MFT Elf's Blueprints Challenge - 4.3

Hi everyone!  Here I am with this week's MFT Elf's Blueprints Challenge using Blueprints Four.  YAY!

Here's our sketch for this week...  Blueprints Four - Sketch Three

I rotated the sketch this week, cuz I wanted to play with some of my new toys from MFT. : )  I just love the MFT paper and ink.  If you haven't tried it, you REALLY need to!  The papers I used were Paver Red, Nightshift Blue, Whip Cream and Natural.  Oh, I LOVE the natural ink.  It is PERFECT for sponging edges.  Love, love, love it!  Then I got to use the Textile Background stamps and a sentiment from the gorgeous Fall Foliage set.  The twine and buttons are MFT, but the oval isn't... SHhhhhh.. ; )

...

 Thanks for following along on my Blueprints journey.  Feel free to play along if you'd like! :)

So... here's the details!

*  Make a card using your Blueprints 4 DieNamics and following the above sketch - the bottom one this week!  Feel free to use any stamps that your little heart desires... only please make them family friendly so I can say something nice about them!!

* Post the card to your SCS gallery (keyword:  MFTBP4) or blog then leave a comment with the link... there might just be a prize if you play along!

So there you have it!  Go forth and create!! : )

MFT Elf's Blueprints Challenge - 4.2

Here's our sketch for this week...  Blueprints Four - Sketch Two

All right, I cheated a little this week and moved my stars over... creative license!! ; )  The paper is Kaisercraft Santa's List that I picked up at the Stamp Simply Ribbon Store, the stars are from Blueprints 4, and the sentiment from Blissful Butterflies.

MFT Blueprints and Plaid

Hi everyone!

I'm back today with a card for this week's MFT Sketch Challenge.  I went wild with my Blueprints DieNamics and scraps of DP for this narrow card, and, oh, how fun it was!! :)

First I cut a piece of white cardstock to 6x6" and folded it in half to make a longish card. My pink piece wasn't quite long enough, so I trimmed down the card to work with it.  I'm thinking the card base ended up being about 5.75" when I was done.

I used Blueprints 1 to cut the two strips of faux-stitched designer paper, and then I used Blueprints 4 to cut a little scalloped edging from white cardstock for one of them.  The white layer is actually a tag from Blueprints 6, and I stamped the plaid pattern with three different MFT inks... Red Hot, Kraft and BubbleGum... using the journaling lines from the "DC Tag, You're It" set.  LOVE!!!  The cute little kraft sentiment strip is from Blueprints 2 and stamped with a greeting from "Pretty Poppies" and the flower is cut with dies from Blueprints 5.  Now if I could have only gotten something from Blueprints 3 on there I would have used them all! :)

I really, really love the Blueprints for doing sketch challenges.  There are so many options that work perfectly!  Thanks, MFT, for making stamping easy!!

Coming Soon!!
