Tonight I have four cards to share using two of our  TOTALLY adorable sets from the new Doodle Garden collection.

My first two cards use Far Out.

I absolutely ♥ her.  🙂

I stamped her onto X-Press It Blending Card, colored with Copics and added ground with colored pencils.  I dotted a few freckles onto her cheeks using a Copic 0.1 Wine Multi-liner.

I die-cut a Peace Sign from Black Licorice cardstock, dyed white string with a Copic and “hung” the sign from a tiny brad.  The sentiment was stamped using new Black Licorice ink and tucked beneath the image panel.

On the inside, I stamped another sentiment from the set (in MFT Black Licorice) and used scraps of the patterned paper.

On my second card, I used Far Out along with new Heart STAX.

Again, I colored with Copics, then cut her out and adhered her over hearts die-cut from patterned paper and Razzle Berry cardstock.

I used Black Licorice ink to stamp the sentiment along the lined paper and added tiny AMuse heart twinkle stickers around the border.

On the inside, I stamped a second sentiment (in Black Licorice) and a silhouette of the girl in new Sno Cone ink.

Next, I switched to I’m Raptor Round Your Finger.  Again… ♥  ♥  ♥.  🙂

Tucked beneath the image panel, I used a strip of Layered Heart Border die-cut from Jellybean Green cardstock.

I used Copics once again, but this time after laying down my base color, I added dots to create texture and shadows.

My sentiment was stamped using MFT Black Licorice ink.  LOVE the extra little bit of boldness.

On the inside, I stamped a silhouette of the little dino using Jellybean Green ink.

On my last card, I used I’m Raptor Round Your Finger again, switching this time to browns.

I used more dots and added a strip of Layered Heart Border, cut from Hot Fudge cardstock, along the left edge of the image panel.

After stamping my sentiment in Black Licorice ink, I matted it onto Hot Fudge cardstock and inserted the ends into a Layered Heart Border strip.

On the inside, I stamped an additional sentiment and adhered a few of the leftover hearts from the Layered Heart Border strip.

MFT Die-namics Focus/Pre-Release Pep Rally

Now that we’ve teased and tempted you all week long, it’s almost time for you to shop for your favorite Brand Spankin’ New products from MFT.   (If you’d like, head on over to the MFT Blog to print out a shopping list for tonight.  It might be helpful.)  😉

It’s time for our Die-namics Feature and Pre-Release Pep Rally!
Our Design Team has been busy creating jaw-dropping and inspiring projects for you, and we’ve saved the best for last. We’ve taken an in-depth look at this month’s Die-namics, while re-visiting the amazing sets being released tonight at 10 PM EST RIGHT HERE in the MFT Boutique.

I created three sets of coupons/cards to give my husband, son and daughter.

On my husband’s card, I used a base of Kraft cardstock with Wild Cherry accents, new stamp sets Coupon Book – Love, Document It – Off the Chart and Journal It – For the Record.

The Die-namics used include Ticket Book, Boy Meets Girl, Heart STAX, Keys & Locks, Layered Heart Border (small heart inside the card), Fishtail Flags and Fishtail Flag Layers.

Simple finish to the inside (above).

Here’s a close-up of the coupon book.  (I like the little people.)   I used Wild Cherry and new Kraft inks.

Here are the coupons inside.  I used a straight edge and red marker to draw the lines.  On a couple, I simply “filled in the blanks.”

This is the one I made for my son.  I used new Heart STAX and Sentiment Strips for the card.

Card inside (above).  Stamped in Jellybean Green ink and Memento Tangelo with Jellybean Green and Whip Cream cardstocks.

This set is for my daughter.  I had to keep the two sets virtually identical as my kids are ultra competitive.  (Sometimes annoyingly so.)

I used Sno Cone and Sweet Tooth cardstocks with Razzle Berry and new Sno Cone inks.

Here’s the inside of her card using Hearts and Stitches stamp set for the border stamped in Razzle Berry ink.

Here are their coupons.  Same values, different colors.  😉
