May MFT New Release Hop

Posted on May 5, 2009 | 38 comments

Welcome to this month’s new release hop with My Favorite Things!  If you’re just popping in here, you may want to go back to the beginning with Kim.

My Favorite Things is releasing four new sets tomorrow (Wed., May 6th at 10 p.m.)…Girl’s Day In, Birthday Flopsey, Owls and Bluebells and Snuggle Bunnies.  

Friends of a Feather

   FOAF

Since my pencils were still out after making my Flopsey gift bag set, I decided to use them here on the owls (plus, I really need the practice). 

I’m Always Ear for You

   AWEFY

Aren’t they cute?  I love how they’re “holding ears!”  My bunnies were paper-pieced using MFT’s new Chocolate Kiss patterned paper.   I heated the ribbon (from the Chocolate Kiss ribbon bundle) just a bit so I could get the ribbon ends to lay the way I wanted them to.  Bunny tails are cut out and popped up and the button is from one of MFT’s new Cup o’ Button packs (see below).

Also being released tomorrow are the following:

–Chocolate Kiss 6×6 Printed Paper Packs (5 sheets each of 5 designs) $5.95
–Chocolate Kiss Ribbon Bundle (5 yards each of 5 ribbons) $11.95
–Chocolate Kiss Crystal Adornments (20-25 each of 4 crystals) $15.95

Additional product releases include:
Smooch Paint and Spring and Summer Cup ‘o Button Packs

Scour the site to find which floral set you would like, and mention it in the comments section. You can choose ANY MFT set that contains a FLOWER. How’s that for options?

Good Intentions Gone Wrong (really wrong)

Posted on May 5, 2009 | 32 comments

Please don’t ask me what was going through my mind when I made this.  I’m not even sure WHY I made this.  Well, I know WHY.  I wanted to use the crocheted flower (a new preorder item at Jacksonbelle Embellishments) and the paper, but I’m just not sure HOW exactly this came from ME.   Do you ever make something that just totally looks like it was made by someone else… and you have no clue who?  **shrugging** 

Please be kind… or just very politely back out.  I won’t know.  Better yet, tell me…if you make a card that is totally not you, maybe you still kind of like it, maybe you don’t, do you still bravely post it or do you toss it and run? 

Princess to Queen

    PTQ

Eek!

I wanted to make the cat kind of fancy, but I think I got carried away…and then it was too late.  I dropped my gel pen which bounced onto the patterned paper a couple times, leaving some dots I just couldn’t hide, so I then decided to add more to make it look like I did it on purpose.  I should have left it alone.  I don’t “hate” this card, but it’s just so “not me.” I cannot explain.  I wish I’d had time to make another.  (The crocheted flowers are really pretty!)

PTQCUI used one of the cats from Inkadinkado’s Patterned Pets set, adding lots of black 3-d gel pen and sparkle to the different parts of the cat.  The basic coloring was done with Copics.  The crown and sentiment are from Lizzie Anne Designs’ Once Upon a Time.

The crocheted flowers come in a package of eight, are about one-inch in diameter and hand-crafted by Melody Schwartz (a.k.a. Lacyquilter from Splitcoast Stampers).   They are GORGEOUS! 

Be sure to check out what Lindsey‘s design team has done with the flowers.  I’m sure their cards/projects are fabulous!

Beth, Heather, AJ, Kimberly, Michelle, Melissa, Jill, Maren, Kisa, Jennifer, Shannan, Taylor, and Lynda.

If you read this far after seeing my card, THANK YOU!   You are very kind.  🙂
