My Favorite Things - June Release Countdown Day 2 - Almost There!

Hola friends!

We're almost ready for the June release, but we've got a few more days of sneak peeks for you! I'm super excited to share with you the Baby Shark Die-Namics, which I'm sure you've already seen some super darling projects using these dies! But I wanted to share with you two projects that would be awesome for a shark-themed birthday party, or even a Baby Shark themed baby shower! I so love using my dies to create something other than a card!

I die cut two sharks from Blueberry, Blue Yonder, Poppy and Smooth White card stock, using the Baby Shark Die-Namics.  I used two patterned papers from the new Fun In the Sun 6 x 6 Paper Pack as my backgrounds, because I thought they both were fun representations of water. The Paper Bag Die-Namics worked beautifully to die cut some Heavyweight Translucent Vellum, and I adhered the patterned paper on the front and back. I filled the little bag with two different shades of jelly beans and tied some red and white baker's twine on the handle as a simple embellishment. Here's a closer look.

For the second one, I adhered the patterned paper to a Smooth White Panel, and I die cut it using the Treat Bag Topper Die-Namics.  I filled a Gusseted Treat Bag with some kraft shred, and a few shark-themed party favors, folded over the top, and secured the Treat Bag Topper to the bag with some double-sided tape and some mini staples. I again embellished the favor bag with red and white baker's twine. Check out this cuteness!

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.)

My Favorite Things - September The Vault Release Day 1 (Products Available NOW!)

Hello loves!

I'm so excited to share A LOT of pics of my projects for Day 1 (and the Release Day!) of this month's Vault Release!    Today's projects feature the re-released (and IMPROVED) Level Up Stamp Set and the Game Controller Die-Namics!  These two products are PERFECT for party planning, so I went to work to create four different items that would be super fun and simple to mass produce for any video game loving birthday girl or boy! Are you ready for all the pics?  Here ya go!

I started by creating a card for the birthday girl or boy, using a color scheme that ties into a very popular video game system!  I assembled the largest of the controllers from the Game Controller Die-Namics and stamped one of the sentiments from the Level Up Stamp Set.  I created a focal area with the Blueprints 33 Die-Namics.

How about a little party favor for the guests?!!  I used the Treat Bag Topper Die-Namics and assembled the smaller of the Game Controller diecuts and used that as a charm or embellishment.  The sentiment is from the Level Up Stamp Set, and I threw in some party favors - a game controller eraser, a lime green fidget spinner, and some Green Apple Pop Rocks!  Perfect party favor for the party guests, right?!

And what's a party without treats?!!  I created a cupcake topper using the largest Game Controller die cut (just stuck it to a bamboo pick).  And I created a candy bag (full of lime green, black, and white Jelly Belly's) using the Paper Treat Box Die-Namics, the smaller Game Controller die cut, and the Blueprints 31 Die-Namics.  Pick up some green and black paper plates, cups and plastic silverware, and you've got yourself a party that any gamer and his/her guests would be thrilled with!  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 fabulous projects that my teammates have created using more of this month's Vault Release products.  And while you're there, be sure and leave some love along the way for your chance to win a $50 Gift Voucher to the MFT Online Boutique!  And many of the team will be back again tomorrow with more September Vault Release goodies for you!  But the re-released products are available for purchase NOW and can be found by clicking on the graphic below.

That's it for me today!  I will be back again tomorrow with another September Vault Release project! Thanks so much for stopping by! Hope to see you back here tomorrow!

My Favorite Things–Treat Bag Topper Kit Day 2!

Hello again!!

I’m back today to share two more projects for this month’s Treat Bag Topper Kit! I’m having a blast creating different bags for different occasions because this kit is so stinkin’ versatile!  All you have to do is add your own stamps and dies from your stash to create an awesome gift or treat bag!

My first project features the shark image from the Beach Buddies Stamp Set and coordinating dies.  I die cut the Treat Bag Topper Die-Namics from some Summer Splash Card Stock and some Blueberry Card Stock.  I used the Ocean Waves Die-Namics to die cut the two flaps from the Blueberry topper die cut, and I adhered them onto the Summer Splash die cut with foam squares.  I stamped the shark image from the Beach Buds Stamp Set onto some Cement Gray Card Stock with Sweet Tooth Pigment Ink, heat embossed him with white embossing powder, and then die cut him out with the coordinating Beach Buds Die-Namics.  I adhered him between the waves with a thin foam square.  I stamped the sentiment from the Beach Buds Stamp Set onto the waves with Sweet Tooth Pigment Ink, and heat embossed it with white embossing powder.  I tied some blue baker’s twine to the handle for a final finishing touch.  I filled the bag with three colors of Jelly Bellies and some gold fish crackers, and thought this would be fun for a shark-themed birthday party or an old fashioned movie night where you show the original “Jaws” movie! Or how about a favor for a Shark Week party?!

My second project was designed with Teacher Appreciation Week in mind.  If you have students in your house, you know how important it is to show those teachers how much you and your kids appreciate them!  I die cut the Treat Bag Topper Die-Namics from some Poppy Card Stock.  I stamped the super hero cat image from the Super Cat Stamp Set onto some copic friendly white card stock using Black Licorice Hybrid Ink, colored her in with my Copic markers, and die cut her using the coordinating Super Cat Die-Namics.  I stamped the cityscape image and the sentiment from the You’re Super Stamp Set onto the topper die cut using Black Licorice Hybrid Ink.  I stamped the word “teacher” from the Soda Pop Stamp Set using Sweet Tooth Pigment Ink, and then I heat embossed it with white embossing powder. I adhered the super hero cat to the treat topper with foam squares, and tied on some blue baker’s twine as a finishing touch.  I filled the bag with a sweet fill-in-the-blanks book that your student can write in to tell their teacher how much he or she means to your child (I found the book at Paper Source.)


All of the MFT products that I used are listed and linked below (although the new product links won’t be live until the products are released.)
