MFT Stamps Christmas Cheer | Christmas Scene Card | Copic Coloring

Hi crafty friends! I hope you’re doing well and enjoying your weekend. One of the highlights of the Christmas Season is sending and receiving Christmas cards. As a card maker, I absolutely love to create Christmas cards to send out to my family and friends.

MFT Stamps Christmas Cheer

Today, I’m sharing a card I created using MFT Stamps’ Christmas Cheer stamp set. I love any stamp set that features critters, but this one is especially adorable. I started by creating the masks for my stamped images and stamping the images in the front first, followed by the background.

Copic Marker Combination

Arctic Fox: E41, E50, W00, R30
Bunny: E44, E43, E42, E41, Blender
Tree: G17, G02, G00, G000
Red: R39, R29, R24
Trees in the back: BG72, G17, G02
Snow: G02, G00, G000, G0000

When I create a one-layer card, I usually ink blend the background before coloring. I do this just in case I don’t like the background, or some bleed-through occurs, and it won’t ruin the colored images. For this background, I used Cracked Pistachio, Evergreen Bough Distress Oxide inks on the card front, and Pine Needles Distress Oxide ink just on the edges of the card. I added white splatters for my snowy scene. Then I colored the images.

To finish the card, I heat embossed and sentiment and added highlights with my white gel pen. I really hope you enjoy this card and as always, thank you so much for stopping by; until next time….sprinkle a little creativity on your day!

MFT Stamps Fall Friends and Harvest Mouse | Grateful Fall Themed Handmade card | Copic Coloring

Hi crafty friends, I hope you are having a great week and looking forward to the weekend! I know I sure am. It has been a few long and exhausting weeks. As a Floridian, I prepared for Hurricane Ian to make land-fall near my home. Thankfully, my area was spared, but my heart breaks for the neighbors south of me who lost so much. It’s very conflicting to feel thankful and devasted at the same time. However, it is heartwarming to see our communities come together to help those most affected by this destructive storm.

MFT Stamps Harvest Mouse and Fall Friends

One way I cope with stress is to take time and color. Lately, I’ve been spending a little extra time coloring some of my older stamp sets. I chose two stamps from MFT Stamps to create a fall-inspired grateful card.

I stamped and colored several images from MFT Stamps’ BB Harvest Mouse and Fall Friends (discontinued) with my Copic Markers.

Copic Color Combinations

Mouse: W5, W3, W1, W0
Shirt: YR23, Y15, Y13
Pants: B29, B24

Red Leaf: R39, R29, R17, R14
Green Leaf: EYG17, YG25, YG23, YG21

MFT Stamps Harvest Mouse and Fall Friends

For the background, I quickly water-colored a slimline die-cut with yellow and orange watercolors. Then, with green watercolor, I painted a small panel for the grass.

I attached the images with foam adhesive or glue dots, stamped the large sentiment, and heat embossed with black embossing powder.

I hope you enjoyed my card today, as always, thank you so much for stopping by; until next time….sprinkle a little creativity on your day!

Hi crafty friends! I’m super excited for today’s card share because it’s my first ever dimensional box card featuring MFT Stamps’ Outside the Box Die-Namics.

Today’s card features an older stamp by MFT Stamps called Jungle Vibes. I stamped and colored all of the images with my Copic Markers in the following combination.

Next, I set out to create the dimensional box card by die-cutting all the builder elements with white heavy-weight cardstock while the teal pieces were die-cut from teal cardstock. I added a little shading with Mermaid Lagoon Distress Oxide ink to give it some interest.

To assemble my little scene, I die cut the Outside the Box Grassy Hills Die-namics from green cardstock inked Pine Needles Distress Oxide ink to the bottom edge, and adhered it to the box card.

I added all of the images with liquid adhesive and stamped the sentiment to the front strip to complete my project.

MFT Stamps Bunny Wishes | Rainbow Slimline Card | Copic Coloring

MFT Stamps Bunny Wishes

Hi crafty friends! What is it about rainbows that put a smile on people’s faces? Maybe it’s because a rainbow symbolizes hope, happiness, and a sense of excitement. Or, maybe it’s the promise of sunshine after the rain.  Whatever feelings a rainbow elicits for you, for these two friends, a rainbow makes their hearts feel happy!

I stamped and colored the image from MFT Stamps’ Bunny Wishes set using Copic Markers. Next, I die-cut the SMILE die-namics and used Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers to add the rainbow colors.

Copic Marker Combination

Bunnies: E44, E43, E2, E41

Purple: 080, 081

To create the scene, first I die cut smooth cardstock using a stitched slimline die then, I ink blended the sky using the Micro Cloud Stencil and Distress Oxide ink in Mermaid Lagoon.  I used a stitched hillside die to create a grounding element for my image and added a little shading with Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide ink.

To finish my card, I stamped and embossed a sentiment, then added all the images with liquid adhesive or glue dots. A quick little tip for aligning the large SMILE die-cut is to use a ruler since the letters are individual and I wanted to be sure that such a bold sentiment was perfectly straight.

