Happy Fourth of July!....{MCT Sneak Day 1}

Good Morning and 
Welcome to Day 1 of sneaks for the new
My Creative Time 33rd  Release!
This is such an AWESOME release and I know you will all LOVE it to pieces so....
today the DT is showcasing projects using the 
Happy Thoughts & You are Fabulous
stamp and die sets.

For my card, I use the current sketch from our Designers Challenge, mixed with some of the colors from the photo inspiration
(you can see all the details on this challenge and enter your project HERE)


to come up with this card......
Here is how I made my card...I started with an A2 card base and added a layer of designer paper. Then I moved onto setting up my sentiment. I used the new "happy" die from the Happy Thoughts set and die cut it into my white card stock. Removing the word and setting it aside for another project. Then using the same die, I did it again with some red card stock taking the word and inserting it into my cut out white piece. Using the "fourth of july" sentiment from the same set, I stamped it under the "happy".
Next I die cut some stars in different shapes using the 3 Star Stitched Dies in red, white and blue. To add some texture to the stars, I stamped each one using the new pattern stamps from the You Are Fabulous stamp set. 
After adding all of my layers and popping up some of the stars, I placed some random sequins onto the star die cuts.
And there you have my card :)
Such a fun and festive card, don't you think??

  10. You used my favorite technique for word dies. I just love cutting the word out and then embedding the word with another paper. I'm so happy to see more word dies from Emma just for this reason.
