MFT Release Rewind

Welcome to MFT Release Rewind - Day 2! I hope to inspire you with more ideas for those goodies you've purchased and are patiently waiting to be delivered, or to help you finish up your shopping if you're still on the fence.  Direct links to all products used on my cards can be found at the throughout and at the bottom of this post for your shopping convenience.

I have two totally different card to share with you today featuring Witch Way Is the Candy and Eye Charts.

First up is that adorable witch and her crew from Witch Way Is the Candy.


I've stamped characters and sentiments on die-cut shapes from Blueprints 18 and collaged them on a Black Licorice card base that I spattered with MIX-ables Sheer Shimmer Mist (unscrew the pump from the bottle and tap the plastic tube to spatter the liquid). I was hoping the spatter would resemble a starry night sky.

Inside is a simple finish with another sentiment and cute green frog from Witch Way Is the Candy.


My second card is CAS masculine meets the current Wednesday Stamp Club Sketch of the week.  I omitted the 'my friend' portion of the Eye Charts stamp because I'm making this for my husband's birthday. I know, it's not very mushy, but I left plenty of space on the inside to gush!

Hubby turns the 4-0 tomorrow, and since he owns at least 40 plaid shirts, a Plaid Builder Background was a no-brainer!

Inside is a spectacular sentiment from Geek is Chic. Love how these stamp sets and Die-namics pair perfectly!

MFT New Product Launch - Blueprints 18

Welcome to the New Product Launch with My Favorite Things! All products from this release are NOW AVAILABLE for purchase at the MFT Store. Check out the click-n-shop links provided at the end of this post for your shopping convenience.

I have 3 cards to share with you tonight featuring Blueprints 18 combined with Geek is Chic stamps and Geek is Chic Glasses Die-namics, so let's take a look!

Hello, Kitty! While looking for inspiration, I came across a pair of Hello, Kitty glasses and knew I had to recreate them using the Geek is Chic Glasses.

I glitzed up the frames with a nice shiny coat of MIX-ables Sheer Sparkle Glitter Glaze, a Bubblegum felt bow from Blueprints 3 and Black Licorice whiskers.

Here you can see the Jumbo Polka Dot Stencil embossing on the Blueprints 18 angled layer. Tip: die cut your layer first and then emboss with your stencil to preserve the depth and texture of the embossed image.

It's a bird...it's a plane...it's Superman! Well, not really, but it was fun putting this card together, and the Blueprints Die-namics makes layering a breeze!

Blueprints 18 comes with stars in three sizes for lots of embellishing options. I've used the two smaller sizes here along with the smaller glasses and a sentiment from Geek is Chic (my card inspiration).

I've finished the inside of the card with stamps from Geek is Chic (yes, there are awesome glasses stamps!), selectively inking the sentiment to pop the word 'heart' in Red Hot ink.

I love that you can follow the Blueprints sketches to a 'T' or mix and match as you like. Lots of background stamping on this one - a sentiment from Geek is Chic and the new Writing Tablet Background stamp.

I had so much fun making these wood grain frames. I first die cut them from Chocolate Brown, then stamped the wood grain image from More Washi Patterns in Hot Fudge, and finally added a thick coat of glossy accents for a more authentic look. I love the glossy accents finish, but it does make it harder to see the wood grain pattern.

And a simple finish on the inside with a striped Fishtail Flag, Geek is Chic sentiment and more Blueprints 18 stars in Tangy Orange.

And there you have another look at Blueprints 18 NOW available at My Favorite Things! Direct shopping links are available below for all three cards.

MFT is giving away 2 - $100 vouchers for the MFT Boutique! Winners will be chosen at random from comments left at any of the MFT Design Team blogs between now and Thursday, August 14th around noon. Good luck!
