Celebrate, You Deserve It - MFT August Card Kit Release Countdown, Day Two

Welcome to Day Two of MFT’s August Card Kit Countdown. This month’s kit is called Starburst and it’s so much fun! Release is tomorrow, August 20th, at 10am so don’t be late! Be sure to stop by the MFT Blog for all the details and to see more projects from the design team.


For today’s card I started with some Ranger Watercolor paper, cut Starburst Die-namics, heat embossed the sentiment from Say It in a Starburst Stamp Set, and applied a watercolor wash. Next I popped it up on a panel of Gold Sparkle card stock then adhered the whole thing to a Sweet Tooth card stock base.

Next I stamped the balloons from BB Happy Hippos Stamp Set, cut them out with the coordinating Die-namics, colored them with Copic markers in the kit colors, and popped them up on the card front with foam tape. The secondary sentiment was heat embossed with gold on Sweet Tooth card stock cut with Starburst Sentiment Strip Die-namics, along with some distressed embossing around the edges, and also popped up on foam tape. I finished off with some enamel dots in the kit colors.

And there you have it for Day Two or Starburst, MFT’s August Card Kit. Thanks so much for stopping by today! See you back tomorrow for the release!
