Hi sweet friends,

we're shining a spotlight on the My Favorite Things January Vault Release that went live yesterday! Please hop over to the MFT Blog for today's DT inspiration.

I created a card with the Heart STAX Die-namics, the Mini Delicate Doilies Die-namics and a sentiment from the Candy Jar Companions stamp set.

I started off with a card base made from Gravel Gray Card Stock and die cut three of the intricate doilies from the same color for a subtle tone-on-tone look. Next, I die cut each of the hearts from another cardstock color (Summer Splash, Tropical Teal, Ripe Raspberry, Cotton Candy and Sno Cone). I stacked them on top of each other and adhered them to the card base, slightly shifted to the right. I cut off the excess with my paper trimmer.

The sentiment was stamped in VersaMark Ink onto a black cardstock stripe and I heat embossed it in white. I cut it out with a banner die from the Blueprints 28 Die-namics set which is another of the re-released products. Finally, I popped up the sentiment banner with thin foam squares.

MFT Stamps • January Vault Release Day

Happy New Year everyone,

the My Favorite Things Vault is cracking open again! All the re-released products are now ready to shop!

This release is jam-packed with lots of love-themed stamps and dies. On today's card, I combined the Full of Heart Die-namics, the Heart STAX Die-namics and the So Much Love stamp set.

First, I started off with an A2 card base and trimmed down another white cardstock panel to the same size. I cut the heart Full of Heart die from it and popped out all the little hearts. Onto a piece of Distress Watercolor Cardstock, I applied Distress Mica Stain sprays to create a pink and purple background. I let it dry completely and glued it behind the heart cut-out panel.

I stamped the sentiment and heart trio on white cardstock using three different Premium Dye Ink colors (Grape Jelly, Ripe Raspberry, Cotton Candy). I cut it out with one of the Heart STAX dies and adhered it with foam tape to the center of the card.

MFT Stamps • November Vault Release Spotlight

Hi everyone,

we're shining a spotlight on the My Favorite Things November Vault Release that went live yesterday! I invite you to visit the MFT Blog for today's DT inspiration.

Today I have a winter themed card for you featuring the beautiful Stylish Snowflakes Die-namics.

I started off with a white card base slighty bigger than standard A2. For the colorful backgound, I used several Distress Mica Stain Sprays on a piece of Distress Watercolor Cardstock. I added spatters with a small brush and used the largest of the of the A2 Stitched Rectangle STAX Set 2 Die-namics to cut out the panel.

Next, I die cut the snowflakes from white cardstock with the help of a metal shim as they are very intricate. I adhered them to the background leaving the right bottom empty. There I stamped one of the Snowfall of Blessings sentiments in VersaMark Ink and heat embossed it with Silver embossing powder.

Finally, I trimmed off the overhanging snowflakes and adhered the panel to the card base.

MFT Stamps • July Vault Release Spotlight Day 2

Hi friends,

welcome to another day of reviews for the July My Favorite Things Vault Release. Make sure to visit the MFT Blog for another round of DT inspiration.

On today's card I combined the Watercolor Flowers layering stamps, the Inside & Out Stitched Oval STAX Die-namics and the Twice the Wishes sentiment set.

I started off with a regular sized A2 card base made from Tropical Teal Card Stock. I trimmed down a Sno Cone Card Stock panel to be slightly smaller and cut out the largest of the stitched ovals. 

On a piece of Smooth White Card Stock, I stamped the flowers, stamps and leave using Premium Dye Inks (Sno Cone, Summer Splash, Tropical Teal, Sour Apple, Jalapeño Popper) and VersaFine Onyx Black Ink. I took the same oval die to cut it out and inlaid it into the Sno Cone window.

The sentiment was stamped on a Vellum strip with VersaMark Ink and I heat embossed it in white. I wrapped the strip around the sides of the Sno Cone Card Stock panel and adhered everything to the card base. To finish off the card, I added three matching rhinestones.

MFT Stamps • July Vault Release Product Preview

Hello sweeties,

we're cracking open the My Favorite Things Vault! All the re-released products will be available tomorrow, July 18th at 10 am EDT.

I created a pretty birthday card with the Flashy Florals stamp set and one of the Gumball Greetings.

