MCT July Release Sneak Peek Day 3 ~ Hello!

Well we are half way through My Creative Time's July Release Sneak Peeks! Today we are featuring the

Alpha Pack Stamp set & Trio Stitched Banner dies!

There are three different size banners that you will fall in love with! You can make them flat like I did with this card or have them popped high on your page! Just too fun!

To create this card I first taped off a boarder with washi tape,. Using Tim Holtz Distress ink I made a water color wash for the background. Once it was dry I added the fussy cut water color flowers and leaves. Then followed it up with the heat embossed "hello" banner using the new Alpha Pack stamps.

A few fuchsia rhinestones adds a touch of bling :)

MCT July Release Sneak Peek Day 1 ~ Rain or Shine!

What a way to start off a Monday with a new release sneak peek from My Creative Time! You are going to LOOOVE the new stamps and dies Miss Emma has designed! They are the perfect addition to all of her previous releases.

This card was created using washi tape and the new Grainy Wood Background stamp. I tape off the rectangles then used ink and water to create the water color background.

I did the same thing for the flowers.

For my second card I stamped the Fun Letter Background stamp with VersaMark then used embossing powder to make the background pop.

Then I layered stamped dies for the focal point. Quick, easy and lot's of impact! :)

MCT Inspired Wednesday ~ Birdies!

Hi friends, I hope you're enjoying your summer! We actually had a bit of rain yesterday. Normally I wouldn't be happy for it in summer, but with our drought every drop helps!

Today is Inspired Wednesday over at My Creative Time. Inspired Wednesday is where we share you what inspires us :) Today my inspiration is a room from Pottery Barn Kids. Even though the room is for a little girl, I certainly wouldn't categorize this as a baby card. Definitely feminine but for any age. :)

For the doily I wanted the texture without the holes, so I didn't punch them out. You can only do this with a heavy cardstock like Papertrey Ink's. I stamped the birds and the branch on the doily then stamped the birds again on scrap paper and cut out. I used water color pencils to color everything.

The two smaller tags are really the large chevy die. I carefully hid them under the doily so they appear as a true die.

PKS Sketch/Photo/Color Challange ~ Happy Santa!

Hi, welcome to Peachy Keen Stamps Sketch/Photo/Color Challenge, one challenge, unlimited options! That's right you get to choose, one, all three, or any combination. How fun is that!

I decided to go with the color and sketch. I really wanted to use the NEW Pieceables SVG files, plus I have Christmas on my mind with the Christmas in July celebration going on at Peachy Keen.
