MFT Countdown: 5

Hey all!

It’s that time again! Yep. Time again for another (totally awesome) product release from My Favorite Things. And the countdown starts today! Woot!

So want a taste of the new stuff? Because… you know… I’ve got your back! 😉

Got a couple cards to share today that I whipped up with the new stuff so…. let’s do this! Yeah!

Please meet card #1.

So this card uses the new Blueprints 24 Die-namics. Every single die-cut element on it was cut with Blueprints 24.  I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again. The Blueprints Die-namics are some of my favorites because you get a lot of dies in one set. MFT also puts together a free tip sheet for each set that you can use to get you designing with the dies. I love that because it gets you right into the design space!

I used the MFT’s tips partly to make this card and then did a bit of my own thing, doing the positioning of the elements a little different and then stacking several banners up to create that border.

You’ll notice the pattern on the pink cardstock. Yep! It’s a peek at another new product from the April release. I used the Weave stencil to add that to the panel. I just sent the stencil onto the panel and then sponged ink over the open spaces.

Can you handle another card? Hope so because here is card #2.

I once again brought out Blueprints 24 add the Weave stencil. I also brought out the new You’re the Sweetest stamp set and Sweet Treat Die-namics. Yep. I totally made that cute cupcake with the Sweet Treats Die-namics. I have a feeling you are going to see those surface a few more times over the next few days! (Wink!)

One thing I did to make the cupcake stand out more is I adhered that panel to my card with foam tape. Also, to make the file tab, I die-cut it twice. And then I cut the pink tab in half, adhering it to the orange tab. I think the two-toned look is just fun!

So that’s what I have for you today. Here’s a list of MFT products I used to make these cards:
