belated birthday card with mft stamps

I know I spend a lot of time making cards but I am terrible at sending them! I miss a lot of birthdays so I can definitely use a few more belated birthday cards and the latest MFT Stamps release helped me make one!

MFT has a fabulous release hitting the shop tomorrow and it includes the sweetest set, Bright Eyed and Bushy Tailed! 

I had so much fun coloring the cute little squirrel but it took almost all my crafty time (aka nap time) so I added it to a super simple card.

I masked a small section of the card and ink blended a light pink strip. Easy peasy!

Don't forget to pop over to the MFT blog to see more previews of tomorrow's release!

Hugs!

1 stamp 2 ways with mft pressed poinsettias

Are you looking for multiple stamping techniques to use with one stamp set? I might be able to help with a quick cardmaking video sharing two ways I used the MFT Pressed Poinsettias stamp set!

I've been having so much fun with the Pressed Poinsettias stamp set! The set includes solid stamps that layer, which makes it perfect for fun techniques. And it's so pretty! 

In this quick cardmaking process video I'll show you how I achieved the multi-color/ombre stamping and the ink blending & resist combo.

Thanks for stopping by!

mft christmas poinsettias card kit

The MFT Stamps Christmas Poinsettias card kit just hit the shop and it is so beautiful! I am thrilled for fall but I have to admit to humming Christmas carols the past few days while playing with these gorgeous poinsettias, LOL!

Here's one of the cards I made...

I started by die cutting all the lovely Winter Poinsettia pieces from white cardstock.

I used Distress Oxide inks and blending tools to color them. Then I just started adhering pieces to a white card, layering them up with the large poinsettia and holly leaves as the star.

I finished with a stamped sentiment and a few faux black splatters made with a pen.

I highly recommend heading over to the MFT blog to see more of the gorgeous cards my teammates have made!

Thanks for stopping by!

christmas poinsettias coming soon from mft...

There's a beautiful new card kit coming to the MFT shop tomorrow and it feels like Christmas!

Want a quick peek?

For this card I used the gorgeous sentiment from the Christmas Wishes stamp set and the poinsettia from the Pressed Poinsettias stamp set. 

I used blending tools directly on the solid poinsettia stamp to achieve the multi-color image. Should I make a quick video to demonstrate?

Pop over to the MFT blog when you have a chance for more info about the Christmas Poinsettia card kit and see more inspiration!

Thanks for stopping by!

mft fall for you

I know it's only August but I'm having so much fun creating cards for fall!

This card has so many things I love...Distress Oxide inks, ink blending, emboss resist and a new Jenoblade set, Fall for You!

To create it I masked off the top of the card with some low-tack tape and then stamped the background scene in clear embossing ink. I added clear embossing powder and heat set with the tape still in place.

Then I blended Distress Oxide Dried Marigold and Kitsch Flamingo inks over the embossing (with the tape still in place).

I removed the tape and used a paper towel to wipe excess ink off the embossing.

I added a stamped, die cut & Copic colored bear and sentiment. And I love how it turned out!

There's more card ideas on the MFT blog today so I hope you pop over to check them out.

Thanks for stopping by!

mft beeline to your heart

Jenoblade is MFT's latest line and I'm just loving it! There are five new Jenoblade sets hitting the MFT shop today, woohoo!!!

The Beeline to Your Heart set is so, so cute! I had a blast coloring these cutie pie bees and then I decided to pair them with bold die cut words using my beloved Modern Serif Alphabet.

Definitely pop over to the MFT blog to see more projects with the adorable Jenoblade sets!

Hugs!
