Welcome to day FOUR of MFT Teasers!  Today, I'm showing a little sneak of Bookmark Duo Die-namics and Stamps.

I started with the layout from SSSC164, which I thought would be fun to use the Bookmark Duo Die-namics as the tag from the sketch.  I used quite a few of the new Die-namics on this card - the cute flower is the Layered Rose Die-namics, and I added a Black Licorice Button to the center.  I stamped the sentiment in Brilliance Graphite Black ink and added it to some Take Note 6x6 paper from Echo Park.  I tucked the Award Seal Die-namics underneath the corner of the Rectangle STAX Set 2 Die-namics and then layered some fun arrows from the Lead the Way Die-namics set.

I tucked the bookmark in behind the square layers.

I used more Take Note papers for the Bookmark Duo Die-namics and then stamped the sentiment and accents in Brilliance Graphite Black ink, and the disc in Memento Ladybug.

Be sure to hop on over to the MFT Blog for a complete list of designers playing along in today's Teaser.

Welcome to day THREE of MFT Teasers!  Today, I'm showing a little sneak of Clearly Sentimental about Grandparents, which is the Triple Scoop set for August.

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.

Grandparent's Day is coming up on September 9th in the US and its time to start making those special cards and projects to celebrate the people we love.

This set gave me the perfect excuse to get out my Love Me 6x6 papers from My Mind's Eye - I started by stamping the sentiment on patterned paper with Brilliance Graphite Black ink and cut it out with a Circle STAX Set 2 Die-namics.  I added some black nail head stickers along the seam of paper under the sentiment and then added the Medium Leafy Flourish Die-namics in Kraft Cardstock.  I embellished the sentiment circle with some Hearts a Plenty Die-namics die cuts and popped a cute Wild Cherry Button on one of the hearts as well.  The layout is MOJO252.

I stamped another sentiment from the set on the inside of the card and added more paper hearts.

I thought Moka Pearl would be a fantastic image for August.  Maybe it is because we've spent hours at the pool, or it may be related to the family watching Olympic swimming, but August is all about the water.  I stamped her in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and then colored her with Copic Markers.  I used the Moka Hair & Skin Coloring Chart, which is FREE, to pick a good red color combo for her hair. 

I also used the Cloud Duo Die and the sun from Garden Party Blooms Die Set 2 to create the sun and clouds in the corner.  I popped Pearl up with Foam Tape and then tucked the sheet into the Desktop Calendar Case.

Welcome to day TWO of MFT Teasers!  Today, I'm showing a little sneak of Mouse in the House: It's Your Birthday.

I started with a Square STAX Set 1 Die-namics base in white cardstock.  The image is stamped the image in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and then colored it with Copic markers.  It is actually two stamps - the mouse on the bench with the cake is one stamp and the bird with the card and balloon is the other.  Love these!  The little banner is one of my favorite STAX - the Fishtail Flags STAX Die-namics and I added a delicious Cotton Candy Button over the top. The layout here is Retro Sketches RS #22.

The scallop border is one of the new Triple Scallop Borders Die-namics, which is perfect for adding sparkly accents.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the set and added the Double Dot Border Die-namics to the bottom.

MFT Wednesday Stamp Club

Hello!  It's Wednesday and that means it's time for another fun sketch challenge from MFT!  Here's a look at the sketch:

I made a card using Girly Graphic Tee Die-namics and Stamps. 

I made a card for my daughter today.  She has been SO super helpful these past few weeks and I think she is just as ready for school to start up again as I am.  We've had some great walks together in the evenings and I love having the one on one time with her - we chat, she cracks jokes, we talk some more.  It's heaven.  Since she's not at all a girly-girl, I used some bright papers from my pack of Hello Summer from Echo Park.  NO pink needed.  I cut out the Girly Graphic Tee and then stamped the #1 Daughter in Brilliance Graphite Black Ink.  I popped it up over a Circle STAX 1 Die-namics and Circle STAX 2 Die-namics and then added the entire thing to the Open Scallop Doily.  I used one of the Fishtail Flags STAX Die-namics for the orange flag banners.  AND I realized after I edited my photo that I put the Pretty Posies Die-namics flower on the WRONG side of the circle.  Sigh...

I used the Hearts a Plenty Die-namics to create the blue heart and then stamped the sentiment from Say What and layered it over another Fishtail Flag Die-namics die cut.
