I am so excited to introduce you to this months new sets & Die-namics!  I know I get excited every month, but this month I mean it more than ever!  Every set and every die is just amazing!  YIPPEE!!!  I love it when that happens.

I am going to go briefly over all the new sets and Die-namics, but everything for the release is conveniently located (aren’t we thoughtful?) under Brand Spankin’ New!

*We have a couple of new products I’d like to introduce, Embellie Jellie and Best Glue Ever.  I received my first shipment of these in early this week, and once I played with both, I immediately re-ordered.  The Embellie Jellie is perfect for use with Die-namics to assist with paper removal, and to pick up crystals and small pieces of paper as well as other embellishments.  Plus it’s housed in a super cute pink box!  Best Glue Ever appears to be just that!  I’ve created a few projects with it and am in LOVE!  Seriously.  I love the fine tip that allows out just the right amount of glue.  I also love that there’s no glue residue peeking out from behind my paper.  It keeps my projects clean and beautiful!

*This month we have14 new stamp sets!

*Our Sept. Triple Scoop is Clearly Sentimental about Books.  You must meet all the requirements listed to take this set home, but most importantly you MUST add it to your cart!

*The Striped Twill Ribbons are absolutely TDF!!  Oh this is way yummy ribbon….swoon!

*There are 4 new Die-namics dies available this month, including two so innovative and unique I created videos to demo them!

*We are introducing a Neutral Baby Braddies Collection featuring Black, Brown, White and Cream.  Uh huh.  Amazing.

Since you’ll just HAVE to see it all, check out the Brand Spankin’ New category and spend some time acquainting yourself with all that’s new.

*On a side note, we have LOTS of Felt, Pure Innocence and Die-namics back in stock as well. (And since we offer free US shipping over $55, now’s a great time to treat yourself!)

For my hop project, I chose to make a MINI album using the Perfect Bracket Edge Die-namics, and many other Die-namics as well.  Can you spy them all?  I cut out two pieces of cardboard and edges them with the Perfect Bracket Edge.  Then edged four pieces of cardstock so I could cover the covers inside and out.  Make sense?  On the inside, I printed out the School Collection Notebook Digi Papers and then trimmed them to fit inside my book.  I have 10 sheets of paper in there now, but can easily add more when I run out!

I am going to use this journal as an intention or goal journal so I can keep track of things I am working on and the goals I set.  And it’s not even the New Year yet!  Yay me!  I used a crop-a-dile to create the holes so I can play around with pages as I need to replenish/refill.

I chose a sentiment from Clearly Sentimental about Harvesting that I LOVE.  It says “Don’t judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds that you plant”.  Isn’t that beautiful!  And such a good reminder to stay focused…  Does anyone else have trouble with that?  Or is it just me?

Here are some photos of the book completed, it’s a bit hard to capture since it’s so tall, but for such a simple project I am quite pleased!  And since it was super simple, guess what my girlfriends are getting for Christmas??  Uh huh.  Yep.

Next up on this amazing Hop & Shop is BARBARA and I KNOW she has something amazing in store!  (Doesn’t she always??)  Thanks so much for making release week such a fun and special time for me, and I’ll see you on the Hop!

It’s TIME!  Come join us for the September Release Party as we celebrate all the new sets and Die-namics.  There will be fun, friendship and freebies, so grab a drink and come hang out with your MFT Family!

I LOVE all three sets in today’s FREEZE Frames, and I KNOW you will too! How do I know? Easy! They are all amazing, and I’ve seen what the DT has done behind the scenes with them. SWOON.

But first, here’s the 411:

• - The Guest Designer Challenge WINNER will be posted tonight during the Release Party.
• - The Release Party begins on Sept. 1st at 8pm EST.  Grab a drink and join the gals for a TON of fun!
• - New Sets and Die-namics go live on Sept. 1st at 10pm EST. They will all be in our Brand Spankin’ New Category.

First up is Well Read. You may recognize this set from our most recent VIP Kit, and from the number of comments and emails I’ve received on this set, everyone is in love!

This set has THE most amazing sentiments ever, if I do say so myself! And a whopping 7 of them!

Flopsey is back this month enjoying the breeze in the air and relaxing while taking in the great outdoors in Flopsey Flies a Kite. The kite and Flopsey are two separate images so you can place them as closely together or as far away as you please. There are also 3 sentiments that are out of this world!

Clearly Sentimental about Books is the September Triple Scoop set and the only way you’ll get it is by purchasing 3 full sized sets ($15.95 or higher). (Remember, the Triple Scoop set needs to be added to your cart as a product in order for you to receive it!) There are 7 amazing and inspiring sentiments within this set and it is truly a must have whether you are a book lover or not!

