MFT Stamps • YUZU Hunny Bunny • Happy Birthday

30.04.2023

Happy Sunday peeps,

I'm always in need of birthday cards ;-) I think balloons, cute critters and polka dots are the perfect combo. The bunny hanging on a heart balloon from the YUZU Hunny Bunny set works great as a focal point. You could create a couple of cards using this quick and simple design.

I started off with a white A2 card base and trimmed down the blue Poppin' Polka Dots paper to the same size. I adhered the patterned paper to the card base using liquid glue. Next, I pulled the birthday edge die from the Blueprints 26 Die-namics set. I placed it at angle onto a piece of white cardstock (4.25" wide) and ran it through my die-cutting machine.

The image was stamped in Extreme Black Hybrid Ink and colored with Copic markers. I cut it out with the matching die and added highlights with a white gelly roll pen.

To complete the sentiment, I stamped the word 'happy' from the Mod & Merry set in Cornflower Premium Dye Ink onto a white cardstock strip. Finally, I adhered everything with foam tape to create a bit of dimension on this CAS card.

MFT Stamps • April Card Kit Release

25.04.2023

Hi everyone,

the new and fun workspace-themed The Office Card Kit is now available for purchase. The price for this collection of coordinated products is more than 30% off the cost of buying the elements separately.

For today's card I combined 4 of the 5 new die sets: the At My Desk Die-namics, Around the Water Cooler Die-namics, Office Greenery Die-namics and The View from My Office Die-namics.

First, I cut and scored a card base from white cardstock. For the background, I trimmed down a panel of Grapesicle Card Stock as well as a piece of Floor to Ceiling patterned paper. I also added a thin white cardstock strip as a trim.

Next, I die cut the window, office furniture and accessories from white and colored cardstock (Grape Jelly, Jalapeño Popper, Sno Cone, Kraft, Milk Chocolate, Cement Gray, Gravel Gray, Black Licorice). The blinds were die cut from vellum and for the outside view piece I did some faded ink blending with Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide Ink.

The sentiment from The Office stamp set (Free with $60 option) was stamped in VersaMark Ink onto a black cardstock strip. Finally, I assembled the die-cuts and adhered everything to the card.

Here's another look at the April Card Kit:

MFT Stamps • April Card Kit • Countdown Day 1

24.04.2023

Hello lovely friends,

today I'm happy to be introducing you to The Office Card Kit that will be available tomorrow, April 25th at 10 am EDT.

I created a light and friendly workspace using the At My Desk Die-namics and the Around the Water Cooler Die-namics.

I started off with a white A2 landscape card base and another white cardstock panel cut to the same size. I masked off half an inch at the bottom and did some circular faded ink blending with Salvaged Patina and Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Ink. Then I switched the mask and covered the background to do the floor in Lost Shadow Distress Oxide Ink.

Next, I die cut all the bits and pieces from white and colored cardstock (Boysenberry, Kraft, Sour Apple, Summer Splash, Tropical Teal, Cement Gray, Gravel Gray, Black Licorice). I assembled the scene by arranging and adhering the die-cuts. Finally, I stamped one of the Breakroom Buddies sentiments in VersaFine Onyx Black Ink to finish off the card.

Here's a sneak peek at the April Card Kit:

MFT Stamps • April Release Day

11.04.2023

Hi sweeties,

the wait is over! The My Favorite Things April Release is now available for purchase! Check out the MFT Blog for today's final DT inspiration.

I couldn't resist using the Buzzing with Happiness stamp set again. Those bee gnomes are just the cutest!

I started off with a regular sized A2 Gravel Gray card base and trimmed down a yellow Diagonal Gingham paper to be slightly smaller. Next, I cut out a white cardstock panel with one of the A2 Stitched Rectangle STAX Set 2 Die-namics. To create a window opening, I used the Stitched Hexagon STAX Die-namics and adhered a yellow Poppin' Polka Dots paper behind it.

Now I stamped the gnome with the bee hive and one of the little bees. I did some Copic coloring and used the matching dies to cut them out. The sentiment was stamped in VersaMark Ink onto a grey fishtail banner and I heat embossed it with white embossing powder. Finally, I adhered the images and sentiment banner with foam tape.

MFT Stamps • April Release Countdown Day 1

10.04.2023

Happy Monday peeps,

we've reached the final day of the My Favorite Things April Release Countdown wraps up today. Please join us as we are revealing the remaining products that will be available tomorrow.

The new Movie Icons Die-namics set goes perfectly with the existing Money Card Die-namics.

First, I die cut the Money Card base and the Gift Card Pocket from Boysenberry Card Stock. To add a bit of pattern to the purple cardstock, I sponged some Villainous Potion Distress Oxide Ink through the Sunny Rays Stencil.

I die cut the Movie Icons from colored cardstock (Smooth White, Chantilly Cream, Cement Gray, Gravel Gray, Black Licorice, Red Hot, Something Blue, Tropical Teal) and assembled them. To some of the pieces I added some shading with Copics.

