Happy 4th....{MCT To Die For}

Good morning everyone!
I am sharing a card today for My Creative Time's
"Too Die For Tuesday"

This is where we share ideas on how to stretch your dies.

With the 4th of July right around the corner I made a mini shaker using last releases  set~ PinWheel Centers

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

Shakers are so much fun to make and add such a different element to cards. They don't even have to be a large shaker piece, like the one I added to my card to add a fun twist to a card.

To make my card, I used the largest star die from the Pinwheel Centers set and die cut it into a Ribbon End Banner.

Since I wanted that banner piece to be larger than the rest, I stretched my die to extend the banner piece.  My star was die cut into the banner and then filled with red and white seed beads.

The red and white banner pieces were cut using the same banner set, making them the sizes smaller and then arranged onto my card mat.

The whole card mat, made from a piece of white cardstock and layered with a piece of designer cardstock die cut using the Stitched Rectangular Frame Dies & More set was then popped up onto my A2 card base.

The sentiment, from My Little Firecracker was stamped onto the front of my card and some hemp cord was added with a bow for the finishing touch.

What do you think of my card? I hope I gave you another idea on how to use those awesome MCT dies!!!

Wishing you a Happy Mother's Day......{MCT Too Die For Tuesday}

Good morning everyone!
I am sharing a card today for My Creative Time's 
"Too Die For Tuesday"

This is where we share ideas on how to stretch your dies.
Since Mother's Day is right around the corner, I got a jump start on making my MIL her card. 
She loves to color purple and here is the card I made for her....

I used lots of MCT dies for this card, and created an ombre effect using the More Stitched Edges Dies.  
I started by die cutting each of the purple cardstock colors with the Stitched Rectangular Frame Die~(size medium) Then using the wave die, I cut the each of the colors to the size I wanted, making sure each piece fit into the piece next to it....like a puzzle. I was able to have the stitching on both the tops and bottoms of each panel as well as the wave stitching thought each section. The sections were then taped on the backside and a piece of foam was added to pop the whole panel up onto the white cardstock mat.
Before popping it up and adding the foam to the backside, I used the newly released set~ Thank You Mom and die cute the flower right into the panel. Since it was now the negative section, I could add the green cardstock to the backside for the stem and I popped up the purple flower onto the front. Some fun dimension as well as a pop of color.
To complete my card, I die cut the largest of the Small Treat Labels in white cardstock and stamped my sentiment using again the new release set~ Thank You Mom
