My Favorite Things - April Release Countdown Day 2

On April 30th at 10am Eastern, MFT Stamps is having their main release for the month.   Today, my card features one of two brand new Pure Innocence illustrated stamp sets.  Here's what I've used:-

Like A Sister

Like A Sister Die-namics

Stitched Pinking Edge Circle Stax Die-namics

I created a circular card base from sturdy white cardstock and a smaller circle of Cotton Candy cardstock which I glued to the front.  I then used the new Stitched Pinking Edge Circle Stax Die-namics to create a white panel which I ink blended softly with some Cotton Candy Ink.  I backed this panel with white craft foam and applied to the card base.

I stamped the 'Like A Sister' image using black ink and coloured with the following Copic markers:-

Skin - E35, E33, E11, E00

White Dresses - C3, C1, C0, C00

Pink Cardigan and Shoes - RV63, RV52, T3, T1

Yellow Cardigan - Y19, Y13, T3, T1

Brown Shoes - E44, E42, E41

Hair (left) - E44, E41, E40

Hair (right) - E87, E44, E43, E42

Blushes - R22, R21, R20, R00

I used a white gel pen to decorate their cardigans and highlight their cheeks then I die cut using the coordinating die-namics.  I backed the image with dimensional foam tape and applied to the background.

I stamped the sentiment on a sentiment strip and also applied with foam tape and the final touch was the addition of 3 white Nuvo drops.

My Favorite Things - April Release Countdown Day 3

Welcome to Countdown Day 3 to the April 30th release by MFT Stamps.  I have a cheerful birthday card for you today featuring a new stamp set illustrated by Jenoblade.  Here's what I've used:-

Bear Hugs

Bear Hugs Die-namics

I created a mini slimline panel from sturdy white cardstock.  I ink blended the panel using the amazing Poppin' Pink ink by MFT and then splashed it with white acrylic paint loosened with a couple of drops of water.  Once dry, I stamped the sentiment in the corner and I did this in my Misti so that I could repeat stamp for a nice crisp image.

I stamped the Bear Hugs images using black ink and coloured with the following Copic marker combinations:-

Bears - E87, E44, E43, E42, E41, E40

Blushes - RV04, RV02, RV19

Ladybug - R39, R29, R24, T6, T4, T3

I highlighted points with a white gel pen, die cut using the coordinating die-namics then applied the images to the background using dimensional foam tape.

My Favorite Things - April Release Countdown Day 4

 

A warm welcome to my blog today where I'm starting to reveal my cards for the April 30th release by MFT Stamps.  Kicking things off with a new Stacey Yacula illustrated stamp set, here's what I've used to make this project:-

Next To You

Next To You Die-namics

Stitched Eyelet Lace Rectangle Stax Die-namics

I took two A2 sturdy white panels of cardstock .  With one, I die cut using the Eyelet Lace Die-namics then I masked off a line in the bottom 20% and masked the sides of the portion above it and I softly ink blended using Twisted Citron Distress Oxide Ink for the grass and Sno-Cone ink by MFT for the sky.   I removed the masks and then added interest to the grass with Copic markers and then I stamped some tufts of grass using a couple of little images from Next To You.

I stamped the other images I was needing from Next To You using Memento Ink in Rich Cocoa.  I coloured using the following Copic marker combinations:-

Bunnies - E31, W3, W2, W0

Green - YG17, YG13, YG11

Blue - BG11

Toadstools - R39, R27, R08, E74, E71, E70

Blushes - R22, R21, R20, R00

I die cut using the coordinating die-namics and applied the images to the background with dimensional foam tape.

I chose my favourite sentiment from the stamp set and stamped it at the bottom of the card then I backed the panel with white craft foam, glued it to the other white A2 panel and then to the card base.

Hello Bluebird Stamps - Farmyard Little Bits

 

Welcome to my blog and a new card for Hello Bluebird Stamps.  Today I've reached back in time to one of Hello Bluebird's very early stamp sets but one that remains a firm favourite with me, it's their Farmyard Little Bits set and I've made a simple birthday card idea to inspire you.  Here are links to what I've used:-

Farmyard Little Bits

Farmyard Little Bits Die

I took a panel of sturdy white cardstock and I masked a line above which I ink blended using Distress Oxide Inks.  The sky was blended using Salvaged Patina and then from the masked line upwards I used Crushed Olive then Mowed Lawn.  The masking tape was then carefully removed and I applied the panel to my card base.

I stamped the images from Farmyard Little Bits using Memento Ink in Tuxedo Black and I coloured with these Copic marker combinations:-

Cows - T6, T4, E02, R01, R00, R22, R20, C3, C1

Red - R59, R39, R29, R27

Hay - E44, E31, E51

Gift - G00, BG11

I die cut the images, then arranged and adhered the images with foam tape except for the red barn which for a little depth perception I glued directly.

I highlighted a few points with a white gel pen then popped the card in my Misti so that I could repeat stamp the sentiment for a bold and crisp image.

With that this project was done!  Thanks for reading my blog today, I'll be back very soon with something new.

My Favorite Things - You Give Me Butterflies - April Card Kit Release

 

Hello!   The You Give Me Butterflies April card kit from MFT Stamps is now available for purchase.  Today I'm sharing with you my second card (keep scrolling after this post to see what I shared yesterday using the kit.   Here's what I've used to make this CAS card:-

Peek-a-Boo Butterfly Die-namics

You Give Me Butterflies Sentiment Stamp Set

Such a simple card to make, I simply prepared two sturdy white A2 panels of cardstock.  One I adhered to my card base and with the other I die cut using the Peek-a-Boo Butterfly Die-namics.   I then carefully applied glue to the back of this die cut panel and adhered it to the other panel.

I found a 'rainbow' of colourful cardstock scraps and die cut the Peek-A-Boo Butterfly once from each scrap and I then selected piece by piece to form a rainbow effect and for added interest I made the butterfly's body and a couple of areas of the wing tips a glittered silver cardstock.   I carefully glued the little sections through the openings.

I stamped the sentiment with black ink in my Misti so that I could repeat stamp for a perfect image and with that this CAS card was done!

My Favorite Things - 'You Give Me Butterflies' April Card Kit Preview

Hello and welcome to a preview of the new You Give Me Butterflies April card kit from MFT Stamps. You can buy the kit tomorrow, April 23rd at 10am Eastern.  Here's what I've used to make this simple CAS card:-

Breakthrough Butterflies Die-namics

You Give Me Butterflies Sentiment Stamp Set

Sweet Summer Color Blends 6 x 6 Paper Pad

I prepped an A2 panel of the patterned cardstock and another in a sturdy white cardstock.  I used the Breakthrough Butterflies Die-namics to die cut the white panel.

I applied glue to the reverse of the of the white die-cut panel and adhered it to the Sweet Summer Color Blends panel which in turn was adhered to a prepared card base.

I chose a sentiment from the You Give Me Butterflies stamp set and stamped it with Versamark Ink and embossed in silver.

I added 3 colour matching jewel embellishments to the centre of each butterfly as the finishing touch.  Without a doubt this is a design that you can mass produce very easily and maybe gift in boxed sets to a loved one.
