MFT & Friends March 2021 Release


Welcome to the MFT & Friends March 2021 Release! I am thankful to be guesting this month, and have created samples using the new release for your inspiration. It feels like an early birthday present, March being my birthday month! So grab a cup of whatever you prefer and enjoy the cards. I hope you like what you see!


The new BB Spring Gnomes set is the cutest, don't you agree? Here I colored them with Copic markers, the background is inked with Cracked Pistachio, Squeezed Lemonade, Spun Sugar and Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide inks. 


To make the die-cut letters stand out better, I added a rectangle of vellum behind them.


The new Stacey Yacula set is next:


I wonder what these little bears whisper into each others ear? I wish I had their heart-shaped flowers in my garden! This background was ink blended using Spun Sugar, Picked Raspberry and Festive Berries Distress Oxides. The images are colored with Copics. This garden gate is a new favorite of mine!


Ready for take-off? Good, because here comes the Amazing Airplane Die-namics:


This die is such fun! I wanted to put all the cute critters from my stash into the planes. Here I chose to add the bears from Partners In Adventure. The background and the planes are inked with Cracked Pistachio, Peacock Feathers, Spun Sugar, Picked Raspberries, Milled Lavender and Wilted Violet Oxides.


 And finally a card using a lovely new Rachelle Anne Miller set:


This little girl is from the RAM Rainy Day Friends. I gave her a rainbow that I created with Distress Oxide inks. The images are colored with Copics again. This is a one-layer card made with masking paper.


You made it through all the cards! I hope you enjoyed them and that you were inspired! Now be sure to stop by the MFT Blog to see all the fabulous creations everybody came up with for today and to find the details on how to win $100 to the MFT shop!

I just love the flyers and their airplanes. These are so cute. I am hoping to make a really cute card for my Dad with the airplane stamps. He has been flying radio controlled airplanes almost his entire life, and loves them. He would be so happy to get a card with planes on it, AND adorable animals....

Vanessa,
Holy smokes, where have I been that I don't recognize your name?? I do now!! I absolutely love the card w/ the bears and the beautiful floral vine (Bleeding Heart?) and the picket fence/gate!! It's a stunner. I love the colors, the sentiment, just all of it!! I thought, well, there was a cute and punny gnome card that was adorable and then that gorgeous garden gate card. And then I scrolled and there were TWO MORE ABSOLUTE GEMS!! WHAAAT??!! I love the rainbow card with the little umbrella-toting girl. So sweet and all of these were expertly colored. Finally, the planes! Well, when I first saw that die of the plane, I knew I had to have it. I like the plane stamp set (not used here) but I LOVE the die that you used. I will check out your card again once my die arrives and use your work as a how-to. You are one amazing crafter!!!!!!!

Everyone of your card designs are spectacular! The coloring of each is a dream! The pastel colors for the airplanes is something I would not have thought of doing, yet they are perfect! And the umbrella card is a delight!

Heather said...

Wow!! You were busy! These are all amazing! Your gnome card is so fun with all the color, specially on their adorable, multi colored beards!! The little bear card is just soooooo sweet!! The airplane card is super fun; I love how you did the inked background! And the rainbow being turned into white light by the little umbrella is just brilliant! Awesome job on all!
