I pulled out my
Die-namics Vertical Greetings set for this card, but instead of stamping on the die cut, I stamped the sentiment on the patterned paper element of the sketch. I used Die-namics LLD Accent It – Flags & Tags for the little flag at the top of the card—I just love the shape of that little flag. I did some stitching and sponging and finished off with some Die-namics Pretty Posies flowers and Die-namics Royal leaves. I added a Jellybean Green button to each flower center, tied with black twine.

Here’s the inside with another sentiment from the set:

Embossed Birthday




Hi there! I wanted today’s card to be very elegant and I think I succeeded, don’t you? I’m using MFT’s Die-namics Vintage Cameo Frame Die & Stamp Set and decided to go tone-on-tone for my design.

I embossed Whip Cream card stock with the Elite embossing folder and then started layering. Next is a Die-namics Designer Labels 1 STAX,

then the Vintage Cameo frame, also dry embossed, with the image stamped on the inside with Versafine Black Onyx ink. The layers are popped up on foam tape and I tied around a sheer black ribbon. Finally, the sentiment was stamped on a Die-namics LLD Accent It – Flags & Tags die cut, also popped up on foam tape.

Here’s the inside with another sentiment from the set:

You’re Not Old…You’re Vintage

jan2013GD_2012dec21

Hi, everyone, today I have a card with one of my all time favorite MFT sets: Die-namics Just My Type Die & Stamp Set. I love everything about it—the old typewriter, the vintage print, how the paper appears to be coming off the roller, everything! Not to mention the awesome sentiments, like this one :) I’m using the MFT January Guest Designer Contest sketch for this card—be sure to get all the details about the contest HERE.

So, I’m using some gorgeous patterns from Basic Grey’s Plumeria collection and stamped the typewriter and sentiment on Whip Cream card stock. I did some stitching and used Dot N' Go - Mini Glue Dots to adhere my layers. I adhered a strip of lace from Graphic 45’s Trim Staples and then tied around some Tim Holtz - Idea-ology - Crinkle Ribbon that I dyed with Tim Holtz Distress Ink Reinkers - Iced Spruce and vintaged up with Tim Holtz Distress Ink Reinker - Antique Linen. Next, I tied on a button from the Basic Grey - Plumeria - Vintage Buttons set with hemp cord and inserted some Maya Road Trinket Pins - Vintage Pearl. The blue panel and typewriter are popped up on foam tape.

Here’s the inside with another sentiment from the set:

I decided to bring out an older set today: Big Greetings has always been a favorite of mine and needed to see some love. I stamped the sentiment on the long element of my Die-namics Sweet Stack Labels set on patterned paper and layered it up before popping it up on foam dots. I did some stitching, some distressing, and used my Die-namics Simply Scallops Small for the border, along with a strip of lace I found in my stash. To finish it off, I added some black jewels and a sweet Die-namics Royal Rose and Die-namics Royal Leaves embellishment with a hemp cord bow base.

Here’s the inside with another sentiment from the set.
