My Favorite Things Release Replay | May 2017

Hello and welcome to the Release Replay post for the May 2017 release from My Favorite Things. We're creating more cards and projects today using the products that were released last week as part of the May release.

For my card, I decided to use the new Square Peek-a-Boo Window Die-namics along with the new Square Shaker Pouches to create a shaker aquarium on my card.


I first cut the square shape from my white cardstock panel and then I used an ink blending tool and Peacock Feathers Distress ink to add blue to the panel to look like water. I also added the same ink to another panel and stamped some seaweed from the Exquisite Ocean and Mermazing stamp sets for the inside of the shaker.

I stamped a turtle and a fish from the Mermazing stamp set as well, coloured them and cut them out with my scissors. I glued them onto the background panel so they would remain still in the shaker card.


I added a square shaker into the top panel and then I added a few clear sequins before adhering the two panels together. I love how it looks like an aquarium in the middle of the card. I stamped the sentiment directly under the shaker square and I adhered the finished panel to a Grout Gray card base.

You can see more ideas from the design team using the newest release over on the MFT Stamps blog.

Thanks for stopping by!

My Favorite Things New Product Launch | May 2017

Hello and welcome to the New Product Launch for the May 2017 release from My Favorite Things. We've been sharing projects and cards all week featuring the new products and everything is now available in the MFT Stamps online store! Yay!! ;)

For my card tonight, I'm featuring the new Stitched Oval Word Windows Die-namics along with the Exquisite Ocean and More Essential Sentiments stamp sets. I love how perfectly the sentiments fit within the oval windows.


I first diecut three of the medium Oval Word Windows from the center of a white cardstock panel and then I stamped some of the greenery and flowers from the Exquisite Ocean stamp set all around the window openings.

Once I had all of the stamping done, I added some detail to the leaves and flowers with a white gel pen and I positioned it over another panel so I could stamp the sentiments in the openings.


I stamped the sentiments onto the second panel through the openings and then I added the top panel to the bottom one with foam adhesive for some added dimension. Once it was adhered, I added the entire piece to a top folding Grout Gray card base.

Make sure to head over to the MFT Stamps blog for more fun ideas using the new products and for a chance to win some prizes!

My Favorite Things May Release Countdown | Day 1

Hello and welcome to day 1 of the My Favorite Things May release countdown! Over the next five days we'll be sharing peeks at all of the new products with various cards and projects using the new stamps and Die-namics and my new favourite stencil! ;)

For my card today I went with a bright rainbow look using the new Bold Stripes Cover-Up Die-namics. Creating a rainbow inked panel is so fun and easy with Distress inks and really makes an impact on the overall card design.


I added all of the inks to a white cardstock panel in rainbow order and made sure to blend into the next colour as I went so I didn't have an harsh lines in the inking. Once I had the panel completely inked up, I added water to it and dabbed it off with a paper towel to give it a distressed look and then I ran it through my die-cutting machine with the Bold Stripes Cover-Up.

I kept all of the pieces and put them onto my card base, but I added the diecut rectangles first, added a piece of vellum over them and then adhered the main diecut panel on top. This muted the lines under the vellum and made the top portion really stand out.


I used the new More Essential Sentiments stamp set to add a bunch of mixed sentiments onto the card front and then I added some clear sequins to complete the card design.

Make sure to head over to the MFT blog today (and all week) to see all of the new products and more samples using them from the design team. All of the new products will officially be available in the MFT online store tonight at 9pm EST! 

See you tonight for the release!!

My Favorite Things May Release Countdown | Day 2

Hello and welcome to day 2 of the My Favorite Things May release countdown! Over the next five days we'll be sharing peeks at all of the new products with various cards and projects using the new stamps and Die-namics and my new favourite stencil! ;)

For today's card, I used the new Giraffing me Crazy stamp set along with the Safari Tree Die-namics to create a little safari scene.


I got a little adventurous with my giraffe image and ended up cutting him apart to make him even bigger than he already was. I stretched my dies, literally lol!!

I created this card for this weeks episode of MFTv so if you head over to the MFT Stamps YouTube channel you'll be able to see how I created it from start to finish. It was so much fun to make and I love the cluster of elements within the inked circle. Definitely one of my favourite card designs since I love the look of white space.


To create the tree and the inked background circle I used Distress inks with a lit of water on the tree pieces to give it a distressed look.

Make sure to head over to the MFT blog today (and all week) to see all of the new products and more samples using them from the design team. All of the new products will officially be available in the MFT online store on Tuesday May 2nd at 9pm EST! 

See you tomorrow for more countdown fun!!
