It's Party Day at MFT! Let's get revved up for release time!!!

 We have made it to Release Day!  Are you SO excited???!!!!  This month's release has just been AMAZING!  I have SO enjoyed being a part of it!  Thank you MFT for inviting me!!!!  I have had a blast stamping and creating special projects!  For a complete listing for today's participants, please visit Kim's Blog!

Our challenge today is to highlight the newest Die-namics.  And to use them in ways one might not think to use them.  Well, if you are a regular to my blog, you know that I am always thinking beyond the norm.  Once again, I have created 2 unique ways to use the Oval Open Scallop Doily!  Some of you might already have this, as it was part of the VIP kit offered earlier this month (last month!).  If so, break it out and start using it!  It is one of THE most awesome doilies that MFT has come out with!  LOVE the oval shape!  It makes a perfect background panel, as you've seen the DT use in their card samples.  But, today, I have two new uses for them!

First up, a sunshiny card for anyone who is feeling blue.  This will surely brighten their day!  When I took the picture, I didn't even need to use a flash!  Hahaha!  Are you laughing???!!!! ;D

 I took a piece of white paper and die cut it w/ the Oval Open Scallop Doily Die-namics.  I sprayed it w/ Gingersnap Smooch Spray to get that speckled look.  Then, I adhered it to the kraft cardstock.  I used a ruler to make the rays of sunshine, and a paper piercer.  I sewed the lemondrop twine from MFT to make each ray of sunshine.  Once I finished that, I felt that the sun just wasn't good enough.  So, I sewed rosettes along the inside holes to finish it.  I used the Banner Die to create the sentiment, and Wendy Alpha.  I sewed rosettes w/ the same twine on the banner to match the sun.

 Here you can see a closer look at the sewing and speckled sun.

The second card that I created is a bouquet of flowers, using the Inspired By Flowers Set #4 that was featured on Day 2! The Oval Open Scallop Doily Die-namics is the white bouquet holding the flowers together. I used the Framed Greetings Die-namics for a panel on the front and inside to write a little note.
For the flowers, I stamped them in Memento Black, colored them w/ Copics, and cut them out.  Then, I took my mouse pad and a stylus and curved the edges of the petals to give some dimension.

I die cut the Fancy Flourishes  & Leafy Flourish to create "leaves" and just add some pizazz to the bouquet!  I adhered everything on a piece of acetate.

 Here you can see a better view of the doily.  What I did was cut from one side to the middle, and then made a cone and glued it in place.  I used pieces of Fancy Flourishes for the stems to keep the flowers above and over the doily.

And so now you have learned 2 NEW ways to use your Oval Open Scallop Doily!  Because it WILL be yours!  You KNOW you have to get one, if you don't already have one!  Don't miss the boat!!!!!  Grab it tonight at the release!
