Throwback Thursday with My Creative Time ~ "CRICUTLESS" Challenge

Good morning! It is time for another My Creative Time Throwback Thursday Challenge. This week Emma has asked the design team and you to go "Old School"!  So that means NO CRICUTS or CAMEOS! Well I have stated many times before I LOVE to create with dies! Emma's are truly so fun to work with! You can use anything but the machines!

So for my card I kept it very plain and simple. I used Emma's Stitched {only} Circle to emboss my 5 circles. Then I used the little stitched circle from the Build A Banner Kit to cut out the centers of my circles. I adhered a piece of paper on the inside of my card. I used the Anyday Bingo & Crossword stamp set to make the word "HAPPY". I then masked of the word happy from one of my ALL time favorite set, Polka Dot "Surprise" , to just use the word "Birthday". Again I just LOVE the size of these stamps! I tied a bow around the bottom.



Very simple and quick card!

Material Used:
My Creative Time ~ Polka Dot Surprise ~ word "Birthday"
My Creative Time ~ Anyday Bingo & Crossword ~ Letters for the word "HAPPY"
My Creative Time ~ Stitched {only} Circle
My Creative Time ~ Build A Banner Kit ~ little cut out circles
Paper ~ Paper Trey Ink
Ribbon ~ Michael's
Ink Stazon
So head on over to My Creative Time for ALL the details and see what the other AMAZING designers have created! I am sure you won't be disappointed!
