And here are my cards made with the kit. 

Hello! You should have arrived from Liz's Blog, if not, head HERE to start at the beginning. For this card I used my MISTI stamping tool to repeatedly stamp the word Thankful from the stamp set in the kit. I white heat embossed it and ink blended over top with Distress Inks. I splattered with water and used a paper tower to pull up some color. I cut the vine using the die in the kit from vellum. I finished with a few dots of glossy accents. 

For this card I used the fun stencil in the kit to ink blend with Distress Inks. I moved the stencil around to get the pattern I wanted. I used a die from the Scalloped Stitched Rectangular Dies {NOT in kit} for my greeting. I cut the Thankful Die from the kit out of it. 

Your next stop on the hop is the fantabulous RUTHIE.

MCT Whatever Wednesday

Hello! It's Whatever Wednesday at MyCreativeTime! Today I used the awesome Pretty Bold Numbers Dies to create my background. I used the numbers to emboss "60" into the background by running it through my machine with the Spellbinders tan embossing mat. I then watercolored over it to match my image. {cut from the Ole cartridge with my Cricut and colored with Copics} 

You can kind of see it better here. Sorry, it is hard to get a good photo of. It's really cool in real life! Super easy, and totally custom!

Hello! I'm SO HAPPY to share this new release from Peachy Keen Stamps! The new July 2017 is so so so so awesome! Eek! Ok, I've calmed down. :) Let's start with this mermaid. How adorable is she? I stamped her and her sweet fishy friends {also in this set!} and colored them with my Copics. I made the background with distress ink and water. I love her. Swoon. 

Attention world! THERE IS A SAILOR HAT IN THIS SET!!! I shall now commence to putting sailor hats on ALL THE THINGS! :) Anyhoo, is this not the cutest sea turtle you've ever seen?! I colored him with my Copics. I made the background with distress inks and stencils. Oh, and in "super ridiculously proud Aunt news", my nephew Zach joined the United States Navy this week! ♥ I sent this card to him. ♥ 

Ok, my last card for today is a funny one! I made this super awesome pirate ride on the sea turtle! Eek! :) To make this happen I cut off his leg and peg leg {he didn't scream} and positioned them the way I wanted. Then I cut out the turtle's head {again, no screaming} and popped it up. I colored the images with my Copics, and did the background with distress inks and a cloud stencil...even for the water. {just flip it!} :) That punny greeting is also in the new July 2017 set :) 

Ok, now onto my other news for today. I did my first crafty broadcast on Periscope the other day. I was super nervous, but everyone was so nice and supportive! I ended up having lots of fun. So much so that I was on for almost an hour and a half! Oops. HA!

MCT Tag It - Watermelon Card

Hello! It's Tag It Tuesday at MyCreativeTime. I used the tag from the Holiday Tags set. I created the "watermelon" background paper after being inspired by Denise on Periscope as she made a treat bag from a kit. I blended Twisted Citron distress ink onto watercolor paper, and then used the Stripey Background and Mowed Lawn distress ink. I spritzed the stamp with water before stamping to get a loose impression. {I now know that stamp is retired. oops. But you could easily just paint stripes} :) I made the watermelon with circle dies. Colored it with distress inks. The face is from the You Make Life Sweet set. The greeting is from the Sweet Wishes set.

MCT Tutorial Thursday :)

Hello! It's Tutorial Thursday at MyCreativeTime, so today I have a little tutorial for you. I have used the Gobble Gobble set to make this card. I started by cutting a piece of watercolor paper with the Stitched Rectangular Frames And More dies. Here are photos of the process...

You can click the photo to enlarge to better see the steps. This is super easy, and makes a really pretty background using the little leaves in the Gobble Gobble set. Start by stamping them with distress ink, and then wet the with a wet brush or a water brush. Then smoosh the ink pads on a clear block and add water to flick splatters. You end up with a super fun background. :)  I stamped the greeting from the Gobble Gobble set onto a banner from the Sentiment Label Dies. After the distress ink has dried, stamp some leaves in black to tie in with the black greeting. To finish, I added a few sequins.
