MFT Wednesday Stamp Club

***Please scroll down or CLICK HERE to see my TSG sneak peek*** 


Good morning!  It's time for another fabulous MFT sketch for your mid-week pick-me-up.  We have a super fun sketch for you this week!


I made a card using Contempo Cage and Die-namics.

Pin It

This card came together pretty quickly since I used lots of Die-namics to piece it together.  I started with Miss Caroline Howdy Doody 6x6 papers from My Mind's Eye (I told you I had lots and lots of new papers to use, teehee!) and cut out the bird and the Open Scallop Edge Die-namics with some of the sheets in the pack.


I used some Puff Cloud White and Blue Skies felt for the Mini Rolled Roses Die-namics and Rolled Mum Die-namics.  I added some black pears to the centers and the bird.


I stamped one of the birds from the Contempo Cage set in Tangerine Chalk Ink and then added the tweets in Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

I hope you will play along with us this week!  Please stop by Kim's blog for a list of all the designers participating in today's WSC challenge - you will definitely find yourself inspired!

Here are the Die-namics I used today:

I made 2 cards using each of these fabulous little PI's - first up is Cowboy.

Pin It

I thought the On the Bright Side 1 6x6 papers from My Mind's Eye would be perfect for these sweet little images and I started by stamping him in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and then colored him with Copic markers.


I used the Country Charms Die-namics to cut out the hanging star, which I added to the black button with some Buttercream Twine and then stamped the sentiment on one of the First Place Award Ribbon Die-namics and tucked it underneath the button and twine.  The layout is Splitcoaststampers SC371.


The inside is stamped simply with another sentiment and image from the PI Cowboy set. 

Next is Pure Innocence Cowgirl! 

Pin It

I'm using the same paper pack for her and I stamped her with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored her with Copic markers as well.  The layout is SSSC112.


I used the Royal Rose Die-namics to make the flowers, which are some of the denim papers from this pack and then used the First Place Award Ribbon Die-namics for the sentiment and little banners peeking out from under the image. 




I sewed the same papers on the inside of the card and stamped the image once more with another sentiment.  Isn't she so cute?  I love these new PI's.


Be sure and stop by Kim's blog for all the details and a list of all the designers participating in today's VIP Tour!

Friendbots, Lovebots, Nursebots, and now Birthdaybots. Torcio has been hard at work to bring us another fabulous bot! Is this bot ever cute. What a fabulous way to send out birthday wishes to your little bot.

Birthdaybot is a 3x4 set that includes a total of 4 stamps and will sell for $7.00.






Pin It

I really love this 'bot' series and Birthdaybot is SO cute and perfect for all those boys in my life.  I started with Jen del Muro's February SFYTT, but things went a little askew in the process.  I turned the sketch on it's side and then only used one button.  The image is stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copic markers.  I cut him out and then popped him over some A Boy's Life papers from Echo Park.



We have all had a loss for words…but have you ever had a loss for ‚numbers?‛ Torico’s new illustrated set brings the numbers to the forefront. With two sets of numbers to color, paper piece, or be creative with ink Numbered days is the set for you to send those birthday and anniversary wishes.

Numbered Days is a 4x6 set that includes a total of 37 stamps and will sell for $15.00.




Pin It

I used the soon-to-be-released Numbered Days stamp set to stamp the inside of my card and again, colored it with Copic markers.  This stamp set is designed so you can design your image and sentiment any way you'd like and I love that.  You'll get lots of use out of this one!

Happy Birthday

Pin It

Good morning!  I ordered a bunch of new paper and it finally arrived, so I had to get to using it with this darling digi stamp, Puddle Jumper Lucy from By LORi Designs.  I colored her with Copic markers and paper pieced her dress with Follow Your Heart Be Happy 6x6 paper from My Mind's Eye.  The layout is SSSC151.


I used some white felt with the Rolled Mum Die-namics from My Favorite Things and added a clear rhinestone brad in the center.  Of course, lots of stitching and a sentiment flag as well.


Thanks so much for stopping by!  Enjoy your Monday -
