My Favorite Things October Release Party!

Hello and welcome to the My Favorite Things October release party! Tonight we're celebrating the release of the new holiday products that we've been sharing all week - all of the new products are in the store and available for purchase! Yay!

For my card tonight I used the new Lip Balm Window & Frame Die-namics along with the previously released Essential Sentiment Rip Strip Die-namics to share how you can create a lip balm project and not have to completely take it apart to get the lip balm out.

I created a winter scene on the front of my card with the Polar Pals stamp set, the Icebergs Die-namics and a sentiment from the Sending Smooches stamp set, stamped onto a Stitched Fishtail Sentiment Strip banner. 

I diecut the Lip Balm Window from the snow area and adhered my Lip Balm pouch inside to hold my coordinating lip balm that I made with patterned paper.

To be able top easily get the lip balm out, I used the Essential Sentiment Rip Strips Die-namics and die cut it into the front of the card base before adhering my panel. Just make sure to die cut it directly under where the lip balm window is. I created a video sharing how I created this card and you can watch it HERE if you want to see how I put the card together.

This is a great way to use the new Lip Balm products on tags and cards and ensure that the project doesn't get wrecked when you're trying to remove the lip balm. :)

I really hope you enjoyed the release projects shared this week and are excited to start holiday crafting! I would love to know what your favourite products from the release are. Happy shopping! :)

My Favorite Things October Release Countdown - Day 1

Hello and welcome to day 1 of the My Favorite Things October release countdown. All of the new products we've been sharing this week will be available tonight at 9pm EST!

For my card today I used the Christmas Cocktails mini stamp set, which is actually a free with purchase set. It has some really fun cocktail glass images and I couldn't wait to ink it up!

I wanted to make the martini glass the focus of the card, so I stamped it onto white card stock with black ink and added a bit of colour to it with some watercolour. I stamped the sentiment from an older stamp set called Hand Lettered Holiday above the glass - I love how it looks like it's coming out of the glass with the jewel bubbles that I added.

I added the panel to some silver sparkle card stock and some Steel Grey card stock and then I added the finished panel to a Sno Cone card base. For some added interest on the card base, I stamped the same martini glass with the same ink colour for a tone-on-tone look.

Thanks so much for joining me for day 1 of the countdown. I'll see you tonight for the release party.

My Favorite Things October Release Countdown | Day 2

Hello and welcome to day 2 of the My Favorite Things October release countdown. Today I have a couple of projects to share using products from the new release - it's another awesome day of products to share! :)

For my first card I used the new Handwritten Holiday stamp set (the sentiments in this set are gorgeous!) and I created a winter night scene to add the sentiment to. 

I first stamped the deer image from the new Dashing Deer stamp set onto a panel of white card stock and then I built the scene around him using Copic markers. I have been taking a lot of online classes to improve my Copic colouring skills so I used what I've learned so far to create the night backdrop.

I created the moon first and then added the night sky around it. I then added trees and the snow detail on the ground and completed the scene by colouring in the deer and adding all of the snow detail with a white gel pen. 

Once I had the scene complete, I added the sentiment right over the moon area using black ink and my Mini Misti stamping tool to ensure that I got a really bold, dark sentiment.

For my second project I used the new Cross-Stitch Tag die to create a few hand stitched tags and a card that looks like it was stitched but was actually done with pencil crayons.

These tags and card are a part of the free online release class that we offer each month so stay tuned to that tomorrow night for a full video and PDF download sharing how to create them. :)

Thank you so much for joining me for day 2 of the October release countdown. See you tomorrow for more countdown fun! :)

My Favorite Things October Release Countdown | Day 2

My Favorite Things October Release Countdown | Day 3

Hello and welcome back to the My Favorite Things October release countdown. Today we're sharing projects created with the new Dashing Deer stamp set and the snow globe collection that was a part of the previous card kit. 

For my cards today I used the new Dashing Deer stamp set and created two winter themed cards using the adorable deer images from this set.

For my first card, I created a winter scene using the Birch Trees dies and one of the deer images along with the cute bunny image from the stamp set.  I created the scene with an inked background, and then I added the birch trees and a snow hill that I die cut using the Stitched Snow Drift Die-namics.

For my second card, I used the other deer image and created a scene using the Starry Circle Die-namics.  I love creating a scene on a circle element.

I adhered the birch trees to the side of the scene and added the sentiment to the top right of the card stamped on a sentiment banner.

