It's Time!! MFT's July Vault Release Is Now!

 

Hello, it's time! MFT's July Vault 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 and more inspiration!

What a fun Vault Release this has been!! Lots of favorites back in out stamping stable!! For this card, I began by creating a background using Balloon Party Stencil to create a flurry of balloons--I think birthdays ALWAYS need lots of balloons (see colors I used below! Once the balloons were stenciled, I hand drew the strings with a black Copic Multiliner pen and set it aside. 

Next, I heat embossed the sentiment from Essential Birthday Messages on a Black Licorice card stock base and adhered the balloon background to it with foam tape.

To finish off, I cut Bold Happy Birthday Die-namics from Black Licorice card stock and some Fun Foam, glued the letters on the foam, and adhered them to the card front for the finish.

And that’s it from me today! Thanks so much for stopping by! See you soon! For even more ideas and inspiration, please visit the My Favorite Things YouTube channel.

One Day Until MFT's July Vault Release!

 


Hello, it's Day One of MFT's July Vault Release!! We're back with more birthday favorites today, so be sure to check out the MFT Blog for ALL the details and more inspiration from the MFT Team! Release is tomorrow, July 19, at 10am Eastern so set your clocks! Today we're previewing Celebrate Big Stamp Set, Happy Birthday Candles Stamp Set, Birthday Cake Die-namics, Happy Birthday Centerpieces Die-namics, Celebrate Speech Bubble Die-namics, Oval Shadow Die-namics, and Looped Border Die-namics.

I was SO excited to see Celebrate Speech Bubble Die-namics returning!! I always loved that die and used it a lot so expect to see more of it in the future :) I'm also using Essential Birthday Message Stamp Set and Balloon Alphabet and Numbers again today.

To begin, I sponged some Strathmore Bristol Smooth paper with Lazy Day dye ink, spattered it with clean water and adhered it to a white card stock base after stamping the sentiment from Essential Birthday Messages Stamp Set with Extreme Black hybrid ink.

Next I created a shaker element by cutting Celebrate Speech Bubble Die-namics from white card stock, adhering clear acetate card stock for the window, using foam tape for the dam, filled with rainbow colored shaker filler. To keep from adding a separate back, I left the cover on the foam tape at the top, adhered the sides and bottom, then poured the filler in the top and then adhered the top foam tape.

Next I cut Balloon Alphabet and Numbers Die-namics from Copic-friendly card stock, colored them with Copic markers, added black quilting thread for the strings, and popped them up on foam tape for the finish.

And that’s it from me today! Thanks so much for stopping by! See you back tomorrow for the MFT July Vault Release!

To begin, I created a sky background sponging Lazy Day dye ink through Mini Cloud Edges and Watercolor Wash - Free Form Stencils on white card stock then adhered it with foam tape to a white card stock base on which I added a strip of Happy Patterns Patterned Paper across the bottom.

Next I cut Wish Die-namics from more Happy Patterns paper and popped it up on the card front with foam tape. Three balloons were cut from Balloon Alphabet and Numbers Die-namics, colored them with Copic markers, popped the, up on the card front, as well, and hand drew the balloon strings with a black Copic multiliner pen.

These are more of my all-time favorite products! Ring Me Stamp Set and Die-namics bring retro to your craft desk in such a cute way! For today's card, I cut the body of phone from Cotton Candy card stock and assembled it using white floral wire colored black with a Copic marker. I wound it around an orangewood stick to get the spiral and taped the ends to the two parts.

The card base was created by adhering MSTN Pretty In Plaid Patterned Paper to a Sweet Tooth card stock base, then added the card front, more Sweet Tooth card stock stamped with Number Jumble Background in a distressed manner and popped up on foam tape.

The phone was then also adhered with foam tape and the sentiment from the set stamped on Ripe Raspberry card stock cut with MSTN Say Anything Die-namics. and finished off with some matching enamel dots.
