MFT Stamps - January Release Countdown - Day 2

Are you ready for the MFT January Release? There are only 2 days until the release, which will be live on Tuesday 11th, at 10am EST.

Today the DT is highlighting some Gnome-themed stuff and this is the card I created.

I really really love that Giant Love die-namics, it is perfect to fill in both horizontal and vertical A2 cards.

I firstly started ink-blending and A2 panel, using Distress Oxides in Peacock Feathers, Tumbled Glass, Tattered Rose and Worn Lipstick. I then splattered the two darkest colors in the two "half" of the panel and some Pearl White Gansai Tambi Starry Watercolor.

While the background was drying, I started working on the images: I stamped some gnomes from Love you gnome matter what and the Love to my gnomies, which is a freebie with 60$ purchase. I used Memento Black ink, since I wanted to color with copics (you can find the full list below). I then die cut everything using coordinating dies.

I also die cut the Giant Love three times, twice from Smooth White cardstock and once from Eiffel Tower cardstock: i glued them together slightly moving the darkest die cut to create a halo to my letters. I also white heat embossed the sentiment on a piece of the same Eiffel Tower cardstock.

I die cut the background panel using the largest of the A2 Stitched Rectangle STAX Set 1 and I arranged everything on my scene: I used both liquid glue and foam adhesive to create layers.

To complete the card, I added some white polymer clay confetti at the top right angle and I matted the whole scene using a 4,5"x5,75" White Cardstock.

And that's all for today!

MFT Stamps | January Release Countdown - Day 3

Happy Saturday friends! Can you believe we are halfway to the MFT January Release Day? It will be live on January 11th, at 10am EST.

For today's card I played again with alcohol markers and the newest stamp set illustrated by Tiddly Inks, called "Sweet Honey Bee".

I firstly started with the alcohol ink background. I applied some Dandelion, some Sunset Orange and some Gold Mixative and I let them move using blending solution. I am always afraid because I can't control the result but this time I was super satisfied with the background. Before the ink was completely dry, I added some gold foil, which you can see in the photo below.

I then stamped the sweetest bee girl from the stamp set and many little bees on a piece of Neenah Classic Crest paper, I colored everything with copics (see below the post for the combos) and I die cut all the pieces using coordinating dies.

I moved to my sentiment, which I decided to customize using some previous released stamps and dies. I white heat embossed the BEE word, as well as the scripry sentiment and I assanged it on my panel.

To complete the card, I matted the scene using a 6"x4" Black and White Stripes patterned paper.

And that's all for today!

MFT Stamps | January Release Countdown - Day 4

Are you ready for the new MFT January Release? There are 4 days left until you can shop it. It will go live on January 11th at 10am EST and I just cannot wait to show you what I've been working on!

For today's project I wanted to try a different technique, using the newest "You are so Loved" stamp set.

I really really love hand lettered sentiment like this and I was totally inspired by Maria Peters, an amazing card designer who often works with colored paper.

I took five pieces of 3"x4.25" MFT colored cardstock (Amarena Cherry, Ripe Raspberry, Cotton Candy, Chantilly Cream and Lemon Drop). I positioned the stamp in the stamping tool (which is really important to get the perfect result) and I stamped the hand lettered image using Eiffel Tower Premium Dye Ink to create the halo. I let everything dry and then I moved the main stamp to the left, in order to let the dark halo show. I carefully white heat embossed the sentiment on all the 5 colors and then I cut all the pieces using a guillotine.

I was now ready to re-assemble the 3"x4.25" panel using all the different pieces: you can create 5 different striped panels, but here I used only two to create the card and the matching tag.

To complete the card, I stamped the "Never Ending Background" stamp using Kraft Premium Dye Ink and I white heat embossed one of the "Itty Bitty Love" sentiments.

To create the tag, I die cut the panel using the "Do-It-All Gift Tag Die-namics" and I simply added a ribbon and a black and white twine.

And that's all for today!
