My Favorite Things MFT Squeeze The Day

Jenoblade is my favorite illustrator with the My Favorite Things team. I just love the chubby adorable critter sets she creates – and each set has supporting images to easily create many different scenes.

This card was inspired by one of the design team members projects (nickynoocards) from the release. And with summer just around the corner here in the Pacific Northwest I was inspired to create with this set as soon as I got it.

I very often make cards with no sentiment so that I can keep them on hand for whatever occasion may come up.

This stamp & coordinating die set is available on the My Favorite Things website now – thanks for taking the time to stop by! đź’›

Honeybee Stamps Busy Bee Slimline Card

With a nome de plume of “Wendie Bee”, I just had to have these Busy Bee stamps & coordinating dies from Honeybee Stamps.

I like to create cards without sentiments often so that I have a selection of cards handy for whatever I need.

Looking back across my posts lately, you’ll know I am a big fan of the mini slimline card. It’s great for using smaller images to create a scene without having a lot of white space.

Taylored Expressions Buds & Blossoms Stencil Quad Friendship Card

Spring is officially here for me in Vancouver, Canada so I thought I would pull out one of my favorite stencil sets from Taylored Expressions. This set was part of a Crop & Create workshop, and I have gotten so much use from it!

I was inspired both by blooming daffodils, spring colors and a similar colour palette I saw while scrolling through Pinterest.

Taylored Expressions stencil quads are great for getting multiple cards in one sitting! All I needed to do with this panel was mount it on a die cut scalloped frame, add a hot sentiment and a few clear enamel droplets and the card was done.

My Favorite Things Gingerbread Greetings Card Kit

My Favorite Things really hit it out of the park with this Gingerbread Greetings card kit! The second I saw a preview I knew I had to have it.

Using the MFT snowfall stencil with Lawn Fawn pearl paste over a lightly blended distress ink background with spun sugar I recreated a background from one of the design team examples.

Using Kraft card stock with a very light splatter of Distress Oxide ink in gathered twigs to give it some texture, I also added just a light hint of shading to all the gingerbread pieces with Oxide gathered twigs as well to give it that freshly baked look.

I love this kit, and have so many more ideas on color combinations to use and various layouts I can do.

This Stylish Ovals collection by Spellbinders was an instant hit for me – generally I will love one or two things from a collection, but this collection had me hitting add to card!

The Fill My Heart stamp set was designed to fit perfectly into the oval frame of the Infinity Punch & Pierce Plate. A quick copic marker shading for the image and a gorgeous card is ready!

This stamp and plate really is incredibly flexible for pretty much any color palette. I took a tour around Pinterest and saw so many gorgeous options. If you’ve been on the fence about getting any of the pieces in this collection, I encourage you to grab them!

PinkFresh Studio Berries & Blossoms Mini Slimline Card

These washi panels really are a crafting game changer! Instead of buying a single ephemera pack that you can only get a set amount of cards from, these washi panels really give you a bang for your buck!

Using this Berries & Blossoms PinkFresh Studio washi panel and coordinating die, I always layer the washi onto 100lb card stock to give my images more strength for layering.

The hot foiled the sentiment was perfect for this card as it tied in the gold accents on the die cut images.

Lawn Fawn Puffy Stars Baby Shower Card

My partner’s niece was having her baby shower this weekend and I wanted to create a card for her.

The gender is a surprise so I needed something gender neutral – pale yellow is always a perfect choice!

Paired with some punched dots in champagne gold, I wanted to keep it nice and simple.

The inside stacked sentiment is from My Favorite Things All-Occasion Scripted Greetings and added just enough to the inside while still leaving lots of room for a personal message.

My Favorite Things Recipe For Happiness – You’re Souper!

This set is one of the super versatile sets where changing the color way gives you a totally different look.

Just like in my other card I made from this set, I found adding just a hint of a stencilled background made a big difference in reducing the white space and really allowing the focus image to pop!

The MFT blue beyond card stock, ink and matching copics (B14) really have this card a whole different look than my first project with this set.

Honey Bee Stamps Lovely Layers Owl Masculine Birthday Card

Yet another stunning card using the Lovely Layers Owl die set from Honey Bee Stamps. I wasn’t kidding in my first post using this set that just changing the color ways of your cardstock will give this die set an entirely different look & feel to your project!

This was another project from our Crop & Create Delivered Spring 2023 workshop with Kelly. All that we used was some pattered paper (with just a very light hint of texture). I just added a few white bits throughout the owl, along with some flicks from a matching brown copic marker to give that effect of white & darker feathers.

The evergreen watercolor effect background paper is part of an upcoming release – you will NOT be disappointed, the collection is absolutely stunning.

This die set is incredibly easy to use!! Honey Bee Stamps Lovely Layers die sets may look intimidating, but they provide layering guides, and a ton of inspiration projects for you to run with when creating your own projects.

Honey Bee Stamps Lovely Layers Owl

Honey Bee lovely layer dies are always gorgeous, and this Owl layers die set is no exception. The variety you can create with this is endless! Masculine cards, Christmas or even just a birthday card for owl or nature lovers.

The pattered paper is from an exclusive paper pack that we received as an attendee of the Spring 2023 Crop & Create Delivered event, taught by Kelley Kohout. This paper may be included in the upcoming release on May 19 2023.

The owl may look complicated, but their layering guides make this extremely easy to assemble. This owl was made from pure white card stock, and I used a combination of colored pencils and a bit of Lost Shadow Distress Oxide ink blending for some of the larger pieces.

Using just pattered paper with smaller texture patterns, or even strictly solid colors will give you a gorgeous result. Stay tuned for more projects featuring this die set (and exclusive paper collection)!
