My Favorite Things March | New Product Launch

Hello and welcome to the new product launch for the My Favorite Things March 2017 release! All of the awesome products that we've been sharing this week are officially available in the MFT online store now!

For my card today, I'm featuring the new Slider Channel Companion Window Die-namics that works with the Slider Channel Builder die set to create fun interactive cards. I paired the slider dies with the new Chinese Takeout Box and Good Fortune stamp set to create a card with a hidden message.


I created the window portion in a panel of Grout Gray cardstock that I had diecut with a stitched rectangle die and then I layered it over a second piece of the same colour cardstock. I diecut two of the slider channel pieces from white cardstock and layered them under the window panel so the slider strip could slide in and out.

I stamped a sentiment on the right side of the slider strip that would be visible when it's closed and then I stamped a second sentiment underneath the panel on the left side that would show once the slider strip was pulled out.


I added the Chinese Takeout box and a fortune cookie onto the left side of the slider strip with foam adhesive which allows it to slide out with the panel to reveal the sentiment underneath and it also stops the slider strip from pulling completely out.


I also diecut a set of chopsticks and added some brown ink to them and adhered them onto the takeout box before I adhered it to the card. I finished the card with some clear sequins and a little strip of paper peeking out of the fortune cookie.

My Favorite Things March Release Countdown | Day 1

Hello and welcome to day 1 of the My Favorite Things March 2017 release countdown. For the next five days we're counting down to the release of the newest products from MFT! I'm so excited to share all of the new products with you! ;)

For today's card I used the Home Sweet Home Die-namics along with the  No Place like Home stamp set for the sentiment.


I created a watercolour background first and once it was dry I added my diecut houses to the panel. I cut a tall and a short house and layered them together so it would like like one big house. I was kind of envisioning a beach and a lake in behind the house when I created the card. ;)


I stamped the sentiment onto a white stitched banner with black ink and I adhered it under the house coming from the right edge of the card and then I added some cleard sequins. I don't usually love soft pastel colours when I try to create with them, but I really like how the colours came together on this one.

Make sure to head over to the MFT blog for more projects from the design team using the upcoming release.

The new release will officially be available on tonight at 9pm EST in the MFT online store!

See you tonight for the release!

My Favorite Things March Release Countdown | Day 2

Hello and welcome to day 2 of the My Favorite Things March 2017 release countdown. For the next five days we're counting down to the release of the newest products from MFT! I'm so excited to share all of the new products with you! ;)

For today's project I created three baby gift tags using the new Bundle of Baby Clothes Die-namics, Welcome Baby Stamp set and Baby Rattle Die-namics.


I used the large tag die from the Blueprints 9 Die-namics to create the foundations for the tags and then I decorated each of them using various products from the new release.



I created a generic shaker tag using the Baby Rattle Die-namics and the 2" shaker pouches and I added a sentiment from the Welcome Baby stamp set. For the second two tags I used the Bundle of Baby Clothes Die-namics and created a boy and a girl themed tag.


These tags are a part of the March release free classes that we share each month, so make sure to check it out tomorrow night for a downloadable PDF and a video sharing how I created my tags.

Make sure to head over to the MFT blog for more projects from the design team using the upcoming release.

My Favorite Things March Release Countdown | Day 3

Hello and welcome to day 3 of the My Favorite Things March 2017 release countdown. For the next five days we're counting down to the release of the newest products from MFT! I'm so excited to share all of the new products with you! ;)

For my card today I used the new Stitched Interactive Windows Trio along with the new Critter Clan stamp set (and coordinating dies) to create a fun interactive card.


I first stamped the tree branch from the I'm Tweet on You stamp set onto two different white cardstock panels, one cut slightly smaller than the other. I stamped them in the same spot on each panel so they would line up perfectly when I layered them on top of one another.

I coloured them both in with Copic markers and then I used the new Stitched Interactive Windows Trio die to diecut windows down the left side of the largest panel, right through my stamping and colouring.


I stamped, coloured and diecut three of the owls from the new Critter Clan stamp set and then I adhered one of them to the panel and the other two under the windows. I also added some blue ink to the background to look like sky.


I stamped a sentiment from the Kind Words stamp set and finished the card with some clear sequins. Make sure to tune into tomorrows episode of MFTv to see how I created this card!! ;)

The new release will officially be available on March 7th at 9pm EST in the MFT online store!
