I have a card for you tonight showcasing Ornament Banner Builder.



I started with a Smooth White Card Stock base and then cut out the Swiss Dots Die-namics die in Steel Grey Card Stock.  I cut out a 1/2” strip for the bottom 1/3 of the die cut and then popped it up over the card base with foam tape.  I stamped the sentiment in Electric Red Ink right in the center of the gap and then added the Ornament Banner Die-namics over the top of the dots.

Welcome to the fifth day of Teasers for My Favorite Things!  This week is full of inspiration for you AND we have some fun prizes for you too, so be sure to hop on over to the MFT Blog to see how you can win some MFT goodies!

All of these new products will be available for purchase on October 8th @ 10 PM Eastern.

Tonight I have a quick and easy card to show you using LJD Grand Holiday Greetings, another fabulous set that makes the sentiment the star!



My card base is Pink Lemonade Card Stock and I cut out the Jumbo Fishtail Banner STAX Die-namics in Smooth White Card Stock.  I stamped the sentiment 3 times, masking off the stamp as I went, in Berrylicious, Sour Apple, and Pink Lemonade Ink.  I stamped the 2 snowflakes from LJD Snowflake Splendor in Pink Lemonade and Sour Apple ink after cutting them out with the coordinating LJD Snowflake Splendor Die-namics.  And I needed another sparkly rhinestone on the centers, right?  The layout is Jen Shults' DS120.

I'm inking up a new set for me, Take Note.  I've had my eyes on this set for a while and I finally have it in my grubby little hands!  Ha!



I started with a 5x5 card base and mixed up some Cut & Paste "Adorbs" 6x6 paper from My Mind's Eye.  I stamped the envelope image on white card stock and then cut it out by hand.  I popped it up over the pink circle and added the arrow, which I cut out using the Arrow Die.  The layout is Viva la Verve's October Week 1 Sketch.

MFTeasers | Day 4


Welcome to day FOUR of Teasers for My Favorite Things!  This week is full of inspiration for you AND we have some fun prizes for you too, so be sure to hop on over to the MFT Blog to see how you can win some MFT goodies!

All of these new products will be available for purchase on October 8th @ 10 PM Eastern.

I have a couple of cards for you tonight and I'm starting my post off with this fantastic set, Happy Hanukkah.



I started with a Sweet Tooth Card Stock base and then cut out a Pierced Square STAX Die-namics in Nightshift Blue Card Stock.  I used one of the dies from Hannukah Light and Love Die-namics and then stamped the sentiment in Sweet Tooth Pigment Ink and embossed it with white embossing powder.  I stamped the little row of dots from LLD Holiday Subway Art in Nightshift Blue Ink.  The layout is Retro Sketches #82.






My next card features a new Laina Lamb Designs set, LLD Holiday Subway Art.



I started by stamping the new Sheet Music Background stamp in Berrylicious Ink on Berrylicious Card Stock and then used several of the sentiments and artwork to create this many-layered sentiment.   I added two Jumbo Fishtail Banner STAX Die-namics underneath.
