MCT ~ Trending Now

Good morning! Today is Trending Now over at My Creative Time with Emma and the design team! Today we are doing an "emboss it" segment! You can emboss many ways but today I chose to dry and heat emboss. On both of my cards I used the Circle Stitching Pattern Dies for my background ( dry emboss part). I just adore this die because it adds a little detail to any project. I then heat embossed the flowers and sentiment by using the Hey There Little Lady stamp set. Now that stamp set has tons of sentiments and images. Again both cards I chose to use the Stitched 3x4 Journal Die but leaving one plain and the other my attempt at water colors... I need to practice this technique! Adding some sequins and of course ribbon ~ you all know me and my ribbon obsession! 
Super simple and fast cards to just say Thanks, a small gesture of gratitude can go along way!
Materials Used:
Paper ~ PTI
Ribbon ~ PTI
Ink ~ VersaMark
white embossing powder
sequins
water color

Thanks for stopping by, make sure you head on over to Emma's blog to see what all those talented ladies have created! 
Oh don't forget starting next week...

MCT ~ Scrapping the Little Things


Good morning! I hope you all had a fabulous weekend! Today Emma over at My Creative Time and the design team are all about catching up with our scrapbooks ~ Its Scrapping the Little Things! Yep, this is when we try our hardest to capture those special memories.
For my project today, I snapped these photos of my father-in-law and mom on a way to a baseball tournament( these were taken on 2 separate days). Now my mom is a veteran of Starbucks but my FIL, not so much! It was actually his first trip there! So I had to takes some pictures.
I couldn't help use the We're Better Together coffee cup! I mean is seriously so perfect and I just adore the little hearts in this set. My sentiment is from the set, All You Need Is Coffee! I used the Stitched 4 x 6 Journal Die for my actual card. It fits perfectly in the PL sleeves. The word "family" and my coffee splatters are from the  set, Family is Everything. I know someone used the splatters from this set for the coffee stains but I honestly cant remember. I would LOVE to give them the credit but whomever did this ~ thanks for the idea! The ampersand is from the Social Media Dies.


Materials Used:
Family is Everything ~ this set has since been revised
Paper ~ PTI and Recollections
Ink ~ Tim Holtz, VersaFine and VersaMark
twine
clear embossing powder

MCT ~ Stamp of the Month

Good morning! Since it's the beginning of the August, it's that time again for another Favorite Stamp of the Month with Emma and the My Creative Time design team. This time around its the beautiful Springtime in Paris. This set is seriously GORGEOUS!!! The fonts, the sentiments, the images, some words in French and oh my the beautiful Eiffel Tower die.
I thought I would keep my card super simple. I used some Tim Holtz inks, added a little water, some sequins for my background. I wanted to have the Eiffel Tower stand out along with the word "Merci". I heat embossed the tower and the sentiment. I did use kid foam to give the tower a little dimension. Just s super simple Thank You for someone special!
