I have two very different cards for you today, both of which were super fun to make. My first one uses BB Toasty Greetings and BB Toasty Greetings Die-namics, along with several of the new inks.
I started with a Stone Gray card stock base, then on some Ranger watercolor paper, I created a background wash using, top to bottom, Blue Yonder dye ink, Cactus dye ink, and Cement Gray dye ink, then stamped the sentiment, from BB Toasty Greetings, with Black Licorice hybrid ink.

Next I cut and stamped the images from BB Toasty Greetings and BB Toasty Greetings Die-namics, also with Black Licorice hybrid ink and colored them with Copic markers, then popped them up on foam mounting tape. To finish off, I added some clear Pretty Pink Posh sequins.

My second card uses Get Toasty and Toasted Marshmallows Die-namics to create a fun scene.

This card started with a Kraft card stock base, then I built my scene on Blueberry card stock. First I stamped the sentiment from Get Toasty with Versamark and heat embossed with white detail embossing powder. Then I added Tall Grassy Edge Die-namics cut from the new Cactus card stock. Using Toasted Marshmallows Die-namics, I made my flames from Daffodil card stock and Orange Zest card stock, sponging the edges for some dimension.

The sticks were cut from some paper in my stash, Kraft card stock stamped with Wood Plank Background and Chocolate Brown dye ink, and the marshmallows were cut from Ranger watercolor paper and colored with Tangy Orange dye ink and Chocolate Brown dye ink using some smooshing. To finish off I added some stars in the sky cut with Blueprints 24 Die-namics.

And that’s it for today! Thanks so much for stopping by—see you back tomorrow for Day Four of MFT’s November Release Countdown!

  5. I love the soft colors on your snowman card. So pretty. And your "charred" marshmallows made me laugh. That's how I like mine. It's a fine line between charred and burned.
