My Creative Time August Release - Sneak Day 2

 

Happy Tuesday!!!

Today is day 2 of sneaks for the My Creative Time August release. The set we are sneaking today is called Too Cute to Spook. It is a stamp and matching die set. It's so fun and perfect for Halloween.

My first card was made with the new Stitched Square dies, last months My Thoughts Are With You Stamp Set, and today's sneak set. I stamped the inside of the card with a sentiment from the Spooky Starry Night Stamp Set.

My second card was made with the smaller of the Stitched Square dies. I thought I would play with staking them. I love how this sweet little card turned out. The spider and tiny sentiment are from the set being sneaked today. Can you tell I love these little spiders?

My Creative Time August Release - Sneak Day 1

Happy Monday!!!

Today is day 1 of sneaks for the My Creative Time August release. The sets we are sneaking today are called the Stitched Square Dies and the freebie set called Fangtasic Day. The Stitched Square Dies is a set of 9 nesting dies with stitching on the inside and out. The freebie set has two stamps and a matching die.

I made my first card with 3 of the new Stitched Square dies and a coupe of the older Halloween sets. I created the orange background with two different sized bat stamps. The which was stamped on the inside of the card and I colored in the moon, then I added some Wink of Stella to make it sparkle. 

My second card is a shaker that I made with two of the new stitched square dies and the You Make My Heart Smile Stamp Set. I used StazOn ink to stamp the sentiment on the clear acetate. I really love how easy this card was to make with the square dies! I'm so happy to have them!

Shine Brightly

Happy Thursday!!!

Today is Trending Now over on the MCT blog. The trend we are looking at is embossing. I made a tag for a friends daughter, who is starting college next week. I thought she could use it as a bookmark/place holder in one of her school books.

I decided to emboss the front of my tag with one of the stitched star dies, I love the look of this technique and need to use it more. I used the 4th largest star.

Here is a video showing how to emboss with metal dies.

I sprayed it with some homemade glimmer mist. I used water and silver perfect pearls in a small spray bottle. I love the shimmery effect it creates.

Happy Wednesday!!!

Today is Inspire Me day on the MCT blog. My card for today is inspired by this card by Kristina Werner. Last week Z and I were watching YouTube videos and he saw her "Smiley" card and wanted to watch the video, so we did. He has a thing for "Smilies". So I thought I would try and make him a smiley card with MCT products, for his first day of school.

To get the circles, I used the smallest circle from the Bunch of Fun Circle Dies, cut it out of fun foam, and created my own stamp. Then I used one of the face stamps from the You Make Life Sweet Stamp & Die Set. The sentiment is from the Write On Stamp Set, I masked it off with post-it tape, so that I could use the two different color inks. Similar to what Kristina did in her video. I used the largest oval from the Scalloped Stitched Oval Dies to get the shape on the bottom.

Made with Love

Happy Tuesday!!!
Today is Tag It Tuesday on the MCT blog. I made some quick mason jar tags for a friend who bakes a lot. She love to share her treats with co-workers and friends and so I thought it would be nice for her to have some tags to attach to her treats.

I used the mason jar die and stamp from the My Thoughts Are With You Stamp Set, then I used the "made with love" stamp from the All Around Goodies Stamp Set, and the largest heart die from the Believe In Your Dreams Stamp Set.

Birthday Fishy Treat

Happy Wednesday!!!

I made this treat for a friend's dad, for his birthday. He loves to fish and so I thought this would be a fun little treat for him. 

I used the base of treat slider box and filled it with some crimped blue paper and 8 Swedish Fish. I slid it into a 2.25"x 9"pretzel bag and tied with with some twine. I made the tag with the Stitched Decorative Banner Dies and a sentiment from the You're A Great Catch Stamp Set.

Happy Birthday

Happy Tuesday!!!
Today is favorite stamp/die of the month over on the MCT blog. This month we are featuring the Springtime In Paris Stamp Set. I made a shaker card for a friend, for her birthday.

I used the  Stitched Rectangular Frame Dies & More and an oval from the Scalloped Stitched Oval Dies for the base pieces. The Effiel Tower and sentiment are from the Springtime In Paris Stamp Set the banner is from the The Sky is the Limit Stamp Set. Both the tower and banner are heat embossed. I prefer the look of white heat embossing over white ink.

Bugs & Kisses

Happy Monday!!!

Today is Made in Minute's Monday on the MCT blog. I made a quick card to send to a friend who needs a lift. 

I cut the tag out of water color paper, stamped my images with versafine ink and then sealed with with clear embossing powder. Then I used my Zig Clean Color Markers to color in my scene. Then I wrapped the tag with a bit of twine and attached it to the card. I stamped and sealed the sentiment the same way I did the flower/lady bug scene.
