Happy Friday! Today I have 4 holiday card ideas to help you get your creative juices flowing this weekend, featuring fun stamps and dies from My Favorite Things.
Festive Christmas Card w/ Stamped Background (December 2016)
I created a colorful Christmas card with full of fun images from two fabulous stamp sets from My Favorite Things: Beast Friends and Merry Everything.
I masked the images while stamping to add some interest to my background and colored them with Copic markers.
If you have many small stamps you don’t use often, this is a great opportunity to pull them out and create a fun background. Click HERE to read my original post.
Deer Friend Christmas Card (October 2016)
I couldn’t resist myself creating a winter scene by combining two adorable stamp sets from My Favorite Things: Beast Friends and Deer Friends.
I always love to tell a story in my cards when possible. Click HERE to learn how I made this card and what story I made up. 🙂
Christmas Eve Themed Card (October 2016)
I created a festive Christmas Eve themed card using a couple of amazing products from My Favorite Things‘s October 2016 Holiday Release.
I was inspired by my own childhood memory to create this card. When I was little, I was waiting for midnight to come as I wanted to meet Santa. But I always fell asleep even before 9:00 PM.
This card captures the moment when Santa is loading the gift boxes into his sleigh at 11:55 PM on Christmas Eve. Inspiration can came from everywhere, right? Click HERE to read my original post.
One Layer Christmas Card (October 2016)
For this cute one layer card, I used the masking technique to add some dimension/interest to my image from the Beast Friends stamp set. Then I drew some extended Christmas lights using Copic Multiliner.
It’s always good to have a stash of one layer Christmas cards as they are mail friendly. Click HERE to read my original post.

I would say that the BG Mesmerizing Mandala is one of my favorites, though I must admit it is hard to pick one up. Happy weekend all!

Your cards are beautiful! I love MFT stamps and dies. My favorites are their background stamps. The slanted stripe one(older stamp) is probably my favorite of all time.

I love these cards you made. It’s hard to say which is my favorite MFT stamp set. I love their Flashy florals and in the new release, I love the snowflake splendour which is in my wish list.

Your cards are beautiful. Thanks for mixing some older stamp sets in so they keep getting put to good use!

Beautiful and colorful cards. Watching the clock and the NORAD website for Santa sightings is such a fond memory for me too (now enjoying with the kiddo). My favorite MFT stamps are the essential sentiments. All occasion or no occasion, these rock. Thank you for sharing your designs and inspiration. I always enjoy.

Love these cards!! It is so hard to narrow it down to one stamp set, but I think it is Otterly Love You. I love the otters and especially the one holding the baby.
Nov . 10 . 2017Marcia Scantlin
I always liked the yeti.
Nov . 10 . 2017Jennifer Williams
I love that Hand lettered Stamp Set. The font is beautiful and the sentiments are excellent!!

I so enjoy and am inspired by your cards! It is very difficult to pick a favorite so I will list three – Beast Friends, Friends in the forest, and the skiing Polar Bears to name a few!
Nov . 10 . 2017Christine
Cute cards May. Being newish to stamping there are a few MFT stamps sets on my wishlist but I’d probably start with one of their general sentiment sets. They have really nice scripted fonts as well as the nice, easy to read ones that I could use all the time.

Wow, such fun cards, love the one with the clock in the background. My favourite stamp set from MFT is Mermazing, the mermaids and the little turtle are so adorable, and it’s a very versatile stamp set.
