Happy Leap Day,

have you shopped the My Favorite Things February Release yet? Today I'm back with a spotlight card made with the Happiness Comes in Very Small Packages Stamp & Die Duo and the Stitched Rounded Hexagon STAX Die-namics.

I started off by creating a square card base from white cardstock measuring 4 1/2" x 4 1/2". I die cut three different sized hexagons from colored cardstock (Summer Splash, Grapesicle, Sno Cone) and arranged them on the card letting them overlap.

Next, I stamped the bunnies with Extreme Black Hybrid Ink and colored them with Copic markers. I cut out the images with the coordinating dies and adhered them to the hexagons. The sentiment was stamped in VersaMark Ink onto a Gravel Gray Card Stock strip and heat embossed in white.

MFT Stamps • February Release Day

Hi peeps,

the long awaited day is here! You can now purchase the new products from the My Favorite Things February Release!

On today's card, I'm showcasing the super sweet YUZU You Make Moo So Happy Stamp & Die Duo.

First, I created a regular sized A2 card base from Sno Cone Card Stock. I die cut a piece of Sour Apple Card Stock  with one of the Grassy Edges Die-namics and applied Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide Ink to the bottom edge. I stamped the small grass images in the same ink color.

I stamped the images with Extreme Black Hybrid Ink and colored them with Copic markers. I cut out everything with the coordinating dies except for the cute cow leaning on the log which I die cut with one of the Heart STAX Die-namics. Next, I masked off the image and blended on Distress Oxides (Salvaged Patina, Tumbled Glass, Shabby Shutters, Mowed Lawn). I also die cut two white circles in addition to the heart to mimic a thought bubble. The shading was done with Copics.

Finally, I assembled my little scene by adhering the images with liquid glue and stamped the sentiment at the top with VersaFine Onyx Black Ink.

MFT Stamps • February Release Countdown Day 4

Happy new week everyone,

we've reached the final Countdown Day for the MFT February Release that will go live tomorrow at 10 am EST! Check out the MFT Blog for today's Design Team projects.

I created another sweet birthday featuring the SY Greatest Present Stamp & Die Duo (illustrated by Stacey Yacula) and the Diamond Frames Die-namics.

First, I created a regular-sized A2 card base from white cardstock. I cut out a purple patterned paper from the Poppin' Polka Dots Paper Pad with the largest largest die of the A2 Stitched Rectangle STAX Set 2 Die-namics set. The diamond frame was cut twice from Summer Splash Card Stock and the inlaid diamond piece from Sno Cone Card Stock. I adhered them to the center of the card.

Next, I stamped the images in Extreme Black Hybrid Ink, did some Copic coloring and used the matching dies to cut them out. I partially stamped the sentiment onto a Black Licorice Card Stock strip and heat embossed it in white. I cut it out with a narrow fishtail banner die from the Blueprints 27 Die-namics set. For a bit of dimension, I popped up the images and sentiment banner with thin foam squares.

On my card, I used the Headed for the Stars Stamp & Die Duo which features some critters, balloons, clouds and stars.

First, I created an A2 card base from white cardstock. I trimmed down a strip from one of the Joyful Plaid papers and adhered it to the left. On another white cardstock panel I did some light handed ink blending with Distress Oxides (Salvaged Patina, Tumbled Glass and Scattered Straw).

Next, I stamped the images in Extreme Black Hybrid Ink and colored them with Copics. I used the matching dies to cut everything out. Onto a Jalapeño Popper Card Stock strip I stamped the sentiment in VersaMark Ink. I heat embossed it in white and cut it out with a fishtail banner die from the Blueprints 27 Die-namics set.

MFT Stamps • February Release Countdown Day 2

Hello sweet friends,

it's Countdown Day 2 for the My Favorite Things February Release. Make sure to hop over to the MFT Blog for some product sneaks and inspiring DT projects.

On today's CAS birthday card, I combined the Smart Mask - Horizontal Diagonal High/Low Strip Stencil with one of the cuties from the JB Birthday Bites Stamp & Die Duo.

I started off with a white landscape card base measuring a bit less than the regular A2 size. I trimmed down another white cardstock panel to the same size and temporarily attached the stencil to it. I did some ink blending with Distress Oxides in a pastel cotton candy color scheme (Cracked Pistachio, Salvaged Patina, Spun Sugar, Kitsch Flamingo, Milled Lavender and Wilted Violet). The sentiment from the Essential Birthday Messages set was stamped in VersaMark Ink and I heat embossed it with Silver embossing powder.

Next, I stamped the kitty with the cake in Extreme Black Hybrid Ink. I colored the image with Copic markers and used the coordinating die to cut it out. For a bit of dimension, I adhered it with foam tape. I finished off the card with a small aqua heart die-cut.

MFT Stamps • February Release Countdown Day 1

Hi everyone,

today we're kicking off the Countdown to the My Favorite Things February Release. The new products will be available on Tuesday, February 27th at 10 am EST.

For my first preview project, I picked the adorable JB Monkey Around Stamp & Die Duo to create a colorful birthday card.

I started off with a white A2 card base. For my layout I used the Blueprints 29 Die-namics. I die cut the large rectangle panel from one of the MSTN Rainbow Plaid papers and the stitched frame twice from Cornflower Card Stock. The inside pieces of the frame were cut from white cardstock. I added some soft ink blending with Distress Oxide Salvaged Patina to the top half and inlaid the rectangles back inside the frame openings.

Next, I stamped the monkeys and cake in Extreme Black Hybrid Ink and colored them with Copic markers. I used the coordinating dies to cut out the images and popped them up with thin foam squares. The sentiment was stamped in VersaFine Onyx Black Ink to the left corner of the bottom rectangle.

MFT Stamps • February Vault Release Day

Hello peeps,

the My Favorite Things February Vault Release is now available! I'm a big fan of the versatile Blueprints Die-namics – they make crafting so easy and even more fun as they provide countless possibilities.

On today's card, I used the Blueprints 23 set along with the cute JB Monster Love Stamp & Die Duo.

I started off with a white A2 landscape cardbase. The stitched rectangle panel with the three peek-a-boo holes was die cut from Blue Beyond Card Stock which I matted with a Limelight Card Stock piece that is slightly bigger. I also adhered a strip of Summer Splash Card Stock behind the circle windows. The sentiment was stamped in VersaMark Ink onto a Poppin' Pink Card Stock banner (Blueprints 27) and I heat embossed it in white.

Next, I stamped the little monsters and spaceship in Extreme Black Hybrid Ink and colored them with Copics. I used the matching dies to cut out the images and popped them up with thin foam squares. I finished off the card by adding three small yellow stars (Tag Builder Blueprints 6 Die-namics).

Thank you so much for stopping by! Sending monster-sized hugs!
