MCT October Release Sneak Peek Day 1 ~ christmas shaker!

Hi today is day 1 of My Creative Time October Release Sneak Peeks!  

I had a lot of fun playing with Fun Stitched Ornaments & More.  There are 3 different ornaments with stamps to coordinate! 

To create the outline of the ornament, I used a circle die to cut out the center of the ornament.  

The actual die for the circle ornament is solid.  Don't you just love the wispy evergreens!  

I think they are so pretty!

MCT Tutorial Thursday ~ happy birthday!

Happy Thursday, today is Tutorial Thursday over at My Creative Time.  This is where we "try" to share a technique with you.  I say try because sometimes it's hard to explain a technique...hopefully I'll be able to!  :)

The technique I'm going to share with you is masking and no line watercoloring.

First of all I wanted the sentiment to intruped the image.  

So I first stamped the sentiment on the die cut rectangle and masking paper.

Then I cut out the sentiment on the masking paper.

 Next I placed the sentiment mask over the stamped sentiment.

Once I determined which flower is the front flower, that will be the first flower stamped.  I stamped the flower over the sentiment masking, also stamping  same flower on masking paper.  I used Distress Ink in a very light color so I could barely see it.  

After I cut out the flower from the masking paper I placed over the stamped flower on the rectangle. Then I chose which flower would be behind the front flower and stamped it.

I repeated the same process as the sentiment and the flower image for the existing flowers.

Once all the stamping was completed I was left with image of flowers behind each other.

The next thing to do was choose the colors of distress inks and smooch them on my palette.  With watered down ink I painted each petal individually and not next to each other until they were dry.  I added another layer of paint to each petal for more depth.  I made sure that each layer was dry before adding more.

My Creative Time and Original Gourmet Lollipop ~ yummy!

GOOD MORNING & welcome to our collaboration with the FABULOUS “Original Gourmet Lollipop” company! We are ALL super excited to partner up with this company because they truly do have the BEST lollipops around! Many of you are familiar with our famous “Stitched Lollipop Holder Dies” which fit the famous OG lollipops PERFECTLY! Well, we just discovered the “mini” OG lollipops! We LOVED them so much that Emma designed a brand new “Mini Stitched Lollipop Die”. This new die fits the mini OG lollipops to PERFECTION! Join us as we showcase BOTH sizes of these dies so you can see the difference!

I only have the Original Stitched Lollipop die to share with you, however the rest of the 

team will have both.  I just have to say that I had a hard time not eating these before I could get the pictures!  Oh my the Pumpkin Spice Latte was caaaaaalling me!  :)

To create the black holder, I first heat embossed it with white. Then I pieced the witches feet together and added glossy accents. Next I attached the purple "dress" tulle.

           

For the white holder, I cut my strip of stamps, yes I cut my stamps, 

and cringed the whole time.  But I'm so happy I did!  I can always line them back in a row 

if I ever want to use them that way again.  Then tied the stick with the orange tulle.  How much easier could it have been!

MCT Inspire Me ~ enjoy!

Today is Inspire Me Wednesday over at My Creative Time.  My card today was inspired by nature, a simple rainbow and the fact I just wanted to play with watercolors.  :)

Normally  I use watercolors with less pigment, but this time I wanted to try using it almost full strength.  I love how vivid the colors are.
