XOXO

Good Morning! Here is my card for the new challenge up over at the 7 Kids Challenge Blog. I created the base of this card using dies from By DIEzynes - Half Oval/ Pierced Ovals/Side Step Card. The Half Oval Die was positioned a little bit more to the left, it leaves me space to the right for embellishments.

I'm using the image Savannah Has a Crush from Whimsy Stamps. She is colored with my Copics. The oval frame is the Pierced Ovals and the designer paper is Simple Stories - Vintage Bliss.

I used the Side Step Card rectangle insert dies to do the inside of the card. From the stamp set "XOXO" is one of the sentiments included in the set. I finished the card with some yellow twine and flowers to match the color scheme.

Thanks for taking the time to stop by today. Come join us over at the 7 Kids Challenge Blog!

MCT 40th Edition Release Blog Hop

Hello and WELCOME to the MCT 40th Edition Release Blog Hop! If you are going in the hop order, you should be coming from Veronica's Blog. Since I missed out on Day 3 of the Sneak Peaks, my project is showcasing the "Hello Frame Dies".

"Hello Frame Dies"

Supplies:

MCT - Hello Frame Dies

MCT - Social Media Dies

MCT - Way To Go Stamp Set

MCT - Stitched 3x4 Journal Die

Echo Park - We Are Family 6x6 Paper Pad

QuicKutz Metal Sheets

Doodlebug - Beetle Black Pearls

I created a masculine card. The designer paper had this bicycle image that went perfect with the MCT Way To Go Stamp Set die. The MCT Hello Frame Dies coordinates with the MCT Stitched 3x4 Journal Die. The bicycle is partially cut and I like how it just peeks out in the background. I first cut the frame in black cs, then again with some metal sheets that I had. I snipped off the "Hello" in the metal sheet and layered it over the original word. Just to throw it in, I added the "hashtag" from the MCT Social Media Dies, again cut from the metal sheet. Lastly, I added some black pearls on the bottom corner.

I hope you've enjoyed the Blog Hop so far, you have one more stop to make and that's Vicky's Blog.  I had so much fun creating with the New Release and hope that you all have been inspired with all the fabulous creations from the Design Team.

MCT Sneak Peeks Day 4

Hello Thursday! I missed out on yesterday's sneaks but i'm back with Sneak Peek Day 4 of the My Creative Time 40th Edition Release! Wasn't that "Hello Frame Die" fabulous?! Okay here's the last of the Sneak Peaks and we saved the best for last, well I think.

Today we are showcasing two sets: "Mini Chalkboard Tags" and "Milk Carton Die". 

Supplies:

MCT - Mini Chalkboard Tags

MCT - Milk Carton Die

MCT - To A Cute Little Chickie

MCT - Fun Stitched Edges Dies

MCT - Fun Sized Scallop Stitched Bow Die

MCT - Stitched Grass Die

DCWV Sunday Afternoon

White CS

Sequins

Copic Markers

Chickie: Y13/Y17/Y21

Ummm, hello? Isn't this freakin cute! I cut the "Milk Carton Die" using white cs and I layered designer paper all around. I used the "Fun Stitched Edges Dies" on the top of the paper and the "Stitched Grass Die" layered around the box. Not only is it a treat box, I did a little shaker in the front using the "To A Cute Little Chickie" stamp and coordinating die set. You'll notice that most of my projects all coordinate because I am using pretty much the same designer paper collection. 

Stayed with the Easter theme and used the sentiment "Happy Easter" from "Mini Chalkboard Tags" with coordinating die. For the closure at the top, I used the "Fun Size Scallop Stitched Bow Die" and adhered it to a small clothespin.

So there is my last project for the Sneak Peeks but I still have one more to share tomorrow! Thanks for stopping by!

MCT Sneak Peeks Day 2

Happy Tuesday! I'm back with Sneak Peek Day 2 of the My Creative Time 40th Edition Release! If you liked the Chickie set, then you'll love this, purr-fect for you cat lovers!

Today we are showcasing this set: "You Had Me At Meow!".

MCT - Stitched Party Dies

DCWV The Pets Stack

Black CS

Copic Markers

Kitten: B00/B0000/C1/R81

Bow: R27/R39

I've been meaning to use this Pet Stack from DCWV designer paper and it goes fabulous with this stamp set, also it has coordinating dies. The kitten is colored with my Copic Markers and highlighted with my Wink of Stella Clear Pen. The heart dies are from MCT - Stitched Scallop Heart Dies. For the middle inner heart, I stamped the little fish bone along the edge. The set also comes with a bow image and coordinating die, which I adhered to her cute little tail. There is a sentiment "You had me at Meow" in the set, but I masked off "meow" and stamped the other "MEOW" image in it's place. Hahaha does that make sense?

Hope you liked my card and that you are enjoying all the other Designers' creations. As always, thanks for stopping by!

Happy Birthday

 

Happy Sunday! Today a new challenge is up at the I Am Roses Challenge Blog. "Anything Goes" is the theme. Everybody needs a Birthday Card in their card stash right? I created this Shabby card using soft pink, cream and green colors. 

The layered designer papers are distressed around the edges. I love to add cheese cloth for a more delicate and whimsy feel. The "happy" and "birthday" is from Mama Elephant - Happy Everything and coordinating dies. The base of the card is kraft cs and I added some faux stitching with a white gel pen.

I used the newly released R43's (that gorgeous pink flower), R40's Paper Flower, G2's Curly Roses, R4's 1/2" flowers and R2's 1/4" roses. Lots of flower styles but they all coordinate well with one another.

Good Fortune

Good Morning! There's a new challenge up over at the 7 Kids Challenge Blog (Anything Goes with an Optional Twist "Sweet Treats).  So this is what I created, a pillow box treat bag using Mama Elephant Pandemonium and Pandemonium Creative Cuts Dies. An Asian theme with a Valentine's twist.

It's not visible in the photo, but I did lightly shade the panda with my Copic Markers and highlighted the chopsticks with Wink of Stella Clear Pen. The nested circles are from By DIEzyne Dies Stitched Circles Dies. The chopsticks, takeout container and the sentiment "good fortune will be with you" are from the set Lawn Fawn Good Fortune and Good Fortune Custom Dies.

The pillow box is from the dollar bin at Target, last year's Valentine's goodies =) I finished it with a red satin bow.

Avocado Arts - A Latte Love

It's Monday! Wishing everyone's week starts off beautifully! I was in the mood to create more Valentine's/Lovey dovey themed projects =)

I made two cards and a cute little goodie bag using the A Latte Love stamp set...again =)

Project 1: Be Mine

Something's missing here...it's the second "e" on Bee. I had used the Bees on my previous projects, so I masked off the "e" and had the sentiment read "Be Mine". I used kraft cs for the base of the card, die cut a heart and used potty people wood veneers. Simple.

Project 2: Stuck on You

For this goodie bag, I used the sentiment "Stuck on You" and the bandaid images. I stamped the bandaid onto the cork clothespin and also on pattern paper, that I then fussy cut out. I used smaller versions of the potty people wood veneers and several heart die cuts . 

Project 3: Miss You...a latte

For my last project, I made an A2 card. The sentiment "Miss You...a latte" and the lattes are from the stamp set. The images are lightly colored with my Copic Markers. I masked off the steam image from the lattes. Again I used potty people wood veneers and coordinating pattern paper. How awesome that they were a perfect fit to lay over the images!

I hope you enjoyed all three projects. I really love how all of these coordinate. I really got a lot out of this stamp set and I know that you will too.

Thanks for stopping by! Enjoy your week!

I'll follow you anytime

Hi everyone, I'm here to kick off the weekend. If you haven't already, there's still time to enter our current challenge over on our 7 Kids Challenge Blog. Today I'm featuring the cute stamp from Lawn Fawn - Hedgehugs. They are colored with my Copic Markers, soo many browns for that little cutie..hahaha. I used a sentiment from an older set, Lawn Fawn - #awesome. I placed it on a fishtail banner, laid a heart die cut at the front and covered it with the Wink of Stella Clear Pen. All this layered on top of a cloud, Mama Elephant - Landscape Trio die.

A simple and cute Valentine's Day card. Hope you enjoyed my card as always.

Hula Anya "Aloha"

Happy February! I created this cute treat bag during a weekend of cropping with my regular craft gals. I really wanted to color Hula Anya from The Greeting Farm. She is colored with my Copic Markers and accented with Crystal Stickles on her flowers and bikini top.

I love her tan skin, ugh I miss Hawaii! I didn't have the correct color of green cs on hand so I decided to create my own. I sprayed two different colors of Lindy's Stamp Gang Sprays and it created an ombre effect with glorious shimmer. I used the My Favorite Things Die-namics in Hibiscus. Love this leaf shape! I had the perfect flower stamp & die that matched the plumerias on her head, MFT Tropical Sensations Stamp & Die-namics.

She looks so cute doing her Hula dance! I stamped "Aloha" on a fishtail banner and adorned some I Am Roses Flowers.

It was fun to create something for no reason and to actually use items in your stash. Thanks for stopping by and have a fabulous February!
