MCT 54th New Release Sneak Day 2

Good Morning and welcome to Day 2 of sneaks for the

54th New Release 

from

My Creative Time!

Today's new stamp/die set is:

YOU ARE MY SUNSHINE

and will surely be another favorite!! Here is the card I made using this set....

For my card today I pulled out my zig watercolor markers and played around a little to make this CAS design. 
I am loving the new dies and sentiment with this set and really wanted to showcasing them so I die cut the new cloud and sun using watercolor paper and added some color to them.
Next I added some watercolor to my card mat to then pop up my die cuts.
The sentiment was stamped onto my mat, I added 2 tiny heart die cuts (also part of this set) and some random sequins.

Things are finally getting back to normal here and I promise to be better about checking in with all of your blogs really soon!!!
Now onto my card.....

  I got a request from my MIL to make some thank you cards for her. Well since I love to make CAS cards and wanted to make at least 20 for her, I picked a design that I knew she would like but that I could also mass produce in very little time.
Since her favorite color is purple I used that for my stamped focal point. The square background is from the original Coffee Break stamp set and I stamped it onto the center of my card mat~along with all 19 others~ using my Misti. 
Next I positioned the "thanks" sentiment where I wanted it to lay and stamped all 20 cards again using my Misti.
I thought I was done with my card but then decided that I wanted to add something alittle more. Not sure about having enough enamel dots on hand I grabbed the Stitched Pretty Flower set and the little flower die. It added just the extra pop of color I was looking for.

MCT 53rd New Release Sneak Day 2

Good Morning and welcome to day 2 of the 53rd New Release from

My Creative Time!

What did you think of yesterday's sneaks?? Pretty adorable right!!!
Well for Day 2 the DT has another AWESOME set to sneak!

Today's sneaks include the new set..

Just Because

For my card I used one of the new flower stamps and dies and made a CAS card with a hint of color :)

I started my card my stamping the flower in a random pattern on a piece of heavy 110 lb white card stock. I stamped it again on a scrap piece of cardstock and die cut it out using the matching die. 

Using my copic markers, I colored the stem of the flower and then the center leaving the rest white. For some added dimension for the flower, I did color the leaves in with my Wink of Stella and in person it is so pretty and sparkly.

Next I die cut the circle and stamped the sentiment from the same Just Because set. The flower was then popped up onto the circle and the circle popped up onto the card front.

Seeing that the card was alittle to plain for my liking, I stamped 2 more leaves from the set, colored them with my copics and then randomly placed them on the card base.

Some natural hemp twine wrapped 2 times around the card base and tied into a bow completed my card.

Today we are showcasing the FREEBIE for this release~

 Hi Sweetie 

as well as a new background stamps

Stripey Background!

I really LOVE doing CAS cards so for this one I used the new background stamp in a different way then I have before. I took the tag from the Holiday Tags set and used it to make a template so I could stamp only the shape of the tag using the background stamp. Then I used the FREEBIE stamp for the sentiment as well as the candy. I cut the candy  out using the matching die that also comes with the set Hi Sweetie. The candy was then popped up onto the front of my card, I added some random enamel dots and tied a big Trendy Twine Candy Candy bow.

Thoughtful Thursday w/My Creative Time

Good Morning everyone!
Today is Thoughtful Thursday over on the My Creative Time blog 
a newer segment where the DT makes a  card or project centered around the... thinking of you, thank you, sympathy, etc theme :)

For my card I was inspired by Day 1 of the new Online Card Class~ Holiday Cards and Laurie Willison's gorgeous CAS card. 
I started my card by using a piece of white cardstock  and taping off a diagonal section towards the top of the card. Then using some Cotton Candy ink, I tried to ink in a dark to light manner...starting at the top and working towards the taped off section.
Once the inking was to my liking, I pulled off the tape and made some random score marks...just for some extra detail.
Using the Friendships are Forever stamp/die set, I stamped my sentiment and then placed the die cut "friend" using the score lines as my guide.
Some matching enamel dots finish my card off for a very quick and CAS friendship card.

So what do you think????? Want to see more projects?

Manly Monday w/My Creative Time

Good Morning everyone and welcome to 

My Creative Time's Manly Monday!

Many people find making manly cards hard...including myself!! As I was going through my "Stash" of MCT stamps and dies, I came across the What's Growing On? set that I had yet to play with. How perfect for MOVEMBER too...LOL! So for my card I went on the CAS side to make an easily reproducible manly card. I started with my all time favorite die~ Stitched Rectangular Frame Die & More for my card mat. Next I stamped the sentiment from the What's Growing On? set as well as die cut one of the stashes from that set also. I popped the stash up with some foam dots and then to finish off the front of my card I wrapped some Black Licorice Trendy Twine around the top for a simple bow.

Because of that fun sentiment on the front...I had to complete my card by stamping a cute response to it inside. Again using the same set~ What's Growing On?  I stamped my sentiment inside on another Stitched Rectangular Frame Die cut.

So what do you think????? A fun manly card using an AWESOME stamp/die set from MCT!

If you don't already own this one you MUST put it on your wishlist!!!

MCT 46th New Release Sneak Day 3~ Freshly Made Sketches #19

Morning everyone and welcome to Day  3 of sneaks for the 

My Creative Time 46th New Release!!

It has been such a GREAT few days of sneaks so far and we still have a few more ADORABLE sets to sneak!

