Love You So Much

We've got a fun sketch for you this week. I will admit that the three strips had me stumped at first, but I think I pulled it off in the end. I inked up this little cutie from the Joyful Heart Bears stamp set. I coloured the image with Pablos.

Sending Rainbows and Hearts

We've got another fabulous sketch for you this week. I replaced the circle from the sketch with a colourful heart. I used the Lots of Heart Stencil and some of my favorite Distress Inks along the side of the card. The sentiment is from the Rainbows & Unicorns stamp set, I can't seem to stop using it!

Heart Art Card Kit

I have a few more cards to share with you today that feature products from the new Heart Art Card Kit. This amazing kit will be available on Tuesday, January 22 at 10am EST.

I created a sweet shaker card with the Heart Trio Shaker Window Die-namics and the Heart Trio Shaker Pouches. To create the background colour for the hearts I used Abandoned Coral and Aged Mahogany Oxide Ink. I filled the shakers with some Sparkling Crystals and I finished off the card with a sentiment from the Sweet Nothings stamp set.

For my second card I inked up some Smooth White card stock with Abandoned Coral and Aged Mahogany Oxide ink. I then die-cut the card stock with the Double the Love Die-namics.  I paired the die-cut with a sentiment from the I Heart Celebrating stamp set. I finished off the card with some Clear Round Drops.

Heart Art Card Kit

Are you ready to fall in love with our new Heart Art Card Kit? This fabulous kit and the new Stacey Yacula stamp set will be available on Tuesday, January 22 at 10am EST.

I have a couple of cards to share with you today that feature the new Heart Art stamp set and the Mini Heart Shaker Window and Frame Die-namics. For my cards today, I didn't want to use the traditional Valentine's colours, so I stamped the hearts in a bright rainbow of colours. One of the sentiments from the Rainbows and Unicorns stamp set was the perfect sentiment for this card.

For my second card, I used the Gift Card Envelope Die-namics to create a small envelope that is overflowing with colorful love hearts. I finished off the card with a sentiment from the Tweethearts stamp set.

Serious Chemistry with MFT & MISTI

Do you remember the first time you tried the MISTI? Was it love at first sight for you? I must admit when I first heard about the MISTI I didn't really think it was something I needed. Ha! I now use this incredible tool on every card I make. Seriously, every single card! Today the MFT team is pairing up with the talented ladies at My Sweet Petunia to highlight the amazing chemistry between these two companies. Be sure to check out the MFT Blog there are some fabulous prizes up for grabs today!

I tend to plan the layout of my stamped images on the MISTI. I like to use the grid lines on the MISTI to line up the images. I often stamp them on a scrap piece of paper first to see if I like the way they look together before I commit to stamping them on card stock.


My favorite thing about stamping with the MISTI is the ability to restamp an image to make sure it is crisp and clear. There is nothing worse than an image that isn't fully inked. The fabulous MISTI magnets hold your card stock in place so you can stamp multiple times. I especially love this for sentiments.


Once I had my images stamped I coloured these cuties from Cute Chemists with Copics.

Serious Chemistry

We've got another fabulous sketch for you this week. One of the things that I love about sketch challenges is that you can use them as a starting point for a card. You don't need to follow every detail of the sketch, just go with what inspires you. That's what I did with this week's sketch challenge, I replaced the circle with this hot little dude from the Cute Chemists stamp set.

Love Is In the Air

We have a love filled feature going on for the next few days on the MFT Blog. Today we are sharing some fun gifts for teachers and kids. I created a trio of projects to share with you.

First up I have a little coffee cup holder. The cups are the small 4oz size that can easily be found on Amazon. I covered each cup with the striped paper from the Sweet Stack patterned paper pack. I finished off the cups with a couple of Ripe Raspberry hearts. The holder was created with Blu Raspberry card stock and Sweet Stack patterned paper. The sweet little bird is from the Tweethearts stamp set. These cups can be filled with chocolates, sweet hearts or any other small candy.

My next creation is a tea bag holder. These tea bags are from Murchie's, and if you have ever been to Victoria, you have probably stepped into this iconic store. It is an amazing place. Okay back to the tea bags, these bags are slightly wider than a normal tea bag so my holder is a bit wider than normal. To decorate the front I used another little bird and a sentiment from the Sweet Celebrations stamp set.

My final project features the sweet Nugget Pouches and the Treat Tag. I just love this new collection of products. They make creating little treats a breeze!


Here's one last look at the trio of products that are perfect for those amazing teachers in your life.
