MFT Guest DT Challenge for May

Well, it's that time again to be a dreamer... it's the Guest DT Challenge over at MFT Stamps! The lucky winner... YUP!!! Get's to be FAMOUS for a month!!! LOL

The challenge put on by Julie and Sherrie is to use Material or Felt on your project. SO... diggin in my stash o stuffs I found these SUPER old Making Memories Pockets. They came with several different styles and I picked GINGHAM... I LOOOOOVE Gingham!!! Kate sent me some more of her stores AWESOME DP and so I had to use it for my Picnic WTG!!!! I did have to use a bit of Tim Holtz distress ink to make the DP match the pocket as the DP was a bright white gingham. I also added a bit o pizzazz to my pocket by taking some MFT Lovin from the Oven Ribbon/Lace and then carefully threading some black twine in and out of the holes of the lace and mounting it on to the pocket!!!

I mounted some of the DP onto Black CS for my card base then took strips of another DP and mounted that onto black CS, used Jody's boosters and some baby braddies from MFT. I stamped and Paper Pieced WTG and used the base DP for her Sun Dress... I figured there aint NO such thing as a picinica without out Ants, eh boo boo? SO I stamped the ants included in the WTG set around the top and bottom of the card and across her sunny lil picinic blanket. Stamped the basket, bread, wine and double grapes. The pocket is holding a Gift Card to Subway (that's the local wahoo sandwich place in my neck o the woods) and your card is an instant Gift! ;)

Thanks for looking and Have an AWESOME DAY!!!! Fingers crossed huh? :)

I GOT INVITED TO PLAY!!!!!!!

OH WHAT FUN!!!! I Tell ya, playing with NEW STUFF from MFT is the BEST ever and when it's a Surprise Invite to play along, well... MORE FUN than a Barrel of Monkeys I tell ya!!!!

This is the NEWEST of the Beloved Flopsey... I have named him Flopsey with an Umbrella, So catchy dontcha think???? OK...

I went shopping in a new site and picked up these YUMMY Ribbons, VELVET Paper, the paper piercing design maker thingie...and of course my New Tim Holtz Die "Tattered Flowers".

I first covered a piece of PTI White Paper with Beacon's 3-in-1 Glue and then dumped some White Fun Flock on it and smashed it down tapped it off then rubbed my finger across it to get the extra clunks off, THEN I stamped the image ON TOP OF the Fun Flock... This FANTABULOUS hint came from KerryJ who was last months Guest DT for MFT... she's pretty darn smart huh? ;)

I stamped the umbrella on pink paper ran it through the Cuttlebug and paper pieced it, stamped his boots on pink paper and pieced them as well. I used some Chunky Glitzy Glitter for the puddle.

Three Glitter Garnishments up in the top right corner Two MFT Buttons, one of which I colored with my Copic Gray3 marker, some black twine stuff to "dress" the buttons. Two strips of a pink and white ribbon topped with this flowery ribbon. Then of course the PERFECT Sentiment... "Remember, it's the rain that makes the flowers grow..." was stamped on the bottom.

I hope you enjoy this card and make sure you go to Kim's Blog for the COMPLETE listing of the DT'ers that are showing off Flopsey... 1,2,3 NOSE GOES!!!! :)

WSC K.I.S.S. ~~ Sweet Love~KJ

This week at the MFT WSC (weekly Stamp Challenge) is Keep it Simple Stamping (KISS)!!!! Although I tend to make "simple" cards compared to others when I'm supposed to make them "Simple" it really boggs me down, however this one I think turned out CA-UTE! Of course how could it not when I'm using one of the Pure Innocence girls... "Make Mine a Double" is the name of this cutie!!!

My Minds Eye-Penny Lane is the DP paired with some MFT Ribbon, some of Jody's Boosters and this card is DONE! :)

YAY!!!! Come on over and join us and feel free to shop, links are included (except the DP it's old! LOL)

Vintage Card

Here is my attempt at a Vintage Card. I joined a swap at SCS and the theme is Vintage. This stamp immediately popped into my head, it's a stamp I bought from my FABBY GABBY .... Impression Obsession L4299 Lottie Collage is the name of the stamp. I stamped it on Pure Silk Watercolor Paper sold by MFT. This is the 2nd time I've used this paper and LORDY ME!!! IT ROCKS!!!! Seriously, deep vibrant colors and pools up and lets you push it around... LOVE IT!!!! I then took out my ANTIQUE shaped scissors, you know the ones that your family bought you for Christmas, come in a spiny holder? Yea, those, used the deckle edged ones and trimmed up the edges. I brought out my Trusty T!m Holtz inks in Tea Dye, Vintage Photo and Fired Brick. I used a TH Fragment and a stamp from Anna Griffin that I rescued from my garbage pile as it looks TH-ish, stamped in Archival ink, used glossy accents and secured it to a piece of TH Paper. I then dug in my stash-o-ribbon and grabbed this YUMMY ribbon from MFT from the Kitchen Collection. Some unk DP, some brass brads from M's. Then I needed a flower. Well, you may or may not know my FIL lives with us and he LOVES his books, so I asked him for one of his books to make my own flower. I ran some pages through the Big Shot Express (no handle-love it) with the TH Tattered Flowers die, followed up with the same Distress Inks, then covered the flowers with TH Rock Candy Distress Stickles, smearing it around with my finger. Took my heat gun to it (just read it Distress Stickles CAN be heat dried). Added a TH Mini Brad to the center and mounted it ALL onto MFT Hot Fudge and SU! Riding Hood Red CS.

PHEW... THREE HOURS and I have this card done and 5 more to assemble....

I hope you like this card, I personally LOVE it, and am NOT knowing what I am going to do for my OTHER set for the swap! LOL

Maybe Christmas..... ??????

Have an AWESOME DAY!!!!!
