Hi crafty friends,

the fabulous My Favorite Things What's Cookin' Card Kit is now available for purchase. The price for this coordinated collection of products is 30% off the cost of buying the elements separately.

I used several of the die sets to create another kitchen scene, this time on a square card. For some extra sweetness, I added the adorable kitty from the JB Kitchen Cuties stamp set.

I started off with a white card base and trimmed down one of the Diagonal Gingham Papers to be a bit smaller. Onto another white square panel, I did some masking and ink blending with Distress Oxides (Tumbled Glass, Milled Lavender, Lost Shadow).

Next, I die cut all the parts for the cabinet, stove, cooking utensils and kitchen accessories. The cardstock colors I used are Sno Cone, Summer Splash, Tropical Teal, Grape Jelly, Boysenberry, Smooth White, Kraft, Cement Gray, Gravel Gray and Black Licorice. The metallic parts were cut from Brushed Silver Card Stock.

I stamped the little cat in Extreme Black Hybrid Ink and colored the image with Copic markers. I used the coordinating die to cut it out. I stamped one of the sentiments in VersaFine Onyx Black Ink to the right side of the cat which I popped up with foam tape. I added an enamel heart to finish off the card.

Here's another look at the November Card Kit:

Next, I stamped the images in Extreme Black Hybrid Ink and colored them with Copics. I used the coordinating dies to cut out the images and assembled the scene. Finally, I stamped one of the sentiments in VersaFine Onyx Black Ink.

MFT Stamps • Christmas Poinsettias Card Kit • Spotlight

Hello sweeties,

today I'm sharing another card made with the Christmas Poinsettias Card Kit that has been released yesterday.

In addition to the Card Kit there are also complementary add-ons available. On my card, I used the Pressed Poinsettias stamp set and created a background.

First, I created an A2 top folding card from Red Hot Card Stock. On a white cardstock panel, I randomly stamped the blooms, leaves and berry stems using Distress Oxide Inks. For a more modern and non-traditional look, I added Aqua and Peach to the color scheme. The centers of the poinsettias were heat embossed in white. I trimmed down the background to be slightly smaller than the card base.

One of the Christmas Wishes greetings was stamped in VersaMark Ink onto a piece of red cardstock. I heat embossed it with white embossing powder and cut it out with the coordinating die. Finally, I popped it up with thin foam strips.

Here's another look at the September Card Kit:
