My Favorite Things Snow Globe Card Kit!

Hello and welcome back! Today is the first day of the countdown for the My Favorite Things September card kit and I am so excited to share my cards with you over the next two days. I love holiday card making and this holiday themed kit is perfect for all kinds of winter and holiday card designs.

For my first card, I created a scenic snow globe card that extends right across the entire card front and not just inside the snow globe.


I created my snowy landscape so it would be continuous across the card both inside and outside of the snow globe. I'm sharing the creation of this card in today's episode of MFTv so make sure to check it out to see how easy it is to create this beautiful scene.

 

Make sure to check out the MFT blog for the full kit reveal and a ton of great card samples from the design team using this month's kit.

See you tomorrow for more countdown fun!

My Favorite Things September Release Replay

Hello and welcome back. Today the MFT design team is sharing more projects using the awesome new September release products.

For my card today I used the Modern Trees stamp set and paired it with an older sentiment stamp set that I love and definitely don't use enough.


I stamped the trunk of my tree with Versamark ink onto watercolour paper and then I heat embossed it with Ranger Brick embossing powder. I love how realistic this embossing powder makes the wood on the tree look. 

I then stamped the tree top with Distress inks and added some water to the stamped images with a wet paintbrush. I did the multi coloured stamping by adding a little of each ink colour to the stamp before stamping it. 


I stamped the sentiment in black under the tree and covered it with clear embossing powder for some added shine. I added a bit of blue colour behind the tree and then I finished the card with some yellow sequins and gold stickles.

You can see what the rest of the team created by visiting the MFT blog here. Thanks so much for stopping by today! :)

My Favorite Things September Release Party!

Hello and welcome back! It's time to shop for the new September release products at My Favorite Things! All of the new products are now available at MFT Stamps and there are so many fun new stamps and dies!

For the release party I created 3 very bright cards with some really great sentiments from the new All Smiles stamp set and the Double the Smiles Die-namics.


I created all of these stenciled backgrounds on the weekend with the intention of adding the smile sentiments to them in different ways. I stamped the word smile all over the brick background, keeping the stamping on each brick and trying to create a graffiti look to it. I adhered it to a white card stock mat and then added it to a black card base.

For the scallop background I stamped my sentiment onto black card stock with Versamark ink and heat embossed it with white embossing powder. I then trimmed it down and adhered it the card before adhering the entire panel to a white card base.


I kept the Framework background super simple and just added the big die cut smile word right to the center. I completed all of them by adding Ice Cube Jewels to the card fronts in a random formation.

My Favorite Things September Release Countdown - Day 2

Hello and welcome back. It's day 2 of the My Favorite Things September release countdown and today I have two cards to share using the new Modern Trees stamp set. I love this set because there are so many fun deisgns and techniques you can do with it since its a layering stamp set.

I created two cards showing the four seasons on each of the cards using two different designs and two different inking techniques.


I used the Stitched Square STAX Die-namics on both of my cards to create individual sqaures for each of the seasons.  For the first card I stamped 4 trees changing the leaves for the seasons and on the second card I stamped the tree once in the center of 4 squares that had differnet ink colours to represent the seasons.






I created both of these cards for the September release class so stay tuned tomorrow night for a PDF download of the class along with a video sharing how I created both of my cards.

See you tomorrow for more countdown fun!  :-)

My Favorite Things September Release Countdown | Day 3

Hello and welcome back! It's day 3 of the countdown to the My Favorite Things September release and I have a few cards to share that use one of my favourite releases from this month, the Blessing and Blessed Die-namics.


I used a couple of older backgrounds (Wavy Coloring Book and Garden Flourish) and heat embossed them onto a white card stock panel with white embossing powder. I then added Distress inks using one of my favourite holiday colour combinations - Peacock Feathers, Festive Berries and Lucky Clover. 


I created four backgrounds, and added the same ink colours to all four. I then added some water to give them a distressd look before trimming them down and adding them to a white card base. I stamped the Christmas part of the sentiment using a stamp from the new Bitty Bears stamp set onto black card stock and embossed it with white embossing powder.


I diecut the word 'blessings' from white card stock 4 times and adhered them all to vellum. I then carefully cut around the vellum to leave a border around the word and then I adhered the sentiments to the card design to complete them. 


I created these cards for tomorrowa episode of MFTv so stay tuned to the MFT YouTube channel if you want to see them created from start to finish. :-) 

See you tomorrow for more countdown fun!

My Favorite Things September Release Countdown | Day 4

Hello and welcome to day 4 of the countdown to My Favorite Things September Release. There are so many fall themed products this month, beautiful scripty words and the most adorable bitty bears ever from Birdie Brown. :-)

For today's card, I used the new Bitty Bears stamp set (and coordinating Die-namics) and created a rainbow themed card with a bunch of the same bear image holding a balloon.


I stamped all of the bears onto white card stock and coloured them all in with Copic markers. I used the same grey colour for all of the bears and then I coloured their balloon for each colour of the rainbow.

Once I had everything coloured, I die cut them all with the coordinating dies and then I created the background panel for my card. To do that I cut a white panel from the Blueprints 13 die set and then I die cut the Stitched Rainbow right in the center. I left the rainbow inlaid in the background and adhered the whole panel to a Grout Gray card base.


I stamped the sentiment in the balloons that the bears are holding by stamping each word one at a time and then I adhered all of the bears to the card. I finished it by adding some clear sequins scattered on the card front.

You can see more ideas for the new September release products on the MFT blog here. See you tomorrow for more countdown fun!

My Favorite Things Sketch #348

Hello and welcome to my post for the weekly MFT sketch challenge. I love this week's sketch because it has straight edges and a clean and simple design. I always feel so inspired by these types of sketches because there are so many great ideas you can incorporate with them.

I decided to go glitz and glam for this week's card and use a sparkly gold, black, and white colour scheme. I usually go for silver but every once in awhile I love to play with gold... especially if it's glittery! ;-)


I decided to have the main element on my card on the right side and rather than have an actual rectangle panel, I filled that space with the wine bottle and wine glass from the Wine Service Die-namics. I cut the wine bottle directly from the card panel and turned that into a shaker filled with gold, silver and clear sequins and goodies.

I added the wine glass cut from gold sparkle card stock and then I die cut and added the Cheers sentiment. I finished the card by adding sequins scattered around the card front (similar to the sketch) and added the black and white patterned paper and gold glitter strip at the bottom.

Make sure the head over to the MFT challenge blog to take part in the sketch challenge - you could be the random winner of a $50 GC to MFT Stamps!

Thanks for stopping by! :-)