Today the DT is showcasing the new stamp and die set~

Fall Friends

another totally ADORABLE set!

For my card today, I played along with the Freshly Made Sketches 200th Sketch challenge which our AWESOME Miss Emma is sponsoring. I used the below sketch and designed my card around the sentiment "Nuts about You" from the new Fall Friends stamp and die set. I started my CAS card off by stamping the Grainy Wood Background stamp onto some kraft cardstock. Next I stamped my sentiment from the Fall Friends stamp set and die cut the "U" using the Uppercase Fun Dies. I used the "U" as a "somewhat fork" in a tree and added some of the fun new acorn and leaves, again from the Fall Friends stamp and die set. Colored with my copics and popped up with some foam dots for added dimension finished off my card.

Here is the sketch that the Freshly Made Sketches DT will be using for this challenge! If you have some extra time, we would LOVE it if you joined in and played along!!! All the details can be found over on their blog HERE starting at 8:00am EST

Then using the new dies, I added my splash of color with the teal cardstock. Everything was popped up with some fun foam for added dimension, I added a simple hemp bow to the coffee cup and some glossy accents to the donuts.

MCT Favorite Stamp/Die of the Month.....{Stitched Message Bubble Die}

Good Morning and Happy Tuesday everyone!!
It is a brand new month which means time for another 
My Creative Time Favorite Stamp/Die of the Month!!
This month Emma has chosen the the super fun 

Stitched Message Bubble Dies and all month long you will be able to grab this die set on sale over at the MCT store HERE
This set will be on sale for the entire month of May! The sale will end on May 31, 2015 @ 12:00am PST!  

For my inspiration card, I wanted to use this die set to make a window card....not really the "official name" of it..LOL but the idea was to use the die to make a window that shows the inside of the card through it. 
Here is how I made my card....
I started with an A2 card base and using the Stitched Rectangular Frame die, cut another piece of white cardstock for the card mat. Using the "hi" die from the Stitched Message Bubble Dies I die cut through both the card mat and card base to make a window. Next I added a piece of acetate in between the two piece to be able to attach my die cut that I cut using black cardstock from my stash. 
Next using the adorable lady bug from the Build a Pretty Flower set, I stamped it under the bubble so it looks like she is saying hi :)
Next to embellishing my card, I added a piece of red/white polka dot designer paper and some Totally Black Trendy twine to the side of my card mat, added some glossy accents to the lady but and placed a few clear sequins around the sentiment die.
The entire card mat was then placed onto the cardbase, popped up using some fun foam.

Today the DT will be showcasing projects using the new set~

Circle Stitched Pattern Die

Since St. Patty's day is tomorrow I thought I would make a CAS card for today's project. I used the new Circle Stitching Pattern Dies as a border and then die cut the adorable shamrock to pop up as my "pop of color" Before adhering it to my card front, I did stamp my sentiment and then pulled out some gold thread to add behind the shamrock. Then I popped it up onto the card front using some fun foam. I thought it still needed something more so I randomly placed some matching green and gold sequins on. The whole card front was then popped up onto the kraft card base using more fun foam.

MCT 38th New Release Sneak Day 4

Good Morning and welcome to Day 4 of sneaks for the new

My Creative Time 38th  Release!

Today is the final day of sneaks before the big reveal and blog hop!!! It has been such an awesome week of projects but we have one more set to showcase.......

Today the DT will be showcasing projects using the freebie set~

HELLO You

I used this stamp set and made a set of 4 cards (2 pictured) to give to my MIL. I went CAS to showcase the gorgeous new image!
Hope you like them!!!

Here is my card up close! Isn't that greenery so pretty! I just LOVE it!

To make my card I used the new stamp and some Peeled Paint Distress ink to stamp the image onto the bottom corner of my stitched frame die. Then using one of the sentiments also from this set, I stamped it right next to the image.

To add some dimension to my card, I die cut some of the tiny flowers from the Way To Go set using scraps of pattern paper from my stash. I then popped them up with some small foam squares and added some tiny pearls and enamel dots.

2 very CAS cards that I think are so pretty to give as a gift set! The best thing about these is you can change the sentiment to fit any occasion!

MCT 38th New Release Sneak Day 3

Good Morning and welcome to Day 3 of sneaks for the new

My Creative Time 38th  Release!

Another AWESOME day of projects yesterday right?? Well today is going be be just as FABULOUS!!!

Today the DT will be showcasing projects using the new sets~

Snow Buddies and Winter Snowman Dies
OMG wait until you see these sets!! Total CUTENESS!!

For my card today I used the new snowman dies along with the new oval dies to create this....

Don't you just LOVE that snowman?? He is super cool...LOL!!! To make my card, I started with a kraft cardstock base, added a layer of white cardstock and then a rectangular designer paper die cut. I knew where the snowman was going to be placed so I stamped my sentiment using the new Snow Buddies stamp set. Next I die cut the oval where my snowman was going to be placed and set that aside to cut the pieces for the snowman. With matching pattern paper, I cut those adorable mittens and the scarf, the snowman in white and the hat, buttons and glasses in black. You can even see his adorable stick arms which were die cut in brown and are all part of the new Winter Snowman Dies set. He was then assembled and placed onto the oval die cut.

Here is another angle of the card and you can see the dimension I added by popping up the mittens and scarf. Some enamel dots and my card was completed!
