Hello, friends. We are safe today. I am back with a video tutorial featuring a Hip Hip Yay Alphabet stamp set from MFT Stamps. I made this card back in February, before the war.

I am a big fan of any alphabet products, be it a die set (you might remember my custom sentiment die-cut cards I shared HERE), or a stamp set, as these types of sets offer amazing versatility. When you have an alphabet you can create any sort of custom message for your handmade cards or even more, you can make larger size art with inspiring quotes and I’m sure there are lots more you can do with it, but that’s what I typically use my alphabet sets for. This particular set has caught my eye as the font is so unique – it is fun, quirky, and playful.

CARD DETAILS

There are 2 ways to use this set. You can either first decide on the sentiment you want to spell using these alphas or stamp just the letters you’ll need for that sentiment. Or you can stamp all of the letters and stamp multiples. I like to mass produce with sets like this one, so I stamped several panels by using my MISTI stamping tool. I used all alphas and stamped them all at once onto several white cardstock panels.

I never have enough Birthday cards, so naturally, I wanted to make another Birthday one. I also don’t ever have any snarky cards in my stash, so I opted for a snarky sentiment – I’m still younger than you.

My coloring was simple – going from dark at the bottom of the letter, to light at the top. I used RV04, RV02 and RV00; R24, R22, and R20; YR07, YR04, and YR00; Y35, Y13, and Y11; YG17, YG03 and YG01; BG15, BG13 and BG11; B02, B00, and B000.

There are coordinating dies available for this set and so I use mine to cut the letters out and I also die-cut identical shapes from white fun foam. I love to add dimension to my cards and I do that by either using foam adhesive squares, which I didn’t want to do for this card as that would mean a lot of cutting of the foam squares into smaller pieces or by using fun foam. Next, I spelled out the sentiment on my work surface.

Btw, I used a new glass mat for my crafting. And I LOVE it! I feel like it makes everything look so much brighter. It is a magnetic glass craft mat from Glassboard Studio. The mat is heat resistant, meaning you can heat emboss on it or place your hot foil plates on top of it. It also wipes clean and is scratch-resistant, which is great for us messy crafters. I have the largest 24 x 36” size which is perfect for my craft desk as it provides ample crafting space. I’ve been looking for a great mat for a long time and I feel like this is it.

Use code YANA20 to get 20% off anything from Glassboard Studio. They package these mats exceptionally well, they arrive without any problems even if shipped overseas.

I played a bit with the letter placement and used the grid of my glass mat to get the placement and spacing just right. Next, I went to the kitchen and got my press ‘n seal – I finally managed to order several rolls. I used the piece and placed it over the sentiment to help me secure the placement and transfer the sentiment safely onto the card.

I flipped the letters to the other side using my piece of press and seal and added glue to each of the letters, then, I carefully picked the press and seal up and transferred my sentiment onto my white cardstock panel. And I can’t believe how easy this was! And I also cannot believe my stupidity for not getting press and seal sooner. It would have made my cardmaking life and probably my kitchen life so much better. So don’t be like me.

I did place my sentiment slightly toward the top of the panel leaving room at the bottom as I planned to stamp a sub sentiment. I trimmed the panel down a bit – just 1/8” off. Next, I used a sentiment from the Little Birthday Notes stamp set and stamped it in black under my main message. And that reads – Cue the confetti.

This alphabet stamp set also has a few extra images to add character to each letter and there are dies to cut them out as well. I colored and cut out a few and used them to spice up my sentiment.

And that finished my card! I hope you’ll feel inspired to create and will give this idea a try. Have fun crafting! Love you guys and I’ll see you next time.
