Catching Some Rays

Here's a couple of cards that I made with the new MFT Catching Some Rays stamp set that was released last week. For both, I used Copics to color. On the above card, I used K&Company PP and the below card I used MFT's Summer Collection paper pack.

For the smaller elements on this card, I used By the Seashore and Hooga Booga. Both are MFT sets, found HERE. Make sure you check out the new sets that were released last night on the website!
Till later...

Mid-Month Hop!

This cute little number is my sample for the mid-month MFT blog hop. I hope that you like it! If you don't know what I'm talking about, you'll want to check out the Hop from the beginning at THIS link.

The three sets that are being released TONIGHT are available NOW, and you can find them HERE. This set is called Feelin' Fruity. Ain't it cute! The other new sets include a new Annie LaPoint set (Harvest of Hope) and Bubble Bunny (a Flopsey set that is TOO cute!).

I used some K&Company paper (I realize that I've been using the heck out of this PP, but I really like it, AND it's WAY summery! Don't worry - it'll end sooner or later! LOL) along with my Nesties. Below you can see that I added some Crystal Effects to the cherries to make them shiny like the PP. The tiny button is available through MFT at THIS link.

To continue on with the Hop, and come on, you know you do! :) Click on THIS LAST LINK to check out what Susie has for you. I'm sure you'll love it!

And now I'm off to keep stamping! Oh yeah, and the First 50 Momento Dew Drop color this week is Bamboo Leaves! Don't miss it!

Bark Worthy Bites!

Today is release day! MFT is releasing 4 sets tonight, after the release party! This is Puppy Chow, and will be only $9! I thought that I would make a cute little giftie with it and one of these Prima paint cans.

I "borrowed" some of Michelle's puppy treats for this project - Shhhh ;)

How do you like that pretty gingham ribbon?? I love it! Super soft and easy to tie. It's somewhat new, and you can find it HERE.

Here's a close-up of the little puppy. I used Stickles and a rhinestone to create a collar for her. She's colored with Copics.The top is adorned with MFT buttons and another little puppy, like the middle picture. I DID have a close-up of that, but I accidentally deleted it. :( Oh well, you get the drift! :) I thought that the can turned out pretty cute - hope you do too!

Well I gotta run! If you didn't see last night's Blog Hop, make sure you scroll down to see the kitty version of this set! It's just as cute!! Hope to see you tonight at the release party! Till then...

July Release Blog Hop!

Welcome to the MFT July release Blog Hop! If you're catching this mid-stream, then make sure that you click on THIS LINK to start from the beginning! You won't want to miss anything!

I usually have a Flopsey for my Hop card, but since there isn't one for this release, I figured that a cutie kitty would work. They "hop", right!? :)

This is a little label set, called Purrfect Treats, that is meant to fit the adorable MFT squared jars, found HERE. I thought that I would make it a bit more versatile on this card. I used the "purrfect" sentiment from this set, but I also grabbed the "you made my day" sentiment, from the Essential Sentiments set.

The paper is from K&Company, buttons are from MFT, ribbon is unknown, and the flower is a Prima. Copics were used to color the kitty, and her collar was made with Platinum Stickles. Did you notice the little paw prints on the PP? I thought that they were cute. :)

So, now it's time to fly on over to Miss Susie Q, to see what she has for you. I'm sure that you'll love it! Click HERE to head to her blog! But before you go, here's some important info about tomorrow's release...

When I Get Stuck

This is a Father's Day card that I made for my Dad last week with some PTI stamps, Forest Friends and Fresh Alphabet. The PP is from SU, buttons are from MFT, and ribbon is from PTI. Corner punch is from SU, as well.

And for a close-up of the image... I love this little hedgie!
Welp, that's about it! I'm off to get a shower. TTYL!

Teachers Rule Giftie

This is a cutie little jar from MFT that I altered with the newer MFT set, Teacher, Teacher. Both can be found at this LINK. These little 16oz jars are sold in sets of 4 for about $14. They make the CUTEST little gifts, and these MFT stamp sets fit perfectly on the front of the jar!! Can't beat that with a stick!!

I filled mine wtih Jolly Ranchers, as you can see. I personalized this one for Wyatt's future Kindergarten teacher. :) (Never too early to start buttering her up! LOL) The blackboard was colored with Copics and embellished with little images from the set. The button is from SU, as is the PP. Ribbon and twine is from PTI.

I just used my Nesties for the scallop circles.
Well, that's about it! Hope you have a good week! We've got some fun things planned. Hopefully, I can also find some time to do some stamping!
Till later...

Enjoy Life!

This is a little giftie that I made for my girl, Amy. She's my chocoholic buddy, so I knew that she'd appreciate these pirouettes. I thought that they'd make a nice addition to a bowl of ice cream! :)

I used LAD's Sweets and Treats stamp set and altered the can. My fave is the topper below...

I just love these little ice cream cones!
And now I'm off! Gots lots to do! Till later...
