MFT'S January 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 masculine card. I think many of us, including me, struggle when we know we need a male card. 


When I want to make a masculine card I think about the stamp image and colors first. For this card I am using MFT's at the Movies Die-namic and Stamp Set and papers from My Mind's Eye Kraft Funday Everyday Fun 6 x 6 paper pad. Since I am going with a movie theme, I kept my colors kraft and black, with the idea of a black and white movie. 


I used the a sentiment from the stamp set and the large film strip die. In the corner I added the film reel and a Tim Holz wheel embellishment.


I added another one of the dies and sentiments from the set in the corner, along with the arrow stamp. I added machine stitching and twine. 


On the inside I added another sentiment from the stamp set and a film strip using the Mini Film Strip Die-namic
