Christmas in July – mistletoe – MFT die and magazine stamps

I knew for the mistletoe challenge for today’s Christmas in July project I wanted to use the MFT cover die but that was as far as my planning went!

Once I had cut it from the Kingston Crafts foiled cardstock (such a gorgeous green) I then decided to also grab the mistletoe stamp from a magazine kit and create a nice bright cluster.

I used my promarkers to colour the stamped image four times and then fussy cut them out and added some scrap strips behind them for a bit of dimension, I chose to add the cover panel onto the black base and then added those stamped ones to the topper panel.

I stamped and embossed the sentiment onto a black strip and then cut the banner element. I added that too with a little dimension so it fit nicely over the stamped sprigs.

I then decided to stamp the same image onto the card base but with second generation ink so it was paler.

Really love this modern and fun card – love the bright mistletoe images and that shiny background die cut!

Happy crafting!
