My Creative Time - August Release - Sneak Peek Day 1

Hello friends, are you ready for another exciting stamp and die release with My Creative Time? Well it is here and Emma and her Design Team will have projects for you each day this week. Today we all used the stamp set 'Home Sewn' and the 'Stitched Oval Die.'

I made a house shaped card using my Gypsy and the Kate's ABC's Cricut cartridge. I added crepe paper curtains and acrylic windows. I also popped up the front house image with pop dots to add some depth and dimension. I got this awesome idea from a darling card that my Design Team Sister Katie made. You can click HERE to see her beautiful card.

I scored some lines to make it look like the house had siding, I used a mini brad for the doorknob and I stamped some grass. I had a lot of fun making this card. For the inside of the shaped card I used the 'Stitched Oval' die and another awesome sentiment from the 'Home Sewn' stamp set.

My Creative Time Design Team Day!

Welcome crafty friends. Today is another design team day with Emma over at My Creative Time. She asked us all to use her stamp set "Camera Shy" for our project. I must admit that I have fallen in LOVE with the Kate's ABC cartridge. I think this image is SO sweet and perfect for this sentiment. All of the cuts for this card come from the Kate's ABC cartridge including the background shape.

I did combine two of Emma's stamps for the sentiment. 'Simply Beautiful' is from her Camera Shy set and the 'You are' is part of the sentiment 'you are my hero' from her Happy Homecoming set. I just masked off the 'my hero' part and stamped it where I wanted it. I hope you will drop by Emma's blog to see what she and the other design team members have made.

I also want to remind you to keep dropping by Pam's blog as she is having a giveaway every day this week for her birthday! I'm also very happy and honored to say that I will be guest designing for her Friday (on her actual birthday). Click HERE to go to Pam's blog.

Items Used:

*Kate's ABC's Cricut cartridge

The butterflies have darling Peachy Keen faces from the Critter Faces stamp sets and the beautiful Love and Hope stamps from a stamp set called Race for a Cure by Emma at My Creative Time. And Below is one more close up of the bottom butterfly. The wings are spritzed with a glimmer mist.
