Stamp To Win, New Design and Blog Candy!

Good morning everyone!  I'm here with a sample for this month's Guest Designer Challenge at My Favorite Things.   And, if you scroll below you'll find details about some BLOG CANDY!

It's a sketch challenge again this month, and trust me you want to play along!  The winner receives over $200 in merchandise from our upcoming August Release, and play along in the Wednesday Sketch Challenge all month long.  The best part is that the winner will join us for Teaser Time for the August Release. I really hope you'll play along with us!  You'll find all the details on this post....

I used the sketch to put together a card for my husband, yesterday we celebrated our 12th Anniversary.  I found this last remaining scrap of my Crate Paper Paper Heart.    I added the "x o x" with the Typewriter Alphabet, this stamp set NEVER leaves my desktop, I use it all the time. 


A bit of Simply Scallops Trim, and I diced apart one of the sentiments in First Class Friend to get this "I love you" in the chunky type font.  Remember you'll find the products used in the inLinkz a the bottom of this post! 

I hope you'll take a peek around the blog, Sara has been hard at work with a fun new design, it is exactly what I'd envisioned and I'm so excited to see things all freshened up! 

How about we celebrate with a little Blog Candy? 


I'll leave the contest open through this coming Sunday. All you have to do is leave a comment on this post telling me your all time favorite product from My Favorite Things and I'll pick one winner at random! 

The prize package includes:


Die-namics Mini Film Strip Border
Die-namics File Tab
Die-namics Hearts a Plenty
Die-namics Notebook Edge
Die-namics Loopy Bloom
Die-namics Let it Snowflake
Die-namics Solid Bracket Border

Here's the links to the products I used in today's card.....

Cute card, Joanne! Let's see, my favorite thing from My Favorite Things?? That's hard. It's between my PI stamps or the Flower / Leaf Trio, I think... Oh, wait! I use one of the ribbons from the First Place Award Ribbon DieNamics ALL the time. I guess I'd pick that!

Linda McClain said...

Congratulations on your new blog design. It looks amazing! Hmmmm . . . very product at MFT. It's always the latest toy, which, for now, is the hexagon die. Lovin' it, but then, I basically love all the die-namics.

Craftyfield said...

My favorite has a habit of changing with each release... at the moment it is the Chevron Stripes die but as soon as I get my hands on the Hexagon set, it will be that !

Clarissa said...

Your blog looks so great!! My all time favourite MFT product is...(oh how can I choose!!)...all the dies...but particularly the dizzy doilys.

Great anniversary card! Like the layers of papers and cute XO banner. I too like the typewriter font. Nice, new blog design! :) Now ... my fav all-time MFT product? Arrgghh! If I say my scalloped ribbon border die which I have used a zillion times, I would feel like I'm "betraying" my grass die, as well as, my PI and Fred Bear stamps and my ... . Well, you get the idea. Heehee! Thanks for the opportunity to win the awesome collection of blog candy dies! :)

YeeHaww...blog candy!! Oh gosh my fav MFT item. Hummm..well I have so many and love all of them but recently I bought the Vanity plate to use on my husband's Father's Day card along with the dollie border. Weird combo I know but let me explain. My husband always seems to be running late for his appointments...he's self-employed and a procrastinator so he's always rushing. Needless to say, he gets speeding tickets. UGH. And on sometimes I've been in the truck with him when he's texting and driving or looking at a map and driving and he scares the livin daylights outta me. On occasion he's been known to hit the curb in the medium strip..I know...nightmare. So when I made his fathers day card, I stamped it with his VANITY license plate number and at the bottom of the card I glued on the doll border. On each doll I stamped a letter and it took him a while to "get it" but the letters on each doll read, "pedestrian"...meaning if he doesn't improve his driving one day he will hit a person!!! Ithought the card was wonderful...he gave me a dirty look....LOL mission accomplished. So for all the pain an suffering I have to endure with my husband's driving, I really deserve to win this candy....don't you think? LOL

Michelle said...

