Five Days Until the New Release

Thank you for joining me as we count down to the next MFT release. We are five days away from the big day! All the new Stamps, Die-namics, and Stencils will be available on Tuesday, May 5 at 10:00pm EST. Be sure to check out the MFT Blog to see all the new items being revealed today. Don't forget to leave a comment on the MFT Blog countdown posts, YOU could win one of the five $75.00 gift vouchers.

I have two fun cards to share with you today, they both feature the new stamps and dies from Lisa Johnson. The first card features the Terrific Ties stamp set and co-ordinating Die-namics. Aren't the different patterns on the ties fabulous?


I stamped the ties in four colours After Midnight, Summer Splash, Lavender Fields, and Sour Apple. I then die-cut the ties with the Terrific Ties Die-namics. The dies were placed on a panel created with the Blueprints 23 Die-namics. The sentiment was stamped in After Midnight Premium Dye Ink.


On the inside of the card, I stamped another sentiment from Terrific Ties and I added one more striped tie.

My second cards features the Terrific Ties stamp set and Die-namics, along with the For the Boys stamp set. These sets work so well together. I stamped the ties in Summer Splash Premium Dye Ink on Smooth White card stock. I used the larger die to die-cut the ties, this die gives you that nice border around the stamped image. I love that you have the two different sized tie dies in this one set. I   love having options!


The ties and sentiments were placed on a Cross-Stitch Rectangle STAX Die-namics. I am so excited about these new STAX dies! The sentiments are from the For the Boys stamp set.


On the inside of the card, I stamped a sentiment from the For the Boys stamp set.

Ingenious Inking - Layered Ink

I have a couple of fun cards to share with you today, they both feature lots of layers of ink. One of my favourite techniques is to use multiple backgrounds on top of each other and our fabulous Hybrid Inks work incredibly well with this technique. 

I stamped a piece of Primitive Cream card stock with the Harlequin Background in Peach Bellini Hybrid Ink. I then stamped over top of it with the Romantic Script Background in Kraft Hybrid Ink. The flowers from the Grand Wildflowers stamp set were stamped in Hot Fudge Hybrid Ink


The sentiments are both from the Get Well Wishes stamp set.


For my second card I paired the Linen Background and the Garden Flourish Background.


The Linen pattern was stamped in Breeze Blue Hybrid Ink on Smooth White card stock. I then stamped over it with the Garden Flourish Background in Blueberry Hybrid Ink.

 The fabulous sentiments on this card are from the True Friends stamp set.
