All the Poms! {Queen and Co}

The  new Birthday Bash Kit from Queen and Company is so much fun!! Laurie Willison here bringing you 2 cards using all the new poms!



This card was quick and easy to make.  I stenciled in some could, stamped the balloons and the sentiment in black ink and then added in the poms.  The stamp helps you place the pom poms perfectly.  

For this next card, I used the ice cream cone die.  I love this die!  It die cuts and embosses the little cone lines....

I added 4 strips of patterned paper on the card base and then added in a diagonal piece of white cardstock down next.  I added a circle die cut in the middle to hold the ice cream cone.

Last, I die cut and heat embossed this little banner for the sentiment.  Easy Peasy!

Working with this kit is so much fun!  I hope you will head over and check it out.  Thanks so much for coming by today!

MFT Card Kit Release...

Today is release day for the May 2018 MFT Card Kit.  Painted Prints is now available over at the MFT Store.  I have one last card to share with you...

To create this card, I stamped the blooms along the top and bottom corner.  I splattered the card front in black ink and gold ink for a fun effect.  I adding the Hello stamp from the beautiful sentiment set in the kit.  Last, I die cut the front panel with a Rectangle STAX die and then popped the center up on foam tape for a dimensional effect.

MFT Card Kit Countdown Day 2...

Welcome to day 2 of the May MFT Card Kit Countdown.  Are you like what you have seen so far?  The Painted Prints Kit is so beautiful!

Here is my card for today...

To create this card, I stamped one of the flower images to cover the whole card front.  Once I had it all stamped, I couldn't bring myself to cut into it.  I added a scalloped rectangle in vellum to the front.  I attached it by adding a little zig zag stitched to each side after heat embossing that beautiful sentiment to the front.

Everything you are seeing so far will be available on Tuesday, May 22 at 8pm CST.  So glad you stopped in today!

CARDS

There is a new floral set that totally made me smile.  It's called Bride to Be!

To create this card, I added a little bit of ink blending in the background for a slight blue haze.  Then I stamped and die cut the flowers and made a simple grouping using my Press N Seal trick.  (You can check out my video HERE.)  Last, I stamped the sentiment from the Best Mom set.  

This next card uses the Garden Silhouette stamp set along with the Fine Alphabet Dies...

To create this card, I stamped the images along the bottom of the card front.  I die cut a large rectangle in the card front so I could pop the center rectangle up on foam tape.  Last, I die cut the word Hello in white card stock and in fun foam so I could add it to the card with some dimension. Clean and simple!

This last card, uses some of the images from Garden Silhouette...

I kept this one simple and stamped the vase and flower on watercolor paper.  I added a little water to the vase and it gave it a really pretty effect.  I added a little shading with a comic along the bottom and then stamped the sentiment in black ink.

Here is the full May Release....

And here is the "i want it all" button...

MFT Card Kit Countdown Day 1...

OH my word.  Are you ready for a fabulous new Kit from MFT?  Well you'll have to be patient for a couple days of the countdown but on Tuesday, May 22nd at 8pm CST this amazing kit will be available for purchase.  So for today....I have a sneak peak for you.

If you love quick and simple, or clean and simple or white space like I do, this kit works perfectly just for that!



To create this card, I stamped a row of flowers on the bottom of a card front panel.  This flower here is a 3 step flower and so very easy to line up.  Next, I stamped the sentiment along the bottom.  Because I stamped the flowers overlapping, it was super easy to fussy cut along the flower edges and create a border out of the panel.  I popped it up on foam tape onto a white card base so there would be some dimension in the card.  And done!  So simple!

Stop by the MFT Blog for a list of design team blogs to check out.  Stay tuned for Day 2 of the Card Kit tomorrow too, to see lots more!

Hope you have a great day!