Love the anniversary card. It's sweet, but very appropriate for a guy since it's not cutesy.

Fave MFT? You're kidding, right? Maybe Flopsey Chocolate Bunny. I've used him for 'relax', 'feel better', 'it's your day'. Of course, Girl's Night Out has been used for 'happy birthday', 'congrats', 'I'm here for you'. See, I can't pick a fave! lol

Unknown said...

Ok I just had to say that I LOVE LOVE your new design!! I've always said Sara is a genius - she's just too good!! It looks great on you friend! :)

Michelle said...

Happy Anniversary! Your card it adorable and the new design of the blog looks fabulous. My favorite MFT product would be the dienamics, I love them all!!

Annheidel said...

I love the Die-namics and don't have any of the ones you pictured, so I'd dearly like to win them! :) I also really love the Pure Innocence and a la mode girls. So cute! By the way, thanks for your photography post. It's really helpful!

lula1206 said...

My favorite MFT product now is the Pretty Posies Dienamics. I use them all the time!

Beth said...

This is such a gorgeous card, I love the cute banners! Thanks for the chance to win these Die-Namics! I'd have to say my fave MFT product is either the By the Letters dies or the Fishtail Banner Stax - it's too close to call! ;-)

Love Beth xx

zehra said...

This is an awesome card, happy anniversary, what I love at MFT is always my flowers, but lately I am in love with the sentiments, I have found a card is great but becomes fabulous when you have the right sentiments on it, by the way love the birthday sentiments MFT has released, gorgeous.

Alanna said...

My favorite product is probably the fishtails stash die-namics. I absolutely love their shape. Thanks for the chance to win.

Jill Norwood said...

Is it possible to pick just one item as a favorite from MFT? All right...I guess it would be the tiniest rolled rose die for me...I just love making these from felt and placing them on various projects or making pins from them for Breast Cancer 3 days for my friends that are walking.

veronica said...

I love MFT dies! they are perfect! they always cut thru the first time! i love that!!

stampingbowd said...

Oh my gosh!!! This has to be the BEST blog candy ever!!!! I am a fairly new stamper with a small budget so I have to say that my first die-namic purchase (First Place Ribbon)was and still is a wonderfully versatile tool!!! So far my FAVORITE die-namic though is the fishtail flags!!! They change any project from "ok" to "WOW".

Heather Rogers said...

What a beautiful card Joanne. I love the sweet banner and pink papers. :)

Can I say that all my MFT dies are my favorite? If I have to pick one I would say it is my new Royal Rose die. Love it!

Hugs~

Karen McAlpine said...

All time favorite would have to be the Pure Innocence line of stamps. I just love the sweet images and find that they are great for all my cards.

Megan McDonald said...

My Fav would have to be the trio of flowers die, such a simple die that you can use in so many different ways.

redstampinsam said...

My all time favorite thing from MFT is the Love-a-saurus stamp with the little boy wearing a dinosaur costume. It puts a smile on my face every time I see it because it reminds me of my own little boy ( now a 22 year old in college) and the dinosaur costume he inherited from his two older nephews that he loved so much he wore it for three Halloweens! He only passed it on to a younger nephew when he finally could no longer get into it. The stamp captures such a precious time in my life!

Marcy L said...

My favorite mft are the rolled roses dies!!!!!! They are so versatile from matching paper to felt to coffee filters to whatever your heart desires! Whoever came up with this idea should be given some kind of an award for GENIUS!

mewTilman said...

My favorite from MFT is definitely the Die-namics! My newest is "Your Just My Type" or hexagons--but I love them all. Great card, love the banner. Thanks for a chance to win!

Victoria H. said...

What a cute card! I adore all the MFT products that I have gotten but my favorite is the dies. The tools charms are too cute, the sentiment banners fit nearly any sentiment, the wave die looks so cute with the PI surfers, and just so much more.
