MFT October Release Countdown Day 2



It's just two more days till My Favorite Things October Release!
Today I'm sharing some fun products from Laina Lamb--Stay Cool and
a Die-namics Cool Cup so you can create tons of cool beverage cards!

And because this is such a fun set, I made two cards to share with you.
First up is a melon bubble tea drink--my favorite!


The cup was die cut from watercolor card stock and colored with a Zig marker
and some water. The "bubbles"--tapioca pearls--were made with the dot stamp
from Snowflake Flurry which happens to be the perfect size.

I freehand cut a thicker straw and stamped the sentiment choices on
the side of the cup. Both cards have backgrounds created with the
new Stencil Crosshatch, stenciled with kraft ink.


The second card happens to be a regular iced coffee with a touch
of whipped cream--yum! The cup was die cut from watercolor card stock
and colored with a brown Zig marker and water.


The whipped cream and straw were cut from white card stock and
I colored the straw with a green Copic marker. Can you see the domed lid?
I die cut it from acetate, and assembled everything on the card base.
The sentiment was white embossed and adhered to the cup.

My big adhesive secret for gluing acetate? This. Tombow Mono Aqua.
It's a clear glue so it makes sense using it on clear acetate, right?
It's quite awesome.

Visit the MFT blog for more inspiration from the designers participating in today's
countdown release, and don't forget to leave a comment there to win prizes!
Hope to see you tomorrow, thanks for stopping by!

    1. Hi Sharron! A friend asked me how this glue works on vellum and I haven't tried it out. I think it would depend on how thick the vellum is and what you're attaching it to. I used it on acetate and because it's clear on clear, it doesn't show. Hope that helps!

  18. The cross hatch background coloring is sublime. The white embossed words on the second card remind me of the cream on the coffee. Yummy!