Then I remembered the ticket included in the Blueprints 9 Die-namics set and cut it from Kraft Card Stock. I partially stamped the word 'Enjoy' onto the ticket with VersaFine Onyx Black Ink.

I adhered the die-cuts with glue as well as thin foam squares and stamped one of the Movie Night sentiments onto a black cardstock strip. I heat embossed it in white and used a fishtail banner die from the Money Card Die-namics set to cut it out.

MFT Stamps • April Release Countdown Day 2

09.04.2023

Happy Easter everyone,

only 2 more days until the My Favorite Things April Release goes live. Please check out today's product reveals and inspiring DT projects over on the MFT Blog.

I made this card with the adorable Potted Pets-Die-namics – I would definitely buy these cuties ;-)

To fit all three critters next to each other, I went with a special card size. The card base measures 6.75" x 3.75" and the Sno Cone Card Stock panel is 6.5" x 3.5" in size.

Next, I die cut the pots and plants from colored cardstock (Black Licorice, Gravel Gray, Cement Gray, Chantilly Cream, Kraft, Milk Chocolate; Summer Splash, Tropical Teal, Sour Apple, Field Day). The small flowers, tiny heart and light pink parts were cut from another bunch of cardstock colors (Princess Pink, Cotton Candy, Poppin' Pink, Lemon Drop, Summer Splash, Tropical Teal). I added a bit of Copic shading to the plants and pink die-cuts.

The Grow Together sentiment was stamped in VersaMark Ink at the top of the Sno Cone panel and I heat embossed it with Salavaged Patina Embossing Glaze.

Finally, I assembled everything and adhered the pots with thin foam squares.

MFT Stamps • April Release Countdown Day 3

08.04.2023

Hey there,

we are halfway to the My Favorite Things April Release Day sharing some elegant and floral products.

I created a pretty bouquet using the Flowers & Filler Die-namics as well as the Flower Foundations Die-namics.

I started off with a white A2 card base and cut a light pink paper from the Springing for Houndstooth Paper Pad to the same size. Next, I die cut one of the Stitched Hexagon STAX Die-namics from Gravel Gray Card Stock and adhered it to the center of the card using foam tape.

For the flower bouquet, I first die cut the paper wrap from Kraft Card Stock and assembled it. The flowers, leaves and sprigs were die cut from several cardstock colors (Princess Pink, Cotton Candy, Poppin' Pink, Fire Coral, Lemon Drop, Limelight, Field Day, Jalapeño Popper, Sno Cone, Summer Splash, Tropical Teal, Grape Jelly, Smooth White). 

Now I arranged the bouquet and tucked the die-cuts inside the paper wrap. I adhered everything at an angle and stamped one of the Word Bouquet sentiments in VersaMark Ink onto a Tropical Teal Card Stock strip. I heat embossed it with white embossing powder and popped up the strip with foam squares. To finish off my card, I added clear iridescent baubles.

Now I invite you to visit the MFT YouTube channel for even more ideas, product details and tutorials.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Have a sunny weekend!

MFT Stamps • April Release Countdown Day 4

07.04.2023

Hi everyone,

it's Day 4 of the My Favorite Things April Release Countdown and we're counting our blessings today.

I created a bedtime scene with the sweet YUZU In My Prayers stamps and the new Springing for Houndstooth patterned paper.

First, I cut and scored a white A2 card base and used a piece of the lilac houndstooth paper as wallpaper. For the floor, I trimmed down a matching Poppin' Polka Dots paper.

Next, I stamped the images in Extreme Black Hybrid Ink and colored them with Copic markers. I used the coordinating dies to cut everything out. For a bit of dimension, I popped up the images with foam tape.

Finally, I stamped one of the A Big Thank You sentiments in VersaMark Ink onto a black cardstock strip and heat embossed it in white.

MFT Stamps • April Release Countdown Day 5

06.04.2023

Hello friends,

so excited as we're kicking off the My Favorite Things April Release Countdown today. All the new products will be available on Tuesday, April 11th at 10 am EDT.

On my first card, I combined the Buzzing with Happiness stamp set and the Peek-a-Boo Honeycomb Die-namics.

I started off by creating a white A2 landscape card base. From another white A2 cardstock panel I die cut the honeycomb design which creates all those perfect hexagon openings. I stamped one of the bee trails in-between two hexagons. After that, I adhered a piece of Lemon Drop Card Stock behind the honeycomb panel and popped it up with foam tape.

Next, I stamped the cute gnomes and bees in Extreme Black Hybrid Ink and colored everything with Copic markers. I used the coordinating dies to cut out the images. The birthday sentiment was stamped in VersaMark Ink onto a black cardstock strip and I heat embossed it with white embossing powder.

Finally, I adhered the images and sentiment strip with foam tape.

Make sure to check out the MFT YouTube channel for even more ideas, product details and tutorials.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Have a BEE-autiful day!
