Are You Ready? Two Days Until MFT's November Release!

 

Hello and welcome to Day Two of MFT's November Release Countdown! Release is in two days, November 8th, at 10am Eastern so make a note! And be sure to stop by the MFT Blog for ALL the details! Today we're previewing Coffee and Conversation Stamp Set, Coffee Mug Die-namics, Mini Mugs Die-namics, and Torn Paper Edges Die-namics (Free with $60).

Loving this Coffee Mug Die-namics and the super cute sentiments in the Coffee & Conversation Stamp Set. To begin, I sponged Summer Splash dye ink through the new Herringbone Stencil on Strathmore Bristol Smooth paper, spattered it with black acrylic ink, then adhered it to a Smooth White card stock base.

To complete the background, SY On Solid Ground stamp set was stamped on No Line Coloring card stock with Extreme Black hybrid ink, colored with Copic markers, and adhered across the bottom of the card, and the sentiment from Coffee & Conversation was stamped at the top.

Coffee Cup Die-namics was cut from two patterns of Finishes & Textiles Patterned Paper, backed with white scrap card stock for strength, and popped up on the card from to finish off.

And that’s it from me today! Thanks so much for stopping by! See you back tomorrow for Day One of MFT's November Release Countdown!

I'm not sure I've seen a prettier Winter greenery stamp set anywhere, ever. This thing is gorgeous and I can't wait to use it over and over!! to begin, I sponged Lazy Day dye ink on Strathmore Bristol Smooth paper and heat embossed lettered from MSTN Lined Letters stamp set with gold detail embossing powder. 

Next the background was spattered with gold acrylic ink and an small art brush. Once dry, it was adhered to a Smooth White 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, and colored with Copic markers.

Next I drew a circle on the card front and used that as a guide for placement of the colored images. Once I was happy with it, the images were adhered with hot glue and it was done!!

I love me some sweet penguins and the ones in this new YUZU Playful Penguins Stamp Set and Die-namics are super sweet!  To begin, I created my background by sponging Lazy Day dye ink on Strathmore Bristol Smooth paper and using Mini Cloud Edges Stencil. The water element was created by doing a watercolor wash on Ranger Watercolor paper with Peerless Watercolors. 

When dry, the water and sky were adhered to a Smooth White card stock base, then more Smooth White card stock was cut with Stitched Snow Drifts Die-namics and popped up on foam after stamping the sentiment from the set.

The images were stamped on No Line coloring card stock with Extreme Black hybrid ink, cut out with the coordinating Die-namics, and colored with Copic markers. A sentiment from Itty Bitty Holiday was stamped on the wooden sign and all images were placed in the scene with foam tape.

And that’s it from me today! Thanks so much for stopping by! See you back tomorrow for Day Three of MFT's November Release Countdown!

Happy Holidays - Color Throwdown Challenge #717

 


Hello and welcome to a brand new Color Throwdown Challenge! This week Lori is our hostess and she has a classic color combo for us to work with based on her quirky inspiration piece.

I decided to go all classic with my product choice and design. I'm using DBD Pretty Poinsettias Stamp Set and Die-namics for the images which were stamped on No Line coloring card stock with Extreme Black hybrid ink, cut out with the coordinating Die-namics, and colored with Copic markers.

Once the images were done I set them aside and started on the card base. Smooth White card stock was covered with Joyful Plaid Patterned Paper, then the sentiment was heat embossed on Black Licorice card stock and adhered to the card base with foam tape.

The colored images were adhered with hot glue and foam tape and I finished off with glitter enamel dots.

And that’s it from me! Remember, you do not have to have the exact colors to play the Color Throwdown challenge. If you don't, just use the closest you have. So, c'mon over to the Color Throwdown blog and play along with us this week. Please use the link service to post your card and please link directly to your card so we can find it easily. And please include a link in your post to the Color Throwdown. If you upload your card to a public forum, please use the keyword #CTD717 so we can see your beauty all in one place, and use #ctd717 and #colorthrowdown on social media. Hope to see you there! Be sure to check out what the other team members have come up with this week!
