Welcome to the May MFT Stamps Release Countdown! Over the next several days I will be sharing projects with you featuring the new products releasing this month. As always, its a pretty great line up and the new design team members are starting to share their work on this release! The eye candy is unreal!
For my first card, I used the latest background image, Myriad Dot Background. There are going to be a myriad of uses for this background stamp! (sorry, I could not help myself!)
When I first looked at the image, I immediately thought of black polka dots. So I created a watercolor background using some pretty bright ink pads for the polka dots to sit upon.
I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment on a strip of acetate. The sentiment is from a new stamp set called, For the Boys, from Lisa Johnson Designs. This sentiment however, is perfect for anyone!
To adhere the acetate to my card, I scored the edges around the watercolor panel, securing the edges to the back. It does look a bit curvy in the photo, but it will lay flat, easily. (I had to pop it up for the sake of photography.)
One final touch was a few die cut metallic gold stars created with Die-namics Blueprints 25.
And now for a couple of cards for Father's Day. When making masculine cards, I tend to keep things clean, simple, and bright. The color palette for this card came from one of my husband's favorite shirts. Seemed like a smart way to chose colors that I know he likes! :)
Using Die-namics Terrific Ties, I cut a panel of Sweet Tooth cardstock three times, moving the tie image each time.
Then on another panel of Sweet Tooth cardstock, I stamped Plaid Background Builder in Blueberry and Limelight inks.
Before adhering the tie cut (hahaha, I am cracking myself up today) piece of cardstock to the card base with foam adhesive, I stamped a two-part sentiment from, For the Boys. The stars are also from the same set.
More clean and simple again on this card, but this time with a little more color. I die cut Sweet Tooth cardstock with Die-namics Terrific Ties and stamped the coordinating bow tie image upon it in Orange Zest ink.
Then I stamped my panel (Sweet Tooth cardstock, Die-namics Blueprints 24) with a sentiment from For the Boys. The small row of stars image seemed to be the perfect complement to the sentiment. (I would really love to see this card in a red, white, and blue palette with the American Flag for our service men and women.)
Well, the release is off and rolling. Be sure and visit the MFT Blog to be linked up to all the new designers and their amazing work! And of course, there are always chances to win there too!
