MCT April Release Sneak Peek Day 4 ~ Happy Birthday!

Welcome to Day 4 of My Creative Time's April Release Sneak Peeks!  

What do you think of this release?  Isn't it AWESOME!!!!  You only have one more day before you can see the whole collection in it's entirety!  In some ways this week has gone by fast, however tomorrow can't get here soon enough!  :)  Today, we are showcasing And then some & Springtime in Paris sets!

For my project today, I used Springtime in Paris set, it just called for lots of layers and textures.  I think I may have accomplished just that! :)

After stamping and die cutting the Eiffel Tower, I added some chunky glitter (I just had to).  A bit of distressing with ink and tools gave my card the look I was wanting.  I love "worn" and "elegance" together!

MCT Whatever Wednesday ~ Happy Spring!

Hello peeps, it's Whatever Wednesday at My Creative Time!  

That means that we can do whatever we want, so I cam up with this mini spring banner.

To create this banner, I first glued burlap to paper using basic glue stick.  After it had dried I ran it through the Big Shot and the Tag Die with a shim.  The hole for the tag didn't cut all the way through, which worked out perfectly, since I wanted the holes on the edges for the hemp to be strung through.

I stamped the sentiment on canvas, the frayed the edges a bit.  The bunnies and flowers are cut from felt and the tails are from pom pom trim.  I think the bunnies turned out so cute!

Happy Birthday!

Hi kiddos!  

I hope you've been having a wonderful week so far, if not, no worries it's almost over!  :)

Since joining the Peachy Keen Stamps DT I've been having so much fun playing with my Copics and Spectrum Noir pens!  I had forgotten how much I enjoy coloring and just how relaxing it is!  :)  

So today I wanted to share a card the I made for one of my brother's birthday using my favorite stamps and dies from My Creative Time and Peachy Keen!

Isn't this chef adorable!!!  Of course the sentiment is perfect with it!  The "type" font is awesome for any project!

Now I'm sure you've been seeing the new burlap paper from DCWV.  Well, I've been on a mission to use what I have, and too reduce my supplies before buying something, that I think I just have to have :)  (hopefully this will last )  So I took some burlap ( I have a ton of it), ran it through my Xyron and adhered it to thin card stock (like Recollections from Michael's). Then I ran it through my Big Shot with the 

XL Label die.  Voila...burlap paper!

3D Wednesday ~ Thank You!

 

Happy Wednesday Everyone!  I have to apologize that I haven't been posting as much as usual.  Life has been very busy for me lately, which is great!  However, it hasn't allowed me to get in my craft room as much as I'd love to! 

 

For today's project I wanted to create and cute little "thank you" favor box for My Creative Time's 3D Wednesday!  I figured since the spring and summer usually bring lots of weddings, showers and etc...that I would create something that would be quick and cute to mass produce!

 

I simply die cut the box, doily and ticket with My Creative Time Dies.  Added a bit of ink, some burlap and glitter to the edge of the ticket and wham, bam, thank you ma'am!  Oh, and little bit of hemp and a button!  Now it's done!!!!  hehe

Up Up Up & Away ~ Card!

Happy Friday!  I'm so excited that it's the weekend, for some reason this week felt long!  Do you have any special plans this weekend?  One of my friends is turning a BIG number (I won't tell what it is, lol), so we are heading to the city for dinner.  If you live in the Bay Area, that's what you say...the city!  We are going to a place that I went to for my Senior Ball...many moons ago!  I remember it being a fun place with rainstorms, thunder and lightning.  Kind of like The Tiki Room at Disneyland.  I'm hoping it's as fun as I remember.

Anyway on to my card!  Today I made a card for a blogging friend, whose friend is very ill!  I hope this brightens her day!

Happy Fall Y'all ~ Card and Giveaway!

Hi Paper Lovers!!! 

Hope you're all have a fabbie week!  Just when I thought that that fall was here in the Bay Area, we had summer like weather.  That seems so crazy when you think of everything that's going on with the East Coast.  It kind of made it hard to get in the spirit of Halloween and now Thanksgiving.  Well I think our weather is finally changing to fall.  We are finally suppose to be in the 50-60's and cold nights!  OK, cold for us!  LOL!

 

So now I really feel like I can get in the mood for Thanksgiving Day cards and decor!
