It's Been Too Long - December MFT & Friends Feature

 


Hello! It's time for the December MFT and Friends Feature! The new release is available now for purchase so be sure to head on over to the MFT Online Boutique and shop! And don't forget to stop by the MFT Blog for all the details, more inspiration, and a chance to win a prize!



I saved this adorable Joyful Giraffe Die-namics for today because he is just so CUTE!! Look at that sweet face!!! I started my card by sponging the sky using Mini Cloud Edges Stencil and Blue Breeze dye ink on Sweet Tooth card stock, then trimmed it down and popped it up on a Sweet Tooth card stock base.



Then I started cutting the giraffe using Natural, Milk Chocolate, Black Licorice and Tickled Pink card stocks. I added shading with Kraft dye ink and glued all the parts to bring him to life. 



Once he was assembled, I added Grassy Hills Die-namics, cut from Jellybean Green card stock and popped him up on foam for dimension. The sentiment, from Giraffe Greetings, was heat embossed on Black Licorice card stock cut with Essential Stitched Sentiment Strips and also popped up on foam.

And there you have it! Thanks so much for stopping by! See you soon, no go SHOP!

  1. Your card makes me think of the zoo's that might be closed due to the pandemic, and I wonder how these animals are adapting to not having tons of people coming and going. I would imagine that even their world has changed. Not sure why my thoughts went in this direction other than we are doing virtual school here and all vacation plans continue to be on hold. Happy Holidays!

  16. Hi, Barbara -I'm glad someone used that cute giraffe. I was surprised when I looked over the release to see him b/c no teases were done using him and I think he is one of the best items of the entire release! Great card!! My dad's favorite animal is a giraffe, so I think I will get this and make some cards for him w/ it.

  21. I really like the slightly more muted colors you used on this giraffe instead of the standard bright yellow. It gives the giraffe a different feel while still being utterly adorable.
