MFT September Card Kit Countdown | Day 1


Hello and welcome back! Today is the second day of the countdown to the new My Favorite Things September card kit called Filled with Joy. I love holiday products and was so excited to start my holiday cardmaking with this kit! This new kit will be available on September 25th at 10am EDT.

For my cards today I wanted to create a shaker element in the center of the word Joy using the Circle Trio Shaker pouches that are included in the kit. To create a single shaker all you need to do is trim the circle trio apart into separate pieces - so you actually get enough pouches to create 30 shaker elements.

I wanted to create a Christmas Tree shape with my die cuts and stamping, so I turned the 'o' in joy into an ornament and layered the other elements around it. I'm sharing this card in today's MFTv video so head over to our YouTube channel (link in sidebar) if you want to check that out.
 

For my second card, I created a shaker element as well, but I completed changed up the design and stamped the Joy sentiment on the top and bottom of my panel and then added the die cut Joy word to the center.

I used the snowman head to cut a circle opening and added the shaker pouch inside and filled it with a fun winter mix of sequins. I wanted to add an additional sentiment, so I stamped it onto a black card stock strip, and then I adhered over the joy word at the top.

I wanted to keep the card somewhat monochromatic, so I added the finished panel to a Sno Cone card base to match one of my ink colours.

Make sure to head over to the MFT blog for more ideas using this month's kit and join me back here tomorrow for the release party! Thanks for stopping by!

Shaker cards are always fun and I love the shaker cup--shaker element so much. It also adds a bunch of shininess to the cards. Good job.
