Happy Hanukkah–MFT Wednesday Sketch Challenge #250

Hi, everyone, I’m back again with this week’s MFT Wednesday Sketch Challenge! Are you ready? Here’s this week’s sketch. All of the details about the sketch challenge are available on the MFT Challenge & Inspiration blog as well as in the weekly newsletter. The MFT Challenge & Inspiration Team will be on hand to provide plenty of inspiration to get you started.

I am really loving the new Cornflower card stock and ink that was released this month—it is a gorgeous mid blue that I though would be perfect for a Hanukkah card. So, I started with a Stone Gray card stock base, then added a piece of Ranger watercolor paper on which I stamped Star Celebration Background with Versamark, heat embossed with white detail embossing powder, and then did a watercolor wash with Cornflower dye ink. I popped that up on foam mounting tape, and following the sketch, added a piece of Sweet Tooth card stock. The next element is more Stone Gray card stock, stamped with Garden Flourish Background and Versamark to give it a very subtle look. Next I cut Hanukkah Love and Light Die-namics menorah from Cornflower card stock and the candles from Sweet Tooth card stock, coloring the flames with Copic markers.


The Star of David was cut from Silver Sparkle card stock and both were popped up on foam. The sentiment is from Happy Hanukkah and was stamped on Translucent Vellum with Versamark and also heat embossed with white detail embossing powder. I was able to hide the glue behind the sentiment and the small silver glitter enamel dots that I added to finish it off.

And there you have it! Thanks so much for stopping by! See you soon!

MFT October New Product Tour

 newproducttour1_2013oct8


Hi, everyone, and welcome to MFT’s October New Product Tour! The October release is available right NOW in the MFT Boutique!

NewRelease_BlogTitle

I have a few cards to show you using some of the new products, starting with a couple using Happy Hanukkah and Hanukkah Light and Love Die-namics. My first one starts with a Sweet Tooth card stock base. I added a blue card stock strip and the sentiment, stamped in Steel Gray ink on a Layered Treat Tag Die-namics flag. I then cut out the menorah with Sweet Tooth card stock and colored the candles with Copic markers. I cut it out again with silver glitter paper, cut off the candles, and adhered it to the Sweet Tooth card stock copy. I adhered them both to the card base and finished it off with a few clear gems.  

For the inside, I stamped another sentiment from the set. I taped off the top and bottom rows, inked up the center row with Lemon Drop ink, removed the tape and inked up the top and bottom with Steel Gray ink.

For my second card, I started with a Primitive White card stock base. I then stamped a sheet of Nightshift Blue card stock randomly with Versamark and the sentiment. I trimmed that down and wrapped around some gold cord before popping it up on foam. Then I cut the Star of David from gold glitter paper with Hanukkah Light and Love Die-namics and popped it up on an Oval Open Scallop Doily Duo Die-namics die cut and tied on a couple of Nightshift Blue buttons with gold cord. to finish it off, I stamped the sentiment on two strips of Primitive White card stock with Nightshift Blue ink and popped them up on foam.

I stamped another sentiment from the set on the inside, also with Nightshift Blue ink.

My third card shows the new DC Ornament Banner Builder without it’s companion Die-namics die. I started with a Sweet Tooth card stock base, then added a layer of gold metallic and silver metallic card stock, popped up on foam. I then stamped just the round part of several of the ornaments from the set with Versamark and embossed them with gold and silver embossing powder. Next, I added the bows with Black Licorice ink, then drew in the strings with a black fine tip marker. I stamped the sentiment with Black Licorice ink on a strip of Sweet Tooth card stock, popped it up on foam, and finished up with some sequins.

The inside has a sentiment from Cheerful Christmas Greetings, which is the Free with $60 set for this month, stamped with Black Licorice ink.

For my final card, I went kinda scrappy. I started with a Kraft card stock base and added a strip of Jellybean Green card stock stamped with DC Large Scale Backgrounds and Jellybean Green ink. Then I added a Snowflake Doily Die-namics cut from silver glitter paper. Next, I stamped LJD Grand Holiday Greetings on Black Licorice card stock with Sweet Tooth pigment ink and heat embossed, using the chalkboard technique. I stamped some More Washi Patterns on Washi Tape Die-namics with Kraft ink, Red Hot ink, and Jellybean Green ink and popped them up on foam. I know they’re supposed to be “taped” down, but I really like them used as a dimensional element in this way, too. To finish it off, I added a Black Licorice button tied with hemp cord and some enamel dots.
