My Favorite Things - September Release Spotlight Day 2

 

Well friends, I'm back with a second day of Spotlighting the September release by MFT Stamps and the cuteness continues today with this new Yuzu illustrated stamp set.  Read on for the details:-

Sweet Honey Bear

Sweet Honey Bear Die-namics

A2 Rectangle Frames Die-namics

I made an A2 panel of Sno-Cone cardstock and glued it to my card base.   I used the A2 Stax Die-namics to create a white panel and glued that to the blue panel.  I die cut a frame and then masked off an area on the white panel that was a little smaller than the inside measurements of the frame and I used cloud and grass stencils by MFT to create a soft backdrop for the main images.  I removed the mask and applied the frame with foam tape and set it to one side.

I stamped the images with Memento Ink in Rich Cocoa and coloured with the following Copic markers:-

Tree Branch - W5, W4, W3, W1

Leaves  - Y28, Y26, Y21

Hive - Y28, Y26, Y21, W4, W2

Bears - E77, E44, E43, E42, R21, R20

Honeypot - C5, C3, C1, C0, E21, E11, E00

Points were highlighted with a white gel pen and then the images were die cut and applied with foam tape to the framed out background.

To finish this birthday card I just had to stamp the chosen sentiment which I'd allowed space for when adhering the images  and then it was complete!

My Favorite Things - Dog Squad

A new day and a new card for MFT Stamps that I created using the new Dog Squad stamp set together with the Tree Builder Die-namics.

The Dog Squad stamp set is a match made in heaven for me since we have 3 beloved Pugs and so I pulled those stamp images from the set and stamped them up first.    I coloured them with the following Copic markers:-

Bodies - E43, E42, E41, E40

Muzzles and Ears - W6, W5, W4, W3, W2, W1, W0, W00

I die cut the images with the coordinating die-namics and set them to one side while I created the background.

Did you spot the fun new Rolling Hills Stencil?  This is what I've used to create my background of 3 different grassy colours.  I dotted in some further interest and then I used the new Tree Builder Die-namics to create my trees - these are fun to make with endless possibilities.   I adhered mine directly to the background and then framed it out using the A2 Rectangle Frames Die-namics - which I couldn't live without!  The frame was applied with dimensional foam tape

I then added my Pugs and stamped the sentiment from Best Dog Friends to a sentiment strip from Essential Stitched Sentiment Die-namics, everything was applied with foam tape.

I kept the embellishments to a minimum and just used some white Nuvo drops for a little 'something and nothing' interest.   Card done!

My Favorite Things - Blooming Friendship

Did you happen to pick up the sweet Blooming Friendship stamp set and dies from the latest release by MFT Stamps?   Here's an inspiration card for you that I had fun making.

To kick off I used Snow Drifts Cover-Up Die-namics to create the backdrop and I ink blended softly with Mowed Lawn Distress Ink and then recessed those pieces back in to the outer cut glueing to an A2 panel beneath as I want.   Over the top I framed this out using A2 Rectangle Frames, selecting the largest size and white cardstock then glueing the cut down.

Now I stamped all of the images from the stamp set and coloured with Copic markers.   Here's what I used:-

Bunnies - E42, E41, E0000

Kittens - W4, W3, W2, W1, W00

Chicks - E01, YR20, E51, YR30

Cheeks - R20, R00, R000

Greens - G16, YG17, YG03, YG01

Pinks - RV04, RV02, RV10, RV0000

A white gel pen was used to highlight a few spots then I die cut the images using the coordinating die-namics, arranged them on the background panel and adhered with foam tape.

I decided no embellishments were required and stamped the sentiment and with that I was finished.

Rachelle Anne Miller - Kangaroo

Hi!  I have a new card today using a digital stamp illustrated by Rachelle Anne Miller called Kangaroo.  This sweet image is a joy to colour so why don't you treat yourself to the instant satisfaction of buying a digital stamp today!

