My Favorite Things - Miss Tiina Release Day

Hi!   The brand new Miss Tiiina release by My Favorite Things is now available for purchase and I've made this card for some extra inspiration for you!

To create this card I first used a panel from the new Perfect Plaid 6 x 6 Paper Pad and die cut it to size using the A2 Stitched Rectangles 2 Die-namics, giving it a stitched edge.   I glued this to a full size A2 panel.

I used the new Hello Sunshine Die-namics and cut the sun from Orange Zest Prestige Cardstock.  I die cut 4 times and glued each die cut to the next, highlighting the top sun layer with my white gel pen.  This was glued to the corner of the patterned panel.

The words HELLO SUNSHINE from the same die-namics set were die cut 4 times each from white cardstock, they were glued in stacks just like the sun and then aligned using the plaid pattern as my guide and glued to the background panel.

Lastly I stamped the palm tree and a penguin from the Penguins in Paradise stamp set.  I coloured them with the following Copic markers:-

Penguin - T9, T7, T5, T3 

Penguin Belly - R000, R0000

Feet and Beak - YR04, YR09

Palm Tree - G28, YG67, YG17, YG06, YG03, E44, E43, E42

I die-cut these elements, highlighted them with the white gel pen and adhered them with dimensional foam tape!

Many thanks for stopping by - I hope you treat yourself to something from this new summery Miss Tiina release.

Happy crafting!

My Favorite Things - June Vault Release - Countdown Day 2

Welcome to my blog on this Countdown Day 2 to the My Favorite Things Vault Release on June 22nd at 10am EST.   As you probably know by now all of the Birdie Brown sets that were in the vault are being released.   By the end of this year they will all be available for purchase and will stay stocked in the store.  This month 14 sets are being released and today I'm featuring a slimline card created using 'Penguins in Paradise' which is one of those you can buy on the 22nd.

To create this card I first needed to create 'paradise' for the penguins so to that end I masked and ink blended a panel of white cardstock to create sky and water using Distress Oxides and a blender brush.   At the bottom I created a beach using the Slimline Drifts and Hills  and more Distress Oxides.    I die cut this panel using the Slimline Starter Die-namics and adhered it to a full size slimline panel of white cardstock which in turn was glued to my prepared card base.

I stamped the entire Penguins in Paradise stamp set and did multiples of the palm trees and cocktails and hibiscus flowers.  I coloured all images with Copic markers.

Palm Trees E44, E43, E42, YG03, YG25, YG07 and G16

Penguins W5, W4, W3, W2, Y15, Y02 and YR09

Blues B04, B12 and B41

Purples V05, RV66 and V06

Hibiscus FYR1, YR04 plus gel pen for pinky-purple centre detail.

All images were die cut using the coordinating die-namics and points were highlighted with a white gel pen to make them pop!

I used dimensional foam tape and adhered everything in place on the background panel in the layout I'd previously decided upon.

I stamped the sentiments from the set to two strips of white cardstock and adhered them and a very few sparkling clear sequins were tucked here and there to finish off the card.

Don't you just love those solemn little faces?

I hope you enjoyed my card today and I really do appreciate you stopping by my blog and I love to read any comments you leave for me.

Have a happy crafty day!
