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 all of these cards!! MFT is one of my fave brands for stamps so picking one set seems a little crazy hard … but maybe the Pirates? Or the icebears. Or or or … 😀

You always get my creative juices flowing with your amazing cards May!! These are fantastic, I especially love the way you only coloured the Yeti’s faces, a brilliant idea! So hard to choose a favourite MFT stamp set. I am very much in love with the lastest release set ‘New Best Friend’, showing the girls and their puppy/kitty, giving them cuddles. Absolutely gorgeous!!!
