Cutest Shaker Jars Ever! {Queen and Co}...

Hey crafty friends! Today I am stopping in with a couple new cards using the Love Jar Kit.  I adore this kit.  So many amazing things in included!  And guess what?  It's $5 off today!! Check out all the Queen and Co products linked at the end of this post.  :)

First up, a thank you card.

Queen and Company

I took several pieces of that gorgeous paper from the paper pack included and created a simple block background.  Next, I stamped the flowers so they would go behind the card.  I created the jar shaker box by adding the little wooden circles inside.  Instead of adding the acetate included in the kit, I cut out a piece of vellum and used a BG00 Copic to give it a blue shade of color.  I added that and finished off the card by adding the jar lid and a piece of twine.

This next card I created by adding some score lines on a white card base.

I added in the jar box and those adorable wooden stars, blue flowers and those gorgeous diamonds.  I tucked in a piece of patterned paper with a stamped sentiment to finish off the card.

Hope you have enjoyed these cards.  So glad you stopped in today!  Have a great week!

MFT April Product Launch...

It's Release time at My Favorite Things!  Everything is available now over at MFT but I have one more card left to share.  Today I am using the Smile die for a quick and simple card...

MFT April 2018 Release

I used a Kraft base and splattered a little white pain in the background.  I added in some black and white washi and then a layer of silver glitter washi to the card base.  Next, I did some ink blending and then die cut the smile from the ink blended card stock.  I popped the sentiment up on fun foam for some easy dimension.

I can't wait to hear what your favorite new MFT products are.  Thanks so much for coming by.  Have a great day!

MFT Release Countdown Day 1...

It's day 1 of the MFT Countdown and that means tomorrow is release day.  All of the goodies you have seen this week will be available tomorrow at 8pm CST.

Here is my last countdown card....

MFT April 2018 Release

I used the new Shooting Star Die to creat this card. First, I did a very subtle ink blending on the base of the card with Peacock Feathers. I cut one out and then colored the tails.  Then I cut another one out using gold cardstock.  I added the gold star over the top of the white one to give the card some shine and then added in the Congrats die in Vellum.  The Congrats die is free this month with a $60 purchase.

CARDS

I have 2 cards to share using the stamp set from the kit.  This first card uses the Blanket Pattern Bold Prints background stamp.  First, I heat embossed the stamp with white embossing powder.  Next, I added in a rainbow of oxide inks and then used an iron to pull off the embossing powder from the panel.  I love how that looks!  I took a deep breath and then cut the panel in strips to create this background....yes that made me nervous after all that work to create a colorful background panel.  :)

I attached the strips to the card front and then added in those adorable cactus images and a sentiment. To finish the card, I went back in with some silver thread and a little sombrero.

This next card was fun to make.  I lined up that adorable banner image on my Misti and stamped the banners in a straight row.

 After I had a whole card front, I cut out each row and added them to the card front.  I tucked in the sentiment "hola" on the bottom to finish off this clean and simple card.

There are so many adorable add-ons to this kit so the possibilities are endless!
