MCT September Release Sneak Peek Day 4 ~ little doggie!

Hi, today is the last day of My Creative Time September sneak peeks!  Today I get to share 

with you, All Is Calm stamp and die set!  As soon as I saw the dog die I knew this would be 

perfect for a treat bag.  Yes, I do have doggie treats in it, lol!

 

To stamp and cut the wreath, I first cut out the wreath with scrap paper.  Then I place the negative of the scrap over the paper I wanted to use.  Next I laid the stamp in the negative space, then used my stamping block to "grab" the stamp.  By doing this I was guaranteed that the stamped image would fit properly when I die cut it.  I always stamp first then die cut, I'm rarely accurate with my stamping if I die cut first then stamp.  

I used several color green markers directly on my stamp to create depth in the foliage.

MCT September Release Sneak Peek Day 3 ~ love & cookies!

Wow, we are half way through My Creative Time September release sneak peek!  Today is all about Christmas baking!  I decided to keep my card fairly clean and simple, but I could totally see this set used with Mixed Just For You stamp set!  Oh that would be so cute!

This card is mostly die cut and a bit of heat embossing.  Easy Peasy!!!

MCT September Release Sneak Peak Day 2 ~ merry christmas!

Good Morning, it's day 2 of My Creative Time September Release Sneak Peeks!  Today I get to share with you Chalkboard Christmas,  You're going to love the fun "chalky" style sentiments along with a few images in this stamp set.

Now what you might think is pattern paper is actually stamped.  The the little reindeer is actually a stamp that I used with Picket Fence to give it that "chalky" look.

MCT September Release Sneak Peek Day 1 ~ merry christmas!

Hi!  Can you believe it's already time for My Creative Time September release!  

Boy, this year is flying by!!!

To create this card I stamped the image with Picket Fence ink, hit it with my heat tool for a second to ensure the embossing powder wouldn't stick.  Then I used a VersaMark pen to ink the stamp on the dots and stamped over the already stamped image.  I didn't worry if it was perfect since I was kind of going for the chalkboard look.  Then heat embossed the embossing powder.  This card could easily be massed produced for Christmas!

MCT Thoughtful Thursday ~ proud of you!

Hello, I hope your week is a happy one so far!  I've been super busy at work so trying 

to find time to craft has been a bit difficult, but I've managed :)  

Today is Thoughtful Thursday over at My Creative Time.  I like when I get scheduled for this segment, since it gives me a chance to get well needed cards made.

After I embossed the brick pattern paper, I did ink blending with washi tape to create the star burst.  I also heat embossed the sentiment on the black circle die cut.  For the sentiment I only used a portion of it.  Some people cut them, however I chose to mask the part I didn't want stamped.  This was really a fast card to make.

MCT Favorite Stamp/Die of the Month ~ wish big!

Hello, today is My Favorite Stamp/Die of the Month over at My Creative Time!  This little birthday set has many sentiments that are so fun.  Sentiments are a great way to create a "pattern paper"!  I never have enough birthday cards that are gender neutral, this technique is perfect for that.

I used the MISTI (if you don't have one, it's worth the investment!) to create the pattern paper.  I never would have been able to this so evenly with out it.  For the label I inlaid the "wish big".  This card is relatively flat, perfect for mailing.

MCT Scrapping the Little Things ~ hallows' eve!

Hey hey hey it's Scrap the Little Things over at My Creative Time!  I really love Halloween,

 so of course when Emma designed these stamps I was thrilled! 

I think I've mentioned this before that sometimes I create pocket cards, so they are ready when I have pictures.  If I don't ever use them for scrapbooking then I can still use them on a card base.

These pocket cards were so quick to create.  After die cutting the card, I ink blended 3 colors.  Once I was sure they were dry (I use my heat gun to speed up the process) I heat embossed the witch and tree with black glitter embossing powder.  Then I sprinkled water drops to create "stars".
