MFT July Card Kit--Let's Toast (with a Twist) Release Day

It's time! MFT's Let's Toast (with a Twist) Card Kit can now be purchased in the
MFT Store! I have one last card to share with you--a shaker card that was inspired
by one of the sentiments in the kit.

The wine glass die was cut three times into a panel. Three glasses were die cut and

inked in pink, yellow and red inks. Acetate was adhered behind the glasses, then each

glass was popped into an open space.

Coordinated colors of sequins were placed in each space before the panel was adhered
in place over them. The white embossed sentiment finished off the card.

This amazing kit comes with an interactive element that makes the glasses "clink".
Teammate Laura, who designed the dies has a wonderful tutorial here if you're inclined
to give this a try. The dies can be used with other stamps, too and I'm hoping to try
them out on a future project.

So off you go to grab your Card Kit! And remember to comment on all team members'
blogs for a chance to be the random winner of a $50 MFT gift voucher.

It's Day 2 of previews of MFT's July Card Kit--Let's Toast (with a Twist). This fun kit

I ink distressed more cocktail glasses in rainbow colors then adhered them to a
white card base. Here's a pic of the temporary layout of the glasses.
 

After permanently adhering down all the glasses, I trimmed off anything that was
hanging over the edge of the card.

The sentiment was white embossed on a strip of black card stock and the card was
finished off with a few sequins.

glasses over it to ground them.

The sentiment is the "free with $60" Die-namics that was cut from dark gray
card stock and adhered over the "shadow" portion of the sentiment. I added a bit of
"salt" on the green margarita, and finished off the card with clear sequins.

MFT Flowers in Bloom Card Kit Day 2

Are you ready for more inspiration with MFT's Flowers in Bloom Card Kit?
This fabulous kit will go on sale tomorrow, June 25th at 10AM EST

I'll have to admit to not being a "flower person" but these flowers are so
easy to color in whatever coloring medium you choose and they make me
feel like I know what I'm doing. 😉

For today's card, I white embossed the blooms on watercolor card stock then
colored them in with Zig markers and a water brush. When the panel was
dry, I cut them out with the matching Die-namics.

I ink distressed a separate panel with Cracked Pistachio Distress Oxide ink
then spattered it with water. A frame was adhered over it and the panel was
adhered to a Grout Gray card base. I added the blooms and finished off
with the white embossed sentiment.

Here's a peek at Flowers in Bloom, which goes on sale Tuesday, June 25th
at 10AM EST in the MFT Store.

For today's card, I white embossed the flowers, slightly off center on 

watercolor card stock. I "dropped" color into each petal with a Zig marker,
then added water to help the color spread.

I trimmed the panel and adhered it to a Limelight card base. The "hello" was
also cut from Limelight card stock and inked on the bottom before being
adhered to the card.

A strip of diagonal striped pattern paper was adhered under the sentiment
and the card was finished off with sequins.

So before you run off, I have one more Card Kit project to share with you.

Before I removed the flowers from the Misti, I added another branch and stamped

the flowers in landscape format on a white card base. I grounded the flowers with a

strip of patterned paper and a white embossed sentiment. The card was finished off

with multi colored enamel dots for contrast.

There are so many possibilities for coloring the flowers, but the easiest is to
stamp them as silhouettes and having a Misti or any type of stamp positioner makes
mass producing quick and easy.

We hope you have fun with the Flower Silhouettes Card Kit and be sure to use
#mftstamps when you share your projects on social media.
Happy shopping!
 

MFT Flower Silhouettes Card Kit Day 2

Are you ready for more Card Kit inspiration? The Flower Silhouettes

Card Kit will go on sale tomorrow, April 23rd at 10AM EST in the MFT Store.

For today's project, I inked up the flowers with Distress inks and sprayed

them with water before stamping on a white card panel, for a watercolor look.

I ink distressed lightly around the panel with Peeled Paint Distress ink,

then adhered it to a Grout Gray card base. 

I white embossed the sentiment on a strip of white card stock, then ink

distressed with the same Peeled Paint Distress ink. I cut it out with the

Slanted Sentiment Strip Die-namics, then popped it up on the card.

MFT Flower Silhouettes Card Kit--Day 1

It's time to meet My Favorite Things newest Card Kit--Flower Silhouettes.

Here's a sneaky peek a the kit. Visit today's post at My Favorite Things for a detailed
description of the kit's contents. The Flower Silhouettes Card Kit will go on sale  
Tuesday, April 23rd at 10AM EST in the MFT Store.

For today's project, I stamped the flowers as true silhouettes. I masked off a portion
of a panel with Post-it tape, then ink distressed several colors and spattered some
water over the surface.

After the panel dried I stamped  the flowers with Extreme Black ink and
finished off the card with the stamped sentiment and black sequins.
The panel was popped up on a white card base with dimensional tape.

Since the stamps were still on the door of the Misti, I decided to make a
second card with different colors and a different sentiment. Cards can be
quickly mass produced with the silhouette images and a sentiment can be
added as needed, depending on the occasion, or simply left off altogether.

markers and cut him out with the matching Die-namics.

The Stitched Dome Frame was cut twice from watercolor card stock. I ink distressed
the inside piece with two colors of Distress inks and spattered water over it. Two frames
were adhered on a card base and the inked piece was placed into the opening.

I popped up the bear and stamped the sentiment beside him. The card was finished off
with three butterflies from the set.
