Hello lovely folks,

I'm excited for today's previews of the My Favorite Things August Release. All the new products will be available tomorrow at 10 am EDT. Please hop over to the MFT Blog for more details and inspiration.

I created a Mini Slimline card with the sweet Chip, Chip, Hooray! stamp set and a pretty plaid patterned paper from the Orange Sherbet Paper Pad.

First, I started off with a 6" x 3" card base made from Grapesicle Card Stock. I die cut a white cardstock panel and the plaid paper with the largest of the Mini Slimline Double Stitched Rectangle STAX Die-namics. For a touch of color I applied Milled Lavender Distress Oxide Ink to the background.

Next, I stamped the images, colored them with Copics and used the coordinating dies to cut everything out. I adhered the cats and accessories before finishing off the card with the sentiment stamped in black at the top left.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Have a sweet day!

MFT Stamps • June Release Countdown Day 1

Hello sweeties,

today we're wrapping up the My Favorite Things June Release Countdown. Please join us over on the MFT Blog where we are revealing the remaining products that will be available tomorrow.

I made a Mini Slimline card for a change using the MSTN Ages of Fun stamp set and the Happy Hexagons Stencil.

To start off, I die cut a piece of white cardstock with the Wonky Stitched Mini Slimline STAX Die-namics. I placed the stencil on top and applied Salvaged Patina and Cracked Pistachio Distress Oxide Ink letting the color fade to the outside of the panel. Then I adhered it to an 6"x3" Blue Beyond card base.

Next, I stamped the images in Extreme Black Hybrid Ink and colored them with Copic markers. I used the coordinating dies to cut out the images and adhered them with liquid glue.

The sentiment was stamped in VersaMark Ink onto a Black Licorice Card Stock strip and I heat embossed it with white embossing powder. Finally, I glued it to the top right of my card.

MFT Stamps • September Release Countdown Day 3

Hello everyone,

we're halfway through the My Favorite Things September Release Countdown and today we have a couple more Fall themed products for you.

I made a Mini Slimline card with the Cozy Days with You stamp set that features cute critters, autumn leaves and large pumpkins. I also used the Tree Stumps Die-namics which are this month's Free with $60 option.

First, I started off with a white card base measuring 6" x 3". For the sky, I blended together the Distress Oxide Inks Uncharted Mariner, Speckled Egg and Tumbled Glass. I also added little ink splatters with a brush. The grass was done with Bundled Sage and Rustic Wilderness Distress Oxide Ink. I used one of the new Grassy Terrain Die-namics to cut the grass border. To add the stitching details around the edges, I die cut the background and grass with the Mini Slimline Double Stitched Rectangle STAX Die-namics. I adhered both pieces to the card base.

Next, I stamped the images, colored them with Copics and used the coordinating dies to cut everything out. I love how the critters can be placed on top of the pumpkins or tree stumps. The sentiment was stamped in VersaMark Ink onto a black cardstock strip and I white heat embossed it. Finally, I assembled the scene and adhered the images as well as the sentiment strip.

MFT Stamps • July Release Countdown Day 1

Happy new week everyone,

the My Favorite Things July Release Countdown wraps up today and we are revealing the remaining products that will be available tomorrow.

I created a Mini Slimline card using every single image from the sweet Chill Friends stamp set. I also added the clouds and sun included in the Joyful Giraffes set.

First, I made a card base which measures 6" x 3" and covered it with some green patterned paper from the new DBD Wildflowers Paper Pad. I trimmed down a white cardstock panel to a 5.5" x 2.5" and stamped the sentiment in VersaFine Onyx Black Ink.

Next, I stamped the images and colored them with Copics. I cut them out with the coordinating Chill Friends Die-namics and Joyful Giraffes Die-namics.

Finally, I adhered the ice cream truck, critters and accessory images onto the card. Love how this little scene turned out!

MFT Stamps • June Release Day

Hi friends,

YAY! It's Release Day! All the new My Favorite Things June Release products are now available for purchase.

I made a Mini Slimline card with the sweet Parachute Pals stamp set. I love the color palette of the new MSTN Stars and Stripes Paper Pad – so I had to use it again for this card.

I started off with a white cardstock panel and created a soft cloudy background with the Cloud Stencil and Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Ink. I stamped one of the Sunny Rays Sentiments in VersaFine Onyx Black Ink at the bottom left corner and added a patterned paper strip to the right side.

Next, I stamped the images, colored them with Copic markers and used the matching Parachute Pals Die-namics to cut them out. Finally, I alternately adhered the clouds and bunny images across the card.

MFT Stamps • May Release Countdown Day 4

Hi everyone,

the My Favorite Things May Release Countdown continues with more new product reveals and inspiration.

Today I'm featuring the adorable Thank My Lucky Stars stamp set. It comes with the cutest bear and bunny images, stars and a tiny crab. I made a Mini Slimline card also using the new Wonky Stitched Mini Slimline STAX Die-namics.

First, I did some watercoloring with Karin Brushmarkers to create a galaxy background in blue, teal and black. I let it dry completely and added white paint splatters with a brush to mimic stars. The largest wonky stitched mini slimline die was used to cut out the panel that I adhered to a 3" x 6" white card base.

Next, I stamped the images in Extreme Black Hybrid Ink and colored them with Copic markers. I cut everything out with the coordinating Thank My Lucky Stars Die-namics. The sentiment was stamped in VersaMark Ink onto black cardstock strips and I heat embossed it in white. Finally, I alternately adhered the sentiment strips and images across the card.
