My Favorite Things - December Release Countdown Day 5: Sneak Peeks Begin Today!

Hello Friends!


Today is the beginning of the December Release sneak peeks! And we have some adorable deliciousness in store for you all, so I hope you'll stick around all week! My project today features the new Joyful Giraffe Die-Namics, the Giraffe Greetings Stamp Set, and the Fanfare Background Stamp! I was inspired by one of the sentiments from the Giraffe Greetings Stamp Set to create an encouragement card for one of my grandsons.


With Covid and all of the restrictions that have come because of it, e-learning and virtual school are hard. One of my grandsons is actually thriving in school, despite all of the limitations that he has come to expect from school! He's taken these hard circumstances, and has risen above them to continue to excel and do great things! I'm so incredibly proud of him, and thought that this card would encourage him to stay awesome. The Joyful Giraffe Die-Namics are delightful - he's big and bold, and so stinkin' cute! I had fun creating him. And the Giraffe Greetings Stamp Set has multiple occasion sentiments that pair perfectly with the giraffe dies. The Fanfare Background Stamp reminded me of leaves, so I stamped it with white pigment ink onto white card stock and heat embossed it with white embossing powder. Then I blended some Limelight, Sour Apple and Gumdrop Green dye inks over the top of the embossed background to create a gradient leafy background! I added some foliage to the giraffe's mouth by using the Fab Foliage Die-Namics to die cut some Limelight and Gumdrop Green card stocks. I've listed and linked all of the MFT products that I used below.

That's it for me today, kids! I'll be back tomorrow with another countdown project to share with you! I hope you're all staying safe and well!
