MFT Stamps | August Release Countdown - Day 5

Are you ready for a new MFT Release Countdown?

It's that time of the month again and today it is the first day of previews. The release will be live on August 16th at 10am EDT.

Fall is one of my favorite season, maybe because it leads directly to Christmas! And this release is full of autumn themed products that I just cannot wait to share with you all the projects I've been working on!

So, let's dive in into my first project, that features the newest Happy Pumpkin Season stamp designed by Stacey Yacula.

I wanted to create a really simple design, with the scene in the upper part of the card and the sentiment under it. I firstly started with the ink background: I took an A2 piece of Smooth White Cardstock and I masked the bottom part; I then ink blended with Distress Oxides in Wild Honey, Cracked Pistachio and Mermaid Lagoon.

I then moved into the main images of the card: I stamped them into a piece of Neenah Solar White cardstock, using Memento Black ink. I colored them all with copics, you can find the full list below the post. I obviously went for a neutral and desaturated color palette, I wanted to achieve a sort of "fall look". When everything was colored, I die cut all the pieces with coordinating dies.

I finally started working on the sentiment, which comes from the main stamp set. At the beginning I thought I would have used the word YOU from the Stylish Thank You Die-namics, so I die cut all the letters twice and I glued them together. Then, while I was assembling, a little pumpkin fell near the word and I realized I could have used it as the letter O. That's why you find it there! I attaced all my images with a combination of glue and foam tape to create depth on my scene.

To complete the card, I cut a quarter of an inch on the left and I used a strip of Black and White Stripes Paper to complete my design. And that's all for today!

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.
