MFT & Friends October 2020 Release {Merry and Bright}

Hello friends! I'm super excited to be a "MFT Friend" for the October My Favorite Things release! I've had so much fun using many of the new products so I have A LOT to share with you today! You can read all about the new release over on the My Favorite Things Blog as well!

My first card for today uses the FABULOUS new Merry and Bright Die-Namics. I chose to die cut it twice out of white cardstock and then add the color using blender brushes and ink. I used the same color inks as the stripes in this fabulous new pattern paper pad called "Christmas Cheer". I've used it a lot for today's projects because it is just so cheery!  I don't have the links to each of the new products, but you can find the new release HERE.  I layered the colored letters on top of the second set I die cut using liquid glue for nice and sturdy pieces.

I layered them onto the snowflake panel using little strips and pieces of foam squares for dimension and then added a coat of Nuvo Crystal Glaze over the top and a sprinkling of coarse crystal glitter to the tops to look like snow.

I'm in love with the sweet penguins from this new Holiday Penguins stamp set. I decided to use one to accent this fun design! He has a White Nuvo drop on his Santa hat and I added a die cut candy can to his flipper for some added holiday charm!

I layered the snowflake panel onto a panel of the colorful striped paper to pull it all together! This is all on a top folding A2 white card base.

Here's another card using more sweet images and a sentiment from the new "Holiday Penguins" stamp set! They are just too cute and I know I will be using this set all season long! The sentiments are perfect for gift packaging and tags!

I created the background panel using Distress Oxide inks and some white paint splatter for a winter-y look! I stamped the images and then colored them using an assortment of alcohol markers and then die cut them using the coordinating Holiday Penguins Die-Namics.

The sentiment is stamped directly onto the die cut Snowy Hillside that was released last year. They worked perfectly to build this holiday scene. I layered the snow using foam squares for a dimensional scene.

I highlighted the tree by adding a die cut circle using pattern paper from the Christmas Cheer paper pad. The snowflakes are the "freebie" die with a qualifying purchase. They are called "Sweet Snowflakes" and are perfect additions to your winter/Christmas projects!

I added an assortment of Nuvo drops to the ornaments to give them some shape, shine, and color! A few sparkling clear sequins finish off this design!

Next up is a little duo of tags using the super sweet new Pure Innocence girls called "Sweet Christmas Wishes"! I couldn't decide between red or green striped tights, so I made one of each! ha ha!

I used one of the fun new sentiments from the Holiday Penguins stamp set, but the Pure Innocence set has some fabulous sentiments as well!

My last card for today uses another one of the adorable new Pure Innocence girls...this one is called "Reindeer Games", of course! Ha ha! I paired her with the fabulous new sentiment stamp called "Wishing You a Very Merry Christmas".

I haven't used an actual bow on a card in forever, but I felt like this cheerful design was begging for one! What do you think...bow or no bow?

I had such a good time using all of these fabulous new products...I didn't get a chance to get a few inky, so I'm sure I'll be using them shortly! Thanks for fluttering by!
