MFT Sept. Previews, Out On a Limb

Hi everyone, and welcome to the first day of September previews with My Favorite Things!  First though, I want to make sure you’re aware of the BIG sale going on in the NEW MFT Boutique!  Through tonight, save 25% off of everything!  Check it out!

Today I have two cards to share using Lisa Johnson’s Out On a Limb stamp set and coordinating Die-namics.

First I created a tree, tied with a yellow ribbon.  (It’s an ole oak tree.  Now that song can be stuck in your head too.)  😉  (I’m showing my age…)

Thinking-of-You-Bless-You-600

 The tree was cut from Kraft card stock with the leaves cut from Gumdrop Green.  A few of the leaves were cut a second time and popped up on clear foam squares (which I cut in half to fit the leaves).

The tiny leaves on each side of the sentiment are stamped in Gumdrop Green ink and the scalloped edge was cut using new Blueprints 19.

Inside, I added a sentiment from Words of Inspiration.

Next, I created a thank you card using Out on a Limb, Diamonds and Dots Border and the apple from new Birdie Brown Class Act.

Thank-You-Teacher-475

After die-cutting the apple from X-Press It Blending Card, I stamped with Black Licorice hybrid ink, colored with Copic markers, punched holes to create a button, then covered the apple with Glossy Accents.  Once dried, I tied onto the card using hemp cord.  (The tiny Wild Cherry apples are covered with Glossy Accents as well.)

Inside, I added a second strip of text dots and a sentiment from Sending Thanks.
