season's greetings! ~ MCT 127th Release Blog Hop

 

Welcome to My Creative Time 127th Release Blog Hop and sale!  This was such a fun release to create with!  I love the new paper pad where you can just cut out the printed snowmen!  No coloring required, how much easier could it be!  To create the background of the shaker, I simply did a bit of ink blending with the fun new stencil. The shaker frame was made with the Snowball Dies.  I'm so in love with this Let it Snow paper pad, please don't let my picture fool you, the purple is a beautiful deep purple (my lighting was terrible). You can see that I made another texture paste background, though I didn't add any fine glitter this time. I also added some Stickles to the hat and three little snowballs.

happy birthday! ~ MCT 126th Release Sneak Peek Day 2

 

 Welcome to My Creative Time's 126th Release day 2 of sneak peeks!  Here's a fun card showing that Gingerbread people aren't just for Christmas!  Yep, I created a birthday card!

Again I use my star stencil, but used distress ink and modeling paste to create a background on the tag. Using the nested tag layers to cut out a layer and popped it up.  Of course this is after the paste dried.  :)  Oh I forget to let you know I sprinked the stars before they dried with fine glitter...my glitter paste was all dried up so I improvised.  Isn't that the beauty of crafting, there really isn't any wrong way to do it.  Also I didn't have a good pink for the hearts, hard to believe with all the paper I have, so I colored them with a copic marker and added glossy accents.

Sweet Ginger Bread Person Die

Jingle All The Way stamp and die set

it's your day ~ MCT 121st Release Sneak Peek Day 3!

Welcome to day 3 of My Creative Time's 121st Release sneak peek!  So far we've had a crafty encourage day, a father's day, and now birthday day!  This release has not only been fun but super versatile!  Oh wait, and another stencil!

I know it's hard to see but I used modeling paste with some fine glitter with the star stencil to create some texture on the small panel.  A little confession, I went to use my Nuvo Glimmer Paste only to find that it was dried up.  That's when I thought of the modeling paste and fine glitter and it worked.  It's not transparent like glimmer paste, however it is sparkly (in person).  Some quick copic coloring on the ice cream completes the card.

The mini ice cream card was made with the Ice Cream die.  This could be used by itself as a mini card, on a full card,  or as a tag hanging from a gift bag!

happy father's day ~ MCT 121st Release Sneak Peek Day 2!

It's day 2 of My Creative Time's 121st Release sneak peeks!  So what did you think of yesterday?  Isn't the new pattern paper awesome!  Well guess what?  I used the paper today...if used right it can be masculine too!  Oh and one more thing...Emma has brought back stencils!  This made my crafty heart happy!

I used the stencil two ways for my cards.  One way as a stencil for two of the cards and the other as an embossing folder for all three cards.  Another way to get more mileage from your supplies!

get better ~ MCT 119th Release Sneak Peek Day 3

Hi, we are half way through My Creative Time's 119th Release Sneak Peeks!  Today is day 3 and we have the sweetest "fixed" Broken Heart Dies to share with you!  I know that my picture is difficult see (it was super overcast and hard to get the white without being washed out) but in person this card is really nice with a CAS design.  Oh by the way, Broken Heart Dies set also happens to be this month's freebie (see below for details).

Did a little Oxide blending over a stencil for the background.  Quick die cutting and heat embossing and this card is complete!

fun backgrounds and found images...

Hi! This past weekend I was able to play in my craft room.  Recently I picked up some stencils from Erin Lee Creative when she had a sale.  So this weekend I made a bunch of backgrounds with them.  I didn't have anything in mind, just wanted to play with distress inks and oxides.  Oh, I also pulled out my Minc machine I've had for years but have never used...so typical!

 

On the top one, I turned the stencil a quarter turn and did more ink blending.  I think it turned out pretty cool!

oooh, don't you love the foil!  Why did I wait so long to use the Minc?!  I used  Deco Art Transfer Gel over the stencil, waited an hour then ran it through the machine with pink foil.  I'm not sure what brand it is but I don't think it matters.  

After I had a bunch of backgrounds I didn't want to waste them.  So I looked on my desk to see what I had.  I've found a bunch of these colored images in an envelope.  Honestly, I can't remember how long ago I colored these or what color of Copic markers I used.  I'm just happy I found them :)

Now let's see what I came up with...
