Hits & Highlights

We have a fun new feature starting this month called Hits & Highlights. Each month we are going to highlight some of our favourite products. This month we are featuring out fabulous Shaker Pouches! We currently have Circle, Square, Rectangle, Balloon, Heart, and Star Shaker Pouches.

For my card today I used the Star Shaker Pouches and the Star Shaker Window & Frame Die-namics. It is just so quick and easy to put together a shaker card with these products.

I created a galaxy background with a few of my favourite Distress Inks. I used the Star Celebration Stencil and Sweet Tooth Ink to add the small stars.

I have two more cards to share with you today. For these cards I used the All Smiles stamp set and Double the Smiles Die-namics from the card kit.

I went for a bright and sunny look for my next card. I hope it brightens up the day of the recipient  I used the Radiating Rays Stencil and a few colors of ink to create the background. I used the same colors to ink up the smile sentiment.

All Smiles Card Kit

Are you ready for another amazing card kit? I hope so, as we have a fabulous one for you! The new All Smiles Card Kit will be available on Tuesday, July 25 at 9:00pm EDT. This kit is full of fabulous florals and sentiments that are sure to make you smile.

I have a couple of cards to share with you today. I used a slightly different color combination on each card. The colors all coordinate with the card stock colors in the kit. I stamped all the flowers and leaves on Smooth White card stock and I die-cut them with the Plentiful Petals Die-namics.

I used burlap for the background on each of the cards. I just love the texture that burlap gives to cards. I framed each card with the Single Stitch Line Rectangle Frame. The sentiments were double stacked so they would pop up on the card.

I have a couple of cards to share with you today, I loved using this kit so much that I acutally made seven cards with it. I sat down to stamp with it one afternoon and I just couldn't stop! I went for a fairly clean and simle look on both of these cards. 


The flowers and leaves were stamped in the colors that coordinate with the colors of card stock in the kit. Don't they look lovely together?


I finished off the cards with a sentiment from the All Smiles stamp set. I LOVE this set and the coordinating dies!

Ready? Set. Comment!   

I have five colourful cards to share with you today. They all feature the All About You stamp set, You Trio Die-namics, and the Split Chevron Cover-Up Die-namics

I started out wanting to create a card using some of the gorgeous new pastel pattterned papers. This month we released Proper Pinstripes Pastels and Itsy Bitsy Polka Dots Pastels. I paired these two packs with the previously released Tiny Hearts Pastels.


I picked four colours and then die-cut one sheet of each pattern in those four colours. I probably could have made another 5 cards with all the little pieces I had!

The sentiments were all stamped in Lavender Fields Hybrid Ink. The you sentiments were all die-cut in Lavender Fields card stock. Don't you just love having matching card stock and inks?


There are so many sentiment combinations you can come up with using the All About You stamp set and the You Trio Die-namics. It was hard to choose which ones to use.




Thank you so much for joining me all week. I hope we have inspired you to create something amazing! Be sure to check out the MFT Blog to see all the fantastic creations the design team has created to share with you. Don't forget to comment for your chance to win a gift voucher.

The new Celebrate Die-namics is one of my favourites from this release. I just love the look of the font and I know I am going to get a ton of use out of it. For this card I paired it with the fabulous Heart-Shaped Balloon Die-namics.


To create the rainbow effect, I sponged the various colours of Premium Dye ink on Smooth White card stock. I added adhesive sheets to the back of the card stock before I die-cut it. To keep the word celebrate straight, I used the negative as a gudie when adhering the letters.

 I created the background with the new Mini Cloud Edges Stencil. Yes, you heard me, we know have a mini version of the Cloud Stencil.


For my next card, I paired this little guy from Fierce Friends with the You Trio Die-namics and the All About You Stamp Set.

I filled the shaker with all sorts of fabulous sequins from Pretty Pink Posh.

Happy Birthday to You

Thank you for joining me as we count down to the MFT release. We are three days away from the big day!

Don't forget to leave a comment on the MFT Blog countdown posts, YOU could win one of the five $75.00 gift vouchers. 

We have two adorable Pure Innocence sets debuting this month. I used the Happy Birthay to You Stamp Set and Die-namics to create this card.  I stamped the image on a piece of X-Press It card stock with Black Licorice Hybrid Ink and I coloured her with Copics.



I die-cut a Fringed Scallop Border in X-Press It card stock and again coloured it with Copics. I decided to colour this piece instead of cutting it out of coloured card stock as the plain, bold colour didn't look right with the coloured image.
