MFT January Release Countdown--Day 2

It's just two more days until My Favorite Things January Release!
Have you got your wish lists ready?

Today I'll be sharing two cards. The first features Diamond Die-namics, a set
of gemstone dies in three sizes. I chose the largest diamond and die cut vellum
from the solid die, and the outline from gold glitter card stock.

I wet a piece of watercolor card stock with water, then scribbled some
Zig markers over it to create a rainbow background. The panel was cut with
the new Wonky Stitched Rectangle die, and I adhered the diamond and sequins
after it was dried.

The sentiment was white embossed on a black banner stripand adhered to the panel.
The panel was then adhered to a Grout Gray card base.

Next up is a Valentine for that science geek on your list. Undeniable Chemistry
features protons, neutrons, atoms, and assorted molecules that I white embossed
on watercolor card stock, then ink distressed with Distress inks and spattered with H2O.

After the piece was dried, I die cut the panel with the rectangle element from

Blueprints 24. The sentiment was white embossed on a black banner and stapled

to the panel. I finished off the card with a few black hearts.

MFT January Release Countdown--Day 3

It's three more days until My Favorite Things January Release!
All new products will go on sale Tuesday, January 5th at 10PM EST.

This month's Pure Innocence is I Heart You, a little cutie carrying a love note
that can be used for Valentine's Day, or anytime you want to send out a little love.

I colored her with Prismacolor pencils and die cut her with the matching dies,

sold separately. Did you notice that our Dienamics are now "open", which makes 

them so much easier to line up with the stamped image, before or after you color them.

The striped background paper is from a new collection--Painted Prints Smitten--
and I love that the stripes have an uneven, handpainted look. So fun and whimsical!
The large heart behind the girl is a new Stitched Heart STAX, and I white embossed
one of the sentiments that comes with the stamp set.

MFT January Release Countdown--Day 4

Welcome to Day 4 of My Favorite Things January Release Countdown!

This month's cuteness from Birdie Brown are a herd of adorable fluffy sheep--

Ewe Are the Best. This set can be used for Valentine's Day, and birthdays,

and everything in between! I have two cards to share with you today.

For my first card, I stamped the party sheep onto watercolor card stock with
Black Licorice Hybrid Ink, then colored them with Zig markers and a waterbrush.

I die cut the piece with the Wonky Stitched Rectangle STAX and mounted it
to a black card base. I stamped the punny sentiment with Versamark ink on
a black banner, and white embossed it, then adhered it to the panel.

 Did you spy the single green balloon? There was too much space between
the sheep, so I snuck it in and colored it green. Think of it as a runaway balloon.
The card was finished off with a few Sparkling Clear sequins.

For my second card, I knew that I wanted to create a little scene with the
fluffy cuties! They are just so adorable that I couldn't resist.

Those rolling hills that the sheep are standing on are actually Stitched Cloud edges,
but I flipped them over (like a lot of the DT members did!) and inked them up as
a grassy meadow. I die cut two of the new Puffy Clouds and inked up the edges
with some blue ink for a bit of dimension.

The sheep (did you notice the ram?) were colored with Zig markers and die cut
with the matching Die-namics, sold separately. Everything was assembled on a
Stone Gray card panel, cut with the Wonky Stitched Rectangle STAX. Yep, you're
gonna see me use these babies on almost every project! I LOVE the wonky stitching!

And see that stitched sun? It made an early appearance on my card. Stay tuned

later on during the countdown for info on how you can get it for FREE!