Today’s Die-namic preview is one that will leave you BREATHLESS.  Completely.  Speechless.  Meet the Notebook Edge.

Sigh.  Swoon.  <3.  The Notebook Edge is 6″ in length and creates the look of having ripped your paper or card stock right out of the binder, complete with a WORKING perforation!  See why I’m sighing….

Finally, I am SURE you all are excited to find out the winners from yesterday’s teasers posts.  As you know, each day we choose two designers posts and randomly choose a name from each one.  Those two commenters will each win one of the new stamp sets that will be released on September 1st.

Next up is the Die-namics preview I am MOST excited about!  Meet the Perfect Bracket Edge:

What makes it perfect?  Well, for starters, you can create a custom edge on papers, thin chipboard, acetate, felt and fabric in multiple sizes using ONE DIE.  How does that work?  The Perfect Bracket Edge is 6″ long.  It creates the edge you see above along a 6″ strip of paper (or other material).

But what if your panel is less than 6″?  We believe we have created the FIRST edge die on the market to create a different edge pattern on FOUR (4) sizes of paper!  Yep!  The die is designed to create a different edge depending on your paper size, and has specifically been developed to best work with papers sized at 6″, 5.5″, 4.25″ and 3.5″.  FANFLIPPINTASTIC is what this die is.

I am working on a Die-namics video that will illustrate ALL the goodness this die offers, so look for it tomorrow!

Finally, I am SURE you all are excited to find out the winners from yesterday’s teasers posts.  As you know, each day we choose two designers posts and randomly choose a name from each one.  Those two commenters will each win one of the new stamp sets that will be released on September 1st.

The first winner was chosen from Jessies’s blog, and here is what she had to say:

Nancy Thomas said… I love the honeybee color scheme – such a happy feeling card. It just makes you smile!

The second winner was chosen from Lisa’s blog, and here is what she had to say:

Wyatt is a Conductor this month, and even though I don’t have boys, I know several that are completely into trains and this set is PERFECT for them! It comes with 3 connecting train images and 3 sentiments that are so stinkin’ cute I can barely stand it!

Emma Plays Mommy captures the moment that most every little girl experiences, the dream of being a Mommy. With a baby buggy and bottle she’s ready to go in her pearls (and obviously Mommy’s shoes). She also comes complete with 3 sentiments that are the sweetest ever!

KelliJo said…I’m SO stinkin HAPPY WITH MYSELF!!!!! LOL I did the SAME mounting with the die on a sympathy card, wondered if it looked right and YEP! Cuz YOU did it too and we all know YOU ARE SMARRRRRT!!!!!!   Hugs Friend!!!

I can NOT believe how quickly this year is flying by, can you??? It’s almost time to start thinking about fall and the weather change and HALLOWEEN! I am so exited to share today’s previews with you. I am previewing 3 new sets that will be releasing on September 1st. And can you think of a better way to end up Labor Day than with new stamps? I can’t!

First up I have to show off Tiny Town Halloween, the newest set from Stephanie Fizer. There are SO many pieces and parts to this set, all sized just perfectly for treat bags, tags. In fact, many of these images and sentiments will fit perfectly inside Framed Greetings. Instant cuteness! And I mean instant. Imagine little tags for treat bags and candy bags made with toppers featuring this set. Oh I can’t WAIT!

But first, here’s the 411:

• - Teasers officially begin today!  Each day at 11am EST there will be direct links on the MFT Blog for the Team Members with samples for that day. REMEMBER to leave a comment on EACH blog for a chance to win!

Tiny Town Halloween comes with 10 images and 6 sentiments and a sidewalk line so your Trick or Treaters can head down the road in Tiny Town. These images are much smaller than what you’d normally see from MFT, and were designed that way for quick, simple and sweet creations.

Next up is a LONG requested Wendy Alphabet set. If you were lucky enough to grab one in your VIP Collection, you already know how incredible it is. And the fun thing about alphabet sets is that you always need more than one of a set!

Clearly Sentimental about Harvesting was last months Triple Scoop set, and is now being released on its own. It comes complete with 7 uber versatile sentiments whether you are into gardening or not, these sentiments are perfect for all occasion cards and will be enjoyed by everyone who needs an inspiring lift up!

And since we have 5 new Die-namics for you this month, I’m going to preview one each Teaser day!  How nice am I??? Meet the Rounded Banner Trio Die!  This die coordinates beautifully with the Wendy Alphabet set we are releasing, as well as Banner Day Alphabet. This is a one piece die that cuts 3 parts which layer for a beautiful rounded banner for $9.95.  MELT my heart!
