MCT ~ Favorite Stamp/Die of the Month

Good morning! I hope you all had a fun and safe weekend! We were very fortunate that Jonas only left us with 6 inches of snow...unlike many relatives of mine, who really had to dig themselves out from under more snow than us. Thanks Jonas ~ ha!

Today over at My Creative Time,

Today we are featuring another "My FAVORITE stamp OR die of the Month! This month we are featuring one of my FAVE dies "Baby Word Die!". If this set of dies have been on your wish list, you can pick this set up here at a discount price: http://shop.my-creative-time.com/Baby-Word-Die-MCT-D108.htm?categoryId=-1

This set will be on sale for the entire month of January! The sale will end on January 31, 2016 @ 12:00am PST!

I thought the Baby Word Die would make a sweet baby boy card but it can also be used for PL cards, traditional scrapbooking and so many other projects. I used fun foam to make the baby word die pop a little and framed it with the small rectangle dies from MORE Stitched Rectangular dies. My "sweet" sentiment is from Chocolate Greetings stamp set. I used the Stitched Squares Inside and Out Dies to make blocks, I mean what little boy doesn't love blocks. My little feet are from the Hello Baby set to add a little detail. I did use the Tag Gift Pocket Die, it's perfect for a gift card, on the inside but forgot to take pictures.

Materials Used:

MORE Stitched Rectangular Dies

Stitched Squares Inside & Out

Tag Gift Pocket Die

Paper ~ PTI and Carta Bella

Ribbon and Button ~ PTI

Ink ~ VersaMark, VersaFine and SU

white embossing powder

Twine

MCT 51st Edition Release Blog Hop

Welcome to the My Creative Time 51st Edition Release Blog Hop! You should have arrived from the very talented Katie. If not you can head over to Emma's blog and start from the beginning, I will also have a complete blog hop listed below.

This release was beyond fun to work with and the best part is Emma did all the work for us. I think this release is centered around how quickly we can create a card, tag or any project.

Today I wanted to share with you 2 simple cards I made using the Be Awesome stamp and die set. What I adore about this set is that there are 5 dies with 4 of them being accessories. For instance a paper clip, tape pushpin or these fun holes. I used all 4 of them this week and trust me, they can add that perfect element to your project! My little flower doodle thing is from the new set, Cute Tag Sentiments.

Super simple projects but hopefully will brighten someone's day!

Your next stop should be the super talented Lucia!

They can work with so many other products as well as the Party Hat Dies. I hope to show you some in the upcoming weeks.

Today I couldn't resist making a fun little hat for a little girl who is turning one very soon! Of course pink is perfect for a little girl but add some boa and it's a party for sure!!! I have to say I love how big the word dies are from the set, Let's Party Word Dies, I hope you can see how big they actually are since I used the Stitched Postage Frame Dies, you all know it's my go to die at the moment.

MCT ~ Inspire Me Wednesday

Good morning! Happy Wednesday! I hope you all are enjoying your week so far!

Today over at My Creative Time with Emma and the design team is Inspire Me Wednesday! I am always inspired by you all! I am try to keep my projects this year on the CAS side. I LOVE the look and I tend to add a lot to my cards. I am not saying I am totally going CAS because we all know me ~ I add everything plus the kitchen sink if I could!

So I was inspired by this card here created by this super talented lady named Vickie. I just love the look and simplicity of her card. So I looked thru all the amazing products I have from My Creative Time, I have a lot, so I knew this would be rather simple to try and recreate!

My stems are from the Build A Pretty Flower stamp set. I adore this set and need to use it more often. My hearts are from Carved Heart and my sentiment is from Teeny Tag Greetings. This set is revised and I have to say I love the fun fonts on this set. Of course I couldn't resist using the Stitched Postage Frame Dies and MORE Stitched Rectangular Dies, they are must have sets.

Super simple and Thank You Vicki for your inspiration!

MCT ~ Trending Now

Good morning! Hello 2016! I hope you all had a wonderful holiday. We had a wonderful time spending time together and with family.

Today is Trending Now over at My Creative Time with Emma and the design team. We were asked to use the 2016 Pantone Spring colors for our creations.

I wanted to keep my card pretty simple, light and crisp, nothing overly difficult. I pulled out the die set, Stitched Pretty Flowers & Leaves Dies. I manipulated the leaves a tad and decided not to ink the edges because I wanted to keep this card crisp looking. My sentiment is from the new set Mini Greeting Dies, I can see me using these a lot more in the future. My obsession with the MORE Stitched Rectangular Dies and Stitched Postage Frame Dies continues, if you haven't ordered these sets you need too! These are a great sets! Added some twine, a button and offset on my card base.

Super simple and fast to create!
