MCT April Release Blog Hop

Hello there My Creative Time friends and welcome to the April stamp and die release. If you came here from Cindy's blog you are in the right place, if not make sure that you start back at Emma's blog so you can get the whole blog hop in.

For my project today I made gift wrap for a present. I used 3 items from Emma's newest release. The background flowers that I stamped my wrapping paper with is from the Bloom Where You are Planted stamp set. The beautiful 'Happy Birthday' sentiment comes for the Floral Sentiments stamp set (I just stamped Happy and Birthday separately so they would fit on my tag). I also used both of the Rolled Flower Dies to make my flower. 

I have picked up a lot of fun new tips and ideas for these flowers this week from Emma and the rest of the team. For this flower I used 2 of each die cut to make my flower. I did a very loose flower (almost flat), one slightly tighter (but still fairly flat), one almost normal and one super tight and layered them all inside each other. It turns out to be a pretty good sized flower (about 2 1/2" instead of the 1 1/4" ones that I made yesterday). I think it makes the perfect little accent for a present.

Here you can see the dimension just a little bit better.

Here is what I used from the new release:

Hi, I have a super quick card to share with you today. It is a little 3.5 x 3.5" note card that I made using one of Emma's newest release stamps sets Happy Hunting. 

I tried a new technique (for me) on the background. You ink the background up with Tim Holtz distress ink and then you spray your stamp with glimmer mist and stamp it. For the background stamp I used Emma's pretty floral background stamp from the Spring Chicken Background stamp set. This gives a really cool effect in person. The inner part has the exact impression of the background stamp and then it gives a glittery outline to everything. I just wish it showed up better on this picture. Oh and I also stamped and colored my bunny on PaperTrey Ink Kraft cardstock.

Well that's it for today. I hope you have a TERRIFIC day! Hugs- Glora

My Creative Time - July Release -Sneak Peek Day 4

Yay, Christmas in July, that's what this set it all about! Today Emma and her My Creative Time Design Team are featuring the beautiful All Around Christmas sentiment set. There is also a darling die set that coordinates perfectly with this stamp set. For my project I used the All Around Christmas sentiment set, the scallop die, and the stitched circle EMBOSSING only plate. The paper is very metallic and hard to photograph but here you have it.

And here is a close up of the colored image that I popped up and spritzed with some glimmer mist.

Isn't that snowman ADORABLE?!!!!! I love that Emma drew him up all on her own. He is just too cute!
