MFT: Here's To You stamp set and Frosty Beer Mug Dynamics

Hello! 

So sadly as we know MFT closed its doors in July 2025 (sob!) but I've still got some cards I made ages ago that I haven't posted!!

Here's Here's To You sentiment set and the Frosty Beer Mug Dienamics I used to make this card...



I used the dies to cut out the beer mug and froth and coloured with copics. I then adhered to some white cardstock and mounted on black and then brown cardstock. I stamped a sentiment from the Here's To You sentiment set and finally added some enamel dots. 

A super easy male birthday card!

Stamping Bella: Bellarific Friday with Oddball Spooky Lady and Haunted House Backdrop!

Hello my crafting peeps!

Today I'm sharing Oddball Spooky Lady and Haunted House Backdrop for this week's Bellarific Friday...

 



I coloured Oddball Spooky Lady with copics and then fussy cut her out. I then created a background using the Haunted House Backdrop. I coloured the stamped image first and then masked it out and used Distress Oxides to create the moody sky. I then added a strip of glitter cardstock and mounted Spooky Lady with 3d foam pads. I then die-cut the "Happy Halloween" using cardstock and glitter cardstock and then adhered them using 3d foam pads. Finally I added some teeny stars!
