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.

Thank you so much for stopping by! See you again tomorrow!

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.

Hello sweet folks,

Look at the fun Zen Friends that I picked for today's card! I love their poses and sweet faces! I also used the Vertical Stitched Strips Die-namics which are great for simple and quick backgrounds.

First, I cut and scored a card base from Sno Cone Card Stock. I die cut two of the vertical stitched strips from Grapesicle and Kraft Card Stock and adhered them to the card base.

Next, I stamped the images in Extreme Black Hybrid Ink and colored them with Copics. I used the coordinating dies to cut everything out. The sentiment was stamped with VersaFine Onyx Black Ink and I added the leafy stem in Grapesicle Premium Dye Ink.

MFT Stamps • October Release Spotlight Day 4

Hi lovelies,

we've reached the final day of the My Favorite Things October Release Spotlight. Check out the MFT Blog for another round of inspiration from the DT.

For today's project, I combined one of the santas from the Nicest on the List stamp set with the Money Tag Die-namics and the Money Tag Gift Card Pocket Die-namics.

First, I die cut the tag base and gift card pocket from two blue papers from the Colorful Christmas Text Paper Pad. The topper was done in Cornflower Card Stock and I die cut the reinforcer from Red Hot Card Stock. I attached the pocket to the tag with double-sided adhesive and inserted the gift card.

Next, I stamped the santa in Extreme Black Hybrid Ink and colored him with Copic markers. I used the coordinating die to cut out the image. I did some paper piecing for the gift which I stamped onto a piece of black and white striped paper.

The fun sentiment was stamped in VersaMark Ink onto a black cardstock banner and I heat embossed it with white embossing powder. Finally, I popped up santa and the sentiment with thin foam squares.

MFT Stamps • October Release Spotlight Day 3

Hello friends,

it's Day 3 of the My Favorite Things October Release Spotlight and we're still sharing some holiday goodness.

I made a card with the wonderful SY Christmas Carols stamp set illustrated by Stacey Yacula.

I started off with a white regular sized A2 card base and trimmed down another white cardstock panel to the same size. For the background, I did some stenciling and soft ink blending with Distress Oxides. The snowy hill was done with the Drifts & Hills Stencil. I stamped the snowflakes across the sky using VersaMark Ink and heat embossed them in white.

Next, I stamped the images in Extreme Black Hybrid Ink and colored them with Copics. The sidewalk was stamped and colored directly onto the panel. For the other images, I used the coordinating dies to cut them out.

At the bottom, I stamped the sentiment in VersaMark Ink and heat embossed it with Liquid Platinum embossing powder. Finally, I assembled my little scene by adhering the images with glue.

MFT Stamps • October Release Spotlight Day 2

Hi peeps,

we're continuing the review of the new My Favorite Things October Release. On today's CAS spotlight card, I paired the YUZU Merry Moose stamp set with the Tiled Stars Stencil and the Stitched Rounded Arch STAX Die-namics.

First, I created a card base from white cardstock and trimmed down another panel to the same size. I used the second largest rounded arch die to cut a window from it. For the background, I first did a soft blend with Distress Oxides (Wilted Violet and Salvaged Patina) and then applied the same colors through the stencil.

Next, I stamped the moose and bird in Extreme Black Hybrid Ink and colored them with Copics. I used the coordinating dies to cut out the images. The sentiment was stamped in VersaMark Ink onto a Boysenberry Card Stock strip and heat embossed in white. Finally, I popped up the window panel, the images and the sentiment strip with foam tape.

MFT Stamps • October Release Spotlight Day 1

Hello everyone,

the festive My Favorite Things October Release hit the store yesterday. In the next few days we will review the new products and share some inspiration along the way.

For today's card I picked the cute JB Gno Ho Ho stamps – I just adore gnomes! There's also the gorgeous JB Gnome Home Die-namics set which go perfectly with the images.

I started off with a landscape A2 card base and covered the front with one of the beautiful Holiday Plaid Papers. On a white cardstock panel I did an ink blended background with matching Distress Oxides (Kitsch Flamingo, Spun Sugar, Mowed Lawn and Twisted Citron). I stamped the sentiment in VersaFine Onyx Black Ink  in the top right corner.

The gnome house and string lights were die cut from white and colored cardstock. I added a bit of shading with Copics and Lost Shadow Distress Oxide Ink. For some extra shine, I applied Nuvo Crystal Glaze to the light bulbs.

Next, I stamped the gnomes in Extreme Black Hybrid Ink and colored them with Copic markers. I used the coordinating dies to cut out the images which I adhered with foam tape in front of the gnome house.
