Final Countdown! One Day Until MFT’s December Release!

Hi there and welcome to the last day of MFT’s December Release Countdown! Release is tomorrow at 10am Eastern so set your clocks! And don’t forget to stop by the MFT Blog for all the details! Today we’re previewing Bear Hug Bunch Stamp Set, Bear Hug Bunch Die-namics, Mod Link 2 Die-namics (Previous Free with $60), and Crosshatch Polka Dot Background Stamp.

I can never resist an owl on a branch! I love to put them in front of a big ol’ full moon to show ‘em off! So, I started by sponging my background, after applying masking tape cut with a Circle Die-namics Set 1, using Broken China, Blueprint Sketch, Chipped Sapphire, and Black Soot Distress inks, splattering with clean water, and when that dried with white acrylic ink. Once that was good and dry I heat embossed the sentiment from the set and popped it up on a Sweet Tooth card stock base.

The images were stamped on No Line Coloring card stock with Extreme Black hybrid ink, cut out with the coordinating Die-namics, colored with Copic markers and popped up in the scene. I added a tiny heart, cut with Tag Builder Blueprints 5 from Ripe Raspberry card stock on one of the clouds.

And that’s it from me for the last day of MFT’s December Release Countdown! Thank so much for stopping by! See you back tomorrow for this month’s MFT and Friends feature!

Are You Ready? Two Days Until MFT’s December Release!

Hello! Welcome back to Day Two of MFT’s December Release Countdown! Release is on December 10th at 10am Eastern so get ready! Be sure to check by the MFT Blog for all the details. Today we’re previewing Zippy Zebras Stamp Set, Zippy Zebras Die-namics, Panda Pals Stamp Set, and Panda Pals Die-namics.

I used one of the sentiments to help me with this card design. What’s cuter than a bunch of panda’s peeking out from behind bamboo, right? I was lying in bed one morning and it hit me that Birch Trees Die-namics could easily pass for bamboo if it had the right leaves. And the right leaves were at hand in Wild Greenery Die-namics! I LOVE how MFT products play together so well! So I set out to create that scene by first sponging the background with Broken China Distress Ink—which ended up being mostly covered with “bamboo”. I also added some Grassy Hills Die-namics to add more depth and sponged the bamboo for texture.

The pandas were stamped with Extreme Black hybrid ink and colored minimally with Copic markers then tucked amongst the bamboo. The front was cut with Inside & Out Stitched Oval STAX cut from Sweet Tooth card stock, stamped with the sentiment and popped up on foam. I love this card!

And that’s it from me today! Thanks so much for stopping by! See you back tomorrow for the last day of MFT’s December Release Countdown!

Halfway to the Big Day! Three Days Until MFT’s December Release!

Hello! Welcome to Day Three of MFT’s December Release Countdown! Release is on December 10 at 10am Eastern; be sure to stop by the MFT Blog to get all the details. Today we’re previewing PI You're My Person Stamp Set, PI You're My Person Die-namics, Heap of Hellos Stamp Set, Big Hugs Circle Frame Die-namics, and Huge Hugs Die-namics.



How adorable are these little girlies??? Besties for sure! For this card I started by stamping the images on No Line Coloring card stock with Extreme Black hybrid ink, cut out with the coordinating Die-namics, and colored them with Copic markers, then set it aside. To create the background, I sponged Broken China Distress Ink over Mini Cloud Edges Stencil and Shabby Shutters Distress Ink using Grassy Edges Stencil then stamped the sentiment from the set using Extreme Black hybrid ink.

The shaker element was created using Big Hugs Circle Frame Die-namics, filled with sequins and seed beads, and closed up. The card front was adhered to a Sweet Tooth card stock base, the images popped up on foam tape, and Puffy Clouds Die-namics added to complete the scene.

Thanks so much for stopping by! See you back tomorrow for Day Two of MFT’s December Release Countdown!

I love the spotlighting technique and wondered how it would work with Rose Garden Stamp Set and Big Smile Die-namics. To begin, I stamped Rose Garden Stamp set on Sweet Tooth card stock and again, partially, on No Line Coloring Card Stock with Extreme Black hybrid ink. I colored the partial image with Copic markers and cut it out with Big Smile Die-namics. The portion I chose was a little busy so I shaded the area around the image to make it show better. The large panel was cut with A2 Rectangle STAX Set 1 and popped up on a Black Licorice card stock base with foam tape after tying around some matching baker’s twine.

The colored die cuts were popped up in place with foam tape and a sentiment, from Smile Maker Stamp Set ,was partially heat embossed on Black Licorice card stock and adhered directly under the die cuts. I finished off with some matching enamel dots