Thank you so much for joining me for day 3 of the countdown! 

See you tomorrow for more countdown fun! :)

My Favorite Things October Release Countdown - Day 4

Hello and welcome back! It's day 4 of the My Favorite Things October release countdown, and this is probably my favourite day! I love the new products being revealed today, and I have a few projects to share.

For my first card, I used the new Birdie Brown stamp set called Happy Pawlidays and paired it with the Warm Holiday Wishes stamp from yesterday to create a one layer card.  I wanted to make it look like the puppy was leaning against the sentiment, so I stamped him first, masked it and then stamped the sentiment over top. 

I coloured the pup with Copic markers to look my puppy Molly, and I gave her a green polka dot scarf and made all of the ornaments red. I added glitter to the ornaments with a clear glitter marker and then I diecut the panel with one of the new A2 Stitched Rectangle STAX dies.

I added the stamped panel to a red card stock mat, and then I adhered the whole panel to a card base that I had covered with grey and white striped patterned paper. I am all about stripes this release LOL! :) 

For my next card I used the new Lip Balm Window & Frame Die-namics, the new Lip Balm Pouches and the Free with $60 this month - Let It Snowflake Too.

I am in LOVE with the lip balm products! They make it so easy to create customized gifts. For my first project, I created a card that had a Frozen lip balm in it. I used the silver sparkle snowflakes to give it a winter feel, and I added a sentiment from the Snow Globe Sentiments stamp set. Rather than say Let it Go, my card says Let it Snow. ;)

And for my last project today I used the new Tall Tag Duo dies along with the lip balm products to create a cute stocking stuffer.

I created a custom lip balm by adding patterned paper to it and then I created a tag that holds the lip balm. I added a sentiment from the new Sending Smooches stamp set and embellished it with a Christmas bear from the Bitty Bears stamps set. 

Thank you so much for joining me for day 4 of the October release countdown! See you tomorrow for more countdown fun!

My Favorite Things October Release Countdown - Day 4

My Favorite Things October Release Countdown - Day 5

Hello and welcome to the My Favorite Things October release countdown! This is my absolute favourite release month every single year. I love holiday crafting, and I am always so in love with the new products that MFT comes out with each year. This year might be my favourite EVER! :)

For my card today I used the new Polar Pals stamp set and Die-namics and created a holiday winter scene. These stamps don't have to be used for holiday cards, but I really wanted to Christmas it up LOL! 

 

I stamped my seal and tree (coming in another stamp set soon!) onto white card stock and coloured them both in with Copic markers. I diecut the seal with the coordinating die and hand cut the tree, so it didn't have the white border. 

I created the winter scene for my images with some distress inks and card stock panels diecut with the new A2 Stitched Rectangle STAX Set 1 Die-namics. I LOVE these dies and will never put them down haha!

I added the panels to a card base covered with a red and white striped patterned paper from the Birthday Blowout paper pad, and I added a sentiment that I stamped from the Snow Globe Sentiments stamp set. I finished the card with Ice Cube Jewels on the tree and a star embellishment I had in my stash.

Thanks so much for joining me for Day 5 of the countdown. Make sure to visit the MFT blog for more ideas and more peeks at the new products!

See you tomorrow for more countdown fun!

My Favorite Things October Release Countdown - Day 5

Snow Globe Card Kit Release!

Hello and welcome back! We've been counting down to the release of the newest My Favorite Things card kit, Snow Globe and the wait is over! The full kit is available now at MFT Stamps!

For my card tonight, I decided not to create an actual dimensional snow globe, but to use just the shape and some inking for the background. I used the snowman image from the Scenic Snow Globe die set from the kit and created a snow couple. :)

I love that by just adding a bow and a little bit of pink, I was able to make a snow'wo'man to go along with the snowman. To create the snow globe sky in the background I die cut the snow globe from some masking paper, added the negative piece to my card stock panel and used an ink blending tool to add the blue ink.

I added a snow hill under the snowman and snow'wo'man and covered the entire thing with adhesive. I then added the Diamond Dust on top and pressed it into the adhesive to make my snow hill dimensional and sparkly.

I stamped the sentiment repeatedly under the image to mimic the song lyrics and then I adhered the completed panel to a top folding card base that I covered with black and white striped patterned paper.

Make sure to head over to the MFT blog for more ideas using this months kit and don't forget to head over to the MFT shop to pick up your kit! :) Thanks for stopping by for the card kit release party!
