MFT December Release – New Product Launch

Posted on by

Hello crafty friends!
Welcome to the My Favorite Things new product launch! It’s Time!! All of the new products we’ve been sharing all week are officially available in the MFT Store now! I can’t wait to see what you guys create with them :D
NewProductLaunchI have a couple of cards using the newly released Primitive Chevron Background stamp and Scenic Safari Die-namics.

MFT-PrimitiveChevronI just adore the new Primitive Chevron Background stamp! It’s unique, modern, and even beautiful!! I believe that one great background stamp could enhance the whole card design!!
MFTRC-201512-DEC-NPL-A01 For my watercolour background, I stamped the Primitive Chevron Background onto A2 size watercolour paper panel using Chocolate Brown dye ink. I then spritzed a fine mist of water over the stamped panel, had some watercolor stain for having natural looking background. For the poinsettias, I used Winter Warmth stamp set and for the sentiment I used Merry Christmoose stamp set.  MFTRC-201512-DEC-NPL-A02MFTRC-201512-DEC-NPL-A03
MFT-ScenicSafariMy second card, I am focusing on the Scenic Safari Die-namics.
MFTRC-201512-DEC-NPL-B01I 1) Die cut 3 different shaped hills from A2 size watercolour paper panel, die cut Grassy Hill as well. 2) Blended each five pieces with MFT dye inks using mini blending tool – (from the top) Summer Splash, Sour Apple, Gumdrop Green, Chocolate Brown, Field Day dye inks. 3) Spritzed with a bit of water and dry using heat tool. 4) Put all five pieces of die cut together on white card base using double-sided tape. 5) Stamped the lion from the Sweet Safari stamp set on watercolour paper using Antique Linen Distress ink, coloured it with Derwent Watercolor Pencils, then die cut it with Sweet Safari Die-namics. 5) Embellished with a few PPP sequins.

NewReleaseCountdown_Day1Today I want to share with you three cards that I’ve made using Tropical Flowers stamp set. (Oh yes, floral themed projects again!!)
MFTRC-201512-DEC-DAY1-A01Large size flower and leaves images make my card making much easier!! First I 1) Stamped the solid images from the Tropical Flowers stamp set at the bottom part of watercolour paper panel with MFT dye inks, brushed them with a tiny bit of water using waterbrush – I used Red Hot, Orange Zest, Pure Plum, Sour Apple, Gumdrop Green, Field Day, and Summer Splash dye inks. 2) Die cut “HAPPY 2016” from white card stock using Stitched Alphabet & Numbers Die-namics. 3) Mounted all elements as shown to the finished card base using double-sided tape. 4) Embellished with a few PPP clear sequins.

MFTRC-201512-DEC-DAY1-B01For my second card, I made (kind of) messy but (I feel) artsy foliage card :D First I randomly stamped the leaves from the Tropical Flowers stamp set onto watercolour paper panel with MFT dye inks, then coloured the rest areas of the stamped panel with Summer Splash, Sour Apple dye inks using a wet paint brush. I then sprayed all over the panel using Ranger Perfect Pearls Mist, dry it using heat tool. To finish the background off, I added some white ink splatters. For my sentiment, I used Doubly Amazing Die-namics and Amazing stamp set.
