MFT Teasers Day 3 - Clearly Sentimental

Hello!! Welcome to the third day of teasers for the My Favorite Things May release. Today the design team is featuring Clearly Sentimental about Anniversaries (the current Triple Scoop set which will be available for regular purchase beginning on Tuesday) and Clearly Sentimental about Art, the newest Triple Scoop set available for May.  Clearly Sentimental about Art will be available beginning May 1st at 10 pm EST for FREE with a $60 purchase!!  How fantastic is that? :)  I have a double feature for you today - a card for each set :)  Here is my card showcasing a fun sentiment from Clearly Sentimental about Anniversaries.

Hee, Hee!  Love this sentiment!!  This will be a perfect card for my hubby :)  The layout is a previous iSpy Sketch (ISSC12).  I kept this card minimally layered and fairly simple on a Kraft card base - perfect for a guy.  The flags were cut from patterned paper from On the Bright Side One using the Fishtail Flags STAX Die-namics.  The sentiment was stamped on a Fishtail Flag, too.  Tara inspired me to be daring and extend an element off the card!!!  Because really do any of my cards ever really "fit" in an envelope anyways?  LOL.  The burlap heart was cut with the smaller of the hearts in the Layered Heart Die-namics and the denim heart (from my son's worn jeans) using the largest heart from Hearts a Plenty Die-namics.  Here is the inside with more Fishtail Flags and another denim heart.

My next card is entirely different from the first.  For this card I used Clearly Sentimental about Art and the new Artist Palette & Brush Die-namics - which is sooo cool!!

The papers are the London Market paper pad from Pink Paislee.  The layout is MFTWSC69, rotated 90°.  The sentiment is stamped on a rectangle cut using the new Rectangle STAX Die-namics.  I used both sets 1 and 2 to layer the sentiment and the large rectangle and it's black licorice mat were also cut with the Rectangle STAX Die-namics.  These sets will make perfect layering so easy!!  To finish the front, I added some black crochet trim and tied a bow with ivory satin horizontal stripe ribbon from The Ribbon Carousel.  Here is another look.

I chose some muted colors of cardstock for the paints, coating with liquid glass for a wet look.  I used lots of foam tape and Jody boosters to layer the elements of this card.  Here is the inside with another new Die-namics - Vertical Greetings II.  A second sentiment from Clearly Sentimental about Art was stamped on the oval from Sweet Stack Labels Die-namics. 

Here are the Die-namics I used today.
