MFT Stamps | October Release Spotlight_Day 1

Hi friends! Have you already shopped the October Release?

Today the MFT Design Team is showcasing some of the newest products, which are already available for purchase!

And now, let's dive into today's project, that features one of the two stamps set designed by Jenoblade and called Gno Ho Ho! But before that I have an important thing to share. This month, 10% of retail sales of the Gno Ho Ho stamp set & Die-namics (which I feature in my card) will be donated to Give Kids the World.

Give Kids The World Village is an 89-acre, whimsical nonprofit resort in Kissimmee, Florida, that provides week-long, cost-free wish vacations to critically ill children and their families from around the world.

So here's my project!

This is a really simple design but I loved how it turned out. I had the idea to create a sort of background panel using the Christmas lights die included in the JB Gnome Home Die-namics, so I started die cutting all of the pieces I needed. The string was cut from sparkly silver cardstock, while I used some colored cardstock to cut all the smaller lights bulbs. I then took a piece of dark grey cardstock (2,25"x5,5") and I carefully glued down everything. I then stamped the gnome with lights and I colored him with the copics listed below the post.

I die cut him with coordinating dies but since I didn't like the white edge (and fussy cutting all those lights WASN'T an option), I tried different Copics until I found the one that matched best with my background cardstock; I colored that border with the coordinating color. I attached it with foam tape.

To complete the design, I white heat embossed the sentiment below the gnome, I added the panel onto an A2 white cardstock and I added glossy on all the light bulbs. And here's the finished design!

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.
