The card kit includes:

  • Clear Stamps - Happy Occasions

  • Die-namics - Bold Greenery

  • Die-namics - Bold Blooms

  • Cardstock - Cotton Candy, Ripe Raspberry, Red Hot, Orange Zest, Lemon Drop, Sour Apple, Jalapeño Popper, Cornflower, Grapesicle, Grape Jelly, Smooth White

But now, let's dive into my second project, which features the newest Bold Blooms Die-namics.

I must say I started with a totally different idea in mind, but then I've changed it while making the card.

I firstly die cut a lot of flowers from different MFT Cardstock: Sour Apple, Summer Splash, Blue Yonder, Cotton Candy and Lemon Drop. I initially though I would have layered a piece of vellum with the smaller flower over it, and then a black center...But then I didn't like the result. So, I took some darker cardstock (if you haven't some, you could also cut from the same and darken it up with a Copic) and I cutted the coordinated smaller pieces, then the white central points.

I also took an A2 piece of white cardstock and I softyl ink blended the same colors (I used Regular Distress in Moved Lawn, Salvaged Patina, Stormy Sky, Kitsch Flamingo and Spiced Marmelade, with a really soft touch). From another A2 Smooth White panel, I die cut the word happy with the freebie of this release, which is All the Happy Die-namics, and I stamped the word birthday below. I initially thought I would have used much more flowers, but then I liked a simple "arrangement" and I layered them in a diagonal way. To complete the card, I added some silver gem and the Glaze over the centres. And here's the finished result!

Thanks for stopping by, I really hope you will like it. Be sure to check out the MFT blog to see all the other product previews and for even more ideas and inspiration, please visit the My Favorite Things YouTube channel.

MFT Stamps | June Card Kit Countdown

Hi crafty friends! Today we'll reveal the MFT June Card Kit, which is called HAPPY OCCASIONS


The card kit includes:

  • Clear Stamps - Happy Occasions

  • Die-namics - Bold Greenery

  • Die-namics - Bold Blooms

  • Cardstock - Cotton Candy, Ripe Raspberry, Red Hot, Orange Zest, Lemon Drop, Sour Apple, Jalapeño Popper, Cornflower, Grapesicle, Grape Jelly, Smooth White

There is also a free with $60 which is All the Happy Dienamics


But now, let's dive into my first project, which features the newest Happy Occasions Stamp.

I used a really simple design, but I really loved the result.

I wanted to recreate a sort of "neon" effect, using the big happy word included in the stamp set. I firstly white heat embossed on an A2 piece of Smooth White Cardstock. I used a really small blending brush to add some ink around the letters, being careful not to create harsh lines. I then let it dry a bit and I decided to heat emboss again with white embossing powder. I liked the result, but I wasn't so much happy: so I took the Distress Embossing Glaze in Kitsch Flamingo, I shifted the stamps and I did a third embossing layer. The result was much more better now!

I then used the Small Brick Wall Stencil to create some light texture in the background, using a light grey ink and I also stamped the word birthday with Ripe Raspberry.

To complete the desing, I trimmed the panel to 3,75"x5", I matted it with a hot pink cardstock and then I added it to an A2 White one. I also added some shining pink hearts.

And that's all for today!

MFT Stamps | The June Release is now LIVE!!

Yay! The June MFT Release is now live and it is full of amazing products!


Today I have an ocean themed card, featuring the Mermaid for Each Other stamp set.

I was totally inspired by a card and a You Tube tutorial (click here for the link) I've seen from Kristina Werner (@starofmay) channel: she did an amazing ocean background and I thought I would have given a try.

I took a piece of watercoloring paper and I did some wet on wet technique: i firstly put some water on the whole panel, which I fixed to a wooden board, then I added some Distress Reinkers in Stormy Sky and Chipped Sapphire. I did everything in a few seconds, then I let everything dry all the night.

Meanwhile, I stamped and colored the mermaids with the Copics listed below and I decided to fussy cut them, because I didn't want the white border around the image. I also took a black felt-tip-pen and I inked the white edges from cutting the paper.

When the background was ready, i trimmed it down to 3,75"x5" and I white heat embossed the sentiment at the bottom right corner, then I attached the two mermaids and I matted the whole scene with an A2 Smooth White panel. And here's the finished result!
