MCT ~ Inspire Me Wednesday

Good morning! Today is Inspire Me Wednesday over at My Creative Time with Emma and the design team! My card today was inspired my fellow design team sister and friend, Ruthie! She made a card during the last release, click here to see her amazing card, that I just love the idea and color scheme. 
I loved how she the new sets, You Are Spot On and Fun Polka Dots. I did change the shape by using the MORE Stitched Rectangular Dies and used a navy ink instead of black and stamped my background, partially. My star is from the 3 Star Stitched Dies ,which is pop dotted to give a little dimension!
I honestly loved Ruthie's card ~ thanks for the inspiration!!

MCT ~ What A Treat Wednesday

Good morning! It's What A Treat Wednesday over at My Creative Time with Emma and the design team! I still love doing this segment for many reasons, whether it is for an occasion, to stick in a lunch or just to make someone smile and feel special.
For my project today, I thought I would whip up a quick and easy idea for the 4th of July! These literally took minutes to create and can be mass produced quite easily. I couldn't resist using the new Sentiment Label Dies. I love how they layer and can easily be made into a simple tag. My sentiment is from My Little Firecracker set, which this set has been revised and it now comes with a cute firecracker die and some stars! I heat embossed my sentiments with clear and white embossing powder. The stars are from the 3 Star Stitched Dies.
Something totally simple but can make a fun little treat for any picnic of party celebrating the 4th of July.

Materials Used:
Sentiment Label Dies
My Little Firecracker
3 Star Stitched Dies
Paper ~ PTI and Taylored Expressions
Ink ~ SU, Hero Arts and VersaMark
clear and white embossing powder
twine

Now you could keep it a straight edge or you could use either the Fun Stitched Edges (I used one from this set) or the More Stitched Edges Dies. I stamped my doily, Bunch of Stitched Doily Dies, with circles ( I can't get enough of this stamp set) from You Are Spot On. Heat Embossed my sentiment added a button and twine. Guess what? This little card fits in the 3x3 Fancy Envelope Die or the Scallop Stitched Envelope Die! Yep! Awesome right?

MCT ~ 56th Edition Sneak Peek Day 3

 
Good morning! Today kicks off day 3 of the My Creative Time 56th Edition with Emma and the design team!

Today we have a fun new dies set called, Sentiment Label Dies. This set comes with four different sizes of dies with double stitching. I thought I would used this set and the You are a Blessing set that was featured yesterday.

Again I wanted to show you how that set can be used differently. I created my background by using the More Stitched Edges dies and inking some clouds. My cute little airplane if from Fun Paper Airplane. The loopy heart coming from my airplane is from Fun Tweet Me Dies and the button heart is from Stitched Button Dies.

Again another super simple card to recreate or mass produce.

MCT ~ 56th Edition Sneak Peek Day 2

Welcome to Day 2 of the 56th Edition Sneak Peeks over at My Creative Time with Emma and the design team!
Well if you thought yesterday was fun wait until today! We are featuring 2 new sets today! The first set, You Are A Blessing, I needed this stamp set a few years back for all those wonderful visiting nurses and doctors who helped my family while we were taking care of my sweet and dearly missed daddy! We had such an awesome team of visiting nurses and aids who were here daily. The second set today we are featuring is called, Fun Polka Dots and this happens to be our "freebie" to the first 100 shoppers who order this Friday. Now this set has two stamps in them, a full circle stamp and a distressed circle stamp.
For my card today I wanted to use the full circles from the Fun Polka Dot set. I then used white ink and inked up some circles from the You Are Spot On set, featured yesterday! I wanted to show you how you can mix both of these sets together.
Since I thankfully do not need a caretaker card at the moment, I wanted to show you how you can use this set in another way. This set has many sayings, word and sentiments that can easily be stamped to make this and many other sentiments!

Today we are featuring the new stamp set, You Are spot On! This set is packed with amazing circle images, in various sizes, solid and outline of a circle, some fun new sentiments and of course dies!
For my project today, I wanted to come full circle here by not only using this awesome new sentiment and the solid circles but play along by making it a fun circle shape!

Don't forget to use the code FLASH at checkout to get 20% off of your entire "in-stock" only purchase!

Today Emma and the design team are featuring the new die set, Stitched Large Balloon Dies. If you loved the Stitched Circle Balloon Dies from last months release you are going to ADORE these too! They have an oval shape to them.
I wanted to show you that these balloon dies can be used for a tag for a gift bag! All I did was folded a piece of white paper, placed the die just above the crease and die cut. Then used a decorative piece of paper and adhered it to the top. You flip the balloon die open and write a little message. Super simple right? To decorate my plain Kraft bag, I used the new set, Make A Wish, and heat embossed it. Just a simple idea that can be made in minutes to add that special touch to someone special in your life!

Your next stop should be the super talented Liz!