When you buy a digital stamp from Rachelle Anne Miller, it is delivered to you by email within minutes.  You merely download the image and then send it to print on your home printer.   You can use whatever cardstock works for how you intend to colour the image and so for my card today I used Copic markers and therefore I placed a panel of Copic friendly cardstock into my printer.   The ink does not run when using alcohol markers in case you were wondering!

I couldn't resist colouring the Kangaroo and her sweet little Joey in her pouch first.  I used Copic markers in E0000, E40, E41 and W1 and W2 with R00 and R20 for the pink parts.

I then turned my attention to the background and I started with E41 at the bottom blending to G20, then R000, Y0000 and finally BG0000 for just a pretty wash of colour.   These colours are so pale that you can just sweep the colour on over the florals since I was going to go more vivid with those and the light colour underneath would affect nothing.

I then came back to do the florals using more colours than I could possibly list and I finished with the sweet bird delivering the flower which I coloured with B91, B41 and B12.

Points were highlighted with a white gel pen.

To finish the card I used the A2 Rectangles Frames Die-namics from MFT Stamps to die cut a simple white frame which i backed with foam tape and applied.

Finally, I formed the word 'hi' using 'Thickers' from American Crafts.   These are quite literally 'thick stickers' and there are numerous alphas and numbers to choose from and what I've used in this card is gold but behind that gold and visible from an angle it is a pale greenish blue that just went beautifully with the background.   You can buy them directly from American Crafts but also Amazon carries quite a few.

Happy crafting and hope to see you back here soon!

My Favorite Things - Color Challenge 168

There's a brand new Color Challenge at My Favorite Things starting today and this is my inspiration card which I hope will tempt you to enter your own challenge entry for a chance to win a $50 gift voucher.  My card uses the new 'Flutterby Friends' stamp set.

To create my card I ink blended a panel of cardstock using Spun Sugar and Kitsch Flamingo Distress Oxide Inks.  The lighter of the two pinks created a subtle focus.   I uses white acrylic paint to splash up the background and over the top I layered a grass portion created by die cutting with the Grassy Hills Die-namics  and then ink blending using Distress Oxides in Twisted Citron and Rustic Wilderness.

I used the A2 Rectangles Frames Die-namics to die cut a piece of white cardstock to create the frame which I backed with foam tape and applied.

I placed the framed panel in my Misti and doubly stamped the sentiment from Flutterby Friends and then this was set aside for a few minutes.

On Copic friendly cardstock I stamped my images from Flutterby Friends and coloured them with Copic markers, the coordinating die-namics were used to die cut the images which I then backed with dimensional foam tape and applied to the scene.

Points were highlighted with a white gel pen and the the little girl's butterfly wings and the butterflies were glittered.

The panel was applied to my card base and the card was then complete.

I hope you join the challenge!

Release Day at My Favorite Things - MFT and Friends

Hello Friends, the My Favorite Things release is now available to buy and today I'm sharing a card using Grow Together illustrated by Pure Innocence which is one of the many beautiful new stamp sets.

To create this cheerful and summery card I first created an A2 panel using patterned paper from the Fun In The Sun 6 x 6 Paper Pad.  I also die cut the second largest frame from the A2 Rectangle Frames Die-namics using the new Poppin' Pink Prestige Cardstock.  I also used the Grassy Hills Die-namics to cut a little bit of turf using Prickly Pear Prestige Cardstock.

I adhered the grass piece to the reverse of the frame which I then backed with dimensional foam tape and centred on my background panel.

I stamped the images from Grow Together on Copic friendly cardstock and coloured with Copic markers.  I used the coordinating Die-namics to die cut the images which I backed with foam tape and applied to the scene.

The sentiment was stamped on to a Skinny Strips Die-namics sentiment strip that I also die cut from the Prickly Pear cardstock.  I used Versamark Ink and then heat embossed in white.  This was applied to the scene.

To embellish and finish the card 3 little Petite Clouds Die-namics clouds were added under the sentiment a a few sparkling clear sequins added the necessary twinkle.

Happy shopping over on the MFT website everyone and enjoy this wonderful new release.
