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:

MFT Stamps • November Release Spotlight Day 4

Hi peeps,

we've reached the final day of the My Favorite Things November Release Spotlight. Please check out the MFT Blog for another round of DT inspiration.

On today's square card, I'm highlighting the cute Winter Kittens stamps set which is perfect to create playful scenes with.

First, I cut and scored a 4.5" x 4.5" card base from white cardstock. I trimmed down one of the plaid papers from the Orange Sherbet Paper Pad to be slightly smaller. To be able to have separate little scenes, I picked the Horizontal Stitched Strips Die-namics and cut three of them from white cardstock. I applied Salvaged Patina and Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Ink to the bottom using a light hand.

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. I stamped one of the sentiments in VersaFine Onyx Black Ink and assembled the scenes by adhering the images with liquid glue.

we're continuing to review the awesome new products of the My Favorite Things November Release. I invite you to visit the MFT Blog for another round of DT inspiration.

Today I'm sharing another winter card which I made with the adorable YUZU North Pole Pals stamp set.

I started off with a white A2 card base and trimmed down another panel to the same size. I decided to do a gradient ink blended purple sky with Distress Oxides (Villainous Potion, Dusty Concord and Milled Lavender). To create some falling snow, I spattered on white paint with a brush. For the snowy hill, I used one of the Sand and Surf Die-namics and applied Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Ink to the top half. The sentiment was stamped in Summer Splash Premium Dye Ink.

Next, I stamped the polar bear along with two of the cute penguins in Extreme Black Hybrid Ink and colored them with Copic markers. I used the coordinating dies to cut out the images which I adhered to the snow hill. Finally, I die cut three of the Stylish Snowflakes from white cardstock to decorate the card.

MFT Stamps • November Release Spotlight Day 1

Hello everyone,

today we're shining a spotlight on the winter themed My Favorite Things November Release that went live yesterday.

Look at these adorable cuties from the JB Snow Happy stamp set! In the background I used the Heavy Snowfall Stencil.

First, I created a top-folding card base from Tropical Teal Card Stock which is slightly bigger than A2. Onto a white cardstock panel I did some ink blending with Distress Oxides (Peacock Feathers, Salvaged Patina and Cracked Pistachio). When the background was completely dry, I went over it with the stencil and white pigment ink for a subtle look. For the snowy hill, I used one of the Sand and Surf Die-namics and applied Salvaged Patina Ink to the top edge.

Next, I stamped the snowmen as well as the gorgeous tree in Extreme Black Hybrid Ink and colored them with Copic markers. I used the coordinating dies to cut out the images. The sentiment was stamped onto a Ripe Raspberry Card Stock rectangle with VersaMark Ink and I heat embossed it in white. Finally, I assembled the card by adhering the images, snow hill and sentiment using liquid glue.

MFT Stamps • November Release Product Preview

Happy new week everyone,

today we're previewing the new My Favorite Things November Release that will be available tomorrow at 10 am EST.

For my first winter themed card, I chose the adorable JB Yeti or Not stamps. These yetis are beyond cute and so much fun!

I started off with a white card base measuring standard A2. For the shimmery background I used Distress Mica Stains on a Distress Watercolor Cardstock panel. I like how it turned out because it almost looks like northern lights.

Next, I stamped the images in Extreme Black Hybrid Ink, did some Copic coloring and used the coordinating dies to cut them out. I adhered the yetis and snowy scene at the bottom half of the background. Now I stamped one of the versatile Something for Everything sentiments in VersaMark Ink onto a piece of Tropical Teal Card Stock and heat embossed it in white. I cut it out with the matching die and attached it to the card.
