MFT Wednesday Stamp Club: Alter it!!!

Good evening everyone!  I received my MFT VIP kit yesterday, and could not wait to ink it up!  This weeks challenge was to do an altered project.  Honestly, I'm not positive this counts since I made it from scratch... but crossing my fingers!  This was a good opportunity to use the Bind it All as well.  There's only so many things one can bind :)   I'm super excited about this project because I feel like I'm progressing along nicely as a paper crafter.  It's my favorite project thus far.

The project is a Post-it note holder- created as a Birthday Present for my friend Frederique.  The good news is she doesn't read my blog! (Or I don't think she does).

Stamps: Lovin From the Oven (MFT) 

Paper: Basic Grey Nook and Pantry, Baja Breeze, Hot Fudge 

Ink: Memento Rich Cocoa, Copics 

Accessories: MFT ribbon, button, dimensionals, bind-it-all

Techniques: EF, Nesties, sponging, paper piecing     

 Here's the inside cover:

Early Morning Stamping!

I woke up at 4:40 this morning and said, why don't I make a card before work?!   I may be a little bit crazy.  Occasionally coworkers will ask me to make a card for anothers birthday- inevitably the news comes one day in advance.   So, a male birthday card seemed appropriate this morning as they are the most difficult to conjure up at a moments notice.

Supplies:
Cardstock: Not Quite Navy (SU), Kraft (SU), Chocolate (mft)
Stamps: Wanted (SU), Happy Birthday c1257 (CTMH)
Accessories: Eyelets(We R Memory Keepers), Cuttlebug Embossing folders.
