MFT Preview 1 — Happy Birthday to You!

It’s time to begin previews of My Favorite Things‘ August release!  We’re especially excited today as one of our preview sets is Lisa Johnson’s first release with MFT, Circus Spectacular! What makes it even more exciting is that it’s a stamp/Die-namics duo!  Sooo many possibilities!  Also previewing today is our newest Who’s That Girl set, WTG Get’s Down to Business.

Today I decided to play with Lisa’s Circus Spectacular set and dies.  I also used our new Ticket Strip Die-namics, Mini Pennants and Simply Scallops Medium Border.  Base is MFT’s Black Licorice heavyweight cardstock.

Here’s a close-up of the vintage circus tent with the birthday sentiment stamped inside.

I stamped two tickets, popping the top ticket on foam tape.

On the inside, I stamped a die-cut elephant and added a row of stars.

Here are the details about the upcoming release:
