Hello everyone!!
My Favorite Things November 2018 release just went live - SO much fun stamps and dies!!! You can check them all out HERE <-------click! And I will hopefully get a Release & Review video filmed and posted ASAP with my thoughts on it all too!
So MFT asked me to join their MFT & Friends feature this month so of course I said yes!! You can check out their blog post HERE <------click! with the info as well as for the links to all the other amazing designers sharing inspiration with this release!
I kind of have a palm to forehead 🤦🏻♀️ moment for my cards - b/c with ALL these new stamps and die-namics released ONE stamp set and ONE stamp in particular caught my eye. I have a ton of ideas for all the other products - but that one sentiment got the wheels turning and I just HAD to make it into cards. So while these cards feature one of the new sets from the release - everything else is from previous MFT releases (links to all of it at the end of the post!).
Those that know me know I am a rather sarcastic person with a pretty twisted sense of humour LOL! So when I come across sarcastic or tongue-in-cheek stamps or anything "twisted" I am ALLLLL over it. It just gives me a giggle. So of course the new Sassy Pants Holiday sentiment set was right up my alley!
Don't get me wrong - I love me all kinds of traditional and thoughtful stamps for Christmas/holiday cards. But it's so fun to be able to mix things up and go very UNtraditional sometimes - and that's what I did here.
The second I saw the "It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Cocktails" sentiment I KNEW I needed to pull out my MFT Margarita and Martini Shaker Card Window and Frames Die-namics. I wanted to create a winter scene for each card and then add the drink to each.
I decided to do them in different color combos just to have more fun with it - so blues and silver with the martini glass and pinks/corals and gold with the margarita. I used MFT's coordinating shaker pouches - and in the video I show how I backed them with acetate and made them into transparent shakers, which I filled with MFT's Frosty Ice Cubes and some silver and gold seed beads.
I finished off the insides of the cards with another sentiment from the Sassy Pants Holiday stamp set - another one that made me giggle.
