Hello again,

we've reached the final day of the My Favorite Things August Release Review and I'm sharing another cute card.

The costumed babies from the RAM Sweetest Trick or Treaters stamp set by Rachelle Anne Miller are just irresistible!

To start off, I cut and scored an A2 card base from white cardstock. I picked a patterned paper from the MSTN Spooky Season Paper Pad and die cut it with one of the A2 Stitched Rectangle STAX Die-namics.

Next, I stamped the little ones, colored them with Copic Markers and used the coordinating dies to cut them out. For a bit of dimension, I adhered the images with thin foam squares.

The sentiment was stamped in clear sticky VersaMark Ink onto a piece of black cardstock and I heat embossed it with white embossing powder. Finally, I embellished the card with three enamel dots.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Hope you're having a wonderful weekend!

MFT Stamps • Wednesday Sketch Challenge 638

Hi friends,

it's time again for a new Wednesday Sketch Challenge over at the MFT Blog. Join the challenge with a new project following the sketch for your chance to win a $50 Gift Voucher.

Although it's finally Spring and getting warmer, I created one last winter-themed card since I really wanted to use the adorable Beary Special stamp set by Rachelle Anne Miller.

When I saw this week's sketch, I remembered the cards that I previously made with the Snowflake Flurry Background stamp. I happened to have two strips left and was glad I could use them for this card. The snowflakes were originally stamped in VersaMark Ink onto Sno Cone and Summer Splash Card Stock and heat embossed with Judikins Iridescent Embossing Powder. I adhered the strips to a white A2 card base.

Next, I stamped the sweet polar bears and colored them with Copics. I used the coordinating dies to cut them out. I also stamped, colored and die cut the snowbank from the Stacey Yacula Polar Opposites set.

The sentiment is from the Itty Bitty Love Notes set and I stamped it in VersaMark Ink onto a thin Black Licorice Card Stock strip. I heat embossed it with white embossing powder and adhered the strip as well as the images to the card.

Here is this week's sketch #638:

MFT Stamps • January Release Day

Hi there,

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

I have another love-themed card to share with you today featuring one of the cuties from the My Punny Valentine stamp set by Rachelle Anne Miller.

I haven't done this in a while, so I created a subtle white-on-white background by repeatedly adhering die-cuts all over the panel. Therefore I used the X and O from the Love Icons Die-namics set. I stacked up two layers for each letter and alternately adhered them to my white card base.

Next, I stamped the image in Extreme Black Hybrid Ink and colored it with Copic markers. I used the coordinating die to cut out the bunny which I adhered to the left side of the card with thin foam squares.

I stamped the punny sentiment onto a Grapesicle Card Stock strip with VersaFine Onyx Black Ink. I cut the right end into a fishtail banner shape and tucked the sentiment strip underneath the image.

MFT Stamps • December Release Day

Hello friends,

the My Favorite Things December Release is now available for purchase! Due to a delivery delay I couldn't take part in the Release Countdown but I managed to make a card for today. Check out the MFT Blog to see what the Design Team created with the new products.

For my card, I picked the sweet I'll Always Chews You stamp set illustrated by Rachelle Anne Miller.

I started off with a white card base that is slightly larger than the regular A2 size. Next, I stamped the beautiful Little Leaves Background in VersaMark Ink onto a watercolor cardstock panel and heat embossed it with clear embossing powder. I then spritzed it with water and Distress Mica Stain Sprays in the colors Fresh Balsam and Wicked Elixier. When the panel was completely dry, I die cut it with the largest of the A2 Stitched Rectangle STAX Set 1 Die-namics and adhered it to the card base.

I stamped the images, colored them with Copic markers and cut them out with the coordinating dies. To make the image stand out from the busy leafy background, I die cut a circle from vellum to go behind it. The sentiment was stamped in VersaMark Ink onto a Kraft Card Stock rectangle and I heat embossed it in white. To keep the design flat, I adhered everything with liquid glue.

MFT Stamps • April Release Countdown Day 2

Hello sweet friends,

only 2 more days until the My Favorite Things April Release goes live. Don't miss all the inspiration and product reveals over on the MFT Blog.

I created an One Layer Card with the adorable Number Fun – 1 stamps illustrated by Rachelle Anne Miller.

First, I stamped the little scene in Extreme Black Hybrid Ink – once on white cardstock and the second time on masking paper to protect the images. I ink blended the background with Distress Oxides (night sky: Stormy Sky, Chipped Sapphire; grass: Bundled Sage, Rustic Wilderness).

After carefully removing the masks, I colored the images with Copics. The birthday sentiment was stamped in VersaFine Onyx Black Ink. I trimmed down the card panel and adhered it to a square card base made from Sno Cone Card Stock.
