The time has finally arrived for you to purchase this month's card kit! And don't forget to add the On the Road Die-Namics to your shopping cart because it has such amazing possibilities for adding that little extra pizzazz and reality to your projects! I'm sharing a project that I created using the Better Together Card Kit, the On the Road Die-Namics, the Slimline Starter Die-Namics and the Slimline Grassy Hills Die-Namics to create a Double Double Slider Loop Card (it's Double Double because two critters move in opposite directions!)

And here's what it looks like when I tug on the pull-tab!

I filmed a video showing you the step-by-step instructions to use the interactive dies from the Slimline Starter Die-Namics! You can find the video over on the MFT YouTube Channel by clicking on the graphic below!

My Favorite Things - July Birthday Project Challenge!!

Hello again!

I'm so happy to be popping in today to share a project inspired by this month's Birthday Project Challenge - which is to elevate our gift card giving game! I was super excited about this challenge, because it gave me an opportunity to create a fun interactive card that includes a fun double surprise!  It features the Frosted Cupcake Die-Namics and the sentiment is from the All the Cupcakes Stamp Set!  Here's what the card looks like before I tug on the pulltab:

And here's what it looks like when the tab is pulled:

My Favorite Things - A New Interactive Card & Process Video!

Hello peeps!

I'm popping in on this beautiful Friday morning to let you know that I created a cutie patootie interactive card featuring the Cat-Astrophe Stamp Set, and I filmed a video of my process! I paired it with the Double Slider Loop Slots Die-Namics. I love pairing a familiar interactive mechanism with new product because I can always see something in each  month's release moving in one way or another! When I saw that automatic vacuum in the set, I knew I had to make one of the kitties sit on top of it and scoot around!

Here's what it looks like when you tug on the pull tab:

It's a super fun video, and you can see every little step that I took to create this project on the MFT YouTube Channel by clicking on the graphic below.

I've listed and linked all of the MFT products that I used below.

My Favorite Things - Another Fun Interactive Card and Process Video!

Hello lovelies!

I'm back again today with my monthly interactive card and process video!  Today's project features the Kissing Booth Stamps and dies from this month's release, and I paired them with two of the images from the Zippy Zebras Stamp Set! And to make it interactive, I jimmy-rigged the Double Slider Loop Slots Die-Namics to create a mechanism that will make two images move towards each other simultaneously!

And this is what happens when I tug on the pull-tab!

Wouldn't this be a super cute valentine for the one you love?!!  I don't want to give too many details away here on my blog!  I'd love it if you clicked on through to the MFT YouTube Channel to check out my video!  I've listed the MFT Products that I used below!  Please click on the graphic below to be watch my video!

My Favorite Things - January Vault Release!

Hello all!

I hope you all have been enjoying all of the amazing inspiration that the team has been providing using the products coming out of the MFT Vault this month! Honestly, these are some of my most favorite products ever!  I had so much fun playing with the Party Animals Stamp Set and the Barn Die-Namics!

I wanted to make this interactive, so I thought it'd be perfect to have the chicken from the Party Animals Stamp Set coming out of the top of the barn!  Check it out!

With a little tug on the pull tab, the chicken holding on to the balloon pops out!  Isn't that so fun?!  I used the Double Slider Loop Slots Die-Namics to lift the chicken up into the air - easy peasy!  I've listed and linked all of the MFT products that I used below.

My Favorite Things - November Birthday Project Challenge!

Hello friends!

This one of my most favorite challenges of all the challenges that MFT has to help inspire your creativity!  And this month's Birthday Challenge is no exception!  This month we're challenged to create a birthday design that includes a shaker or slider element.  For this, I couldn't resist pulling out the new Snow Buddies Stamp Set and coordinating dies.  I used a sentiment from the Ready, Set Snow Stamp Set, which was perfect for my project!

So, you know I had to pull out my fave Double Slider Loop Slots Die-Namics to create a slider element.  And I'm obsessive about hiding as much of the mechanism as I can.  So, I adhered a small magnet to the acetate loop and on the back of the image to move that adorable little dachshund back and forth like he's sliding across the snow bank. Here's what it looks like when I pull the pull tab.

And here's a video action shot as I pull the tab back and forth.

I'm so excited about how this turned out (I was inspired to use the magnet by my teammate, Laura - she's so amazingly clever!) and can't wait to use magnets in some of my future projects!  I've listed and linked all of the MFT Products that I used below.

Please click on through to the MFT Design Blog to be linked to the other outstanding projects that my teammates have created for this month's Birthday Challenge!  And while you're there, why not link up your own slider or shaker element birthday project of your own! If you do, you'll be eligible to win a $50 Gift Voucher to the MFT Online Boutique!

That's it for me today, friends!  I'll be back again next week with more crafty stuff!  Thanks for stopping by today, and until next time, have a great day!

I'm back again to share one more November Release Countdown project, and this one features the Giraffes On Ice Stamp Set and coordinating dies, as well as the Snowy Hillside Die-Namics.  And I made it interactive, by pairing the new products with the Double Slider Loop Slots Die-Namics to make the giraffes skate across the pond towards each other!

Those ice skating giraffes just crack me up!  And the Snowy Hillside Die-Namics make creating A2 snowy scenes a breeze!  I've listed and linked all of the MFT products that I used below (although the links to the new products won't be live until the release date).

My Favorite Things - August Birthday Project Challenge!

I'm baaacckkkk!!

As promised yesterday, I'm back again today (man, it's been a busy week on the ol' blog!) with a project inspired by this month's Birthday Project Challenge!  And can I just say that I love these kinds of challenges because who doesn't always need birthday cards in their stash?!  I know I ALWAYS do!  So this month's challenge is to create a birthday card and include a fun way to present a gift card!  So my project was not only inspired by the challenge, but it was also inspired by the color scheme in the gift card that I used!

I decided to pull out the Double Slider Loop Slots Die-Namics and create a Double Slider Surprise card.  When you pull on the tab, this is what happens:

If you look at the top of the card, you can see that gift card peeking out from the behind the rainbow!  Pretty cute, huh?!  I've listed and linked all of the MFT Products that I used below.

My Favorite Things - June Birthday Project: Peek-a-boo!!

Hello my friends!!

I'm so excited to be here to share a project for this month's Birthday Project Challenge!  This month, we were challenged to include some sort of "peek-a-boo" element to our card!  Well, I just HAD to break out my fave-a-lave Double Slider Loop Slots Dies in order to make something pop out!  I used the Space Explorer Stamp Set, and was pretty darned happy with how it all turned out!  Here's how it looks before pulling the tab:

And you get a little bit of a hint as to what to expect when you pull the tab, but here's the full reveal:

How stinkin' fun is that?!!  I just love how that cute little astronaut pops out of the top of the clouds!  You just gotta love the Double Slider Loop Slots to make all kinds of surprises pop out of nowhere!  I've listed and linked all of the MFT Products that I used below.
