It's time for the MFT and Friends feature on the MFT blog. Today MFT design team and some fabulous guests are sharing more projects featuring the most recent release. 

I made a fun interactive card using the Sassy Santa stamp set & Die-namics along with the Double Slider Loop Slots Die-namics.

When the tab on the top is pulled up, Santa goes down into the chimney.

The story doesn't end here. It continues to the inside. ;)

Watch the video below to see how I made this card. Click HERE if you prefer watching on YouTube.

It's time for a Tips & Tricks feature over at the MFT blog. Today I'd like to share a few ideas for using the Perfect Poinsettia Die-namics. 

I know that red poinsettia is the most popular in the winter holiday season. But I like white poinsettias and pink poinsettias, too. While red ones are gorgeous and have a huge impact, white ones look elegant and pink ones are so pretty. Right?

Here I used patterned paper to get a casual look. I also added a little bow and a sequin to the center. These could be a cute accent on a gift wrapping for children.

For the left one, I cut a couple of petal pieces out of Primitive Cream CS that I stamped the Christmas Background with Antique Linen Distress Ink. I distressed the edges of the petals with Tea Dye Distress Ink and added some Champagne Stickles to the center. After I assembled the poinsettia, I added Fresh Snowfall Glitter Accents for a frosty effect.

For the right one, I die cut the petals out of Wild Cherry CS and inked the edges with Vintage Photo Distress Ink. It adds a more dimensional look to the flower.

The links to the other products used are below at the bottom of this blog post.

I made a short video showing how I shaped a poinsettia. Actually, I thought that I should have done valley folds on the petals for more realistic look after seeing all the fabulous creations by the DT. But I decided to share this anyway because I think this technique works for any other die cut flowers. (Click HERE to watch the video on YouTube.)

Hello! Today I popped in to share a card with you that I made for this week's MFT Wednesday Sketch Challenge (MFT WSC406).

I twisted the original sketch a little - turned the rectangle elements into circles.

I used the Circle Trio Shaker Window & Frame Die-namics to make the openings. The little scenes behind the kitties were made by stenciling and ink blending, using the Grassy Edges Stencil. I also added the flowers from the Love You Furever stamp set.

The kitties were stamped on X-Press It Blending Card with Hot Fudge Hybrid Ink, colored with Copics, and cut out with the matching dies. I put them into each cell after adhering the top panel with foam tape.

The sentiment was heat embossed on Coral Crush panel cut with a strip die from the Hearts in a Row - Vertical Die-namics.
