Hello!   You’ve reached the end of the My Favorite Things à la mode release hop!  If you’ve just popped in here, you’ve missed everything and should go back to the beginning with Kim.  If you’ve just come from Frances, then you’re right on track.  🙂

Tonight brings the release of MFT’s newest (and one of the cutest) lines…The à la modes!  You’ve seen the previews of the two sets in the last two days and they’re now available right HERE.

I’ve used Picture Perfect à la mode.  She’s stamped onto an MFT Cream Perfect Paper Panel and colored with Copic markers.  Her dress and boots are paper-pieced and I’ve popped up her camera for added dimension.

Along the side I’ve used MFT’s Open Scallop Die-namics border die (my favorite of the newest die releases).  I  wrapped cream jute string along the die-cut and created a little tag of sorts for the sentiment.  I say “of sorts” because I didn’t really attach it to the string.  It’s tucked beneath the bow and adhered to the image panel.

On the inside, I used another of the sentiments that comes along with the set.

That’s it for our hop!  Now it’s time to SHOP!  🙂

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

Stamps:  MFT “Picture Perfect” à la mode  Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black  Cardstock: Stampin’ Up Ruby Red, MFT Cream Perfect Paper Panel  Patterned Paper: Cosmo Cricket Material Girl 6×6 Mini Deck  Accessories: Copic markers (E000, E00, R02, R05,  E31, E33, Y21, YR23, W1, W3, B0000), Prismacolor Pencils, cream jute string, MFT Open Scallop Die-namics border die, brads, dimensional boosters.  Finished size 4 ¼” x 5 ½”.

Hello again!  The My Favorite Things design team is back today with teasers using the second of two new sets releasing tonight at 10 p.m. EST. 

Have a Sweet Day

Today’s samples feature Birthday Girl à la mode.  The set comes with the cute image you see here plus four sentiments.  

Just as a reminder, the à la modes are only available in deeply etched, scroll cut, ready to use, made in the USA rubber. 

Each set comes in it’s own little storage bag and will sell for $10.95 (for the 3″ x 4″ set).

I didn’t do anything new or super-exciting here (other than use the super-cute new stamp set, of course).  I colored with Copics, added a bit of ground with my Prisma pencils and added a few tiny brown pearls over the girl’s necklace.  ETA:  I forgot to mention that I sponged a bit of VersaMagic Wheat ink around the edges.  (oops!) 🙂

On the inside of my card, I rearranged two of the sentiments to create “Sweet Girl.”

The papers were all already cut (scraps) from the pieces used on the front of my card.

I really do love these gals and can’t wait to see what’s in store for them (or us) next month!

I’ll be back tonight for MFT’s à la mode Hop & Shop which begins at 10 p.m. EST right HERE.  Thanks for stopping by!  Have a great day!
