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.

Love your 4 cards! Thanks for sharing. My favorite MFT set is the Snowflake stamp and the coordinating dies that layer to make different snowflakes! I missed the kit and now that they’re released, I missed them again because they are already sold out! I’m guessing lots of people would say they were some of their favorites too!

Nov . 10 . 2017You know, I love so many sets from MFT that I don’t think I could pick just one but a current favorite is Bitty Bears and the new Pawliday set.
Thanks for the chance to win!

Oh May how fun and festive these cards are! YOU are my inspiration for OLC (and watercolor and so much more). I love your “Rudolph gets his antlers story” for your Deer Card. I love the Hand Lettered Christmas sentiments and the B.B. Jingle All the Way. So hard to pick just one favorite! (The Beast Friends are super cute too!). Thanks for a generous giveaway.

Although I enjoy all of their stamps and appreciate the great customer service MFT provides, my favorite stamp set would have to be Happy Hippos with many other running a close 2nd. Lol
