Welcome to the New Product Tour for the September release at
My Favorite Things! All of the newbies are now available for purchase under the
Brand New section at the
MFT Boutique. You'll find complete details about this release at the
MFT Blog along with a handy shopping list to keep track of your wishlist.
I'm sharing my love of
Blueprints 7 with you tonight. I think this one is my favorite because it is chock-full of hip and trendy elements - arrows, tabs, chevrons, banners! You can use them all together or separately as fun embellishments on other projects (think scrap booking, folks).
First up is PI
It's A Sign stamped in
Sweet Tooth pigment ink, brightened up with the
Blueprints 7 'hello' in a rainbow of colors. I die cut the 'hello' strip from
Smooth White card stock and then colored the individual letters using Copic markers. Following one of the four suggested sketches made this sweet and a snap to put together once I'd decided on the design elements! Well, I guess I strayed with the spiral edge that I cut into the edge of the smaller
Blueprints 7 square using my
Die-namics Notebook Paper. ;-)
Inside the card is a sentiment from
It's A Sign stamped partially in
Sweet Tooth and
Black Licorice inks. I customized the size of the speech bubble from
Blueprints 7 to fit the sentiment by recutting the end of the speech bubble opposite the triangular tab on the bottom right edge (clear as mud?).
Next is my favorite card of the night! Somehow I got the bright idea to add a
Cotton Candy card base after I'd assembled my central image layers, and I just LOVE it! Something fun and different for me. The polka dots are from this month's
Free with $60 set,
Large Scale Backgrounds, and I love how they look with my
Blu Raspberry (Red) Delicious apple! The alphabet border from
Head of the Class in
Black Licorice on
Kraft gives a little grounding to my non-traditional color scheme (wink).
The inside of the card reads like an old chalkboard, doesn't it?! Love the font of the sentiments from
Stylish Friends in contrast to the
Die-namics Numbers border.
And, finally, something a little outside my style zone using elements of
Blueprints 7 unscripted! I think my favorite parts are the
Steel Blue polka dotted arrow and the half circles on either side where the Hemp Cord is tied.
I stamped one of the girls from
Stylish Friends on
Kraft card stock in
Steel Blue ink and angled her in from the top right. To spice things up a bit, I used a Sakura Gelly Roll pen to add sparkly doodles around the edges and filling in spaces in the letters.
More
Large Scale Backgrounds polka dots in
Steel Blue on the inside as well as another sentiment from
Celebrate Life accented with
Blu Raspberry corners.
Thank you for stopping by tonight, and I hope I've given you a few more reasons to hop over to
My Favorite Things! If you haven't done so, stop over at the
MFT Blog as well, for all of the hip-happenings surrounding the September release.
