Happy Happy Happy...Birthday {MCT Birthday Palooza}

Good morning everyone and thanks for stopping by my blog!

I have a Birthday Palooza post to share today for My Creative Time.

You can never have too many birthday cards in your stash and this card is so easy to make using MCT stamps and dies.
Take a look and let me know what you think...

I pulled out an older MCT set today for this card~ Happy Thoughts ~which I think is now retired :(
I die cut the "happy" sentiment 5 times in a rainbow color combo of cardstock and then attached them to the front of my card mat in a diagonal pattern.
For the "birthday" sentiment, I used the same Happy Thoughts set and stamped it onto the smallest of the Strip Sentiment Dies
A hemp twine bow around the whole card mat completed my birthday card!

I apoligize for making a card using a retired stamp/die set, I try really hard to pull all of the older sets no longer available on the MCT website but this one must have slipped by.

As always, thanks for stopping by my blog!
Make sure to check out what the rest of the DT made over on the 
My Creative Time blog.

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!!!

MCT 45th New Release Sneak Day 1

Morning everyone and welcome to Day 1 of sneaks for the

45th New Release from My Creative Time!

Today the DT will be showcasing the new and totally FUN set~

Stitched Starburst Dies

I LOVE making shaker cards and when I saw these new dies, that is the first thing that came to mind :)

I used 3 of the new Stitched Starburst Dies to make my shaker embellishment, piecing them together on some acetate. I did die cut the center starburst using a circle die from the Bunch of Stitched Circle Die set. 

After filling the starburst with coordinating sequins I closed the shaker up and went about putting the rest of my card together. I was going for a CAS look with some sparkle so I used strips of black cardstock and added Wink of Stella shimmer to them. For the sentiment, I did the same thing with the Wink of Stella after die cutting the "thanks" sentiment". To finish my card up, I added some random matching sequins along side the card front.
