My Favorite Things September 2021 Release Cards

Today is the My Favorite Things September 2021 release. There are SO MANY CUTE PRODUCTS in this release! You can see the entire release HERE. I liked so many sets that I ended up using quite a few of them on one card! I made two slimline cards to share with you. The first card uses the new Stacey Yacula card called Christmas Carols. Here is an image of the stamp set:

My second card uses a few different sets including Paw La La La, Meowy Christmas, Special Delivery and the Fireplace Die. Here are images of each of these sets:

Here is my first slimline card using the Stacey Yacula Christmas Carols stamp set and matching dies:

This slim-line card uses the Stacey Yacula Christmas Carols stamp set and matching dies. I love this set SO much! It is just darling and I love the sentiments in it as well. Her sets are always my favorites though, so no surprise there! I started by stamping ALL of the images in the set ton white cardstock with Intense Black Ink. I then colored them all in with colored pencils. I stamped the lights, stones, and snowflakes twice each so I made sure to have enough images to create a scene. 

After all the images were colored, I arranged them on a blank white slimline size card front (3.5" x 8.5") so I could decide how to do the background. I used the MFT Slimline Snow Drifts die for the ground portion. I used Distress Oxide Inks and SSS Ink Brushes to color the sky and ground piece. I made the sky portion with Stormy Sky and Chipped Sapphire Distress Oxide Inks. I flicked water over the inks and dabbed them with a paper towel. I then flicked more of the ink over the background and some white acrylic paint over the background. I used two colors of Simon Says Stamp inks for the ground piece. I attached the ground over the sky to complete the background. 

I attached all of the images over the background. I used foam tape behind many of them. I embossed the sentiment on the top of the card with Ranger white embossing powder. I used Chalk Stick Nuvo Drops around the card to look like additional snow. I used some of the Nuvo Glitter Drops in the center of the snowflakes.

My second card uses all of the stamp sets I listed above:

My second card is another slim-line design. I can't resist using this size to create scenes and the MFT stamps I use are always perfect for creating scenes! I stamped all of the images from the Paw La La La and Meowy Christmas stamp sets. I stamped just the gifts from the Special Delivery stamp set. I colored all of the images in with colored pencils. I wanted to use the tree first, but then I realized all of the kitty images would go so well with the tree. These sets seem to just be made to go together! 

I made the background with a strip of white paper colored with gray inks. I then made the upper portion with Antique Linen Distress Oxide Ink and the MFT Slimline Brick Wall Stencil. I thought this stencil would work perfectly for an indoor scene. After I made the background and started arranging all of the stamped images over it, I decided to use the new Fireplace Die. I die-cut it from white cardstock and then used inks to color it. I applied glitter glue to the fire pieces. I used the same stencil over the main part of the fireplace to add bricks to it. I attached the fireplace to the left side of the background of the card. I used the little sitting kitty on top of it with foam tape behind it. I attached the tree in the center of the card and all of the other cats, gifts, and yarn balls around the front of the card. 

I stamped a sentiment from the Meowy Christmas stamp set (cut it in half) with black ink on the top right side of the card. I used Nuvo Glitter Drops over many of the elements on the card such as the presents, the tree star, and the large bulb. I used some Black Board and Chalk Stick Nuvo drops around the sentiment.

That's it for my use of the brand new MFT release for September 2021! I think I used about as many sets as possible in this release on just two cards - go me haha! I hope you enjoyed these two cards and thank you so much for visiting! suzy