Hey crafty friends! All this month, I am teaching my preschoolers about Spring. Some of the simple concepts we discuss are weather changes, flowers, and of course all the baby animals. This card certainly makes me think of Spring with a bright and cheery background.

I love to integrate bright backgrounds and for this card, I created a sunny cloudy sky using Squeezed Lemonade Distress Oxide ink. For the grassy hill, I simply die-cut a piece of white cardstock and ink blended the bottom portion with Twisted Citron and Mowed Lawn at the top. I splattered both panels with white paint for texture.

Once the panels were dry, I used a stitched slimline rectangle die to die cut the entire panel. Then, I stamped the sentiment with VersaFine Black Onyx ink. To finish the card, I added all of the images using glue dots or liquid adhesive.

For the background, I ink blended a teal piece of cardstock with Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide in the center and added a little bit of Peacock Feathers at the edge of the panel. To give the background more texture, I added white and teal splatters to the panel.

Next, I die-cut a piece of green cardstock and ink blended the top of the hills with Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide ink. Again, I added white and green splatters for some texture.

Once the panels were dry, I used a stitched slimline rectangle die to die cut the entire panel. Then, I stamped the sentiment with VersaFine Black Onyx ink, my favorite for sentiment stamping. And lastly, I added all of the images using glue dots or liquid adhesive.

Hi crafty friends! Aren’t these bears adorable??? Well, if you ask me, ALL bears are adorable. I am a teddy bear collector and my love of teddy bears comes out of my childhood love for the teddy bear.

For the background, I ink blended two hillside die cuts and the sky. Next, I added some hearts with a heart stencil then added interest with blue ink splatters.

Using a sweet sentiment from the stamp set, I white heat embossed it onto a piece of black cardstock before trimming it with a sentiment strip. Lastly, I added all of the elements to the front of my card panel using foam adhesive, liquid glue, or glue dots.

MFT Stamps Lovable Leopards | Copic Coloring

MFT Stamps Lovable Leopard

 

Hey crafty friends! It has been such a busy week that I absolutely needed some downtime and what better way to relax than to create a fun card. Normally, I find coloring to be my solace and these guys are just the cutest image.

Unfortunately, this stamp set is discontinued but there are a ton of other stamps similar to this one by MFT Stamps.

I started my card by creating the background first. Using MFT Stamps’ Mini Cloud Edges stencil, I created a fun cloudy sky with Distress Oxide Ink in Mermaid Lagoon. Next, I stamped and colored my images using Copic Markers.

Copic Marker Combination

Leopards: YR18, YR14, Y35, Y23, YR30
Nose/Snout: YR24, Y23, YR30
Brown: E29, E27, E25
Green: YG17, YG05, YG03, YG01

 

MFT Stamps Lovable Leopard

 

After coloring all of the images, I used the coordinating dies and set the images aside to continue creating the background.

I ink blended the grassy hill using Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide ink then added a little Lucky Clover to create some depth. For the last element on my scene card, I die-cut yellow cardstock and added Wild Honey and Carved Pumpkin Distress Oxide for dimension.

After coloring and ink blending, I began building my scene card by adding the image and die cuts with foam adhesive or liquid glue.

And finally, I heat embossed the sentiment onto a piece of black cardstock and trimmed it with a banner sentiment strip.

I hope you enjoyed my card as much as I enjoyed making it. As a bonus, I have the perfect recipients for this card in mind. I want them to know that even though we have not seen each other for a while, I hold them very dear in my heart.

MFT Stamps Let’s Stick Together | Copic Coloring

MFT Stamps Let's Stick Together

 

Hey crafty friends! During the summer months, I like to re-build my stash of birthday cards for the upcoming year. Today, I’m sharing a fun birthday-inspired card featuring MFT Stamps’ Let’s Stick Together. These cacti are beyond adorable!

I stamped all of the images onto smooth white cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black dye ink. All the images are colored with Copic Markers using the color combinations listed below.

Cacti: G28, YG67, YG17, YG13, YG01
Terracotta Pots: E18, E19, E08, E97, E95
Pink: RV17, RV55, RV52

I absolutely love bright and vibrant colors on my cards and this card called for a nice yellow background. Using Distress Oxide inks in Wild Honey, Mustard Seed, and Squeezed Lemonade, I inked up a piece of heavy-weight smooth cardstock. Then I created some texture by spritzing water on the panel and blotting it dry with a clean paper towel.

I thought the panel needs a little more so I splattered diluted white paint, yellow paint, and a little bit of orange paint for a festive look.

 

MFT Stamps Let's Stick Together

 

I was inspired by the MFT Sketch Challenge for the layout of this card and I followed their design sketch. For the rectangle element on my card, I simply added the scalloped rectangle frames and placed my images in the center. Finally, to finish this card, I stamped the sentiment and layered the front panel with foam adhesive to a brown cardstock mat.

As always thank you so much for stopping by, until next time….sprinkle a little creativity on your day!
