MFT 2020 Card Design Superstar - Innovation Category

 Hello everybody!  Here is my last post for tonight!  For my entry into the My Favorite Things 2020 Card Design Superstar Innovation category I created a slimline Polaroid shaker card!

I started this card by stamping three of the super fun images from MFT Picture Perfect Party Animals stamp set onto Copic friendly white paper.  I just love this stamp set!  All of the animals are having such a great time!  After coloring my images with Copic markers, and adding glitter to all of the balloons and more with a glitter pen, I made shaker windows using the MFT Square Shaker Pouches.  Boy, they sure make life so much easier when making shaker cards!  I then die cut three Polaroid picture frames out of white card stock using the MFT Polaroid Shaker Frame Die-namics.  Next, I stamped the sentiment onto one of the frames with black pigment ink and clear heat embossed for a shiny look!  I then adhered the frames to my shaker pouches with liquid glue.  

Teal is one of my favorite colors so I knew I wanted to use it for the card base!  I cut the teal card stock to 8 1/2" by 3 1/2" and inked the edges with Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide Ink.  For some dimension, I used foam tape to pop up the Polaroid shaker pouches from my card base!

MFT 2020 Card Design Superstar - Coloring Category

 Hi everyone!  Here is my second card for today and my entry into the My Favorite Things 2020 Card Design Superstar Coloring category.

For the background I used Distressed Oxide Inks Wilted Violet, Blueprint Sketch, and Black Soot.  I then mixed a tiny bit of water with white gouache and flicked it onto my card.  I set that aside to dry, and die cut black card stock using MFT Slimline Grassy Hills Die-namics, and MFT Spooky Fence Die-namics. I adhered the fence and one layer of grass with liquid glue.  I then used foam tape to pop up another grassy hill layer.  

I stamped the super cute mouse, bunny, and spooky house from the MFT Spooktacular Friends stamp set and colored them with Copic markers.  I just love these adorable images!  After coloring, I cut them out with their coordinating dies.  I also stamped and die cut the moon and star from the MFT Halloween Hoo set.  I die cut a black banner using MFT Skinny Strips Die-namics on which I stamped and white heat embossed my sentiment.  I attached my images using liquid glue and foam tape.

MFT 2020 Card Design Superstar - Clean and Simple

 Hi All!  This is my first of three posts today, as I have completed all of my entries for the My Favorite Things 2020 Card Design Superstar.  Here is my card for the Clean and Simple category.

For this card I used the largest of the MFT Wonky Stitched Rectangle Die-namics to cut out the blue card stock, and the second largest to die cut Copic friendly white paper.  Since this is a clean and simple design, I stamped the adorable penguin from the MFT Sending Sweet Celebration Wishes stamp set right onto my die cut rectangle.  I know he's a penguin, but I really wanted to color him blue!  I colored my image with Copic markers, and stamped the sentiment in black pigment ink, then clear heat embossed for some shine!  I then popped up the rectangle with colored image on foam tape for a little dimension!

Copic colors used:

• B0000, B000, B00, B01, B04
• BV31, BV02, BV04
• YR0000, R02, R22
• Y000, Y02, Y08, Y17

 Hello everyone!  Today I am sharing a card I created for My Favorite Things Sketch Challenge - Sketch 502.  Did you see the new Hey, Ghoul Die-namics?  It is adorable and I had to use it!

I started by cutting black shimmer card stock and green glitter card stock into 3 1/4" x 3 1/4" squares, off-setting them, and attaching them to my card base with liquid glue.  I die cut my ghost with the new MFT Hey, Ghoul Die-namics, and colored her cheeks, eyes, and mouth with Copic markers.  For her cheeks I used E93 and R20, and for her eyes and mouth I used C8.  I used the green glitter card stock for my sentiment and attached it with liquid glue.  I then die cut a purple glitter banner using one of the banners from the MFT Starburst Sentiment Strips.  I used the same purple glitter card stock to die cut two circles, and the bow for my adorable ghost!  

This card was easy and fun to make!  I just love the super cute ghost!  Thank you and I hope you enjoyed my card today!
