My Favorite Things - December Release Countdown Day 4: More Fun Sneak Peeks!

Hello again!

I'm back with another darling project using more of the December Release products! Today's project features the "FREE with $60 Purchase" Sending You Hugs Die-Namics, and I paired it with the I'll Love You Forever Stamp Set and the Fanfare Background Stamp!

I was inspired to created another encouragement/connection card for one of my grandkids! The "FREE with $60 Purchase" Sending You Hugs Die-Namics is absolutely perfect for today's times. When we find ourselves separated from those we love for extended periods of time, one of the ways to maintain connection is to send sweet messages of love and encouragement. The I'll Love You Forever Stamp Set, the latest in the Birdie Brown collection, is absolutely perfect for reminding those you love how important they are to you. I stamped the giraffe image, colored it with my Copic markers, and die cut it out using the Selfie Square Die-Namics. I adhered the image to a Polaroid Shaker Frame die cut, and stamped the sentiment from the I'll Love You Forever Stamp Set. I stamped the Fanfare Background Stamp onto a panel of white card stock using white pigment ink, heat embossed it with white embossing powder, and die cut the panel using the stitched rectangle die from the Slimline Starter Die-Namics. I blended three shakes of green die ink to create the leafy background. I die cut the Sending You Hugs Die-Namics from the background panel, and adhered the panel to a Kraft slimline card base (7" x 8.5", scored at 3.5" on the 7" side). I adhered the assembled polaroid to the panel using foam squares, and adhered some hearts. 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 - 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.
