Key Ingredients Kit Day 6!

***If you are looking for my MFT Sketch Challenge please scroll down.

Hi Everyone ! I have another gift set to share with you today with this month's gorgeous  Key Ingredients kit! You  you can check out all the details about Taylor's Key Ingredients Subscription on Taylor's blog HERE.  Every month the kits are designed with coordinating card stock, embellishments, DP and more that make it super easy to create a project! 

I created my gift set using ingredients from the kits, the Rosey Posey Stamps and Dies, Houndstooth/Damask Impression Plate, and a gift card tin.

I stamped the image of the two roses from the Rosy Posey Stamp Set in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored with Copics. I cut the roses and the leaves out with the Rosey Posey Dies. My border is cut with the Eyelet Scallop Die and I added black rhinestones to the center holes.

Behind the roses I used the new Houndstooth/Damask Impression Plate. I love it! I embossed it on Cream colored cardstock and sponged on distress ink. 

The I used the Gift Card Frame Die to cover my tin perfectly! The Happy Birthday Sentiment if from the CreativiTEA Stamp Set.

 

Be sure to stop by Taylor, Karen, and Monica (at the KI Blog) for more inspiration today!

MFTWSC59

Hi all and thanks for stopping by today. It's week 59 of our MFT'S WSC Getting Sketchy. We have another fabulous sketch for you this week!

For my take on the sketch this week I am using one of very favorite MFT Stamp Set, Sew Nifty. I just love the dies that come with this set!

I cut the dress form out of dark great cardstock with the die and then stamped the dress form on patterned paper and paper pieced the dress. My papers are from October Afternoon Farmhouse. My sentiment is stamped on one of the ribbon dies from the First Place Ribbon Die-namics.

I mounted the dress form on a doily, using the smaller die in the Dainty Doily Duo. I added Bakers Twine in Blossom and hung little scissors cut with the die set.

On the inside I stamped another sentiment from the set and a tumble cut with on of the dies.

 

You can get all the details by visiting the MFT Blog and the MFT forum on SCS (look for the most recent WSC thread).  You'll need to upload your card in the SCS gallery using the keyword shown on the sketch. You will have the chance to win up to $20 in MFT money. One winner is chosen at random each week!

Hope you have a chance to play along!

 

MFT'S February Creative Challenge

In 2012, MFT is working harder than ever to inspire you, and we have come up with something we think you'll really enjoy. Our Design Team Creative Challenge is a new monthly feature, where we challenge our design team to explore their creative side using a specific theme, product or technique. 

This month's Creative Challenge will be to make a baby themed project. I used a free baby onesie template that I found here. It makes a great welcome baby card but I think it would also make a cute baby announcement. 

I an cut the template out using kraft cardstock and the covered the front with papers from Simple Stories Baby Steps. 

To make the collar I used small die in the Dainty Doily Duo, cutting it down to fit the neck.

I used three different dies to make this embellishment. I cut a flower with the Rolled Scallop Flower Die-namics out of My Favorite Felt in Bubble Gum. 


My tag is cut with the Notched Tag Die-namics and I stamped a sentiment from the coordinating stamp set. Then I used the Leafy Flourish Die-namcs to cut out my leaves.

I covered the inside of card with patterned paper, added a sentiment from the à la modes - Oh Baby! stamp set, and three little hearts using one the dies in the Notched Tag Die-namics and Stamp set.

Thanks for stopping by!  Be sure to check the MFT Blog for a list of all the designers who have great ideas to share with you today!
