My Favorite Things - New Greetings Collection Sentiment Stamp Set Release

 

Hello!  I'm back with my second card for the latest release from MFT Stamps.  This is their new Greetings Collection which is a series of very useful and fun sentiment stamp sets.   Here's what I've used to make this birthday card:-

Birthday Sass

Monkey Around

Monkey Around Die-namics

Stitched Pinking Edge Rectangle Stax Die-namics

Balloon Party Stencil

I started with a white panel of cardstock which was die cut with the Pinking Edge Rectangle Stax.  I masked the edges along the dotted line and then used MFT's inks and the Stencil to ink blend the party balloons for a colourful background.

I backed this panel with a kraft panel and attached the focus panel with a white layer of craft foam behind it and then attached the kraft panel to an A2 white panel then to the card base.  I set this to one side.

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

Monkeys - E77, E44, E43, E71, E70, R000

Blushes - R22, R21, R20, R00

Banana - Y19, Y15, Y06, Y02, E71, E70

I highlighted some points with a white gel pen then blackened their eyes with a black glaze pen and highlighted the eyes once dry.  I die cut using the coordinating die-namics, backed them with dimensional foam tape and applied to the balloon background.

I stamped the new and fun sentiment on a sentiment strip and applied it with more foam tape under the monkeys and I stamped HAPPY BIRTHDAY from the same stamp set inside the card.

I finished by adding some white Nuvo Drops throughout the background and around the monkeys.

My Favorite Things - February Release Countdown Day Four

 

We're starting the big countdown today to the February 27th new release from MFT Stamps which you can get at 10am Eastern on that day.  Here's what I've used to create my first card for this release:-

Monkey Around Stamp & Die Duo

A2 Rectangle Frames Die-namics

Stitched Snow Drifts Die-namics

Monkey Around is one of the new Jenoblade illustrated stamp sets and I decided to create an always fun shaker card.

I ink blended a background panel with Twisted Citron and Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide Inks.  I splashed the background with metallic watercolor paint loosened with a drop of water.  I die cut twice using the Rectangle Frames to create two identical frames.  I applied an acetate panel to the back of one and then added dimensional tape around the outside. I flipped it upside down and filled it with a sequin and embellishment mix that I created from my stash.  I used my anti static tool to run along the edges of the foam tape to remove the stickiness and then peeled off the backing of the tape.  I applied the second frame die cut to the green blended background and then carefully aligned and stuck down this backing panel to seal the shaker unit.   This was then glued to my sturdy card base.

In creating the frames I was left with negative cuts.  Perfectly sized of course and so I just used the Snow Drifts die-namics to create a grounding for the monkeys.  I attached this to the shaker window using ScorPal tape.

Next I stamped the images using Memento Ink in Rich Cocoa and then I coloured with the following Copic marker combinations:-

Monkeys - E77, E44, E43, E31, E41

Blushes - R22, R21, R00

Bananas - Y19, Y15, Y06, W1

Pink - R22, R21, R00, R000

Teal - BG15, BG32, G00

I used a white gel pen to dot in some interest and highlight certain points then I die cut using the coordinating die-namics and I applied them to the shaker window using dimensional foam tape.

All that was needed now was to stamp the sentiment on a sentiment strip  and stick this down and the card was complete.
