Sending You Big Thanks...{MCT Thoughtful Tuesday}

Good morning friends and welcome to another 

MCT Thoughtful Tuesday!

Today the DT is showcasing projects with a thank you theme and for my project I used the newly released Gift Card Gift Box Die

take a look at my project and let me know what you think....

Giving gift card gifts is surely a way to say thanks for many different reasons. While going through my MCT stamps and dies, I came across the Fun Notes set and pulled the sentiment from that to pair it up with the "thanks" from the Happy Thoughts set.
Both sentiments were added to the belly band which is part of the Stitched Belly Band Dies set and was wrapped around my gift box.
For a little extra embellishing, I added a matching flower using the Stitched Pretty Flowers & Leaves Dies and then for the middle I added an enamel dot in a pearl color very similar to my designer paper.
If you have not grabbed this new Gift Card Gift Box die yet, you really need to! This die makes giving gift cards that much more special!!!

I appreciate you taking the time to stop by today! Make sure to check out the rest of the inspiration over on the MCT blog!
Have a GREAT Tuesday everyone!!!

Get Whale Soon....{MCT Thoughtful Thursday}

Good Morning everyone!

I hope you are all having a GREAT week so far!!!

It's Thursday  which means time for another

My Creative Time~ Thoughtful Thursday

For my card today, I made a get well card using the revised set~ Get Whale Soon 

Take a look and let me know what you think.....

To make my card, I started with a kraft cardstock base, added a layer of white cardstock and then die cut a piece of designer paper from Lawn Fawn using the Stitched Rectangular Frame Die
I added some waves using the die from the set~ You're a Great Catch which I layered under that pretty navy ribbon.
The frame that the adorable whale is sitting on is from the  set~ Scalloped Stitched Square Dies. The whale was popped up onto the frame and the water spout was then stamped onto the square mat.
The sentiment which is also from the set Get Whale Soon was stamped onto the Fun Stitched Tag Die
Finishing touches to my card were some matching enamel dots.

Good Morning everyone!

My Creative Time~ Thoughtful Thursday

Spring is in the air here so my card was inspired by some of the beautiful flowers that are starting to come into the stores around town using the newly released Beautiful Day set.

Take a look and let me know what you think.....

I got a little inky with my card today and played around a bit with masking....not bad for my first time I have to say :)

To make my card I started with a white card stock mat that was die cut using the Stitched Rectangular Frame Die

Next I stamped the flowers randomly around the bottom of the card mat using the the Beautiful Day set. The flowers were colored using my copic markers and for some added dimension, I used my white gel pen and some white Nuvo Crystal drops for the centers.

Once the crystal drops were dry, I die cut the same flowers and laid them over the stamped images. Using Salty Ocean Distress Ink, I inked over the white card mat and when the die cuts were pulled up it left a beautiful colored background and a pretty white border around the flowers.

Moving onto the finishing touches of my card, I die cut a piece of black card stock and added the border using the set Pretty Edge Dies

The sentiment, also from the Beautiful Day set was stamped onto the banner die from Chocolate Greetings. 

One more flower colored with my copics was added above the banner sentiment to complete my card.

So what do you think of my card? I love the background and if you haven't tried masking yet, you really need to!!!

Thoughtful Thursday w/My Creative Time

Good Morning everyone!
Today is Thoughtful Thursday over on the My Creative Time blog 
a newer segment where the DT makes a  card or project centered around the... thinking of you, thank you, sympathy, etc theme :)

For my card I was inspired by Day 1 of the new Online Card Class~ Holiday Cards and Laurie Willison's gorgeous CAS card. 
I started my card by using a piece of white cardstock  and taping off a diagonal section towards the top of the card. Then using some Cotton Candy ink, I tried to ink in a dark to light manner...starting at the top and working towards the taped off section.
Once the inking was to my liking, I pulled off the tape and made some random score marks...just for some extra detail.
Using the Friendships are Forever stamp/die set, I stamped my sentiment and then placed the die cut "friend" using the score lines as my guide.
Some matching enamel dots finish my card off for a very quick and CAS friendship card.

So what do you think????? Want to see more projects?
