Today Emma and the My Creative Time design team are featuring the new die set, Pretty Bold Numbers. These numbers are so fun to create with since they have such a COOL font... maybe a better way to phase it a "hip" font!

So I wanted to keep my card today rather simple, black on black with punches of color. Of course a little polka dot paper doesn't hurt either...right? So I randomly placed the numbers except the 7 and 2 dies. I heat embossed the sentiment which is from My Little Firecracker. The rectangle is from the Stitched Rectangular Frame Dies & More.

Super simple right?

Your next stop is the talented Lucia.

Materials Used:

Pretty Bold Numbers

My Little Firecracker

Stitched Rectangular Frame Dies & More

For my card today, I am back with another red, white and blue star card. If you don't know by now these are my son's baseball colors for one of the teams he plays on. Since one of his teammates had a birthday, I couldn't help but use these colors again. My stars, which some were already cut out from a previous projects, are from Bunch of Stitched Stars and 3 Star Stitched Dies. The sentiment and the word die, "happy" are from Happy Everything! I have to say I ADORE this set because it covers so many occasions and is super fast and easy to whip a card. I used the new More Stitched Edges Dies.

Welcome to the My Creative Time 52nd Edition Blog Hop with Emma and the design team. You should have arrived from the super talented Katie's Blog but if not you can start over at Emma's blog or I will have a complete blog hop list posted below.

Today I am featuring the new Pretty Bold Letter set. I think this set is a must have set. Now I know this card is a little busy but I couldn't resist using this paper with the letters/word I wanted to spell out using the new letters. I did layer my letters to give them some dimension, then slightly over lapped them. The sentiment "friend" is actually from the You're My Lucky Charm set. I just masked off the rest of the sentiment. My adorable little cow is from Hello Baby, slightly colored it with some Copic markers. The squares are from the Stitched Squares Inside & Out set. Then I just had to make a lasso out of twine around my card...I just chuckle when I look at this card!

MCT 52nd Edition Sneak Peek Day #4

Today is the last day of the 52nd Sneak Peeks over at My Creative Time with Emma and the design team. Well if you thought the last 3 days were awesome wait until today! Today we will be featuring the new die set, More Stitched Edges. This new set comes with 5 different edges that can add a fun new element to any creation.

Since I wanted to use the new mushrooms from the Home Sweet Home stamp set, I thought using the scalloped edge die would emulate the bottom of the mushrooms. Just leaving a white space in between just to brighten the card a little more. I decided to heat emboss my mushrooms and sentiment, then added little hearts to the mushrooms from the Carved Heart set. LOVE how these fit perfectly!

Super simple and fun!

I wanted to keep my card bright and cheerful today! My BFF and I are totally phone girls. Now just imagine us cleaning, cooking and doing laundry with headsets on...We sort of look like we are fast food employees... hey at least we are multitasking right?

I decided to shadow my letters to give them a little dimension. My phones are from the set, Best Bots Forever, go figure the name of this set and my BFF right??

Added a little twine and a bright button. Oh my frame is from the set, Stitched Postage Frame Dies.

MCT 52nd Edition Sneak Peek #1

Good morning! Welcome to Day 1 of Sneak Peeks over at My Creative Time's 52nd Edition Release with Emma and the design team! Today we are sneaking the You're My Lucky Charm stamp and die set and the die In Stitches. Now both of the products are super fun to create with!

I though I would make a fun little treat for today for the next festive holiday, St. Patrick's Day! My sentiment, lips and clovers are from the You're My Lucky Charm set. I did heat emboss my lips in attempt to make them appear to have lipstick on them. Hard to see in the picture though. But who wouldn't want to use that sentiment with those lips... right? I used the In Stitches Die to outline my sentiment a little. My tag is from the set, Cute Tag Sentiments. Super simply but fun to toss in my husband and son's lunches!

In Stitches

MCT ~ Manly Monday

Good morning! I sure hope you all had a wonderful weekend!

Today is Manly Monday over at My Creative Time with Emma and the design team. This is when we make "manly" cards. Well I sure hope this card counts even though it is for a 10 year old "little" man! Ha!

My son has a sweet little baseball friend who is turning 10 very soon. I decided to use the red, white and blue colors, along with stars, since their uniforms/team is all about!

I couldn't help but to use the new Party Hat Dies and Let's Party Word Dies for my card today. I LOVE the little hat die from this set, its seriously so darn cute! My stars are from the 4 x 4 Journal Die + More set. If you haven't thought about the MORE Stitched Rectangular Dies, you might want too because they add that perfect detail to any project. My #10 is from Number Fun Dies + Add Ons.

Super fun and fast card for that special little man friend!
