MFT - Birthday Bear Hugs

Hello everyone! I'm so glad it's Friday as it has been a rough week for me. My daughter got sick from camping last weekend so I have missed a couple days of work to care for her. On top of that she got me sick but fortunately we are both feeling a lot better. I loaded up on Vitamin C and drank tea with honey which has worked wonders for me every time! Unfortunately I didn't have the energy or mood to craft so I wanted to post these cards that I shared last week on my Instagram (crafty_m0chi). I definitely went out of my comfort zone on these cards but overall they turned out great!

I used MFT stamps (surprise) the Beary Special Birthday set. I wanted the bear to be surrounded with lots of presents and you can see him peeking out of the big box! To do this I used the masking technique and for the first time I made a one layer card.

I made the blue card first and I loved how it turned out so I decided to make one for a girl. The masking technique was fairly easy for me to do. I don't have step by step process but there are a lot of videos on YouTube that go into details. After stamping all the images where I want them I used Copic markers to color them. 

For the purple card I used MFT premium dye inks in grape jelly and razzle berry for the background. For the blue card I used tumbled glass distress ink.

I heat embossed the sentiment with silver embossing powder and I also added star sequins which I think is from Martha Stewart.

 

Thanks for reading! Have a good day!

MFT - Beary Full

Hi everyone and welcome back to my blog! Today I'm sharing new products by My Favorite Things. This month is very special for MFT because they're celebrating 10 years of being a company. I read their story on how they started and it made me cry because they're such wonderful people. I'm so happy on how far they have come and I wish them nothing but the best!! They always make great products every month and I always want to buy them all. My poor wallet doesn't agree but it's okay! On my card today I'm featuring some of the things that I purchase from the July release.

I used the new stamp set by Birdie Brown called Beary Special Birthday. This bear makes me laugh and reminds me of myself because I love to eat! I don't do diets because I love food too much especially sweets. I try to exercise at least 3 times week to keep myself from feeling blah and keep up with my active kids. I also have to keep in shape for my job which is good for me because I have to push myself to get up and exercise. Anyway back to the card, I used the new die-namics chevron fringe for an added touch. I die cut it twice using two different color cardstock. I heat embossed the sentiment from Birthday sentiment.

 

For the background I used MFT dye inks in Summer Splash and Coral Crush. To finish the card I added clear sequins from Pretty Pink Posh!

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your day!
