My Favorite Things July Release | New Product Launch

Hello and welcome to the My Favorite Things July Release New Product Launch! All of the new July products we've been sharing all week are now available in the MFT online store!

For my card tonight I used the adorable giraffe from the Safari Friends stamp set and combined it with some of the new Gift Bags to create a fun birthday-themed card. As soon as I saw the giraffe, I thought he would be cute holding the long gift bag in his mouth.

I added brick detail to the background with the English Brick Stencil and Pumice Stone Distress ink and then I added the giraffe and gift bags on top. To make it look like the bag was actually in the giraffe's mouth, I cut along his mouth line with scissors and then tucked the handle of the bag into the opening.

Make sure to head to MFT Stamps to shop for the new release. I can't wait to see what everyone creates with this month's release!

My Favorite Things July Release | New Product Launch

My Favorite Things July Release Countdown | Day 1

Hello and welcome to day 1 of the My Favorite Things July Release Countdown. For the next five days, we'll be sharing cards and projects featuring all of the new products coming out on July 10th at 9pm EST.




And stay tuned to the MFT blog for the week following each release - we're bringing you even more inspiration and ideas using all of the new products!

For my card today I used the new Gift Bags Die-namics along with the Brushstroke Expressions stamp set and created a colourful birthday card!

There are 4 different gift bags included in this die set but I decided to use just one and die cut it multiple times and then colour them all with Copic markers. Once I had them coloured I added some white tissue in behind the top of each bag (kind of hard to see in the photos) and I added them onto the card front in rainbow order with foam adhesive.

I wanted to add droplets in the same colours as the bags so I cheated a little and coloured little dots with my copics and then I adhered clear droplets over top - quick and easy custom droplets!

Thanks so much for joining me for Day 1 of the June release countdown. Make sure to head over to the MFT blog for a closer look at the new products and more ideas using them.




See you tomorrow for more countdown fun!

My Favorite Things July Release Countdown | Day 1

My Favorite Things July Release Countdown | Day 2

Hello and welcome to day 2 of the My Favorite Things July Release Countdown. For the next five days, we'll be sharing cards and projects featuring all of the new products coming out on July 10th at 9pm EST.




And stay tuned to the MFT blog for the week following each release - we're bringing you even more inspiration and ideas using all of the new products!

My first project features my favorite product from the new release - the Cross-Stitch Bookmark Die-namics! I have been having so much fun creating bookmarks with this die and have so many ideas for more. I love that it combines my love for reading with crafting!

I stitched a bookshelf pattern onto the bookmark with fun rainbow colours and then I backed it with a piece of Limelight card stock. For this one, I added a tassel that I purchased but stay tuned for later in the week and I'll show you how to make one!

For my card today I used the new Happy Birthday Block Die-namics to create a bold rainbow birthday greeting. I love this large die and how quick and easy it is to create cards with it.

To create the rainbow I added Distress inks to a white card stock panel in rainbow order and then I die cut it with the die. I also cut it from a white square of card stock as well and then I added all of the coloured letters into the openings on the white panel. I love that everything stays one later.

I added a secondary sentiment from the Safari Friends stamp set onto a black sentiment strip and heat embossed it with white embossing powder. I completed the card by adding the panel to a Summer Splash card base.

Thanks so much for joining me for Day 2 of the June release countdown. Make sure to head over to the MFT blog for a closer look at the new products and more ideas using them.

My Favorite Things July Release Countdown | Day 3

Hello and welcome to day 3 of the My Favorite Things July Release Countdown. For the next five days, we'll be sharing cards and projects featuring all of the new products coming out on July 10th at 9pm EST.




And stay tuned to the MFT blog for the week following each release - we're bringing you even more inspiration and ideas using all of the new products!

For my card today I used the new Gift Shaker Window & Frame Die-namics to create a shaker present.  I backed the present with black & white polka dot paper and then I added a frame die cut from Razzle Berry card stock. I didn't want to distract from the black and pink so I used clear sequins as the filler for the shaker.

I decided to use the new Stitched Beautiful Bows Die-namics for the topper rather than the bow that comes with the Gift Shaker die, but I did use the center of that bow to dress it up with a little bit of green. 

I completed the card with a stamped sentiment from the new Sassy Pants Birthday Greetings stamp set and added the finished panel to a Limelight card base.

Thanks so much for joining me for Day 3 of the June release countdown. Make sure to head over to the MFT blog for a closer look at the new products and more ideas using them.

For my card today I used the awesome new The Greatest Show stamp set - I am a HUGE fan of The Greatest Showman so I'm pretty in love with this stamp set LOL! I created a simple scene for my card featuring the circus tent and fun lion coloured with aquas instead of the normal yellows.

To create the background, I used the new Grassy Edges stencil and added some Mowed Lawn distress ink under the tent and lion. I stamped the sentiment on the bottom in black ink and adhered the finished panel to a Blu Raspberry card base.

For my card tonight I used the new Playful Peacock stamp set and created a colorful rainbow peacock, which should be no surprise LOL! I coloured the image with Copic markers and then I used a white gel pen and added some additional details to his feathers and body.

Once I had the image coloured I added it to my card front with foam adhesive and stamped the sentiment underneath in black ink. I added the completed panel to a Blu Raspberry card base and added some aqua Studio Katia gems to the card front as well.
