MFT Stamps - Sweet Holiday Penguins & Festive Flamingos Card Kit

Hello everyone!  I have some very exciting news to share with you today!  We have a brand new illustrator joining us at MFT Stamps!  Many of you probably already know her amazing work, but as of Tuesday, a brand new set of her clear stamps and matching die-namics will be available through MFT monthly!


So, you might be asking 'who am I referring to'?.  Drum-roll please......it's Stacey Yacula!  Woo-hoo!  I absolutely love her sweet illustrations.  I created a fun shaker card today featuring her very first set of stamps for My Favorite Things called Sweet Holiday Penguins.  Aren't they so adorable?!  


To start, I first stamped all of my images onto a sheet of Neenah Solar White 110 lb Card Stock with Black Ink.  I then colored them with Copics and used their coordinating dies to cut them out.  I went with a somewhat simple design for this card because I wanted the frolicking penguins to be the center of attention.


For my background, I blended some Tumbled Glass and Broken China Distress Oxide Inks and then splattered that panel with some Opaque White Ink to resemble snow.  I added some snow drifts using the Stitched Snow Drifts Die-namics and heat embossed my sentiment with Black Embossing Powder.


For the shaker component, I first diecut a white frame using the Stitched Rectangle Frames Die-namics.  I then used some .25" Foam Adhesive Tape to adhere it to my card.  I added some Diamond Dust to the inside of this frame and then glued a sheet of clear acetate on top.  I added one more frame on top to cover where I glued the acetate sheet and to give my card a clean look.  Once finished, I mounted the shaker panel onto a horizontal A2-sized card onto which I had already attached a piece of red patterned paper from the Itsy Bitsy Polka Dot Paper Pad.


I hope you enjoyed my card today and that you are as excited as I am to play with these new Stacey Yacula stamps.  Make sure to stop by the MFT Blog for more inspiration and to check out the October Card Kit!


The kit this month is called the Festive Flamingos Card Kit and I will be back tomorrow to share some inspiration using this super fun set.


All of these new products will be available this coming Tuesday, October 23rd at 10AM EDT.
