Sites of the week

Verve is have a wee lil’ release tomorrow night. Don’t be fooled by the size, though, there’s some good sets to be had…including a concept from yours truly! You’ll have to wait until tomorrow to see that one, though!

This first card is from a new set called AMAZING WISHES. It’s a set of wonderful sentiments, along with a couple of flowers and a tag. Very cute and very Verve-y!…

These cute little birds are from the new set WORDY BIRDS {that’s just so fun to say!}. This my attempt at “simple masculine”…

I’m really looking forward to making a cute baby card or tag with this set…and there’s a perfect sentiment to go with it, too!

This post is so short and sweet because I am feeling quite under the weather. I’m off to sip some hot honey lemon water and crawl under the covers. See you tomorrow with more Verve-y-ness!

There are lots of peeks going on, so check out JULEE’S BLOG for the beginning of the hop and a full list of hoppers/peekers. If you are already moving down the line, check out what Tosh has in store for you next. We are overlapping this release a couple days with the Project Parade, so don’t forget to take a look at all the great Project Parade goodies on the VERVE BLOG.

Welcome to the December Blog Hop and Shop for My Favorite Things! Being that this is a HOP, you should have started on the MFT BLOG and hopped along from Kelli Hull’s blog. When you leave here, you will be going on to http://beadnstampn.blogspot.com/“>Deb Anton’s blog {I’ll be posting her later, too}.

I am sure that you have loved all the MFT Teasers over the past few days and this hop is just the icing on the cake for the release! I usually have only one card to show on my hop post, but today I have TWO! This first card features the new Pure Innocence Splish Splash set…

Of couse, I couldn’t do an MFT card without using Die-Namics…I’m a little addicted!! LOL! On this card I used the Small Scallop Border, Cloud Trio, and Dianty Dots Border dies.

Inside of the card using the Dainty Dots and Polka Dot Greetings {sold with the Polka Dot Greetings stamp set} Die-Namics…

This second card uses the Pure Innocence You Give Me Wings set…

The large heart on the front of the card is from the Hearts a Plenty Die-Namics die. Here’s a detail shot of the front…

Finally, the inside which also uses the Hearts a Plenty Die-Namics die. Since I know that I will be asked, the wings are from a punch that I picked up in a stamp store in San Diego…

All of the new stuff is available now on the MFT site. Hop along to the super sweet and talented Deb Anton’s blog for some more new release fun!

It’s release day {well, actually it’s tonight} at My Favorite Things and the last day of teasers. Today I am featuring a BUNCH ofDie-Namics {**love**} and the set, Clearly Sentimental About Love. It’s part of the Clearly Sentimental line at MFT. This started as one card, but I liked the paper combo and I had some “extra” {hahaha} time, so I went ahead and made a set…

This set doesn’t lend itself to doing and outside and inside; however, you can very easily do the inside with matching paper and the use of MFT Die-Namics. I created an inside of each of the cards that coordinates with the outside that is stamped.

ETA: What I meant is that that each sentiment stands well on it’s own without a pair on the inside. Obviously, other sets could be used on the inside, but I wanted to feature the set on it’s own with the Die-Namics.

Card 1…

There are actually THREE Die-Namics used in this card~ Hearts a Plenty, Dainty Dots and Small Scallop Border…

Tonight is the RELEASE PARTY in our forum on SCS. Hope to see you there! For more teasers today, check out the MFT blog for a full list of DT Members that will be posting today. Have a great day!

It’s day Day 4 of Teasers for My Favorite Things and the eve of the release! It’s also the last day to enter the Guest Designer contest {it closes at 10PM EST}. Today I get to show you the newest set from the Jolinne line, Friendship is a Shelter…

Her wool coat is a little extra wool-y, since I had to work a little magic after a sweet lil’ 4 year old wanted to “see if it was dry yet.” It’s a good thing she’s cute

The umbrella is popped up and then I glued down each side to make it look more spherical…or half spherical. I also put a thin layer of Diamond Glaze on top of it…

Inside of the card…

Be sure to check out the MFT blog for all release information, as well as links to all the DT Members that will be sneak peeking today.

Monday morning greetings! It’s DAY 3 for MFT Teasers {DAY 1 here}. Can you believe a new My Favorite Things release is already upon us this Wednesday? Time flies when you’re having fun, I guess! Today you will find many of the DT Members peeking one of MFT’s most popular lines…Pure Innocence.

This card features the new Pure Innocence, Sending a Box of Love…

I popped up the chocolate box…

A little story…
I didn’t originally plan on popping up the box of chocolates, but as soon as I laid down the paper pieces for her dress, I knew I “had to.” At the time, I didn’t have a spare moment to color another box of chocolates and cut it out, so I got out my Exacto knife and cut it out. In hindsight, I probably spent the same amount of time trying to precisely cut out the box as it would have taken to color another image. As Ellie would say, “Classic Mama!”

I am totally in love with the Hearts a Plenty Die-Namics and have actually used them numerous times. I hadn’t planned on using them on this card, though. LOL! You know that little saying, “It’s not a mistake, it’s an opportunity to embellish?” Let’s just saying this card is proof of that!

By the way, here’s what the Hearts a Plenty Die-Namics looks like. Pretty cute, huh?…

I’m sure that you are chomping at the bit to see more Pure Innocence girls…and boys and to see what other Die-Namics are coming out in just 2 days. So, head on over to Kim’s blog for full details about the release and a list of all the DT Members that have peeks on their blogs.
