My Favorite Things - Warmest Wishes

 

I recently treated myself to a few Birdie Brown illustrated stamp sets for MFT Stamps that I hadn't previously owned and this Warmest Wishes mini stamp set was one of them.

Products Used:-

Warmest Wishes Stamps

Warmest Wishes Die-namics

Birch Tree Forest Cover-Up Die-namics

I ink blended a white panel using Pine Needles Distress Oxide Ink, then used white ink to stamp in some of the snowfall images from the stamp set and overlaid that with a white die cut of the Birch Tree Forest Cover-Up Die-namics which I glued in place.   I used a white pen to fill in some of the open circle snow images but left others as circles for a slightly different look from the norm.

I stamped the girl from Warmest Wishes with Memento Ink in Rich Cocoa and coloured her with the following Copic markers:-

Skin - E04, E11, E21, E00

Blush - RV13, R21, R00

White Dress - C5, C3, C1, C0, C00

Red - R89, R39, R29

Boots & Gloves - E89, E44, E43

I used a white gel pen to highlight some areas and to add white fluff to the fringe of her hat, cuff and bobbles.  I then came in with a fine tipped black archival ink pen and added some depth to the fluffy affect using that and then I used a pale gold gel pen to add metallic fluff -  you can only see this when the card is handled and it catches the light.

I die cut the image using the coordinating die-namics and applied her with foam tape.

I stamped and applied the sentiments at jaunty angles to keep it playful and then added a few white snowflake embellishments to finish up the scene.

My Favorite Things - Holiday Penguins

 

I continue to churn out the Christmas cards, my favourite to make by a mile!   This card for MFT Stamps features the following products:-

Holiday Penguins Stamps

Holiday Penguins Die-namics

Torn Paper Edges Die-namics

I created a slimline panel and I ink blended it using Shaded Lilac, Seedless Preserves and Villainous Potion Distress Oxide Inks.  I grabbed another slimline panel and using the Torn Paper Edges Die-namics, I die cut 4 layers of snow which I ink blended with the first two shades mentioned above and then I adhered them to the background.

I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment at the top of the background panel and then covered this area with a little post it tape and spattered the entire card surface with water and then with white acrylic paint loosened with water.  When I was happy with the overall affect I removed the mask carefully spattered a little more paint where the sentiment was, but not enough to make it hard to read, just so that it blended in.

I stamped the images from Holiday Penguins with black Memento Ink and coloured them with the following Copic marker combinations.

Penguins - T5, C3, C1, C0, RV55, BV000, V0000, YR07, YR04, Y38

Blushes - RV06, RV55, RV10

Tree - G29, G19, YG67, YG45

Parcel - E43, E44, E87, RV06, RV55

Purple - V17, V15

I die cut the images and then placed a little tiny piece of Post It tape to cover the facial features of the penguins and then I spattered all of the images as I did with the background, removing the facial mask right at the end and applying all of the elements to the background using dimensional foam tape.

I highlighted a few points on each image and then used a metallic gel pen so randomly apply pale gold dots throughout the entire scene because I love a subtle little twinkle when a card is handled.

Products Used:-

Snowman Hugs Stamps

Snowman Hugs Die

Nesting Deckle A2 Die

Holly & Pine Die

Pine Boughs Die

Hill & Dale

I created a kraft cardstock card base using the largest of the Nesting Deckle dies and scored a line on the back panel to enable to the card to open and stand and then sealed the left edge with Scor-Pal tape.  I made a smaller white card insert to go inside to write on.

I used the next size down in the set to die cut two white panels.   One I ink blended in pink, backed with foam tape and applied to the kraft base, the second one I also die cut using the Hill & Dale Die on then stamped and heat embossed the sentiment in antique gold embossing powder, I backed this piece with foam tape and aligned the deckle edges with the white background panel and adhered.

I stamped the image from Snowman Hugs with Memento Ink in Rich Cocoa and coloured the image with the following Copic marker combinations:-

Squirrel - T6, T5, T4, T3, T2, T1

Snowman - C3, C1, C0, BG10, BG70, T5, T4, T3, T2, T1, YR07, YR04, Y38

Points were highlighted and designs made on scarves using a white gel pen and then I die cut and applied with foam tape.

Finishing touches included, creating the pine garnish at the top created using the Holly and Pine Die and the gold glitter bow from the Pine Boughs Die.  I glued the pieces in position and then used acrylic paint and a stylus to dot in a little delicate snowfall.

My Favorite Things - Christmas Cash Card Kit - Release Day

 

MFT's Christmas Cash Card Kit is now available for purchase!  Perhaps you'll pick up what is needed to make tooth fairy cards - so cute!   Here's what I used for this card:-

Tooth Fairy Die-namics

Tooth Fairy Wishes Stamps

A2 Double Stitched Rectangles Die-namics.

I created several panels of cardstock to layer up using both using my paper trimmer and the Stitched Rectangles Die-namics.   Before I glued them all together I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment in white and I used a die from the Tooth Fairy Die-namics to make the 'sparkle rays' for behind where her wand would be.

I die cut all the necessary components to build my tooth fairy and adhered the parts together, backed them with foam tape and applied to the scene.

That's all there was to it with this project but when the tooth fairy is going to visit that night, you need a quick card idea in a hurry!

Happy shopping everyone!

My Favorite Things - Christmas Cash Card Kit - Countdown Day 1

 

Tomorrow, the Christmas Cash Card Kit will be available at 10am Eastern.   Today my money card focuses on some of the numerous add on stamps and dies that will be available covering a host of different occasions.  Here are the items that I've used:-

Money Card Die-namics

Coffee Bean Background Stamp

Coffee Break Companions Die-namics

Coffee Break Stamps

Lip Balm Pouches

I first used the large die from Money Card Die-namics to make two white panels, I masked a line on one panel and stamped with the background stamp above the masked line.   I then stamped the sentiment at the bottom of the same panel and then die cut the opening for the pouch, the frame for the opening and header at the top of the card.  I inserted the pouch and stuck it in place and rolled up a bank note and sealed it in by adhering the second panel to the reverse.

I used Coffee Break Companions Die-namics and MFT's Prestige Cardstock to create the cup and saucer and the coffee beans.    I backed all the pieces with foam tape and applied to the background and I used a white gel pen to highlight a few points and with that the card was complete!
