Welcome to the first MFT Customer Blog Hop! This month My Favorite Things invited a few stampers to start off Celebrate MFT day (which is always on the 20th of the month!) {As an aside....I think I have done enough blog hops this month to officially be classified a frog :) )
If you would like to start at the beginning of the hop (and I know you do!)...head on over to Joanne's blog and click along.
Today, I have two cards to share with you. The first features the set Grow Love, Plant a Tree.
I absolutely ADORE this tree...and had so much fun playing around with it. (Truth be told....99% of the time spent on this card was on that tree..I kid you not!)
I stamped the tree on three different patterned papers. I cut the base out of the brown swirls and then added the first layer and stitched around the edges. Then, I stamped on the brown again and layered another designer paper on the inside circle. I stitched around the inside circle edge and then cut out the trunk and inside circle to mount over the original tree. Finally, I punched a few hearts to add to the inside of the tree (and planted on on the ground too!)
The rest of the card is pretty self-explanatory. I used some beautiful May Arts ribbon along the bottom that I got from Jody in a ribbon share. I have been hoarding this ribbon---cause is just so lovely---but today was the day when I cut into it.....sigh! I added just part of the sentiment in a cloud....thought the "Grow Love" would be perfect for this little tree of hearts. (Tip: Stamp sentiment and then free-hand cut cloud design.)
Materials used: Stamps- Grow Love, Plant a Tree (My Favorite Things); Cardstock-white-(Gina K Designs), ruby red (SU!); Memento black ink; other ink-olive, sky blue (SU!); sponge; Designer paper- Helen Dardik (Creative Imaginations), blue (Paper Studios), tree dp- Urban Prairie/hayloft (Basic Grey), Urban Praire/corn husk (Basic Grey); ribbon-May Arts; heart punch (Provocraft); embroidery floss; paper piercing tool (Bazzill); Mega Nestabilities-Curved Rectangle (Spellbinders); Cuttlebug (Provocraft).
The next card is a simple Halloween card. Simple layout but I wanted to show the adorable Ben Paper Dolls set and how it can be used for a cute trick-or-treater. So I dressed up Ben like a pirate and tucked a little treat bag in his hand......he is all ready to go.
The little fence is from Too Cute To Spook!
Materials used: Stamps-Ben Paper Dolls, Too Cute to Spook (My Favorite Things); memento black ink; Copic markers; cardstock-caramel (SU!), white (Gina K Designs); Designer paper-"Spooked" Stripes (My Mind's Eye), Halloween kids flat paper (K & Company); ribbon- Celebrate it-Harvest (Michael's); Rob & Bob Halloween Characters layered (K& Company).
I hope you like these two creations.......and since this is the end of the hop, I would love to invite you to head on over to the September Celebrate MFT Gallery. Post a card in on SCS and add the keyword "CelebrateMFT0909" so your card will show up in the gallery too!
Go ahead.....Celebrate MFT!
