Handmade by Kavya: MFT

Hi folks,

I am back with another card to share witu you! CAS is not my style but I love working with typography and sentiments! If you follow me on Instagram, you would know it by now!

This card was a result of trying to come up with some typographical elements. If you look closer, the animals actually form the word 'HI' !!!

I love CAS cards that use products cleverly and I think I did so? For this card, I used MFT Double the Fun and MFT All the encouragement for the sentiment. Any additional elements were all hand-drawn.

This is how I put this together:

I first stamped the images

I then drew the additional elements. No non-MFT stamps, sentiments, dies, and stencils were used.

And that's it! How simple is that? I added a blue shadow so that people can quickly realize it says 'HI'. I think this counts as CAS.... What do you think?

Thanks,

Kavya

Hi folks,

I am back at Crafty Meraki with another card using some MFT stamps! I just got my first set of Prismacolors and I am in love with how vibrant they are! This was such an amazing upgrade from my Faber Castell classic colored pencils.

For this card, I used MFT Double the Fun and All the Encouragement stamp sets to create this scenery. I stamped the images on Kraft card stock using black pigment ink and I then hand drew a simple jungle background and colored it in using colored pencils. Pretty simple and makes a stunning card to gift to an awesome friend!

I hope you like it!

Hugs,

Hi folks!

I am back again to share a super special card! My very first entry into MFT Card Design contest. I started cardmaking less than 9 months ago and I have been waiting for this ever since. This is one of the largest cards I ever made (folded an A4 paper in half) and took me over two days to finish! I use three different coloring mediums - colored pencils, watercolors and alcohol ink markers and multiple MFT stamps and some hand-drawn elements that bring the piece together.

Some backstory: This is a tribute to all the mothers out there that throw amazing themed birthday parties! In this card, the mama elephant is doing one for her child and its space-themed!

This is how I put this together:

I used three stamp sets: MFT Space Explorers, MFT Double the Fun and MFT Happy Hippos
I first stamped the sentiment and hand drew the 'water burst' and the red planet.

I then watercolored the space backdrop and painted a hand-drawn earth

I wanted to create some animal astronauts and the MFT Double the Fun and MFT Happy Hippos set was perfect for that! I drew a circle around each animal and added a band at their neck to make it look like a helmet! It's that simple. I also used a bunch of elements from space explorers and fuzzy cut all of them! This took me HOURS! I also modified the Happy Hippos set so that the hippo is actually holding a balloon of stars. This is how it looks after 1.5 days of work as I spent extensive time on details such as the helmet, planet closeups etc.

This is the final piece of work:

Fingers crossed!

Hey folks!

Today's card shows yet another way to use the MFT's Corner Blooms stamp available at Crafty Meraki. Here's how I made this card:

First, stamp the image on some 110lb cardstock
Cut one 'arm' of the corner blooms stamp (I decided to cut the one with two smaller flowers/the one placed on the right side of the heart)
Add a stem to the main flower and color the image using alcohol ink marker

For the background, blend the bottom half of the panel using Antique Linen distress ink. Then, heat emboss the MFT Harmonius Hibiscus background using a pearl gold embossing powder of your choice
Add a sentiment and embellishments of your choice to finish it up! I used a sentiment from MFT Flower Fairies stamp set available at Crafty Meraki and some holographic clear sequins

And you are done :) I hope you enjoyed these creative ways to use a corner stamp!

Thanks,

Kavya

Supplies used:

Floral Stamp: MFT Corner Blooms, MFT Harmonious Hibiscus Background
Sentiment: MFT Flower Fairies
Distress Inks for blending: Ranger Tim Holtz Mini Distress Ink Pads - Antique Linen

Hey folks!

I hope everyone is safe and sound! Today's card uses MFT's Corner Blooms stamp available at Crafty Meraki to create a heart as a focal image. Yup, you don't have to use corner stamps for just corners anymore! With few alterations, this floral stamp proves to be a versatile addition to your craft stash. Here's how I made this card:

First, stamp the image on some 110lb cardstock and color using alcohol ink markers
Die cut a heart from pale gray cardstock and ink blend the edges using various shades of green
Cut one 'arm' of the corner blooms stamp (I decided to cut the one with two smaller flowers/the one placed on the right side of the heart)
Place the fuzzy cut pieces as follows (feel free to cut the leaves as well and place them wherever you desire!):

Add a sentiment and embellishments of your choice to finish it up! I used a sentiment from MFT Flower Fairies stamp set available at Crafty Meraki and some holographic clear sequins
For the background, dry emboss the panel using an embossing folder of your choice and mat it on a slightly larger piece of green cardstock to add some dimension!

Voila! You are done :) I hope you enjoyed this quick and short tutorial. I will be back in a few days with yet another way to use the corner blooms stamp from MFT!

Thanks,

Kavya

Supplies used:
