MCT Whatever Wednesday- Happy First Birthday Jackson! :)

Hello! It's "Whatever Wednesday" at MyCreativeTime. Today we make whatever we want. :) Well folks, today our precious nephew Jackson turns ONE! This is the card I made him for his special day. I used the Light The Candles set for the cupcake. I colored it with my Copics. I turned the "1" from the Number Fun Dies into a candle using the flame from the Light The Candles set. I used the Stitched Party Dies to make the banner, and the Alpha Pack to personalize it with his age and initial. I used the Stitched Rectangular Frames And More Dies and the Stitched Postage Frame Dies as well.

MCT- Made In Minutes

Hello! It's Made In Minutes Monday at MyCreativeTime. It's also my birthday today! :) So I made a birthday card that I'd love to receive. Anything with a kitty on it is aces in my book. :) I started by stamping the party hat from the Tweet Me set. Then I masked it off and stamped the kitty from the You Had Me At Meow over it. This way it puts the hat on kitty's head. Then I just had fun experimenting with my Copics. It's not "purrfect", but I like it. ;) I added some lines, dots, and squiggles with my white gel pen. The greeting is also from the You Had Me At Meow set. I used the Stitched Rectangular Frames And More dies for the panel and card base.

Hello! Today I played with brand spankin' new PeachyKeen goodness! :) I used my silhouette to cut out the new Blue Monster Peachy Pieces.

The adorable face is from the new Squee Face Assortment. So cute! I ♥ him!

A campin' raccoon card and SALE ALERT!!! :)

Hello! Happy 4th of July to you!!! Are you camping for the 4th? Well, my sweet Peachy raccoon is having a grand ole time camping and making smores for the 4th. :) I used the fabulous May 2014 set by PeachyKeenStamps for my card today. I stamped the fire and raccoon from the May 2014 set and used my Prismacolor colored pencils to color them. Then I fussy cut them out. Here's a TIP...I added glossy accents to the branch the raccoon is holding after I cut it out. Glossy accents gives it some strength so it won't rip or break. :) 

I used the Stitched Grass Die from MyCreativeTime for my grass. I colored it with Shabby Shutters and Crushed Olive distress inks. For my sky I used Broken China, Salty Ocean, Faded Jeans, Chipped Sapphire, and Dusty Concord distress inks. I love how the night sky turned out. :) The greeting is also from the May 2014 set from PeachyKeenStamps.

Have a safe and happy 4th!

♥ Nikki ♥

MCT Whatever Wednesday "Happy Birthday"

Hello! Today is Whatever Wednesday at MyCreativeTime. Today is the day we get to make whatever our little hearts desire. :) For my card today I used the Pretty Spring Wreaths set by MyCreativeTime. I stamped the actual wreath part with Green Hills Shadow Ink. I stamped each of the flowers with Bubblegum, Fresh Peach, and Soft Cantaloupe Shadow Inks. I fussy cut them out and placed them around the wreath. 

I stamped the greeting from the Floral Sentiments set with Bubblegum Shadow Ink.

I hope you have a great day!

♥ Nikki ♥

p.s. I used the Candy Stripe background from PeachyKeenStamps on the card base. 

A happy Peachy elephant :)

Hello friends! Happy Saturday to ya. :) I stamped and paper pieced the cutest elephant ever from the fabulous Elephant Parade set by PeachyKeenStamps. Her cute party hat is also from the Elephant Parade stamp set. All the patterned papers on this card are from the Hello Sunshine paper pad by Lawn Fawn. {Which I'm totally obsessed with}

I attached this cutie elephant with a WOBBLE so it wiggles. :)

I hope you're having a fabulous weekend!

♥ Nikki ♥

Happy Birthday Stripes

Hello! Happy Monday to ya! For my card today I started by white heat embossing the fabulous Candy Stripe background from PeachyKeenStamps. It's called Candy Stripe, but as you can see it's totally not just for Christmas. :) I colored it in with the newest rainbow of distress markers, and then I sprayed it half to death with a mixture of perfect pearls and water in a mini mister. That sentiment is from the Reverse Sentiments set from PeachyKeenStamps. It's super cool because it stamps the background and the text will show through in whatever color paper you stamp on. Lots of possibilities! OH, and I put that sentiment on a Wobble so it wiggles. :)

I hope you're having a fantastic day! See ya tomorrow. :)
