Sending Hugs & Happy Thoughts.....{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

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!!!

Birthday Wishes....{MCT Tag it Tuesday}

Good Morning everyone!!
It is Tag It Tuesday with My Creative Time 
and I am sharing a fun treat with a birthday  tag using the newest release Stamp/Die sets~ Long Treat Box Die & Make a Splash
Take a look.....

If you didn't get a chance to hop with us this past weekend, you can checkout all the awesome DT inspiration by starting HERE. This release (like all of Miss Emma's releases) was AWESOME and I am totally loving the new Long Treat Box Die!

I used that die with some pretty rainbow designer paper from DoodleBug Designs to make my treat box. Since I knew that I wanted to make a birthday treat with a balloon tag, I pulled out my Stitched Circle Balloon Dies and cut 2 of the smallest ones using matching colored card stock.

The smaller of the balloons was stacked onto the larger balloon, right above the sentiment from the new set~ Make a Splash.

I also added that small heart, also a die from the new set Make a Splash.

To complete my project, I wrapped a white ribbon around the treat box and tied it into a small bow. To attach my balloon tag onto my treat box, I did so with a cute mini clothes pin.

Filled with some treats, and maybe some $, this would make such a cute birthday present for someone special!

I hope you like my project!!!

Make sure you head on over to My Creative Time to see what the rest of the DT made!

I know the inspiration is AWESOME!!!!

Thanks so much for stopping by and have a GREAT Tuesday!!!

Lucky...{MCT Whatever Wednesday}

Good Morning everyone and welcome to
Whatever Wednesday
with
My Creative Time!

For my project today, I made a St. Patty's day card for my husband using several MCT dies and stamps.
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 polka dot green designer paper and die cut a piece of white cardstock using the Stitched Rectangular Frame Die. 
Using the white cardstock and my MISTI, I set up the stamp sentiment and the die lettering so everything was lined up and even on the card mat. Once I was happy with the placement of everything, I taped down the lettering and stamped the sentiment in place.
Running my white cardstock mat through my Big Shot, I die cut the lettering out which was then taped onto the card base.
A fun design having the designer paper peek through the die cut lettering! Next I added the adorable stamped shamrock from the Mini Lolly Add On set and popped it up onto the card.
For my finishing touch, I used the new Pretty Edge Dies and die cut the tiny hearts to randomly glue around the whole sentiment.

Happy Easter to you!.....{MCT Trending Now~Spring Fling}

Good Morning everyone!!

I am back from vacation and trying to get back into the swing of things both in the house and here on my blog! I promise to be around really soon to play catch-up and know that I am not ignoring all your wonderful projects!!! Just give me a few more days to make my rounds!!!!!

I am sharing a card today for
My Creative Time's
Trending Now.....Spring Fling 

and the DT is making projects using Watercolors!!

Here is my Easter card......

take a look and let me know what you think!

I am fairly new at playing with watercolors and have to be honest....I struggled with this card. Not the actual design of the card, the watercolor part...LOL!

After playing around with several different colors of my Zig markers, I settled with these pastel colors for my Easter card.  I wanted something CAS so that I could mass produce these if needed and I think I came up with something even I can say I like :)

To make my card, I die cut a piece of watercolor paper using the Stitched Rectangular Frame Die and then started my watercolor design.

I colored each of the panels using my Zig markers and then ran some water over each color to achieve the watercolor look I wanted. I did go back and add more color to the yellow and blue since they were the lightest of the bunch. Very easy!

Next after my watercolor was dry, I stamped my sentiment from the new set~ Favorite Bunny. Such a perfect Easter set!!

I then wrapped some Totally White Trendy Twine around the card and popped the whole mat onto a kraft cardstock base. The finishing touch to my card is that cutie little bunny die cut from the newly released set~ Mini Bunny Dies

A quick and easy card to make that can be mass produced using lots of different sentiments!

I hope you like my card!
