Wednesday Stamp Club #154 - Friend

I'm squealin' in on one tire here with a sweet little card for the current MFT Wednesday Stamp Club Sketch #154, and I'll be back before you know it with Sketch #155! It's all about averages, right?!

My card uses an absolutely adorable new set called Best Friends. I could not love this set more.

Elements of Blueprints 8 along with the new Typewriter Text Background in Pink Lemonade, Steel Blue and vellum provide a sweet and simple backdrop for our little Best Friends girl in her fluffy pink dress.

Minimal stamping on the inside with a sentiment and sweet doggy from Best Friends in Pink Lemonade and Steel Grey inks. Lots of space for a personal message.

Thanks for stopping by for a peek. I hope you're enjoying all of the hustle and bustle of the holidays, and if you're not, tell yourself to stop and smell the snowflakes! As always, visit the MFT Blog for all of the up to date goings-on at My Favorite Things.

MFT Release Rewind - Perpetual Calendar

Welcome to the MFT Release Rewind, a chance to get to know a few more of the newly released products up close and personal! The MFT Blog has a complete list of designers playing along with today's Release Rewind, so be sure to check out that list!

Speaking of lists, I've used LLD Accent It - Months of the Year Die-namics to make a perpetual calendar - you know, the kind you can use to keep track of birthdays, anniversaries and what not. I'll admit it - I can use all the reminders I can get when it comes to birthdays and anniversaries!

January + Snowflake Splendor

My project is super duper simple and actually quite fun to make because it involves digging into your new and old stamps to find the perfect combination for each month. I started out with a 3.75 x 10.5 inch Kraft calendar panel that I created in MS Word, adjusting for the number of days per month. I then added the month using  Die-namics Accent It - Months of the Year in Black Licorice card stock and coordinating stamps in Steel Blue ink.

February + Homespun Hearts

March + Masculine Graphic Tee

April + Front Porch - Spring

May + Damask Designs

June + Blissful Butterflies

July + Lollipop Additions - Birthday

August + Life's Direction

September + Grand Peaceful Wildflowers

October + Primitive Pumpkins

November + Fall Foliage

December + Holiday Traditions

Sweet and simple, right?! If you have any questions, please leave it in the comment section and I'll respond as quickly as I can. Thanks for stopping by for my MFT Release Rewind with Die-namics Accent It - Months of the Year and a few other sets! I think this would be absolutely darling with some of the Pure Innocence images as well, or simply Damask Designs in different MFT Colors. Got your brain going, didn't I?!

MFT New Product Launch - Negative Dot Alphabet & Numbers Die-namics

Welcome to the New Product Launch with My Favorite Things! I'm sharing the ever so trendy Negative Dot Alphabet and Negative Dot Numbers Die-namics with you tonight, so sit back and enjoy!

First up is a home decor project that showcases the most important dates in my life - the birth dates of each family member and our wedding date. I love the sweet simplicity of this piece and the enormous importance it bears in my life. Jeepers, I'm getting verklempt just typing about it! Plus, it will help my hubby keep track of all those important dates, wink!

Die-cutting each of those dates may seem a bit daunting, but it was actually pretty quick and easy. I simply cut strips of Primitive White card stock in 8.5 x 2.5 strips and ran the Negative Dots Numbers Die-namics through my Big Shot repeatedly until I had enough numbers for each of the dates. The 2.5" width was wide enough for the numbers 1-10 but eliminated the bottom row of (+, =, #, $) which I didn't need.

After all of my numbers were die-cut, I adhered them to a background layer of Steel Blue card stock using a tiny paint brush to apply liquid glue to the back of each number. A bit tedious, but totally worth it! The Red Hot heart was die-cut from Blueprints 10 and the periods within each date is the 'dot' from the Typewriter Alphabet (I cut the question mark into two pieces). Just in case you're wondering - the Steel Blue layer measures 6x8 inches and is mounted on an 8x10 inch canvas.

My second project tonight is a card made with Negative Dot Alphabet, inspired by Scrabble tiles. This one will make the perfect Valentine for a son or husband!

I replaced the 'o' with the heart/circle from Blueprints 10, which just happens to be the same size as Negative Dot Alphabet and Numbers...great planning, MFT!

Inside is the perfect sentiment from this month's Free with $60 set, Celebrate Big, in Steel Grey ink.

Thank you for stopping in tonight for a closer look at Negative Dot Alphabet and Negative Dot Numbers! Be sure to stop at the MFT Blog for complete New Product Launch details...including how you can win some great prizes!
