MFT Stamps – Warmest Wishes

Today, I’m sharing a card featuring the new Warmest Wishes stamp set from My Favorite Things in a color combination I don’t think I’ve ever used before!

I Copic-colored the adorable girl from the set, pairing her with a circle stamped and heat embossed with the Star Background and a sentiment from Cheerful Christmas Greetings. The white panel was cut with the stitched die in the Blueprints 13 set. (One of my most used dies!) In terms of the colors, I found that the green Copics blended well. I first tried using shades of red for her coat, but I was much happier with the results using green. One fun thing about coloring – you can try as many different combinations as you heart desires!

The Cutting Edge Challenge #15

It’s time for another Cutting Edge Challenge! Our inspiration this week is an amazing card created by Design Team member Amy Kolling.

Here’s my take on her card.

The Cutting Edge Challenge #15

I was inspired by Amy’s colors, the snowflake motif and the diagonal lines.

I cut the chevrons with the Triple Chevies Confetti Cuts die and adhered them to the white cardstock base. I stamped and heat embossed a sentiment from Seasonal Sentiments and added silver foil snowflakes, cut with one of the dies in the Let It Snow Confetti Cuts set.

My Favorite Things Cool Day Shaker Card

Today, I’m sharing a shaker card created with the My Favorite Things Cool Day stamp and coordinating die sets.

I colored the bear, which I stamped with the Cool Day stamp and cut with the coordinating die, with Copics. I went with blue and pink to match my patterned papers. The bear was colored with W1.

The bear is so cute! I plan to color him again with a masculine color scheme!

I cut patterned papers with a die in the MFT STAX Decorative Circle Tag set. I added snow banks, cut with the MFT Snow Drifts set, to the background, and then adhered the bear. I cut the front ornament with a circle die that I backed with acetate. I added foam tape around the opening to create a sandwich for the sequins.

The ornament could be hung on a tree or added to a card base, which is what I did. I heat embossed a sentiment from Cool Day on a banner tag cut with the Fishtail Flags set. The white card panel was cut with Blueprints 13.

Penny Black Gold Embossed Holiday Card

Today I’m sharing a card created with a Penny Black stamp image and die cut sentiment. Metallic accents are an easy way to add sparkle to a holiday project.

I gold-embossed 40-337 Sprightly on green cardstock and trimmed the panel so that the card base would have a border. I also wanted to be able to easily adhere the vellum strip to the back of the card panel. To the strip, I added  the die-cut Merry sentiment from 51-021 Love & Joy (cut several times for extra depth).
