Tonight is the MFT Die-namics Feature! I've got several projects to share....

Here is a card showing some fun felt hearts from Rustic Hearts... and some of the image from Homespun Hearts and Hearts & Stitches!

I love how this shape looks with felt. I wanted to keep the lines clean and continue the sewing style with the buttons layer over the stitching area too.

This card could be stepped up by hand stitching around the heart edges. But... I like to keep things simple.

The inside reflects the front... just not with felt.

I've got a few more pillow boxes using the Square Pillow Box Die-namics to share today. They didn't want to be photographed together... the colors were totally thrown off in photoshop... so each one is separate.

The Love version... in Blu Rspberry.

Each pillow box was die cut, stamped then die cut to trim the heart out of center. Clear acetate was then adhered to the inside of the box before closing and adhering the box's side flap.

The Be Mine one in Sour Apple...(holding sour apple candy too!)

and the Friends one in Lemon Drop.

Each box was stamped with a heart strip image from Hearts & Stitches and has a mini heart stamped and hand trimmed from Homespun Hearts for a little more embellishment. I'm glad that Costco has a big bag of HiChew available. Now if I can package them all before I eat them... that IS the trick!

I wanted to add that I used the metal adapter plate to get great embossing lines with the . I actually fold and use a bone folder to make sure the side and flap a smooth then adhere with Score-Tape. After that is when I will close the top and bottom flaps.

Here is what I used in today's post...
