Summer is drawing to a
close and school starts in just about a few days. There are so many exciting
things going on right now! It's also MFT Teaser Time...and for a debut of
some on my new stamps. This month I get to offer you TWO new, fun sets!
Here are some details...
Primitive Pumpkins ($23.95) - A rustic, primitive style
Halloween/Pumpkin stamp set and Die-namics combo. This set features three
unique pumpkins and several accent images, all with their own primitive, folksy flair!
Useful sentiments and a fun, funky star garland image are also part of this
versatile set. Check out the handy graphics to see all of the images and dies
in this combo!

Distressed Diamonds ($15.95) - A simple, elegant diamond
background set that features three strips of diamonds with a touch of
distressing. There is a large and small group strip and a single strip of
medium diamonds. This set is a must have
set because of the extreme versatility!

On to the stamping!
Here is the first card I
created with this set. Folksy and classic primitive Halloween!

The pumpkins from
Primitive Pumpkins are stamped in three different colors while the accent stars
float around. Distressed Diamonds is used to create the background paper.
I had fun choosing a cute
sentiment for this set.

Each pumpkin and star is
unique in its own way. The wonky dot one might just be my favorite though. The
bottom portion of the top layers is actually a die cut of the scalloped border
die that has been stamped and adhered under the real top layer. The seam is
hidden with the twine.
The inside has some of the
design elements that follow over from the front.

The Halloween Garland
image is fun because it was created to give a sense of motion. I chose to use a
die cut of the pumpkin for the inside to add some contrast.
Next is a softer card that
could be used for a fall card too.

I used the same small diamond strip from Distressed Diamonds to decorate
the Peek-A-Boo Trio Die-namics.

Each pumpkin is inked with a green and orange before stamping. The
little vine images are a fun touch to add some movement too.

The inside reflects the
exterior design. I included a single image in Primitive Pumpkins that has all
three pumpkins in a trio. This is a fun little image for SO many things.
Perfect for treat bag too!
Lastly, a pastel
Halloween Birthday card!

You might be wondering
who would want one of these... Well… my Hannah has a fall birthday and LOVES
Halloween! She had so many Halloween Birthday parties growing up. I will never
think of that holiday and not think of her!
The sentiment is stamped
and embossed on a new Jumbo Fishtail Banner STAX die cut. I threaded some twine
into the top for a decorative element.

The background paper is
stamped with the largest of the Distressed Diamonds strips.
I love the leafy flourish
die because of the elegance and flow it lends to my projects.

There is a new picket
fence die that I used here too. I stamped it with the wood grain image from the
By the Numbers stamp set and embossed it. We have a little white picket
fence that inspired me to do that.
Well, that wraps up my
projects for today’s post. I hope that you’ve enjoyed the projects. I know I
concentrated on Halloween projects for today’s post… but I hope that you will
get a sense of how versatile
Distressed Diamonds is too. Today the MFT Team is
