My Favorite Things - Wednesday Sketch #552: Treat Yourself!

Hello my loves!

I'm dropping by today to share a project that I created that was inspired by this week's Wednesday Sketch Challenge! I hadn't had a chance to play with this month's card kit that released yesterday, so this week's sketch was perfect for vehicle to use the kit! I used the new Celebrate You Stamp Set and the "Free With $60 Purchase" Itty Bitty Birthday Stamp Set to create my project! I also used the new Party Time 6 X 6 Paper Pad! Here's this week's sketch:

And here's my project that was inspired by this week's sketch:

I used the color palette from the Party Time 6 x 6 Paper Pad when I stamped the images from the Celebrate You Stamp Set. I die cut the frame using the A2 Rectangle Frames Die-Namics. The two sentiments were stamped onto some Summer Splash and Fire Coral Cardstocks, and die cut them using the Itty Bitty Strips Die-Namics. All of the MFT products that I used are linked below! The Celebrate You Card Kit is still available for purchase and is an amazing value that includes two stamp sets, and a bunch of other great products!

And while you're there, why not link up a project of your own using this week's sketch for your chance to win a $50 Gift Voucher to the MFT Online Boutique! It's a random draw, but you can't win if you don't play along!

That's it for me today, friends! I'll be back soon with some August Release Countdown projects! Until then, thanks for stopping by and have a spectacular day!

My Favorite Things - Miss Tiina Mini Release Day: Hello Sunshine!

Hello again!

The time has come for you to put the new Miss Tiina products into your shopping cart! But before you start shopping, please check out my project for today's release! This one is super simple, but still impactful! It features the new Hello Sunshine Die-Namics, which includes a sentiment die as well as a sunshine die. I used the sentiment die for this project!

All of the new Miss Tiina products in this mini release are super versatile, sweet and very whimsical! I ink blended the mail panel using the Rectangle Extraordinaire Stencil and some Summer Splash, Caribbean Sea, and Something Blue Dye Inks. If you haven't tried ink blending our new formula dye inks, you really should! They blend so beautifully and smoothly! I ink blended another panel using Poppin' Pink and Lemon Drop (the colors blend in the middle to create an orange hue), and then die cut the Hello Sunshine die from that panel. I adhered some double sided tape to the back of the letters and adhered them to the center of the blue ink blended panel. I adhered some Sparkling Clear sequins and adhered the main panel to a Smooth White card base using foam squares! Super easy, yet really fun and impactful! I've listed and linked all of the MFT products below. You can find ALL of the new Miss Tiina products by clicking on the graphic below - they're all available now, and I'd hurry if I were you - I'm pretty sure these new products are going to fly off the shelves!

My Favorite Things - Miss Tiina Mini Release Day 1: Hello Sunshine!

Hello crafty friends!

Wow! Do we have a special surprise for you all! MFT has collaborated with Miss Tiina, a terrific whimsical illustrator, and she has developed some incredibly awesome products for you, and they'll all be released on Tuesday, July 20, 2021 at 10:00 AM EDT!

I had so much fun playing with these products! My first project features the I Love You More Stamp Set, and sentiment set that is amazingly fun and adorable! It also features the Hello Sunshine Die-Namics and the Summer Waves Stencil, all new products featured in the Miss Tiina Mini Release!

All of the new products from the Miss Tiina Release lends themselves wonderfully for clean and simple designs, which is right up my crafty alley! I masked off a panel and ink blended some Poppin' Pink, Summer Splash, and Caribbean Sea inks, and used the Summer Waves Stencil to create a sweet summer lake. I masked the panel a second time and ink blended some Lemon Drop, Candied Yam, and Summer Splash to create a warm summer sky! I created a polaroid frame by trimming a rectangle to size, and used the Stitched Square STAX Die-Namics to create the aperture. I placed the ink blended panel into my MISTI, temporarily positioned the polaroid frame on the panel so that I could place the sentiment from the I Love You More Stamp Set so that it overlapped with the frame and the panel. I stamped the sentiment using Black Licorice Hybrid Ink, removed the Polaroid frame, and then stamped the sentiment again onto the ink blended panel. I adhered the Polaroid frame onto the ink blended panel using some foam squares, and made sure that the words were aligned properly. I ink blended some Lemon Drop and Candied Yam onto a white panel and die cut the sun using the Hello Sunshine Die-Namics. I adhered the sun to the Polaroid frame using my liquid glue pen. Clean and simple perfection, I tell ya! I've listed and linked all of the MFT products that I used below (although the links to the new products won't be live until the release.)

My Favorite Things - July Release: MFT & Friends!

Howdy!

Yay! It's finally time to purchase all of the new July Release products! But before you go shopping, please take a minute to check out my project for today's post! I pulled out the Summer Safari Stamp Set, the In Stitches Lowercase Alphabet Die-Namics, the A2 Double Stitched Rectangles STAX Die-Namics, and the Watercolor Wash Rectangle Stencil to create today's project!

I stamped, colored and die cut the giraffe image from the Summer Safari Stamp Set. I created a punny sentiment by die cutting the In Stitches Alphabet Die-Namics and the In Stitches Lowercase Alphabet Die-Namics to create the word "giraffe," and combined it with one of the sentiments from the Summer Safari Stamp Set (after a bit of very careful stamp surgery.) I ink blended some Candied Yam, Butterscotch, and Limelight dye inks onto a Smooth White panel using the Watercolor Wash Rectangle Stencil. I die cut the outer edge of the panel using the largest of the A2 Double Stitched Rectangles STAX Die-Namics. I adhered everything together with foam squares, and adhered the assembled panel to an A2 horizontal top-folding Kraft card stock. I've listed and linked all of the MFT products that I used below. All of the July Release products are available for purchase NOW and can be found by clicking on the "ORDER NOW" graphic!

Am I right, or am I right?!! I mean, COME ON! Those smiley fruits are just too cute for words! I stamped, colored and die cut the images and laid them on a checkered table cloth! They're cheering you on, and celebrating something wonderful! What more could you want, right?! I stamped three of the sentiments from the Bunch of Happiness Stamp Set along the right edge!

My Favorite Things - July Release Countdown Day 2: Happy Birthday Watercolor Wash!

Hello again!

As promised, I'm back again today with another super fun project featuring the new Happy Birthday Die-Namics, and I paired it with the new Watercolor Wash Free Form Stencil! I am truly loving these new Watercolor Wash Stencils, but my fave is definitely the Free Form Stencil. And the Happy Birthday Die-Namics are perfect for a very clean and simple design! I also used the new A2 Double Stitched Rectangle STAX Die-Namics to add that awesome stitched detail to the outside edge of the main panel. Look Ma! No Stamping!

I die cut four layers of the Happy Birthday Die-Namics from Black Licorice Card Stock and adhered the layers together with my liquid glue pen. Then I die cut the shadow (included in the set) from some Vellum and adhered the layered die cut on top of that. I adhered the assembled die cut to the ink blended panel that I created using the Watercolor Wash Free Form Stencil - I blended some Poppin' Pink, Lemon Drop, and Summer Splash and overlapped the colors to create the other colors in the rainbow spectrum! This could not be EASIER yet so fun and bold! The perfect watercolor background without the water! I've listed and linked all of the MFT Products that I used below (although the links to the new products won't be live until the Release.)
