MFT September Card Kit Countdown | Day 2


Hello and welcome back! Today is the first 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 first card, I really wanted to use the snowman included in the Filled with Joy dies as well as the gorgeous black velvet paper.

I first created the blue background by adding some Prima watercolors to a watercolor panel and then I let it dry. While it was drying, I diecut the word joy twice from white card stock and coloured in the j and y with both red and green inks. I then layered them onto the panel when it was dry and offset them to create a fun shadow.

I cut out all of the snowman pieces from white card stock, and I coloured in the accessories with my Copic markers.

Once I had everything coloured, I assembled the snowman and added some foam adhesive under his hat for a bit of dimension. To complete the card, I added some clear sequins with clear Stickles added to the center.

Make sure to head over to the MFT blog for the full kit reveal and join me back here tomorrow for another card using the new Filled with Joy card kit. Thanks for stopping by!
