My Favorite Things Stamps...Let's Give Thanks!


Happy Thanksgiving stampin' friends! I hope all my fellow Canadian crafty friends are enjoying the Thanksgiving long weekend. We had our delicious turkey dinner yesterday at my Mom and Dad's house...yum!

Well, for some strange reason, I haven't had much desire to get crafty lately, but thankfully, that seems to be turning around and I WANTED to do some stamping and colouring this weekend...glad to be back at it! I decided to ink up a new My Favorite Things stamp and as always put my MFT Die-namics to good use. I used this sweet Pure Innocence Cornucopia girl for my card...she's such a sweetie!

I made my card 6X6 from Kraft cardstock and used the pretty Authentique Natural 6X6 paper pad. I used MFT Replenishments Heavyweight Card Stock in Fuse Green, Steel Grey, Steel Blue and Primitive Cream. 

I coloured the Pure Innocence Cornucopia girl with my Copics and paper pieced her outfit, then I cut her out and popped her up on the Dainty Doily panel. I used the Dainty Doily Die-namics, the Circle STAX and the Piereced Circle STAX Die-namics. I also used the Mini Album Fancy Ticket STAX Die-namics, NEW Blueprints 8 and Blueprints 2. I cut the Fishtail Flags out of Primitive Cream Heavyweight Cardstock and stamped the plaid pattern from the NEW More Washi Patterns Stamp set with Fuse Green Premium Dye Ink.

I stamped part of a sentiments from the set to fit the tag from Blueprints 2 and cut it from Primitive Cream Heavyweight Card Stock with MFT Steel Grey Premium Dye Ink. I added a Fuse Green Button and tied it with Hemp cord.

Here is the inside...I stamped a shadow image of the PI Cornucopia girl in Blu Raspberry Premium Dye Ink and the other sentiment from the same stamp set in Steel Grey Premium Dye Ink I added another Fishtail Flag that was stamped with the plaid pattern from NEW More Washi Patterns Stamp set in Fuse Green Premium Dye ink and added a pretty Fuse Green Button tied with Hemp Cord.

I made my card 6x6 from Kraft cardstock and pulled out these gorgeous Authentique Thrilling 6x6 papers...LOVE them. I decided to ink up one of my all time fave Pure Innocence girls...PI Little Witch! I matted with MFT Replenishments Heavyweight Card Stock in Tangy Orange, Orange Fizz, Black Licorice, Steel Grey and Primitive Cream.

I ordered a few things from the October release on Tuesday and I got my package today...LOVE MFT's super fast shipping. So I used the star Die-namics from the NEW Blueprints 8 and a larger star from Blueprints 4. I also used the LLD Insert It - 3x4 Notepad Die-namics.

I coloured the PI Little Witch with my Copics and paper pieced her witch costume, then cut the image with the fabulous Pierced Rectangle STAX Die-namics. I put the cut image back in the rectangle Die-namics and inked with Tea Dye and Pumice Stone Distrss ink and and grounded the image by adding in some fall grass with my Prismacolor Pencils. 

I stamped a sentiment from the MFT Pure Innocence Little Witch Stamp set on Primitive Cream Heavyweight Card Stock with MFT Steel Grey Premium Dye Ink.  I embellished with a few orange gems and tied some hemp cord through the small "button star" cut with the Die-namics from the NEW Blueprints 8.

I stamped the sentiment with Steel Grey Premium Dye Ink.

My Favorite Things Stamps...WSC # 142...I'm Thankful For...YOU


Hello stampin' friends! I was able to eke out a little time to do some stamping yesterday and I was SO thankful for the fabulous sketch that they have over at My Favorite Things Stamps to help me get started! I used the great MFTWSC142 sketch for this card and inked up the super cute NEW Pure Innocence It's a Sign Stamp set.

Here is the great sketch that I used for my card...love the Peek-a-Boo Dots!

 photo MFTWSC142PIsignB_edited-1RS2_zps274d1692.jpg

I made my card 6X6 from Kraft cardstock and used MFT Replenishments Heavyweight Card Stock in Olive, Night Shift Blue, and Sno Cone. I used Authentique - Loyal 6X6 paper pad...such pretty colours in this paper pad. I used several MFT Die-namics on this card too... my Pierced Circle STAX and Circle STAX Die-namics, the Peek-a-Boo Dots Die-namics, the Solid Bracket Border Die-namics and the Sentiments Strip 2 Die-namics. To embellish, I wrapped some Hemp cord around the card and added a Factory Green Button and added a little light blue bling here in there in the Peek-a-Boo Dots Die-namics panel.

I coloured up this sweet Pure Innocence girl, It's a Sign, with my Copics and paper pieced her out-fit and the sign too...I used a little scrap of black pattern paper from another Authentique paper pad in my stash to make a little chalkboard sign. I then stamped one of the many cute sentiments from the PI It's a Sign set, with MFT Sweet Tooth Pigment Ink pad. I cut the PI It's a Sign girl out and popped her up on the Pierced Circle panel. I used the Sentiment strips Die-namics, cut from MFT Primitive White Heavyweight Card Stock and stamped one of the other sentiments from the PI It's a Sign stamp set with Steel Grey Premium Dye Ink.

Here is the inside...I stamped a shadow image of PI It's a Sign girl on MFT Primitive White Heavyweight Card Stock and used another sentiment from the PI It's a Sign Stamp set. I stamped the sentiment in the sign with MFT Premium Dye Ink in Brick Red and Olive. I made a sentiment panel with the Pierced Circle STAX, Layered Label and the First Place Award Ribbon Die-namics. I stamped a sentiment from the NEW Pure Innocence Cornucopia on Primitive White Heavyweight Card Stock.

Well, I'm SO thankful YOU could stop by and have a wee peek at the card that I made with the MFTWSC142 sketch featuring the super sweet MFT PI It's a Sign Stamp set and Peek-a-Boo Dots Die-namics.
