I have three cards to share tonight, all using Pure Innocence I Woof You along with coordinating Die-namics.

On my first card, I also used  new Window Die-namics and Small Brick Background.

The bricks were stamped in Versamark and white embossed with Brick Red ink sponged over. The girl and dog were stamped onto X-Press It Blending Card and colored with Copic markers, and Tiny Hearts Background is peeking through the window.

Inside, I added a small die-cut heart (from Blueprints 11) over a bone stamped from You Make My Tail Wag.

My next card uses PI Woof You along with new Paw Print Background.  The sentiment is from You Make My Tail Wag.

The paw prints were stamped onto new Blue Breeze card stock using Blue Breeze ink then the panel was cut using Blueprints 23.

Inside, I added an extra strip of paw prints, the cute puppy and stamped a sentiment from Totally Happy.

Lastly, I created a card using PI Woof You, Pet Accents Die-namics and Inside & Outside Stitched Rounded Square STAX.

The puppy was stamped and die-cut from X-Press It Blending Card, with the heart and base cut from Steel Grey card stock (although it looks black here, it is not).  The puppy prints were cut from Grout Gray card stock.

I added another heart/paw print inside with a sentiment from Woof You.

Thank You for Rescuing Me (bricks) card

I have one last preview to share before MFT‘s March New Product Launch tonight at 10 p.m. EST.  Today I’ve used Pet Accents Die-namics (♥), Inside & Outside Stitched Rounded Square STAX and a sentiment from I Knead You.

I sprayed Steel Shimmer Mix-Ables onto the black strip before adhering.  I LOVE the shimmer on black card stock.  So difficult to capture on camera, but believe me, it is soooo shimmery and pretty. Beside the paw, I adhered a tiny Swarovski crystal.

I performed a bit of stamp surgery on the sentiment so that I could easily place half on the front and half inside.

Thanks so much for stopping by!  I’ll be back tonight at 10 p.m. EST for the New Product Launch!

Hi everyone!  I’m back today with another sample of MFT’s March 3rd release. Today I’ve used super cute Stay Tuned stamp set with Television Die-namics.  

How fun is Television Die-namics? 🙂  The heart was cut from Blueprints Tag Builder 3 and the Pinstripe Background  was stamped onto an Inside & Outside Stitched Rounded Square using new Tickled Pink ink.

Inside, I added a second heart and another sentiment from Stay Tuned.

Hi everyone!  Welcome to another day of MFT March previews!  Only three more days until the release!  Today I’ve used super cute new Pure Innocence Feline Better stamp set and Die-namics,  Paw Print Background and Blueprints 23.

I used new Tickled Pink dye ink to stamp the background, and the scalloped border was cut from Tickled Pink card stock.  The girl and kitty were cut from X-Press It Blending Card and  colored with Copic markers with the kitty raised on clear foam squares.

I stamped a sentiment inside (from PI Sending Big Hugs) with a small paw print to each side (paw print from You Make My Tail Wag).

Hi everyone!  Welcome back to a second day of March 3 release previews with My Favorite Things!  Today I’ve used one of two new sets by Birdie Brown, I Knead You along with coordinating Die-namics.

I cut new Blue Breeze card stock using Blueprints 23, and stamped the fish bones using new After Midnight dye ink.  A stamp press made lining and spacing the image super easy.

The kitty was die-cut from X-Press It Blending Card, stamped in Black Licorice hybrid ink and colored with Copic markers.

I poked a small hole beneath each paw, inserted string and wound a small ball at the bottom, attached by a big smooshed glue dot.  Hearts were cut using Blueprints 11 and covered with Glossy Accents.

Inside, I added an extra strip of fish bones, stamped a sentiment in Black Licorice and Red Hot ink and added a cute little mouse toy  in the corner.

Hi everyone!  Welcome to the first day of previews of MFT‘s March 3 release!

I have two samples to share today, both using Lisa Johnson’s new Circle Scribble Flowers.  The sentiment is from another new set, Totally Happy.

On my first card, I stamped the flowers using Sweet Tooth pigment ink then white embossed and colored with Copic markers.  The zig-zags were stamped in new Cranberry Cocktail dye ink using Hearts & Stitches stamp set.

Inside, I stamped and embossed a sentiment and flowers from Whimsical Wishes which coordinates perfectly with this new set.

My second card uses the middle sized bloom, with flowers stamped in Ripe Raspberry and leaves in new Field Day dye inks.

After stamping, I colored over the blooms with a clear Wink of Stella brush to add a bit of sparkle and added an embossed sentiment from Totally Happy stamp set.

Inside, I stamped a second sentiment from Totally Happy and added a few more flowers in the corner.

Couldn’t Be Happier card

Hi everyone!  I’m back today with a sample using this week’s sketch challenge with My Favorite Things.

Today I’ve used Pure Innocence Birthday Girl along with Fishtail Flags and Fishtail Flags Layers.

The birthday girl was stamped onto X-Press It Blending Card and colored with Copic markers. I used Washi Patterns to stamp a few patterns on the flags.

Inside I stamped a second sentiment from the set and a silhouette in Cherry Crisp ink.

You can find all details regarding the sketch challenge HERE on the Challenge and Inspiration blog.

Hi everyone! Today the MFT design team begins a new monthly challenge – Ingenious Inking. This month we are showing how our line of MIX-ables can be used to alter our Premium Dye Inks, Pigment Inks and Hybrid Inks to create new looks and applications. “MIX-ables make it easy to add sparkle, shine, and glitz to projects – subtle or bold –it truly is a bit of crafting magic.”

On my first card, I used Sheer Shimmer Mix-ables over a sponged Herringbone Bricks stenciled background.

Using a blending tool, I applied Lemon Drop, Razzleberry and Pink Lemonade dye inks to a Sweet Tooth card base. I spritzed on Sheer Shimmer Mix-ables and allowed to dry.

The first line of the sentiment, from Watt’s Up?, was stamped in Black Licorice dye ink then clear embossed.  SHINE was die-cut from Black Licorice card stock using Bright Lights Alphabet.

Inside, I used a leftover strip of the sponged/spritzed background and stamped a sentiment from Watt’s Up?.

Next, I sponged In the Buff, Coral Crush, Persimmon and Cherry Crisp dye inks onto Sweet Tooth card stock, then heavily sprayed with Sheer Shimmer Mix-ables.

Peaceful Wildflowers and a sentiment from Cheerful Blessings were both stamped in black and clear embossed.

I love the bit of sparkle and shine the Sheer Shimmer leaves behind.

Inside, I stamped a couple flowers using Persimmon dye ink and stamped a sentiment from Words of Inspiration.

Be sure to check out the MFT blog for direct links to all participating DT sharing more ways to use Mix-ables with MFT inks.
