July MFT Guest Designer!!

 

Hello everyone!

I am so happy to be here with you all again! I am so grateful to MFT who invited me to be a guest designer again this month!
July release is full of amazing and interesting things and I have to admit that it was hard for me to choose a product that I would use for my first Project.

 

For today I decided to make a gift box which can be given to someone dear or a crafty friend who would love to try embroidery but does not have materials.

 

 

For the box I used two pieces of white cardstock that I cut to 6*6 inches. At all 4 sides I scored at 1 inch, and than make a cut in all four corners.
I used score tape to assemble the box and than on the lid I used Gift Shaker Window and Frame Die-namics to make a window.
The newest Gift Shaker Pouch takes up this hobby to a higher level.

 

This time for shaker material I used Lipgloss Microbeads. On the back of the shaker window I glued acetate sheet so the contents
of the gift box is visible.

 

 

For the frame I use MFT Farm Fresh Gingham paper pack.
To decorate the lid I used new Stitched Beautiful Bows die namics
(do I have to say that I LOVE this product??!)
I have cut the bow from the felt in pink color and the same color I used to make flowers that I made using Mini Rolled Roses die-namics.
I also used the white felt for the roses just to put some interest.

 

 

 

Inside of the box is filled with embroidery threads in coordinating colors and two Cross Stitch Tags which I assembled with thread so recipient would know how to assemble them after they finish the pattern.

 

 

 

As ling as we are at thread and needle I am gonna use the opportunity to show you my latest Cross-stitch Projects in which you can see different MFT dies that you can use to make big collection of cards.

 

For all of them I used cross stitch printable, and you can find them on MFT blog.

 

 

On this card I used Stitch Tag-Corner Rectangle Stax Die-namcis.
I also stamped sentiment  “Welcome, little one” from Essential Sentiments stamps set in the inside of the card  with Grape Jelly Premium Dye ink.

 

 

 

For this card I used Stitched Tag-Corner Square Stax Die-namics and again same sentiment but this time I used Cotton Candy Premium Dye ink for stamping.

 

 

 

 

This time I Die cut the frame with A2 Rectangle Stax Die-namics Set 1 and 2. Hello, Beautiful sentiment from the same stamps set I stamped inside of the card with Pure Plum Premium Dye ink.

 

I hope you like what I prepared for you!
Can’t wait to come back in couple of days! Until than – keep calm and craft on!
Kristina

MFT Mermazing !!

Hello everyone again!!

 

This is me with my second card for today!! Our trip to Greece is close and I’m very nervous and excited at the same time. The whole year has passed since my last trip to this wonderful country. Beautiful sea with beautiful beaches, very kind domestic residents and delicious food and cakes…. OMG I can not wait anymore!!

 

But let’s go back to my finished project….

 

I stamped all my images from MFT Mermazing stamps set on Bristol Smooth white card stock with Memento black ink and colored with my Copic Markers. After that I made masks for all images using Stamping Mask paper from Inkadinkado.

 

After that I applied Distress oxide inks with my mini ink blending tool. (Faded Jeans, Wilted Violet and Picked Raspberry. On the top of the panel I used Radiating Rays Stencil with MFT Sweet Tooth pigment ink. I also used Distress Sprayer by Ranger with water to create sprayed effects.

 

On the botom of the panel I colored sand with Copic Markers and added dots with different shade of the markers. After the background has dried I stamped corals and sea grass with Picked Raspberry, Faded Jeans and Lucky Clover Oxide inks. I also added some Clear Droplets By Pretty Pink Posh 4 and 6 mm.

 

And at that moment I decided to make shaker card.. I created the frame with A2 Stitched Rectangle Stax Set 1 and 2 Die-namics. First I die cut 5 frames from the white cards stock and the last I die cut from the MFT Silver Sparkle Card stock. On the back of the Silver frame I added Heat Resistant Acetate.

 

 

For my shaker elements this time I decided to use combination of Lipgloss Microbeads and Diamond Dust. The sound created by these two materials is unbelievable, it really sounds like waves. That’s why I did my first video. I know it’s not good quality but hallo this is my first ever made cardmaking video.

