Each week, our designers are on the lookout for spectacular cards and projects using My Favorite Things clear stamps and Die-namics dies. We’re always excited to share just a few of these with you each week. Then, at the end of the month, we choose just one of those projects to share with you as our very Favorite Find of the month. This month, we fell in love with spectacular card from Amy Rohl. She’s combined so many elements  in her signature fun-loving style!

Please be sure to stop by to congratulate Amy Rohl, our Favorite Find for the month of August. You can see her original post HERE.

We’re moving onto week number 87 in the My Favorite Things Wednesday Stamp Club sketch series.  Remember to play along for your chance at the weekly prize, valued at up to $20 in vouchers to the MFT Boutique. You can submit your entry using the keyword MFTWSC87 to the Gallery at Splitcoaststampers. Entries for this week’s challenge will close on Tuesday, September 4th at noon EST.

Here’s this week’s sketch for you to follow along with:

Karen Motz has a totally radical sample to share with you this week using the recently released 80′s Girl.

Check out the samples created by our talented design team members by clicking on each of the graphics below.

Is it me, or are baby cards the most fun to create project ever?  I was so excited that I had one on my “to-do” list for the newest, tiniest member of my extended family.  I reached for the Baby Onesie Stamp Set and Die-namics and decided that this week’s color challenge for CR84FN was just perfect for what I had in mind.  Armed with an ample scrap bin of papers, and a fresh pack of Whip Cream and Kraft cardstock I started playing around.

Ordinarily I don’t go with ribbon and lacy trims for boy cards, but for a baby boy card, it’s all good.  So I aded a fluffy bow using our Whip Cream Ribbon and a bit of detail using the Dainty Lace Border.

If you have a hard time with bow-tying, you can find a quick how-to video HERE or simply click play below.

Our MFT Ribbon ties such pretty bows, I truly love working with it.

Here’s a close up of the new MFT Buttons (I’m using the Natural ones here)

Here’s a tip, I love to finish of the insides of my cards too.  It’s a perfect handmade touch, and let’s be honest, you’ve always got extra paper scraps laying around when you’re finished, so dig in a little deeper. The stamp set is huge, and has lots of sentiments included, so you’ll have lots of options for both the inside and the outside of the project.  In fact, you can even add a coordinating gift tag!  I stamped it to a nesting set of Oval STAX.  I left myself just a little bit of room for a handwritten note inside.

Thanks for stopping by today. Have a great weekend and we’ll see you again next week!

Welcome back to the My Favorite Things Wednesday Stamp Club Challenge. We’re moving onto week 86 and we hope you’ll play along for your chance at the weekly prize, valued at up to $20 in vouchers to the MFT Boutique. You can submit your entry using the keyword MFTWSC86 to the Gallery at Splitcoaststampers. Remember that entries close on Tuesday, August 28th at noon EST.

Here’s this week’s sketch for you to follow along with:

This week, I have a sample from Mona to share with you  Remember you’ll find links to all the participating designers today just below.

Check out the samples created by our talented design team members by clicking on each of the graphics below.

The newest VIP Collection from My Favorite Things is now available HERE.

Today I’m playing with a set that isn’t new to My Favorite Things, it’s just that  I hadn’t had a chance to ink it up yet. It’s such a shame when that happens!

So, today I’m stamping along with the Ring Me Stamp Set and Die-namics.  I know I’ve mentioned before that the stamp and Die-namics combo simplify your card making, all the elements you really “need” are already included.  (Though, I will often mix in a few other beloved elements too…)  I picked some pretty papers, ink and played around.

You remember these phones right?  I actually don’t think my kids have ever seen one. Sigh…. I can fully remember chatting on my peach princess phone with the long cord.  In fact, remember when you could by the extra long cord so you could freely walk around the house with it?

I prepared a quick little video to show you all the details of this fun set. It shows you how quick and easy it is to build the rotary element, and it will show you how to make this curly cord too.   All the tiny sentiments like “miss you” or “ring ring” will fit in the center of the phone, but today I tucked in a tiny cork heart using the Notched Tag Die-namics. See, it’s fun to mix and match. I highly recommend it.

By the way, you’ll see me using my QuickStick in today’s little video. It’s a handy tool, and go figure, we happen to carry it here at My Favorite Things!

You can see the video HERE or simply click play below.

I added the sentiment “Hello, Friend” to the File Tab Die-namics and then used the “cut and recut” technique to get a perfect fit.  You can see how to cut and re-cut in THIS video.

So I hope you’ll join me in digging out a stamp set that you just HAD to have, but maybe haven’t had a chance to work with yet.  (Come on, you know we all have them!) You’ll be so glad you did, and I will too! Be sure to leave me a link on this post to see what you’ve done, or simply upload it to the Splitcoaststampers gallery using the keyword MFT, we’re always over checking out that gallery!

Welcome to the My Favorite Things Design Team Creative Challenge. Each month, we challenge our designer to work within a specific theme, or using a particular technique. This month, we’ve asked our designers to think in miniature and create Mini-Books. Stamps and Die-namics are fabulous for creating these miniature works of art to mark a special event or for gift giving.

Here’s a vintage, soft and lovely sample from Mona to inspire you today, but be sure to see below for links to all the designers with samples to share.  And if you get inspired to create a mini-book of your own, be sure to come share it with us in the MFT Forum on Splitcoaststampers we’d love to see what you come up with!
