Let's Get Festive: TWO Days until the MFT Release!

Welcome! It's two days until the My Favorite Things Stamps October Release! At 10am Eastern time on Tuesday, October 8, the October release will be live, and all of the new products shown in the past few days will be available. Today I chose the Festive Friends stamp set and Die-namics because I wanted to color that reindeer with the string of lights. I also used the Peace, Love, and Joy stencil on the background with some Twisted Citron Distress Oxide ink (ink not listed below since it isn't at the MFT online store).

Shown above is a list of the Copic Sketch markers that I used to color the Festive Friends images. (You can click on the photo above for a larger version if you'd like to save it.)

In addition to the ones that I've shared here, there are more fabulous new products being showcased today; I hope you get a chance to visit the MFT Stamps Blog for a complete list of designers playing with today's new products AND to enter for prizes! Remember that while all MFT products that I used are linked below, the NEW product links won't be live until release time--that's Tuesday morning (October 8) at 10am Eastern time. All other links should work now. Thank you for stopping by today!

Bright Christmas: Halfway to the Big Day!

Welcome! It's three days until the My Favorite Thing Stamps October release! Today I chose several images from the Sun-Lovin' Santa stamp set to create a little beach scene. I may live in the land of ice and snow now; but having spent ten years in Pensacola, Florida,  I know about those sunny Christmases too!

Shown above are the Copic Sketch markers that I used to color the Sun-Lovin' Santa images. (You can click on the image for a larger format if you would like to save it.)

All the Love Your Heart Can Hold: Four Days until the MFT Release!

It's only four days until the My Favorite Things Stamps October release! I chose the Merry Moments set to work with today; I loved the connection--admiration maybe--between the polar bear and Santa. I used an older windows die, Jumbo Peek-a-Boo Window Die-namics, in which to set my scene.

Shown above are the Copic Sketch markers that I used to color the Merry Moments images. (You can click on the image for a full-sized version to save if you'd like.)

No One Elf Like You: FIVE Days Until the New MFT Release!

Welcome to Day 5 of the My Favorite Things Stamps October Release Countdown! Today I'm sharing a card using the Birdie Brown Christmas sELFies stamp set and the Ho Ho Ho Background. I can tell that I will be pulling out Christmas sELFies several times in the next few weeks, because it has awesome images!

Flowers for a Friend: MFT WSC457

Welcome! Today I'm playing along with the My Favorite Things Stamps Sketch Challenge, WSC457. I chose the Flowers in Bloom stamp set to use for today's sketch, combining it with the Jumbo Peek-a-Boo Circle Windows Die-namics, as well as the Brush Spatter Background and the Bitty Thanks & Gratitude Sentiments. I have limited supplies with me: I'm in South Carolina with my family right now and brought along my bare essentials. So for the little scalloped trim on the sketch, I used my Stitched Ric Rac Die-namics, and covered half of it with my sentiment. (The Stitched Ric Rac is doubled, with Ripe Raspberry peeking out from under Tickled Pink cardstock.)

Shown above are the Copic Sketch markers that I used to color the Flowers in Bloom image.
