MCT 78th New Release Sneak Day 2

Good Morning and welcome to Day 2 of sneaks for the
78th New Release
from
My Creative Time!!

I hope you enjoyed the sneaks and inspiration from yesterday!

Today we have some SUPER sets to showcase!

Introducing...

Have a Super Day

&

Super Tag Dies

And here is my inspiration.....

I have 2 projects to share today using these new sets!

Both projects use both stamp and die sets and I got alittle inky making these.

I used the Super Tag Die super hero splotch and made a stencil which I then inked up onto both the card mat and tag mat.

I used Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Mustard Seed and Salty Ocean.

The tag, after I inked up the splotches, I added the stamped sentiment from the Have a Super Day set. I finished up the tag with some Totally Red Trendy Twine and this tag is ready for a gift.

The card  which I kept along the CAS line was designed onto a piece of white cardstock that I die cut using the Stitched Rectangular Frame Die.

Again I added the stencil and inked up the splotches using my distress ink.

I stamped the sentiment from the Have a Super Day set and then die cut the super hero lady using black cardstock. Of course since she is a Super Hero I added her red cape and assembled her onto the card from.

I finished off this card my adding some die cut stars, also from the new Have a Super Day set in the matching distress colors.

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!!!

MCT 62nd New Release Sneak Day 4

Good Morning

 and 

Welcome to Day 4 of sneaks for the

62nd New Release

 from

My Creative Time!

I hope you have enjoyed all the sneaks so far! Today is the last day of sneaks before tomorrow's BIG REVEAL and blog hop!!!!

Today's sneak is the new set~

Heart Love Note Dies

and here is the card I made using it......

 I played around with making my own stencil using the new "LOVE" die. I die cut the "LOVE" several times in a piece of acetate and then using some Victorian Velvet Distress Ink, I stenciled my card stock. Love the way this turned out.

Next I stamped the "you" sentiment under the stencils using the You Make My Heart Smile set. Mounted the mat onto a kraft cardstock base and moved onto making my heart focal point.

Both hearts are also from today's new release and I die cut them out using white and kraft card stock.

Inking up a scrap piece of white cardstock with the Victorian Velvet ink, I die cut the "Love" and placed it onto the white cardstock heart.

I finished off my card by stamping the "I" and "You", again from the You Make My Heart Smile set.

MCT Tutorial Thursday.....{Making Your Own Stencils using Dies}

Good Morning everyone and welcome to a new feature on the My Creative Time blog! 
This one is Tutorial Thursday~ where the DT will share video or written tutorials using MCT stamps and dies!

Remember this card I made for the "Trending Now~Stencil it" post? Well I had some questions regarding how I made my stencil so I thought I would share a very easy written tutorial and another card using a homemade stencil.
Here is the new card I made using some of the newest releases......

Gold is HOT right now and I just LOVE the new sentiment from the You're My Hero Stamp set so I made a new stencil using 2 of the new star dies and did some heat embossing too. 
Here is how I did this...

I start out with a piece of acetate that I get at the Office Supply store. I actually go to the copy department and buy the sheets individually, they maybe cost $0.20 each...really cheap. I cut a piece down to about 5 1/2 x 6 1/2 so it can easily be placed over a standard A2 size card. Next I pulled out 2 of the new Bunch of Stitched Stars dies and arranged them onto my acetate. Making no specific pattern I die cut the stars and repeat until I get the pattern I want.

Here you can see my acetate laying on top of my card mat. Since the mat is the smallest of the Stitched Rectangular Frame Dies, you can see that the stencil lays over the actual cardstock. That is fine, I can save this stencil and use it over and over again :) Next I taped the stencil down over my cardstock to begin the inking and embossing part. Using my Versamark ink I tapped it on top of the stencil making sure to really cover the entire open stencil part. Since the ink will rub of the stencil I didnt worry about ruining that...I just wanted the best coverage for my embossing. Next I pulled the stencil off and covered the cardstock with some gold embossing powder. Heated it up and I have a beautiful embossed background using MCT dies!

Next for the sentiment, I used the circle cut out from the Surprise Pop-Out Card Die to stamp my sentiment onto. Now for this part I have had some questions about this too...adding thread to cards. Here is what the backside of my thread nest looks like. Nothing pretty but flip it over and it adds so much added details to a card :)