 

My first video ever…. I hope you like it! #mftstamps #dienamics #distressoxide #copicmarkers #copiccoloring

Wishing You A Flamazing Birthday!

Hello everyone!!

 

This is me with my new project! It’s no secret that I love Flamazing stamps set from MFT but until now I’ve just made one card with the flamingos. I always use another images from the set (flowers, leaves,palm trees)…

 

 

I stamped my flamingos with MFT premium Dye inks : Bubblegum, Cotton Candy and Ripe Raspberryand die cut them with matching dies. I added some details with white Uni-Ball gel pen.

 

My background panel is die cut with A2 Rectangle Stax Set 1. I applied Peacock Feathers Distress ink with mini ink blending tool. After that I stamped Palm trees with Twisted Citron, Lucky Clover and Walnut Stain Distress Oxide inks on top of the panel. I added details with white gel pen again.

 

On the top of the background panel I added velum piece  (Die-cut with A2 Stitched Rectangle Stax too) with flamingos. For my sentiment strip I used Blueprints 27 and Peacock Feathers distress ink. I stamped sentiment with VersaMark clear ink and embossed with white detail Embossing powder.

W2CB Challenge!!

Hello everyone!

 

It is time for new Words 2 Craft By Challenge. Our words this month are:

“Go where you feel most alive”

 

https://words2craftby.blogspot.com/

 

And this is how I was inspired…

This time I decide to make Shaker + No-line coloring card. For my stamping I used Natural and Cement Gray Premium Dye ink by MFT. I stamped images from MFT Town Bear and In Paris stamps sets and colored with my Copic Markers. I add some details with Uni-ball White gel pen on my coloring. When coloring was finished I die cut images with matching dies.

 

I die cut front panel with Blueprints 27 Die-namics from Ranger Woodgrain Cardstock and in the middle of the panel I die cut the window with Elegant Rectangle Stax Die-namics. I repeated this procedure several times and I glued these panels one behind the other  to get enough depth for shaker elements.

 

This time I decide to emboss sentiment on Acetate which can be very tricky but If you have Heat Resistant Acetate it can be to much easier. The trick is to keep the protective paper in place and make sure that you do not leave fingerprints. I also used EKSucces powder tool before stamping with VersaMark. After that I applied detail White embossing powder and emossed sentiment with Heat tool.

 

 

 

For the inside of the shaker part I used Teal card stock and I added Eiffel Tower and I die cut 4 clouds with Sweet Sloths Die-namics.  I filed shaker part with Hearts in different colors. On the front of my card I added my colored images and few hearts as well.

 

Thank you for stopping by!

Cross-Stitch Project

Hello everyone!

 

It is time to publish a mega big project that I finished long ago. This was actually a birthday present for my mother-in-law. This is approximately 25 x 17.5 cm big project (10×7 inches). I found this big embrodery board in one Danish store here in Sweden.The Embroidery thread also come from the same Danish store.

 

 

I used MFT Printable Resources with Floral Patern. On the end I decided to add 3 butterflies from MFT Beautiful Butterflies stamps set. I stamped them with MFT Premium Dye ink Periwinkle, Boysenberry and Eggplant and die cut them out with matching dies. For a bit more dimension I die cut same buterrflies 4 times from the velum and with Foam tape I added them back. For the trails I used Nuvo Crystal Drops Violet Galaxy.

 

 

I have to tell you that my mother-in-law was delighted and now this project is framed.

 

Thank you for stopping by!

For my waves I used Surf and Turf Die-namics again and with mini blending tool I applied Salty Ocean and Faded Jeans Oxide inks. For one of the waves I also used Velum.  On the last wave I die cut Slider part with die from the same set. The boat is from  You Float my Boat stamps set and I used Biscotti, Coral Crush and Blue Breeze for stamping but on the end I added some coloring on top with Copics and white gel pen.

 

Palm tree is from Flamazing stamps set and I stamped with Biscotti and Lime Light Premium dye inks and added some coloring with Copics on the top.

As you can see I used several stamps set on this card: Party Like aPirate, Flamazing, You Float My Boat and Soak Up The Fun stamps sets and coordinating dies.
