MFT Creative Olympics - Speed Cardmaking

Hi There! I'm so happy that I managed to make a card for the final round of MFT Creative Olympics - Speed Cardmaking. YAY! It was a great challenge and it's totally FUN! I made this simple best wishes card in 17 minutes and 5 seconds. Here is my take!

For this card, I picked a polka dots pattern Paper from Recollection Paper Pad and cut it out using the MFT Wonky Stitched Border. Then I inked the edges using distress ink. Next I die cut two different sizes of circles using MFT Stitched Circle die set. For the sentiment, I used the 'best wishes' die from MFT Cause of Celebration die set. I die cut the sentiment twice and adhered them together for added dimension. I finished off the card by adhering the sentiment on the stitched circle frame. That's all!

Check out the making video of this card on my IG @niftycrafty I'm so happy and proud to participate in all four events of MFT Creative Olympics! Best wishes to all the participants and huge thanks to MFT for hosting such a fun and challenging event!

MFT Creative Olympics - Crafty Biathlon

Hi There! I'm back with a card for the third event of MFT Creative Olympics - Crafty Biathlon. I decided to make a shaker card with masking technique. For this card, I used the fun yeti images from BB Beast Friends stamp set.

First, I stamped the yeti on the right and masked it. Next, I stamped on the other yeti and colored them using Copic Markers. Then, I did a partial die cut using the MFT Stitched Circle die to make a little window for them to stand. I placed the coordinating die of the yeti and run through my die cutting machine to just cut the top part of it. Since, I did a little masking this part was little tricky for me. Therefore I had to die cut them one at a time. I'm so happy that it did work!

Then I used the MFT Stitched Rectangle Scallop Frame die to cut the front card and inked up the frame with distress ink. To make a shaker card, I adhered a piece of vellum on the back of the front card. Next, I inked the center part of my base card with distress inks. I placed some sparkling sequins on the inked area and adhered the front card on to the base card with foam adhesive. As I used vellum for the window it kinda mutes the background color. But I love the minty iridescent look through vellum. Then I fussy cut a piece of white card to make a snow base for the yetis and inked the edges with distress ink. Finished off the card by stamping the sentiment from BB Beast Friend stamps set. That's all. I hope you like it.

MFT Creative Olympics - Freestyle Winter

Hi There! I'm sharing a cute birthday card which I made for the MFT Creative Olympics second event. It's a freestyle round and it has to be in winter theme. I used this week's sketch from MFT Wednesday Sketch Challenge #372 for inspiration. Here is my take!

I stamped and colored the cute bear and little gift box from BB Bitty Bears stamps set using distress inks. I die cut the images using their coordinating dies. Then, I stamped on the tree from MFT Modern Trees stamp set on a piece of card and heat embossed it with white embossing powder. Next, I inked the background using distress inks. I used the blending tool to blend the three soft colors and create a wintery sky ombre.

Once done with the background, I used the MFT Wonky Stitched Rectangle to cut out the card. I also inked the same colors on the base card. Then, I adhered the bear next to the tree and stamped the sentiment directly on the card. I used the 'A little something for you' sentiment from the BB Bitty Bears stamp set. I love this sentiment as it goes well with the bear holding a small gift on his hands. To finished off the card, I used the glitter pen to make the ground filled with little snow. That's all! I hope you enjoyed my card.

MFT Creative Olympics - Stamping Slalom

Hi There! Time to have more fun with MFT goodies! I’m so happy and excited to take part in the MFT Creative Olympics Challenge - Stamping Slalom. It’s a special challenge where you have to make a card with three or more of MFT stamps set. That's sooo fun!! I made this card as soon as I saw the post on their blog. But it took some time for me to update here due to few errands. Busy mommy! :P Here is my take on the first event!

First, I stamped the little teddy from Playful Pups stamps set and masked it. Then, I stamped the girl with gift box from Pure Innocence Happy Birthday to You stamps set followed by the balloons from BB Happy Hippo stamps set. I heat embossed all the images with clear embossing powder and colored them with distress inks. I did little paper piecing on the gift box ribbon using pattern paper from MFT True Blue Houndstooth paper pack.

For the sentiment, I create an ombre background on a white card stock using Festive Berries and Spun Sugar distress ink. Then, I placed the birthday die cut from the MFT Cause for Celebration dies set and cut out the word. To give a little dimension, I made another piece of it using pink card stock and layered the ombre word on top of it. Then, I picked the Happy sentiment from BB Bitty Bears stamp set and stamped it on top of the card. I adhered the birthday sentiment and finished off the card by adding some dots on the balloons using gold and silver gel pen.
