Curtain Call – Candy Cane

I’m playing along with the Curtain Call Candy Cane Challenge.

With the Christmas holiday just around the corner, I’m finding myself creating quick cards using my on-hand supplies.

I die cut white cardstock with the Lifestyle Crafts Antlers die allowing room below for a heat embossed Stampin’ Up sentiment. After adding the sentiment, I adhered the panel, cut with a rectangle die, over Candy Cane striped patterned paper. I then added the panel to a red cardstock base.

I also put together another quick card using a positive Antlers die cut. I cut some patterned paper for the background and added a square frame, cut with the largest die in the MFT Die-namics Square Frames set.

Off to do some last minute holiday shopping!

Super Simple MFT Sweater Holiday Tag

Today, I’m sharing a super simple tag idea using partial die cutting with the MFT Comfy Sweater die.

    • To create the tag, I used the larger sweater die, in the My Favorite Things Comfy Sweater set, to cut a 7″ x 3 1/2″ piece of cardstock (scored and folded to create a 3 1/2″ square).
    • I extended just a bit of the sweater over the top of the folded edge and ran the die through my Big Shot.
    • I die cut the cuffs, collar and sweater bottom out of white cardstock and glued those to the tag front.
    • I heat embossed the inside of the tag with a sentiment from the MFT Cozy Greetings set.

It’s easy to match the sweater tags to your gift wrap!

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!

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.

My Favorite Things – Comfy Sweaters

Today, I’m sharing a card created with some new goodies from My Favorite Things. Sweaters have been a really big trend this season for papercrafting and the MFT Comfy Sweater die has two sizes from which to choose!

I cut the sweaters from patterned paper with the smaller of the two sweater dies in the Comfy Sweater set, and finished them with cuffs, collar and a bottom hem cut from white cardstock. The patterned paper scale worked well with the die size. I stamped the sentiment from Cozy Greetings on white cardstock and cut the card panel with the stitched die in the Blueprints 13 set.
