Merry & Bright
MFT Stamps
My first card is very Merry and Bright.
I started by card by creating my background. I used MFT cardstock in a variety of fun colors. I used my paper trimmer and cut strips. I lined my strips up on a piece of copy paper and then trimmed my panel down to give it a clean edge.
Next, I used the "Must Have" Very Merry and Bright Die-namics to create my panel. I love the bold and graphic design of this die, so fun!! I attached my panel to my striped background with foam adhesive to give it a little dimension.
I just love the colors peeking out from behind the white panel! I hope you give this technique a try.
For my next card, I once again cut strips with the same colors as before. This time I cut them a little thinner and attached them to the middle of my card mat.

Hi Friends! I am so excited to be a guest designer for MFT Stamps!! Yeah! I have been a huge fan of MFT Stamps for years. So when I received an email a few weeks ago asking me to be a guest for their new release, I couldn't say Yes quick enough. All the new products are so fun and you will love the New Release. I created two festive cards to share today, but make sure you stop by the MFT Blog as there will be lots of inspiration.

I then created a little "scene" for the center of my card. I ink blended Distress Oxide Ink in Peacock Feathers to a rectangle. I used the new Mini Merry Messages Stamp Set to stamp my sentiment directly onto the panel. Next, I used the die included in the Flurry of Love Die Set to create my snowbank. Lastly, I stamped and colored my images from the Polar Opposites Set.
