Hello friends! I just love a good rainbow stripe, don't you?!!! I'm sharing a couple of birthday cards started from a single background that started out with wanting to showcase a striped die cut sentiment. I am always needing birthday cards so anytime I can create more than one in a sitting, it's a good thing! Both cards feature multiple MFT Stamps stamps and dies, many brand new from the February Release or other recent releases! Let's get started!

The new Number Jumble Background was stamped on a 4" x 5 1/4" smooth white background with clear embossing ink and heat embossed with Hero Arts Satin Pearl embossing powder. I picked this embossing powder because I wanted a tone-on-tone background that showed up a little better than a white or clear embossed background.
A rainbow of cardstock strips were trimmed to approximately 1/8" wide and adhered to a 4" x 5 1/4" piece of smooth white cardstock with a layer of Stick It Adhesive on the front. The panel was run through my Spellbinders Platinum die cutting machine to flatten the strips and secure them to the Stick It Adhesive.
The pieces and backgrounds were adhered to white top fold card bases as shown. I love that there is no waste with this design! I ran both cards through my die cutting machine again to secure the sentiment inlay into both backgrounds.
The Mini Cupcake Maker Dies were die cut from multiple cardstock and assembled to the top of the die cut greeting as shown. Glossy Accents was applied to the cherry and sprinkles on the cupcakes.

Hello friends! I'm sharing three ways to use a sunshine stencil today for quick and easy, yet stunning cards. We will be using Deco Foil Transer Gel Duo and Foil on one background, applying Gold Glitz Glitter Gel to colored cardstock for the another background, and applying dye inks through the stencil first and finishing with White Glitz Glitter Gel on top for a rainbow of glittery rays for the third card. All designs were finished with a die cut heart in the center that features a greeting! My favorite thing about these cards? They mix and match supplies from many companies. This is always one of my most favorite techniques and ways to extend your supplies!

Watch the creation of these three stenciled cards from start to finish below or click HERE to watch in HD:
All three backgrounds started with a 4" x 5 1/4" piece of cardstock and each was stenciled with the MFT Stamps Radiating Rays Stencil.
The heart was applied to the background with foam adhesive squares and finished with a scattering of Little Things Sprinkles Big Hearts embellishments.
The background of this card was created by applying a layer of Deco Foil Transer Gel Duo through the stencil using a Stencil Pal. The gel was allowed to dry for an hour before Rainbow Foil was used with a Die Cutting Machine to apply the foil to the gel. This gel can be used with either a laminator OR a die cutting machine.
Each background was secured to a white top fold card base to finish the designs.

The Slider Surprise cover and pull tab were die cut from smooth white cardstock. The panels were inked with the following Simon Says Stamp dye inks and ink blending brushes:
The Slider Surprise is slightly smaller than A2 size. A background for each card was trimmed from smooth white cardstock, measuring 4 1/4" x 5 1/2".
Greetings from the MFT Stamps Sweetie Pie and Smitten With You stamp sets was stamped on the background panel as shown.
The Slider Surprise pull tab was adhered to the back of the front panel along the bottom edge only. An interactive word from the Interactive Labels Stamp Set was stamped along the top with Black Ink to let the recipient know the card is interactive!
The Sweet As Pie paper pieced pie was added to the pig with it's arms wrapped around to appear to be holding it. I can't wait to see what other dies I have that can be used with these cute critters!
The pig was paper pieced and adhered only to the bottom half of the sliding mechanism as shown.
The bunny was paper pieced and adhered only to the bottom half of the sliding mechanism as shown.
Glossy Accents was added to the noses and hearts. White pen detail was added to all three critters for a playful touch.

Happy Tuesday friends! Have you seen the Simon Says Stamp August 2019 Card Kit, Party Like A Panda?!!! If you adore these adorable little creatures, this kit is for you! I used the patterned papers, flocked papers, picture book die, stamps, and more on THESE cards and today I'm sharing an interactive slider surprise card featuring the patterned papers and stamps from the kit.

The MFT Slider Surprise was used to die cut the front panel for the card from one of the patterned papers from the kit. In addition to the front panel and the "pull" tab panel, which were die cut, I also trimmed the following papers to create the center panel of the Slider Surprise:
2 3/4" x 3 3/4" white cardstock
2 - 1/2" x 2 3/4" green patterned paper strips
On the white panel I stamped the panda and gift images from the Party Like A Panda Stamp Set and colored in the images as well as the background with Copic Markers. The following marker combinations were used to color in this crying cutie:
Once the images were colored, sentiments from the Party Like A Panda Stamp Set were stamped along the top of the panel with clear embossing ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder. The panel was adhered to the bottom edge only of the Slider Surpriese and the two green strips were adhered as shown.
Using the Slider Surprise Die as a guide, I marked the window opening on another piece of smooth white cardstock and stamped the panda and balloons from the Party Like A Panda Stamp Set before coloring in the images as well as the background with Copic Markers. The following marker combinations were used to color in this crying cutie:
Another sentiment from the Party Like A Panda Stamp Set was stamped on the background with clear embossing ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder.
Glossy Accents was applied to parts of the panda's faces and the balloons and allowed to completely air dry.
The Slider Surprise was adhered over the inside panel with foam adhesive and the entire thing was adhered to a white top fold card base.
