My Favorite Things Teaser Time - CSS Romance and Pearls Of Wisdom

Hello my fellow MFT fans and friends!  So glad to be with you again today for what is sure to be another fierce and fabulous day of Teasers!  Today we are previewing two amazingly beautiful sentiment sets; Clearly Sentimental About Romance (you romantics out there...get ready to swoon!) and Pearls of Wisdom.  The Romance set is the Triple Scoop Set for this month and the Pearls of Wisdom, which was last month's Triple Scoop Set will now be available for purchase when everything is released on Tuesday night, January third.  If you are not familiar with the TSS here are the details:   The Triple Scoop reward is a full-sized stamp set offered to you absolutely FREE with a qualifying purchase of $60 or greater (before shipping and tax). 

All you have to do once you have achieved the minimum of $60 in product is click ADD TO CART (there is a message that pops up telling you that you are eligible) and you're good to go! 

For my creation today, I've used the Clearly Sentimental About Romance set.  I recently purchased a new 6x6 pack from 7gypsies - Lille and it's just so rustic, vintage and sweet!  I went through the entire pack pulling out lots of different styles.  Using the gorgeous new Layered Heart Die-namics, I started by stamping my sentiment onto the patterned paper.  (total swoon) I then threaded the perimeter with red baker's twine.  I matted it with navy cardstock and adhered them together with foam dots.  I layered the background and played a bit but thought it needed "something" in the back so I added a mini-string of banners using the Mini-Pennant Die-namics.  I threaded them with rustic twine and adhered them in place with teeny dots of Glossy Accents. 

I used my Wonky Scallop Border Die-namics (it's a MUST HAVE people...I use it CONSTANTLY!) to accent the bottom of my card front, stitched on with a zig zag stitch and paired with a bit of ivory lace trim.  As a final touch I added two floral stick pins into the foam between my two heart layers.  

My interior carries over the same color scheme and rustic style.  I snipped apart my sentiment so it would fit properly within the newly released last month's Oval Open Scallop Doily Die-namic.  In my travels recently, I picked up a set of the oval Spellbinder's Nestabilities.  The largest of which fits PERFECTLY just inside of the Oval Doily Die-namic.  Kim and her amazing team designs everything just "so" that they work nicely with lots of exterior products that you may happen to have.  It's lovely really!  (smile!)  

 

So as you can see, I stamped my snipped apart sentiment, first the word "heart" in red then the rest in black ink.  To accomplish this I simply used a basic red magic marker that I borrowed from my children's stash (if you must know it was a Mr. Sketch brand cherry scented marker =).  I did not use my Copics as they are permanent and will simply color your stamp and not transfer to your paper so you must used a water based marker in order for this to work.  I then nestled my sentiment oval into my Oval Die-namics and anchored the panel with two red brads.  A bit of stitching and voila!
