MFT July 2019 Release Countdown Day 5

Welcome to My Favorite Things July Release Countdown!

We're still in summer mode starting with Sunshine and Friendship from
Birdie Brown paired with a new  Swimming Pool Die-namics.

Three critters and the beach ball were stamped, colored with Copics and cut with
the matching Die-namics. The pool was cut from watercolor card stock, ink
distressed and spattered with water.

The pool was adhered to a kraft card base and the sloth, rhino, and ball were added
to the surface. I stamped some splashes of water and popped up the orangutan (or
is that a chimp?) The card was finished off with the white embossed sentiment.

MFT June Release Countdown Day 1

It's the final Countdown Day until My Favorite Things June Release

can be yours! All new goodies go on sale tomorrow, June 4th at 10AM EST.

Woo hooo!!! Got wish list?


Today I'm sharing a floral card using Tropical Flowers paired with a previous
 "free with $60"  Thank You Die-namics.

I inked, water sprayed then stamped assorted flowers and leaves on watercolor
card stock. I die cut through the panel with the sentiment, backed it with tape, then
cut it from dark brown card stock. The sentiment was then puzzle pieced into the
respective openings.

After adhering the panel to a kraft card base, the card was finished off with
sparkling clear sequins.

MFT June Release Countdown Day 2

It's two more sleeps until My Favorite Things June Release! All new products
will on sale Tuesday, June 4th at 10AM EST in the MFT Store.

Today we're featuring Tropical Flowers and a new sentiment die and stamp set.

I chose the leafy frond from the set and stamped a wreath using the GKD Wreath
Builder Templates. and my Misti. I used several shades of green ink to stamp the
wreath and added colorful dots with Copic markers.

The new "hello" sentiment is a new favorite--such a gorgeous font! The sentiment
was cut from dark gray card stock and adhered over the wreath, then finished off
with the second part of the sentiment. I adhered the panel to a Grout Gray base.

MFT June Release Countdown Day 3

We're halfway through MFT's June Release Countdown!

This month's Pure Innocence is Hey Sunshine--a sweet bathing beauty cooling
off in a pool or at the beach. I chose the pool.

A watercolor panel was ink distressed with two colors of Distress inks. 

The whimsical waves background stamp was sprayed with water then 

"stamped" on the inked piece which took away the color and gave me the

effect that I wanted.

After stamping the little girl, I gave her a two piece suit with the help of a

Copic multiliner pen. She was colored with Copics and details were added with

a white pigment pen, then cut with the matching Die-namics.

The colored panel was adhered to a kraft card base and the girl was popped up

over it. The card was finished off with the sentiment and sparkling clear sequins.

MFT June Release Countdown Day 4

Get ready to shop for spankin' new goodies on Tuesday, June 4th at 10AM EST!

This month Stacey Yacula brings us Picnic Pals--her adorable critters out on a

picnic date, complete with a picnic basket and blanket. How cute is that?

I decided that the critters on my card were having a nighttime picnic and ink
distressed an oval in darker sky and grass colors. The critters, basket, and blanket
were stamped and colored with Copics, then cut with the matching Die-namics and
assembled on the card. The white embossed sentiment finished off the card.

sea mammals for all your aquatic themed projects.

A watercolor panel was ink distressed and spattered with water, then cut with the
Whimsical Waves Die-namics. They were adhered to a light blue panel then trimmed
and adhered to a white card base.

The dolphin, orca, and narwhal were stamped, colored with Copics and cut out with
the matching Die-namics. I adhered them to the waves, popping up the dolphin.

MFT May 2019 Release Countdown Day 1

It's the last day of MFT's May Release Countdown. All new products go on
sale tomorrow, May 7th at 10AM in the MFT Store!

Today I've paired a Purr-fect kitty with the Ric Rac Die-namics, the previous
"free with $60" Die-namics that will be available for purchase in the MFT Store.

Ric rac strips were cut from five colors of MFT card stock and inked for a

bit of dimension. I adhered them to a card base in rainbow order and MFT's

new On-Point Precision Glue was the perfect adhesive for the job.

I stamped the sentiment, then added the frame. The kitty was adhered to the
card, and finished off with colorful enamel dots.

MFT May 2019 Release Countdown Day 2

It's just two more days until MFT's May Release! Are your wish lists ready?

Today I'm featuring Sweet Besties framed by the Falling From the Clouds
Frame Die-namics that I've turned into a tree canopy.

You've seen the possibilities with the Falling From the Clouds Frame, but I've
simplified it into a Polaroid design for the two besties. The frame was cut twice
from white and Natural card stock. I ink distressed the cloud portion on the
white piece before trimming it out and adhering it to the Natural piece.

The two girls were stamped, colored with Copics then cut with the matching
Die-namics. I stamped some flowers in purple Distress ink before coloring them
with Copics and cutting them out. All the pieces were adhered to a white card
base and finished off with the sentiment.

MFT May 2019 Release Countdown Day 3

We're halfway to MFT's May Release! All new products will go on sale

Tuesday, May 7th at 10AM EST in the MFT Store.

If there's a fruit that screams "summer", it has to be the watermelon and MFT
has a fun Watermelon Slice Die-namics--complete with seeds and a "bite" mark
--and some Sweet Sentiments that pair perfectly with it.

The watermelon flesh was cut from dark pink card stock and ink distressed with
Abandoned Coral Distress ink. The rind was cut from white and green card stock and
some shading was added for interest.

The seeds on the watermelon were cut from black card stock and pieced into
the respective spaces. A strip of patterned paper was adhered to the bottom and
the watermelon was adhered over it. I stamped the sentiment then added
some seeds on the bottom that were die cut from black Fun Foam.

MFT May 2019 Release Countdown Day 4

It's Day 4 of MFT's May Release Countdown! This month's Birdie Brown is
You Bring Out the Sunshine. I decided to give my Copics a break and colored 
her with Prismacolor pencils on kraft card stock.

I stamped her with brown ink on Desert Storm card stock then colored her with
colored pencils. When the coloring was complete, and the stamp was still on the
door of the Misti, I inked it up and stamped her once again to darken the outline.
Grass was drawn on the bottom to ground her.

I prepared a card base by stamping the All Lined Up background stamp on Desert
Storm card stock with Kraft dye ink. The little girl was cut with the scallop rectangle
die then popped up on the base. I borrowed a butterfly from Adorable Elephants and
adhered it on the edge of the panel, then finished off with the stamped sentiment.

May Release and leave a comment on today's post at the MFT blog. You could be
the random winner of a $75 prize. Hope to see you tomorrow!
