Countdown Kickoff--Five Days Until MFT's December Release!

 

Hello and welcome to Day Two of MFT's December Release Countdown! Release is in five days, December 14th, at 10am Eastern so make a note! And be sure to stop by the MFT Blog for ALL the details! Today we're previewing SY Sweet Skunks Stamp Set, SY Sweet Skunks Die-namics, Bear Hugs Stamp Set, Bear Hugs Die-namics, Thank You for Being a Friend Die-namics, and Mini Slimline Double Stitched Rectangle STAX Die-namics.

How adorable are these little critters??? I didn't want to busy my card up too much and take away from the image so to begin, I stamped a couple of images on No Line Coloring card stock, cut them out with the coordinating Die-namics, and colored them with Copic markers.

Next I created my background by sponging Sour Apple and Lazy Day dye inks on Strathmore Bristol Smooth paper and adhered it to a Sweet Tooth card stock base after stamping one of the sentiments.

Next I cut a panel of Sweet Tooth card stock with Watercolor Wash Free Form Die-namics, stamped another sentiment at the bottom, then adhered it to the card base with foam tape. After the images were added, also with foam tape, it was done!

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

May Your Days Be Merry and Bright - Color Throwdown Challenge #672

 

Hello everyone and welcome to a brand new Color Throwdown Challenge! This week I'm the hostess and I chose some fun, non-traditional Christmas colors that I hope you just can't resist playing with!

I'm using MFT's Party Lights Stamp Set and Die-namics for this card, along with a sentiment from Merry & Bright Stamp Set.

To begin, I covered a Sweet Tooth card stock base with Black & White Stripes Patterned Paper and set it aside. Next I stamped the sentiment where I wanted it and arranged the light cords around it, both using Extreme Black Hybrid Ink. I cut the lights from Cotton Candy, Limelight, and Summer Splash card stocks and popped them up on the cords with bits of foam tape.

The completed card front was adhered to the card base with foam tape as well for the finish!

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.

Merry Christmas - Color Throwdown Challenge #671

 

Hello and welcome to a brand new Color Throwdown Challenge! This week's lovely colors come to us courtesy of Amy Rysavy.

I love Winter Wreath Stamp Set and Die-namics and thought it would be perfect way to use these colors for a non-traditional Christmas card.

My very CAS design also features a sentiment from Bitty Holiday Wishes and Elegant Banner Die-namics, sadly retiring. 

Once the elements were done, the wreath and then the banner were popped up on foam tape.

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.

Meowy Christmas - Color Throwdown Challenge #670

 


Hello everyone, welcome to a brand new Color Throwdown Challenge! Today Wanda is our hostess and she is challenging us to some upcoming seasonal colors.

I'm using Meowy Christmas Stamp Set and Die-namics for this card. The image was stamped on No Line Coloring card stock with Extreme Black hybrid ink, cut with the coordinating Die-namics, and colored with Copic markers.

The back ground was created by sponging Broken China Distress Ink on Strathmore Bristol Smooth paper, using Copic markers for the grounding. The sentiment was stamped with Extreme Black hybrid ink, then adhered with foam tape to a Sweet Tooth card stock base covered with Cool Collab patterned paper.

The image was popped up on foam tape and I finished off with some gold 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.

Sending a Flurry of Love - Color Throwdown Challenge #669

 


Hello and welcome to a brand new Color Throwdown Challenge! This week Vickie is out hostess and she's chosen some festive colors for us to work with.

I decided on a CAS design using a snow theme for my card this week. To begin, I cut Blue Beyond card stock with Snow Swirls Cover-Up Die-namics, tied around some baker's twine, and adhered it to a Sweet Tooth card stock base with foam tape.

Next, I cut Sweet Snowflakes Die-namics from Sweet Tooth card stock and Gold Sparkle card stock and adhered them directly and randomly to the card front.

The sentiment, from BB Warmest Wishes Stamp Set, was heat embossed on Black Licorice card stock cut with Stitched Fishtail Sentiment Strips and was popped up on he card front with foam tape. A few gold glitter enamel dots finished it off.

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.
