW Western Background Stamp set.  I used the MME Portobello road 6x6 papers and I used the NEW Howdy Frames Die-namics and the NEW Western Star Border Duo Die-namics.

I stamped one of the background stamps from the NEW Western Background stamp set on Sweet Tooth Heavyweight card stock cut with the larger of the two ribbon dies from the First Place Award Ribbon Die-namics. I think it looks like a spotted horses or a cow print.  I also used the Star STAX Die-namics and the small stars are cut out from the Western Star Border Duo Die-namics and sprinkled them around the card. 

Here is the inside of the card...I stamped the background stamp from the NEW Western Background Stamp set again.

Thanks SO much for stopping by and having a wee peek at my cards with the NEW Howdy and NEW Western Background Stamp sets. Please mosey on over to Kim's blog for links to all the MFT Designers with inspiration today!

For my card today I took the opportunity to make a special card for my friend's, daughter, Olivia, for her 7th birthday. I also thought it would be a good opportunity to use the MFTWSC80 sketch that I missed out on and used it as a jumping off point. I ended up making a few changes and moving the sentiment but for the most part I think you can still see the sketch in there.

I inked up the super cute PI Being Cute is What I Do and used these gorgeous MME, The Sweetest Things - Honey 6x6 paper pad. I coloured the PI girl with my Copics and paper pieced her outfit. I coloured in some grass with my Prismacolor Pencils and cut the image out with my Rectangle STAX Die-namics and inked with Spun Sugar and Antique Linen Distress ink. I used my Small Simply Scallop Border Die-namics and layered it with a Simply Scallop Border too. I also cut pretty rolled roses from English Rose MFT Felt and leaves from Whisper Grey Felt. I stamped a sentiment from the PI Honey Bee stamp set on white card, cut it out with one of the Mini Tab dies from the, Mini Tab Foursome Die-namics.

 Here is the inside of my card. I stamped the PI Being Cute girl again and made a sentiment panel with the Polka Dot Greetings label and the ribbon die from the First Place Award Ribbon Die-namics and added a few more Fishtail Flags. I stamped a sentiment from the PI Being Cute stamp set and the Happy Birthday and XOXO are from the PI All Occasions Sentiment set.

Well, thanks SO much for stopping by and having a wee peek at the card that I made for the MFT celebration of World Cardmaking Day! I hope you can get some stamping or cardmaking time today and please join us over at the SCS forum too where the MFT Designers will be popping by to chat!

I just love this cute ALM girl and her cute outfit, with her stylish rolled up jeans, and she still looks fabulous even after trudging through the pumpkin patch. I paired her with an American Crafts 6x6 pad that I can't stopping using for my fall cards.  I cut the main panel with my Circle STAX Die-namics added a Fishtail Flags strip with the Fishtail Flags STAX Die-namics and the stamped one of the sentiments from this ALM set on pattern paper cut with ribbon die from the First Place Award Ribbon Die-namics. I wrapped the card with the gorgeous Hemp cord that you can find in the MFT shop and added a Jellybean Green Button.
