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?

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!!!!

Here is the card I made using one of the sentiments from this set.....

For my card I made a shaker based on the sentiment from the Tweet Me stamp set. I started off my card using the Stitched Rectangular Frame Die and designer paper from Echo Park~This & That. Next using one of the Bunch of Circle Dies, I made my window in which I filled it with the adorable envelopes and hearts die from the Fun Tweet Me Dies set. Finally I used the newly released "friend" die from the Friendships are Forever set and die cut it using designer paper and foam to then pop it up onto the front of my card. I then added another envelope die and another heart die for some extra simple embellishing.

You are not going to want to miss a thing! 

For my project today, I get to showcase the new set~

Friendships Are Forever

and here is what I made....

 I used a Shadowbox frame from 7~Gypsies and altered it to give to my bestie! I used designer paper from Fancy Pants~Wonderful Day and several MCT stamps and dies.

I wanted 2 spots for pictures so I used the XL Label Die and the matching Stitched XL Label die for my picture mats. I stamped the sentiment using the new Friendships are Forever set, once part of the sentiment onto each picture mat. For the centerpiece, I die cut the heart and added the "bestie" die popped up into the middle. Some random sparkly enamel dots completed this section.

For the top panels of my shadowbox, I used matching designer paper and filled in each square. Then using the Stitched Squares die I added 1 to each of the outside boxes. These could either hold more pictures so a fun quote can be added to these. Finally for the center square I added a Stitched Pretty Flower~again coordinating the pattern papers to match then whole project.

MCT 48th New Release Sneak Day 2

Good Morning everyone and welcome to Day 2 of Sneaks for the 

My Creative Time 48th New Release!!

What did you think of yesterday's sneak??? Ready for more????

Today we are showcasing the new set~

Best Friend Background Stamp

For my card today, I stepped outside of my comfort zone and tried some new techniques. First I have this gorgeous set of zig watercolor markers that I have yet to try out so to make my card, I started out with some Tim Holtz Watercolor paper and 3 colors, making a colorful background. Next I stamped the new Best Friend Background Stamp onto my card mat, stamping partially and only covering the background stamp with a random pattern of ink. I think it gives the card some extra texture~ thoughts??

Then I moved onto the sentiment. I ended up mixing 2 sentiment stamps~ Things I Love.... & Fun Variety on the Inside & Out to make the "to my best" sentiment. I used the "friend" die cut from yesterday's sneak Friendships are Forever and cut it out using some sparkly black paper. To finish my card off, I used the Stitched Rectangular Frame Die for my card mat, added a strip of the black sparkly paper behind the popped up card mat and placed 2 black enamel dots as my embellishment.

MCT 48th New Release Sneak Day 1

Good Morning everyone and welcome to Day 1 of Sneaks for the 

My Creative Time 48th New Release!!

This is such an awesome release and we can not wait to share all of our projects all week with you! Then I hope you will join us on Friday for the BIG reveal and Blog Hop!!! 

Today we are showcasing the new set~

 Friendships are Forever

I centered my card around the sentiment from this set. I found a cute globe cut in the Silhouette store and played around with the sizing so I could use one of the circle dies from the Bunch of Fun Circle die set. It was a perfect size for both my card and the sentiment~

don't you think?? Using the Stitched Rectangular Frame Die for the card mat, I added a smaller strip of the designer paper from the globe and stitched it onto the top of my card. Before doing that, I did add 2 Stitched Decorative Banner pieces. Some random enamel dots and my card was complete.
