A Musical Day

Hi there and welcome to the last day of MFT Teaser Time.  In 22 short hours, all the fantastic stamp sets you've seen over the past 5 days will be available for sale.

Today, we are featuring the soon-to-be-released stamp sets Who's that Musical Girl and Clearly Sentimental about Music.  I have a card using each of the sets.

First up, a pink, kraft, and black creation using Who's that Musical Girl?.


WTG in a circle is SO fun to work with!  She is colored with Copic markers.

I die-cut a piece of sheet music and then stitched it (one stitch at a time).  I added a musical note bling on top of the sheet music.  I went with a more is more on that one... LOL

I used the Dainty Lace Border to add a pop of elegance.

I finished off the inside as well.  I used the musical notes from the stamp set and stamped a sentiment over them.  I added a piece of patterned paper to tie it all together, and another musical note bling. (Hobby Lobby)


While I had all the fun papers and embellishments out and on my desk, I decided to make a coordinating card using Clearly Sentimental about Music.  It was just such a fun combination of goodies to use.  :)  I love the new font used for this stamp set.  Very fresh and neat.

A couple weeks ago my friend, Lisa Henke, used just a strip of ribbon on half of her card, and I wanted to give it a try.  :)  I used some yummy new ribbon I bought at a LSS.  It is pleated grosgrain by Maya Road.  LOVE it!

I stitched around the oval one stitch at a time. 


I used some sheet music patterned paper as almost an embellishment by punching and matting them.

Gotta love the $1 crystal packs from Michaels.  I love the dainty little swirls.
