MCT ~ Inspire Me Wednesday

Good morning! Today is Inspire Me Wednesday over at My Creative Time with Emma and the design team!

My inspiration for my card today is all of you who have made cards using a die for the background. I have no specific person or card because many of you have created this type of card. Since I have admired this idea. So I pulled out my Hello Die and die cut the "thanks" and adhered them to my background. I have to say I LOVE the white on white look more and more! My sentiment is from Happy Thoughts and the banner is from Ribbon End Banners. I love the little doily which is from Bunch of Stitched Doily Dies, the are a fun little accent to any card!  Of course I had to use the MORE Stitched Rectangular Dies.

Materials Used:

Ribbon End Banners

Hello Frame Dies

Bunch of Stitched Doily Dies

MORE Stitched Rectangular Dies

Happy Thoughts

MCT ~ Made In Minutes

Good Morning, I hope you all had a wonderful weekend!

Today is Made In Minutes over at My Creative Time with Emma and the design team. This is when we share a card or project that can be made in minutes.

I have to confess here, I have a HUGE bin and binder filled with scraps. At one point I tried putting them in a binder but then that was filled so I started tossing them in a bin. Insert sigh here...

Anyway I seem to die cut a lot of different dies in different papers, so when I say this card literally took minutes it truly did! Only problem is, I have to search through my paper packs to see where the paper came from! Ugh

So as I was searching thru all my scraps I came upon this felt bunny, from the To My Best Peep, and the grass , which is from the Stitched Grass Die. So I thought with Easter coming up I would make a quick little Easter card. My sentiment and the embossed eggs are from Ears To You. 

Materials Used:

Ears To You

Be Your Best Selfie

To My Best Peep

Stitched Rectangular Frame Die & More

Stitched Grass Die

Paper ~ PTI and EP

Ink ~ VersaFine and VersaMark

MCT ~ Thoughtful Thursday

Good morning! It's Thoughtful Thursday over at My Creative Team with Emma and the design team!

I wanted to share with you all a simple card using some of the products from the last release! I love the size of the stamps from Fun Notes, so I heat embossed my sentiment on a white piece of card stock then used the More Stitched Edges Dies for an edge. I die cut the Ribbon Edge Banners out in various pattern papers, added some twine and a button. Super simple and fast to create!

Materials Used:

Fun Notes

Ribbon End Banners

More Stitched Edges Dies

Paper ~ PTI and MME

Ink ~ PTI, Versa Mark and Versa Fine

All I can say today about today is this set is simply a BEAUTIFUL set! It's called Just Because. Now this set has 4 different sized flowers, some foliage and so sweet sentiments.

I wanted to keep this card rather simple with coloring, so embossed my flowers & leaves and used inks to highlight them. I saw this from an awesome blogger and I knew I wanted to try this technique.

MCT ~ Trending Now

Good morning! Today over at My Creative Time with Emma and the design team we have a segment called, Trending Now. Well we all have heard of the adult coloring books, they are the rage, they are trending. Well since we don't have actual books we thought we would color some images.

For my project today I thought I would use the MCT Favorite Stamp/Die of the Month, Prehistoric Holidays, I will have all information listed below since its on sale right now this whole month. This set comes with a ton of images you can color. I wanted to show you to think outside the box a little when looking at your stamp sets too. I have seen many different cards in card stores and on the internet/blogs using a palm tree and a winter sentiments. I thought it was so clever!

Since I wanted this card clean and simple, so after coloring my image, I die cut my burlap out using the Stitched Squares Inside & Out.  I had to use my go to dies, Stitched Rectangular Frame Dies & More for a little detail. The Winter Cheer has this sweet sentiment that I thought was perfect for my card. Can I just say I am over winter and we didn't have a ton of cold weather or snow this year... just sayin, so a palm tree is perfect for my mood right now. 

Super clean and simple card...

Materials Used:

Prehistoric Holidays

Winter Cheer

Stitched Squares inside & Out
