Hello everyone! So here's the first cards I've made with the MFT March Warm & Fuzzy Friends Card Kit. Since I posted the Unboxing Video of the kit the other day I've had a lot of y'all wondering what I made with it so here they are! I couldn't make up my mind and settle on just one card so I ended up making 4.
I only used elements included in the kit, with the addition of clear embossing powder, Versamark and white embossing powder, and the Circle STAX Die-namics set. I think if I were to pull out a couple of embellishments (some twine, maybe some enamel dots) I could really go to town with this kit and create a TON of fun cards.
I stamped all the images from the stamp set onto the Prima watercolour paper included in the kit with the Black Licorice Hybrid ink cube and embossed them with clear embossing powder. Normally hybrid inks dry too quickly to be able to emboss with them, but stamping on watercolour paper gave me enough time to coat the stamped image with the powder and emboss it. I found that embossing the images with this watercolour paper yields the best results - plus it makes watercoloring the images in SUPER easy as you have the raised edges "containing" your watercolour - and I'm all about quick and easy when I want to color in a bunch of images at once!
I used the wood veneer sheets that come with the kit on a couple of the cards - I wasn't sure what to expect when I got the kit but they're quite cool. They're very thin - so no thicker that standard card stock - and you can die cut them and cut them and with the adhesive backing they're simple to adhere.
I've had people ask if they can purchase the items in the kit separately - right now you can't. So far MFT has been releasing the stamps/dies/patterned papers etc that are exclusive to their kits around 6 weeks after the kits are released. Purchasing the kits saves you a good percent (it varies depending on the kit and the contents) as opposed to buying everything separate at a later date. This kit is the March kit so the stamps/dies/patterned paper should be part of the May MFT release if I'm doing the math correctly!
