MCT ~ Throwback Thursday "Do Over"

Happy Thursday! So happy, there is only one more day to go and it is the weekend! Whoo hoo!

So today over at My Creative Time the design team we get to choose a project we created before and "Do it over"! Fun right! It doesn't have to be a creation we necessarily didn't care for but maybe to change it up just a tad.

Well I made this card for the November Blog Hop and I have to say, I really thought it turned out rather cute. I wanted to recreate a spring like scene this time around and since we had the PERFECT new stamps and dies from last weeks release, click here, I thought why not? I didn't go over the top with details. I did use Tim Holtz inks for the entire scene though. I die cut everything in white and just inked away! Nothing too fancy and simply stated.

I just ADORE this tree branch and little birdie from the set, Tweet Me and Fun Tweet Me Dies. I can see these coming in handy. Now to see what I used for the first card just click here, otherwise I will list all materials used below my "Do Over" card.

Now my new card!

Materials Used:

Stitched Window Dies & Accessories

Photobooth Stitched Die

Stitched Heart Layering Dies

Seasonal Greetings

Trio Stitched Banners

Paper ~ PTI & MME

Ink ~ VersaFine, TH and Archival

clear embossing powder

Signo pen

I just adore these 3 little heart. They can be stacked on top of each other or you could have them just floating... what ever makes you happy. I thought I would try my hand at water coloring again. Definitely need tons more practice but I love how the whole process works and how whimsical it looks. I heat embossed my sentiment, Every Little Thing and just had fun. Once it dried, I die cut my sentiment and hearts out with the same paper ~ super simple and super fast.

MCT ~ March Release Sneak Peek #2

Welcome to Day#2 of the March My Creative Time Sneak Peeks. Didn't I tell you yesterday would be amazing? Well today Emma and the ladies will do the same. Today we will be showcasing the Fun Stitched Tag Dies. There are 7 total dies in this set. Two of these dies will be like frames. Then there is another die in this set that fits PERFECTLY as a top layer for the Mini Chalkboard Tags dies.

Again I thought I would keep my card rather simple today. I chose not to use the frame that fits around my tags. I cant wait to use them though. I can see these tags being used for so many things especially some of my PL cards for my sons scrapbook! I again used foam to give the word "smile" some dimension. I did use this glitter paper to put on top but unfortunately you cant see that. Again Emma's dies cut through so many wonderful thinks besides paper!

Again I will list all materials used below my picture.

Materials Used:
Fun Stitched Tag Dies
Stitched Rectangular Frame Dies & More
Happy Thoughts
Paper ~ PTI and Recollections glitter paper
Ink ~ VersaFine
hemp

MCT ~ Tag it Tuesday

Good morning! Today is Tag It Tuesday over at My Creative Time with Emma and the design team! I thought I would share a pretty simple tag I made using the Tag Die and Tag Die Layers. I just adore these tags because they fit perfectly with a gift bag and can be dressed up for any occasion. I chose to make it a birthday themed tag. I decided not to actually layer the tag but to off set it, not sure why?? I like this look though. The little chickie is from the To a Cute Chickie stamp/die set. I LOVE the fact that we can either color it or just stamp it on patterned paper or just plain paper. I will list all the products used to make this tag below.

Materials Used:

Stitched Cartoon Cloud Dies

Paper ~ PTI, MME and vellum

Ink ~ Hero Arts

Ribbon ~ SU

Copic markers

hemp

Crystal clusters

Head on over to Emma's blog and see what the design team has created with their tags!

Don't forget next week starts the My Creative Time 41st Release! It's totally TWEET!!!

MCT ~ Made In Minutes

Good morning! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! The sun was shining here and the snow is melting ~ yay!!!! The temperature is going to be in the 40's this week and let me tell you ~ we all are going to think it is a heat wave!! Whoo hoo!

Today is Made In Minutes over at My Creative Time with Emma and the design team! This is when we create any project in literally minutes. I have a very simple card and made with a some scraps. I am venturing into some water coloring. I die cut my little shamrocks are from a practice piece of paper using the You're My Pot of Gold stamp/die set. The ribbon was a piece that I cut for a project along time ago and was too short. Then the embossed rectangular was a mishap...goodness this is sounding more like recycle project. LOL! I did fix my hemp around my ribbon after I took this picture, I was in a rush to snap some pictures before I headed to the dreaded grocery store that was packed by the way. But never worry they were giving away free samples of Starbucks Shamrock Frappuccino's. Anyway, just a real simple project that you can make in minutes if you had too!

Materials Used:

You're My Pot of Gold

I'm A Lucky Girl
