Tomorrow Is The Big Day…

Posted by Jen | cards | Friday, August 31, 2007

My Favorite Things will be releasing a new mini set and My Favorite 48 {see details below on MF48}. I wanted to share with you 2 shower cards that I made using the new mini, Shower Time. I love that the umbrella is a “blank” image so the possibilities are really endless. On the pink card I stamped {and pieced} the umbrella with the dotted background from MFT’s Behind The Scenes. On the blue card {which can be used for a boy shower or any general use} I used a variety of different American Crafts “The Goods” line of papers on the base of the card and coordinated the umbrella to match by piecing it again. On this card, I also smothered the umbrella with Crystal Effects because I wanted it to be like one of those plastic umbrellas. I have never had one of those, but whenever I see one, I am always drawn to it.

Upcoming stuff here at i{h}2s:
Saturday: More stuff from MFT’s new release, Shower Time
Sunday: Come and meet your new Guest Designer!!!!!!
Monday: Tony is blogging here as i{heart}thestamper {since the first fell on a Sunday *again!*, we are moving Tony’s wit and wisdom to Monday this month}

ETA…I’m an idiot!!! Tomorrow is the first. Ok…same schedule as above. The AWESOME Guest Designer will be announced a day later than usual. Ummmm….MommyBrain!!!
**Next weekend is VSN at SCS**
I’m a hostess for a fun lil’ challenge on Friday night…be there!!!

    I absolutely adore this stamp set! I have seen the cutest cards over the past week with them and yours fit in that boat. I think I’m going to have to break down and get this set.

    I absolutely love your samples! The colors are great on both but the 2nd one is over the top (or should I say, out of the box!)!!

    These cards are so so cute! I love all the details on your umbrellas, and I love that they’re “out of the box”. All the patterns, colors, and dots are just so happy — love ‘em!!
