Welcome to day SEVEN of MFT Teasers!   Tonight I'm mixing the November Die-namics with a sentiment from à la modes Sparkling Season.



I started with some Home for Christmas 6x6 papers from Fancy Pants Designs and used the new Poinsettia Die-namics and Decorative Circle Tag STAX Die-namics as the feature of this card.   I layered the Circle Tag on a Circle STAX Set 1 Die-namics and then popped up the poinsettia with foam tape.  I added a little silver glitter to the edges of the flower and added a Paver Red Button on top of the circle tag.


 I used a Fishtail Flags STAX Die-namics for the Seasonal Sentiments stamp inside the card, which I stamped on Kraft Card Stock in the new Jellybean Green Ink.

Welcome to day FIVE of MFT Teasers!  Today, we're showing a little sneak of Pure Innocence Little Angel.



Isn't she just darling!?  I stamped her in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on both X-Press It Blending Card Stock and a sheet of Home For Christmas 6x6 paper from Fancy Pants Designs.  I colored her with Copics and then paper pieced the dress and wings on.  I popped her up over some Snow Drifts Die-namics made with Whip Cream Card Stock and added some stitching.  The button is from a new package of Paver Red Buttons and I added some Hemp Cord.

I used more Home For Christmas paper inside the card and added a sentiment on a Fishtail Flags Layers STAX Die-namics.

Sweet Sunday Sketch 170 Winner

Good morning!  I hope you are having a nice weekend so far.  It's been all kinds of snowy here and it's a perfect day for staying in my jammies, snuggling in a warm blanket, and watching football.  Then I need to stamp lots and lots for the week.  Haha! 

It's time to announce the next Guest Sweet Sunday Stamper from the SSSC170 entries.  Wow!  Every week the choice gets more and more difficult - you all rock!  Plain and simple.  Okay, so without any more blabbering.... here are 5 of my favorites:

 Carole starts us off this morning with this delightful Halloween card.  I LOVE the little Bingo card underneath the Jack-O-Lantern and the mix of papers is perfect!


 Wendy created this amazing card with a sepia look,which I adore!  Love the camera and the sentiments hanging down from the button.


Janeke is stamping with us all the way from Netherlands!  I love the soft colors in her card along with the round tag and snowflake accents.


 Jenny's fun card makes me smile!  I love the bright colors and pop of black with the accents.  Her coloring is out of this world!


And Lisa's masculine card brings it all together with her fantastic twine bow and star - Love the combo!  I love that little jersey die too.  

And the winner is.....

Carole!
 

Congrats, Carole!  I'll be contacting you shortly with the next sketch and your guest stamper badge.
Thanks again to everyone who played along this week.  Don't forget, there is still time to enter your card for SSSC171, which ends Friday night.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Welcome to day FIVE of MFT Teasers!  Today, we're showing a little sneak of à la modes You Shine and à la modes Sparkling Season.



I have a card for you using à la modes You Shine - isn't she the sweetest?  I love those giant twinkle lights.  I stamped her in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on X-Press It Blending Card Stock, and then colored her with Copic Markers.  I added some Glossy Accents to the lights for lots of shine and some dimension.  Loves me some Glossy Accents.  I cut out the red piece of Merry & Bright paper from Carta Bella with a Rectangle STAX Die-namics and then ran it through my Vagabond with an embossing folder.  I added lots of stitches and then added a piece of Pink Lemonade Ribbon.  The layout is Sweet Stop's SSS183.


I stamped a simple sentiment inside on a Fishtail Flags STAX Die-namics and kept lots of room for a personal note.

Welcome to day FOUR of MFT Teasers!  Today, we're showing a little sneak of Gift Card Greetings.



I started by cutting out some School Daze 6x6 paper with the Gift Card Pocket - Vertical Die-namics.  Once I made the pocket, I cut out more patterned paper with some Fishtail Flags Layers STAX Die-namics and stamped the sentiment on the yellow flag with the new Wild Cherry Ink, which I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!  I added some Simply Scallops Small Die-namics along the side of the card and then added lots of stitching.  Of course, I had to use a fun Wild Cherry Button and Hemp Cord to accent my card.  The layout is Jen Shults' DS77.

Here is a shot of the card with the gift card taken out of the Gift Card Pocket. 


Love the finished inside of the pocket - it's so nice and polished looking.

I also decorated the inside of my card with more School Daze paper and another sentiment from the set:


Again, I stamped it in Wild Cherry Ink - look at that coverage - GASP!  Seriously wonderful.