I started off with a card base made from Sno Cone Card Stock and trimmed down a white cardstock panel to be slightly smaller. I blended on Salvaged Patina and Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Ink and added spatters with a small paint brush.

Next, I stamped the flowers and leaves with Premium Dye Inks (Sno Cone, Summer Splash, Tropical Teal, Grapesicle, Grape Jelly, Boysenberry, Cotton Candy, Ripe Raspberry, Limelight, Sour Apple, Field Day). I used the coordinating dies to cut everything out and created an arrangement at the bottom half of the card. Finally, I stamped the birthday sentiment in Tropical Teal.

MFT Stamps • January Vault Release • Countdown Day 2

Happy Sunday friends,

the My Favorite Things Vault cracks open again with some of your beloved favorites! All the re-released products will be available on Tuesday, January 31st at 10 am EST.

For my floral card, I combined the Mason Jar Die-namics with the Mason Jar Labels stamps and the Fresh-Cut Flowers Die-namics.

I started off with a white A2 card base and cut out another white cardstock panel with the full-size A2 stitched rectangle die included in the Blueprints 25 Die-namics set. For the background, I did some ink blending with Distress Oxides (Saltwater Taffy and Tattered Rose) starting at the top and letting the color fade out towards the bottom. To create some interest, I added splatters with a paint brush.

Next, I trimmed down a piece of Poppin' Polka Dot paper, cut it with the same stitched rectangle die and adhered it to the bottom of the ink blended panel. I think it looks like a pretty table cloth for my jar to stand on.

The mason jar was cut from vellum twice. I colored the back of one of the die-cuts with a light blue Copic marker to mimic some water. Then I stamped the punny sentiment in VersaMark Ink and heat embossed it with Salvaged Patina Embossing Glaze. I sticked the vellum die-cuts together with the help of spray adhesive.

I die cut all the flowers and leafy stems from colored cardstock (Fire Coral, Red Hot, Summer Splash, Tropical Teal and Limelight) and arranged them into a bouquet inside the mason jar. I wrapped a natural string around the top of the jar and tied it into a bow. I carefully adhered everything to the card using thin foam tape.

MFT Stamps • May Vault Release Day

Hello there,

the My Favorite Things May Vault is open and you can purchase all of the awesome oldies but goodies now!

I'm especially excited for the versatile Ride the Wave Die-namics to make an re-appearance. I paired them with the sweet Jungle Fun stamps from the latest May Release.

I die cut the waves from four colors of cardstock (Sno Cone, Summer Splash, Tropical Teal and Field Day) and adhered them to a Kraft cardstock panel.

Next, I stamped the images and colored them with Copic markers. I used the coordinating Jungle Fun Die-namics to cut them out. The sentiment was stamped in VersaFine Onyx Black Ink underneath the waves.

Finally, I adhered the images with liquid glue and attached the design to a white A2 landscape card base.

MFT Stamps • May Vault Release • Countdown Day 2

Hey friends,

My Favorite Things is opening up the Vault again! This means some classic designs and favorites will be coming back! The release will be available on Tuesday, May 17th at 10 am EDT.

Today I'm starting off with a wedding card combining the Bride & Groom Die-namics with the Happily Ever After stamps.

First, I did some gradient ink blending on a white cardstock panel which is slightly smaller than the card base. I used Saltwater Taffy Distress Oxide Ink at the bottom and let it fade into white towards the top. The panel was attached to the card base with foam tape.

I die cut the wedding dress from white cardstock and made my own stencil with the swirl included in the die set. I used the same ink color for the stenciling and also on the little hearts. The suit was cut from a MSTN Black & White Plaid patterned paper. It was fun to paper piece the groom's outfit which I completed with white and black cardstock on the shirt, tie and buttons.

Next, I cut the hand-scripted Love Ya Die-namics from white cardstock, applied VersaMark Ink and heat embossed it with Metallic Platinum Sparkle Embossing Glitter. I paired the die-cut with a sentiment that I stamped onto a white rectangle and heat embossed it with Metallic Platinum Super Fine Embossing Powder.

Finally, I assembled the card by adhering the die-cuts with liquid glue and foam squares.
