Sending you LOTS OF LOVE!...{Inspiration Wednesday w/MCT}

Good Morning and Happy Hump day everyone!

This is my first official post of 2015  for My Creative Time! (Whooo Hooo!)

and I get to start the new year with  

 Inspiration Wednesday.

If you are new to my blog or to what Inspiration Wednesday is all about, it is

where the DT makes a project of our choice based on an inspiration subject.

This is my inspiration.... a piece of designer paper from a new paper pad I picked up at Michaels the other day. 

It is from My Minds Eye~ Lost and Found Heirloom collection. A beautiful mix of papers perfect for Valentine's Day.

From this piece of designer paper, I was inspired to create this card.....
I hope you like it :)

For this card, I used several pattern papers from the paper pad and die cut the hearts using the medium Stitched Sweetheart. Once I had all 6 hearts cut out, I went about putting my card together. I started with a white cardstock base, added a piece of kraft cardstock and then a layer of pattern paper die cut using the largest of the Stitched Rectangular Frame Dies. I then placed some adhesive onto the back of the hearts and arranged them onto the card front in the pattern and spacing I wanted. I pulled out my sewing machine to add some added details to my card by running a simple stitch line through the center of each column of hearts. 

To finish my card off, I stamped my sentiment into the open space using the stamp set~ Puffy Hearts Just For You.

The sweet card was very easy to put together and would look awesome using different papers as well :)

My Creative Time Supplies Used:

Puffy Hearts Just For You

Stitched Sweetheart & XOXO Dies

Stitched Rectangular Frame Dies & More

Other Supplies Used:

Kraft, White cardstock

Sewing machine

MME~ Lost & Found Heirloom

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!

Hugs and Kisses w/Trendy Twine & a Winner!

Good Morning everyone! 
This is my first official project of 2015!
I am up on the Trendy Twine blog today with a card and a treat box featuring this month's spotlight color of twine~ Valentine Cherry Cupcake
Lets take a look :)

I started this project by making the card~ a very simple design using some My Creative Time stamps and dies (all linked below), some new designer paper I picked up at Michaels and of course some Valentine Cherry Cupcake Trendy Twine.

Moving on to my treat box...isn't is cute??? LOL!

I used the Biggie Candy Chutes from the Trendy Twine store and filled it with...yup Kisses :) I wanted it to match the card, so I wrapped the box with some scrap designer paper, some more Valentine Cherry Cupcake Trendy Twine and I used the ampersand die cut as a tag to hang from the twine.

Stitched Rectangular Frame Dies & More
