My Favorite Things - March Vault Release Spotlight

 





Today at My Favorite Things we're spotlighting yesterday's Vault Release which you can now buy.  Many of you will recognise the dies I worked with to make the card I'm sharing today.  Here's what I've used:-

Welcome Baby (sentiment)
A2 Stitched Rectangles Stax Set 2 Die-namics
Rainbow Love 6 x 6 Paper Pad
Pretty In Plaid 6 x 6 Paper Pad

This is an A2 card.  I created a white A2 panel and over this I layered a panel of Poppin' Pink cardstock that was trimmed 1/8 inch smaller than A2.  I then used the Stax Die-namics to create the white panel and which gave it a faux stitched edge.

I ink blended this panel softly using Spun Sugar Distress Ink.  I glued the layers together and then popped it in my Misti and double stamped the sentiment using Poppin' Pink ink by MFT.




I used MFT's cardstock and patterned papers from the two paper pads listed above to die cut all of the baby clothes.  I assembled the pieces, backed them with foam tape and after glueing the washing lines in place I applied the clothing to the lines using the 'pegs' which I die cut from kraft cardstock.




I highlighted with a white gel pen and added one or two other very subtle accents and then this simple card was complete.

My Favorite Things - March Vault Release

 





A new vault release from My Favorite Things is dropping tomorrow March 12th at 10am Eastern.  Lots to love in the form of products designed by Laina Lamb, some of you may recognise some old favourites in the mix.   My first card uses the following MFT products:-

Pretty In Plaid 6 x 6 Paper Pad

To create the card which is sized for an A6 envelope, I first created all of the layers in the back.  The largest was created from the Pretty In Plaid paper pad, 1/4 inch smaller is the Poppin' Pink layer and then finally a white layer which was again 1/4 inch smaller.




With the background layers all glued together and to the card base I then set about creating the focal point.  I used the Oval Stax Die-namics to create a focal point.  I ink blended using MFT's Caribbean Sea, Limelight and Lemon Drop inks.  I backed the oval with foam tape and applied to the white panel.

I used Cotton Candy cardstock and die cut the Flamingos.  Once die cut I ink blended using Poppin' Pink ink to add gorgeous colour and definition.  I assembled the birds, backed them with foam tape and applied them to the background.  I similarly die cut and ink blended the heart that floats above them.

I grabbed some white cardstock and loosely ink blended using the inks that formed the oval background.  From this I die cut the greenery which I arranged and glued in place.  I created the flowers with the same cardstock and ink combination for the Flamingos.  The flowers were applied with foam tape floating above the greenery.




I stamped the sentiment from Tickled Pink on a white sentiment strip and applied it over the bottom of the greenery with foam tape.

I added white highlights to the Flamingo's wings and water droplet accents to the oval background and with that this card was done!  I'll have another one tomorrow to share with you using more from this vault release.

My Favorite Things - March Kit - Birthday Vibes






I'm happy to confirm that the Birthday Vibes card kit from MFT Stamps is now available for purchase.  Go and get yours before it sells out!  Find below a list of the products used to make this card:-

Inside & Outside Stitched Oval Die-namics
A2 Stitched Rectangle Stax Set 2 Die-namics

I took an A2 panel of MFT's Grapesicle cardstock and die cut using the Stax Die-namics. I masked off the edges and then used white pigment ink together with the Party Streamers Stencil to create the streamers in the background.  This panel was applied to the card base and set to one side.




I die cut two sizes of the Stitched Ovals and ink blended the larger one to create a soft peachy background, I applied this with foam tape to the streamers panel.  I used one of the stencils from the set of 3 Party Streamers and a  glitter gel pen and this created a few little circles in the background.  I can never resist a little sparkle.

With the smaller oval I stamped the sentiment with Versamark Ink and heat embossed in silver.  This sentiment was applied raised up on a double layer of foam tape and applied slightly overlapping the larger one.




As with yesterday's card (keep scrolling after this post to view it if you haven't already), I used cardstock from the Sweet Summer Color Blends Paper Pad to create the cute Balloon Animal which I highlighted with a white gel pen and applied to the ink blended background with foam tape.

Hope you like my kit cards and have fun creating your own.

My Favorite Things - March Kit - Birthday Vibes

 





Hey everyone it's time for a new card kit release from MFT Stamps and this one is called Birthday Vibes and you will be able to buy it tomorrow March 5th at 10am Eastern.

For this card I've used the following MFT products:-



To create the card I first prepped an A2 panel of MFT's silver sparkle cardstock and glued it to my card base.  Next, I die cut white cardstock using Blueprints 27.  I layered the stencil over the top and softly ink blended to a fade using MFT's Sno Cone Ink.  The panel was backed with white craft foam and applied to the sparkle panel and set to one side.




I used the kit's Birthday Vibes Die-namics to create the large sentiment.   I die cut from sturdy white cardstock first and then I used it again to die cut cardstock from the Sweet Summer Color Blends 6 x 6 Paper Pad which I absolutely adore!  I glued the letters in place and backed the sentiment with dimensional tape and applied to the background.




I used more paper from the paper pad to create the balloon animal using the Balloon Animal Die-namics, I glued the different components together and I highlighted with a white gel pen.  This too was backed with foam tape and applied.

To finish the project I used a glitter gel pen and other toning coloured pens to dot in some interest to the background which makes it feel like a celebration.  Card done!
