Welcome to the
MFT Release Countdown with
My Favorite Things! Rather than counting up teasers, MFT is switching things up and
counting down to the new release next Tuesday, November 12th at 10pm EST. Change is good. Please visit the
MFT Blog for complete
Release Countdown details, including how to
WIN cash to spend at
My Favorite Things!
I'm super excited to show you a super fun, customizable
Letter From Santa project featuring
Blueprints 9 and
LJD Vintage Frame Die-namics.
After die cutting the
Primitive White card front with the jumbo tag from
Blueprints 9, I stamped the lower half of it with the new
Woodgrain Background stamp in
Steel Blue ink and topped it with a
Red Hot Striped Backgrounds layer. You'll see the other half of that
Red Hot layer inside the card in just a bit. The official seal of approval is popped up on a
LJD Vintage Frame Die-namics in corrugated cardboard to round out the woodsy look of the deer and woodgrain stamps.
The official year '2013' is marked using
Little Numbers Die-namics in Fuse Green card stock accompanied by an official seal of approval from
LLD Document It - Holiday Traditions. I stamped the deer seal twice, once on
Kraft and another on
Fuse Green. The
Kraft version is layered on a pinked edge
Fuse Green seal which I die cut with the coordinating
LLD Holiday Traditions Elements Die-namics.
When George opens up his official
Letter from Santa, this is what he'll see first - Santa's letter tucked inside the other half of that
Red Hot Striped Backgrounds layer, die cut with the half circle element of
Blueprints 9, and topped off with stamps and Die-namics from
Document It - Holiday Traditions,
Accent It - Holiday Traditions Elements and
Little Numbers.
I typed out the Santa letter using Branboll (Santa) and Courier New fonts in MS Word, changing the page layout to 2 columns and modifying the column width to fit the dimensions of the
Die-namics Notepad. After printing it out, I stamped it with the official seal from
Holiday Traditions in
Steel Blue ink. Being a deer and Santa lover, I think George will flip when he receives his
very own, customized
Letter from Santa,
especially knowing he's made the 'nice list'!
Behind the letter is an official confirmation that he made the NICE list, so there's no doubting it!
LLD Document It - Holiday Traditions leaves nothing to chance, with an official NICE list stamp and coordinating
Accent It - Holiday Traditions Elements Die-namics to make everything look very official. I love those stripes so much I could marry 'em!
And there you have Day 7 of the official
Release Countdown with
My Favorite Things! Can't wait to see you tomorrow, but until then, stop over at the official
MFT Blog for complete release details.
