Inspire Me Wednesday w/ MCT

Good Morning everyone!
Thanks for stopping by today for another
Inspire Me Wednesday with My Creative Time!

Today's inspiration comes from this Pinterest post HERE
I took the main idea of the card and matched it with some newly released My Creative Time stamps and dies.
I hope you like my card....
To make my card I started by die cutting several of the smallest balloons and arranging them to make a background. Once I had the balloons laid out how I wanted them I used a rectangular frame die to make the card mat.
I used the same balloon to die cut a pattern paper one which was then popped up onto the front of the card. I did attach some trendy twine for the string and added some extra sparkle by using the sequins.
For the sentiment, I stamped it onto a piece of vellum and then angled it. Something alittle different and fun!

You are not going to want to miss a thing! 

For my project today, I get to showcase this releases  set~
Make a Wish
a must have stamp/die set for all those birthday celebrations!!
I went with another CAS card design for this birthday card....I figured this would be a great card to grab for those last minute birthday parties.
I used the Make a Wish set for the sentiment and the candle and paired it up with the little postage stamp die.
I started this card by heat embossing the sentiment onto my blue cardstock. Next I took the candle die and cut it out using some pretty polka dot designer paper. I wanted to use those postage stamp dies so I took the candle die cut and separated it so each piece would fit onto the postage stamp.
For the wick of the candle I used a small piece of hemp twine and popped up each piece using some foam squares.
The finishing touches for my card included some yellow sequins and glossy accents on the flame.

Today's new stamp/die set is:
MAKE A WISH
For my project today I got a jump start for my son's 13th birthday by making him his card and a matching gift bag.
I used some designer paper from MME~Boy Crazy and kept the design of my card focused to the center of the card.
I used one of the new candle dies, some matching designer paper and added the flame a different color. The candle was then popped up onto the front of my card using some foam squares. 
I stamped the sentiment..also from the new Make a Wish set under my candle and further embellished simply with a hemp bow, some enamel dots and glossy accents on the flame.

The matching gift bag was done using the same designer paper and the totally AWESOME gift bag die.
I added a different sentiment for this one as well as a smaller candle die cut. 
So super fun and perfect for holding a gift card and some candy!!

For my inspiration today I went along the CAS lines pulled out my sewing machine for this card. I used 3 of the new star dies and die cut them using some pretty designer paper from MME. To attach them to my card I ran a line of stitching through the stars. Love the way it looks and the extra texture it adds to my card.
The sentiment is also from the new set...LOVE the font on these, don't you?!?!

Create Your Own Future....{MCT Tag It Tuesday}

Good Morning everyone!!
It's Tag It Tuesday and I am sharing an inspirational tag using the newest release Stamp/Die set~ CREATE
If you didn't get to hop with the DT this past weekend when MCT and Miss Emma released this set you can always go back and check out the FABULOUS projects created with this HERE
With graduation season upon us I thought this tag would be so fun to add to a graduation gift bag. 
I used the Tag Dies and Tag Die Layers for the tag base. Next I pulled out an older MCT stamp/die set~The Sky is the Limit and stamped the balloon on some designer paper from My Minds Eye. I die cut the balloon out and popped it up onto my tag using some foam squares.
The CREATE die cut as well as the matching sentiment is from the new release! Dont you just LOVE that sentiment???
I did pop up the CREATE sentiment again with some foam and finished off my tag with some white crinkle ribbon.

Here is the card I made using this new set....
For my card I pulled out my Zig watercolor markers and went CAS with my design.
I was thinking rainbows...well because I think we all need to be reminded that life is full of beautiful colors and we should follow this sentiment....."to create the life you want to live!"
I kept that as my focal point and created a pretty rainbow watercolored background.
Next I stamped my "create" sentiment onto the watercolor paper.
I grabbed the banner die from the Chocolate Greetings set and extended the die cut to fit the rest of my sentiment.
It was then popped up using foam squares and the whole card mat attached to my card base with another piece of foam for some added dimension.
I finished my card up with some matching colored enamel dots placed onto the corresponding watercolor.

Happy Mother's Day.....{MCT Inspire Me Wednesday}

Good Morning and welcome to another
Inspire Me Wednesday with My Creative Time!
My inspiration today came from the recen
Online Card Class~Clear & Sheer
I love watching those talented ladies share tips and tricks with using all kinds of products and this class was no different! 
I have always steered away from using velum because I never know how to attach it to my cards without seeing the adhesive behind. For a while I have been using my sewing machine which is great but its always nice to find new ways.
For this card I used my embellishments to hide my adhesive. 
I stared my card by heat embossing my sentiment onto the velum diecut. 
Next I used the happy die cut from the Happy Everything set and popped it onto the front of my card using foam dots. You cant really see but it is holding part of my velum in place
Next I die cut the flower and was able to hide more of my adhesive behind the velum with the flower popped up in front.
Finally I added some enamel dots which again is holding that velum down.
The cool part about this card is some of the corners are free floating on the velum which gives it some extra detail which I love!
