MFT Camp Create....

It's time for another Camp Create at My Favorite Things.  I am the Camp Counselor for today and our activity of the day is Monochromatic Magic!  I have a video for today's class over on the MFT YouTube Channel.  You can check out today's lesson by clicking HERE.  

I used a new background stamp called Make Your Mark from the August Release to create this ombre monochromatic background all in pinks.  

This card was not in the video, but just gives one more example on how you can create a monochromatic look with watercolor....

A quick and simple wash in the background can stretch that color out.  

Now here is the fun part!  Leave a comment on the video over at MFT's YouTube Channel and you will be in the running to win a $15 gift voucher to MFT's store.  If you participate in Camp Create and make something for each of the 5 days activities, you will be eligible to win a $150 gift voucher to MFT.  WOW!  So fun!  Stop by the MFT Blog to see more of the prize details.

So glad you stopped in today and I can't  to see what you create!  :)

MFT Release Replay...

The August Release at My Favorite Things is a fun one!  The latest halloween set is adorable and makes me think.....where did the summer go?  For today's Release Replay, I have a card using the new set called    and I mixed it with the Stitched Collage Frame die.



To create this card, I did a simple watercolor wash on watercolor paper.  Then I die cut that same panel with the Stitched Collage Frame.  I added the stitched from in black directly on to the black card base and then popped up the watercolor panels on foam tape for a dimensional card.  Last, I added in the spider web stamps, the ghosts and a heat embossed sentiment to finish it off.  

I hope you have enjoyed the August Release at MFT.  I know I sure have!  IF you'd like to see lots more inspiration, head on over to the MFT blog where the rest of the DT has more to see.  Thanks so much for stopping in today!

A stencil and a hug!

I have been staring at this Radiating Rays stencil on my desk for a few days and finally found some time to pull it out.  If you haven't seen this amazing stencil, its from My Favorite Things and its a must have.



I tape the stencil down to a piece of Bristol cardstock (from Hobby Lobby) and blended away.  I used the following inks in rainbow order...

Worn Lipstick
Candied Apple
Spiced Marmalade
Scattered Straw
Twisted Citron
Peacock Feathers
Dusty Concord.

After removing the stencil, I went back in a and blended in the white lines so the entire panel was covered in color.  Next, I took a Stitched Heart Stax die to cover up the center.  Then I added in the "sending hugs" die in white cardstock.  I love the white on white.  I popped the whole card front up on fun foam on to the card base.  And done!  :)

Hope you have enjoyed my rainbow creation.  Thanks so much for stopping in!

MFT Celebrate with a quick tip video....

Hello craft friends!  I am stopping in today with a CAS card and a quick video tip for My Favorite Things.  

I used the Celebrate Speech Bubble die recently to create THIS card and had to save the negative for something else.  So with that, I created this card....



This card was SUPER easy to make.  The Celebrate die and those adorable hippos from MFT make it even more fun!  You can see the quick tip video below to show how I assembled the card, but I basically save the CELEBRATE right out of the die using Press n Seal.  Then I was able to add glue to the back and add it right to my card all in one piece.  So easy!

Next, I colored up that adorable little hippo and balloons and added it to the card with foam tape.  

Here is the quick tip video of how I assembled the card with Press n Seal....



Thanks so much for coming by today!  Have a great day!

Supply List:

Stamps: Happy Hippos
Dies: Celebrate Speech Bubble Die, Happy Hippo Dies
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black
Misc: Copics, Foam Tape, Press n Seal

It's MFT Release Time!  This month holds another amazing release with lots of fun new stamps and dies.  Head on over to the MFT shop to see the whole release and do some shopping!

I have a card to share today using the new Stitched Collage Frame die and the new stamp set Flamazing.



To make this card, I first did some masking on a sheet of cardstock.  I masked off the bottom for the sand, then added in some Blu Raspberry for the water and then cover the rest with Sno Cone for the sky.  Next, I used the new collage die to cut out the card front.  I took the stitched frame and adhered it directly to the card front.  I used fun foam and popped up all the negative pieces to create the seascape in the background.  I added in some of the wave stamps in Blue Raspberry.  I stamped and die cut the tree, the flowers and that adorable flamingo and popped them up on foam tape.  Last, I stamped a simple sentiment from the Flamazing set.  And that is it!  A fun way to use the new collage die.  

Head on over to the MFT blog to see the whole release.  So glad you stopped in today!  Have a great day!
