MFT’s March Release Hop

Posted on March 3, 2010 | 56 comments

Welcome to the March release hop with My Favorite Things!  We have quite a few new releases this month, and I’d hate for you to miss something, so if you’ve just popped in here, you may want to go back to the beginning with KIM.  And remember, there is blog candy hidden somewhere along the way so be sure to leave comments to increase your chance to win!

I’m Lucky

I’ve used 4-Leaf Clover from the Pure Innocence line.  Of course, I think it’s totally adorable.  (Aren’t they all?) 

MFTILCUI paper-pieced the little girl’s outfit, shoes, four-leaf clover, and yes, the tiny heart barrette.  I sometimes have a hard time matching reds and even though the heart is small, I can be kind of funny about things like that so I decided it was just as easy to paper-piece that too.  Plus I wanted that little bit of ‘textured’ color.

Behind the clover, I placed just a tiny dot of glue in the center and bent up each of the four petals just a bit.        MFTILIN

You can find all of the new releases right now, right here, but first be sure to hop on over to see what CHRISTINA has to share.  I’m betting it’s fabulously fun!  🙂

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Have a great night/day!

Kraftin’ Kimmie’s Tea Party, Day 2

Posted on March 3, 2010 | 14 comments

Hi everyone!  I’m back today to share the second image from Kimmie’s Spring Tea Party kit.  Meet Giselle.

Care for a Spot of Tea?

  KKGSOT

Isn’t she fancy?  Once again, I really like the hair.  I don’t know what it is about Twisty hair, but I love it.  (Not that I want MINE like this, but on HER, it’s fabulous!)

KKGSOTCUI colored Giselle with Copics, then cut her out.  This is something I haven’t done much in the past, but I seem to be on a “cutting it out” kick lately.

After cutting the circle(s) with my Nesties, I adhered Giselle, allowing parts of the image to extend past the border.  To add a bit of dimension, I placed a small dimensional booster beneath her tea pot.

I cut several strips of the tiny pearls and adhered them around the edge of the circle, omitting the areas where Giselle extends past the border.

I placed the sentiment on the inside of the card, used the little teapot accessory stamp in the corner and added more tiny pearls on the doily/scalloped border.

The kit is available now (only from the Kraftin’ Kimmie store) HERE, for a limited time only.

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Have a great day!
