Let’s Go A-Hoppin’ with My Favorite Things

Hi everyone!  Welcome to this month’s new release hop with My Favorite Things!  If you’ve just popped in here, you might want to go back to the beginning with Kim.  Follow the trail to the end for your very own “treat.” 🙂

Tomorrow brings four fun new releases from MFT.  Puppy Chow and Purrfect Treat ($9 each) are two new label sets that work perfectly with MFT’s 16 oz. square jarsPuttin’ on the Glitz ($17.95)…well, it’s just sweet!  (I’ll have a sample of that one to share tomorrow.)  Also available this month is WTG Catch Some Rays ($15.95).

Tail Waggin’ Treats for a Tail Waggin’ Pup

On the left is a 4 1/4″ square card, the center is a treat box made from an A2 card box and on the right is a jar of “puppy chow.”  I do not have a dog so I used beef jerky in the box and coffee flavored chocolate Jelly Belly candies in the jar.  (I’m the puppy.)  🙂 

For a closer look at each piece, you can click on these thumbnails.  (The containers were full.  Rolling Eyes)

And here’s A Purrfect Treat.

I covered a gift card tin with patterned paper, using a row of mice from the label to create a printed paper ribbon.  The cat is cut out and popped up.  Here’s the inside:

I try to keep a small assortment of (empty) gift cards on hand for display purposes such as this.  However, I have no pets (other than three fish which don’t really count) and so I have no pet themed gift cards.  Yes, I could have popped into Pet Smart to pick up a gift card, but then I ran the risk of my children seeing some type of creature they just had to have and I decided it wasn’t worth the drama.  I used a Starbucks gift card rather than show an empty tin.  (Moms of young children, you understand, right?)

MFT’s new product release this month is a Polka Dot Ribbon Nest in perfect-for-summer colors.  (5/8” grosgrain, swiss dot ribbon in bright pink, red, navy, emerald green and yellow), five yards each of the five different ribbons for a total of 25 yards,  $11.95.
