Hello gorgeous

Hello! The fabulous Sandy Allnock is doing a week long FREE class on her blog called Go For The Gold. Yesterday she made a fab card using gold embossing creme...so I busted out the gold embossing paste that I've had FOREVER and have never used. LOL. I used a triangle stencil to make the background. The circle is from the Bunch of Fun Circles Dies by MyCreativeTime. I used the Hand Lettered Hello Die and the Hand Lettered Hello stamp set for the greeting...both from Wplus9. 

I hope you're having a lovely evening.

Try Me Tuesday-Make your own stencil

Hello! It's Try Me Tuesday over at MyCreativeTime, and today we made our own stencils using MyCreativeTime dies. I made my stencil using the Stitched Cartoon Clouds dies. I die cut them from acetate. I used White Embossing Paste over it. I put it on thick to get very textured clouds. I cut vellum tags with the Stitched Round Tab, Arrow, And Tag Dies. 

I white heat embossed the greeting from the It's All About You set. I added some Silver Sparkle Twine and a bunch of sequins to finish it off. Oh, forgot to mention, I made the card base and panel with the fabulous Stitched Rectangular Frames And More die set.

MCT Sneaks Day 3

Hiya! Today is day 3 of sneaks for MyCreativeTime. Today we are sneaking 3 new sets... Bee Happy, Stitched Bees & Beehive Dies, and Stitched Honey Comb Dies. I started by using the Stitched Honey Comb Dies to make a stencil. I used my white embossing paste and added a few drops of  scattered straw and wild honey distress reinkers to make it yellow. 

I cut out the bee with the Stitched Bees and Beehive Dies. The Bee and sentiment are from the Bee Happy set. I did a little paper piecing on the bee.

Whatever Wednesday *Happy Valentine's Day*

Hello! It's Whatever Wednesday at MyCreativeTime. This is the day we make whatever we want. :) I used the Lowercase Fun Dies to create my own stencil. I went over that stencil with white embossing paste to make my "happy" word. I ♥ embossing paste! I stamped the hearts from the sweet new set called Puffy Hearts Just For You with soft cantaloupe, fresh peach, and pale tomato Hero Arts inks. The greeting is also from that set, but I masked off the word happy.
