Welcome to day THREE of MFT Teasers!  Today, the gang is featuring Complimentary Greetings and Clearly Sentimental about Art.

I've made a card using Complimentary Greetings, which is the Triple Scoop set for June.


The Triple Scoop reward is a full-sized stamp set offered to you absolutely FREE with a qualifying purchase of $60 or greater (before shipping and tax).  The set changes with each monthly release, and is not yet available for individual purchase, so there is always a good reason to spoil yourself with MFT!
  • Simply add the Triple Scoop product to your cart using the add to cart button, and it will be shipped with your order.
  • The Triple Set set can be combined with our Cherry on Top promotion as well for even greater savings!
  • PLEASE NOTE: We are not able to add Triple Scoop sets to your order once it is placed.  You will not receive it unless it is added to your cart.


I started by stamping the greeting in Brilliance Graphite Black on some Follow Your Heart Be Happy 6x6 paper from My Mind's Eye.  I used a Circle STAX 2 Die-namics to cut out the sentiment circle and then cut out another circle in Black Licorice Cardstock with a Circle STAX 1 Die-namics.  I created my own background using the new Hexagons Die-namics - I cut the background hexagons in Black Licorice cardstock and then the smaller hexagons in various scraps of the Be Happy papers and randomly attached them over the black.  I really like how it looks and I can't wait to try different things with these layering Hexagons Die-namics!   I used the Mini Rolled Roses Die-namics dies to create the layered roses and I added a few black pearls for a little punch.  The layout is Jen Shults' DS54.


On the inside of the card, I created my own layered label using the new Designer Labels 2 STAX Die-namics along with a Circle STAX 2 Die-namics and then I stamped the greeting on one of the First Place Award Ribbon Die-namics
