MCT "Do Over" Thursday


It's "Do Over" Thursday with My Creative Time, and I was inspired by a card I saw by Debby Hughes in Online Card Classes' Clear & Sheer class when remaking my card below.  I kept my basic layout of stamping the "they lived happily every after" stamp from Once Upon a Time..." on a heart that I made with one of the Stitched Sweetheart & XOXO Dies and also using the fun ampersand die from And Then Some.

However, Debby inspired me to heat emboss the Carved Heart stamp on vellum for my background and then add some white and vellum sprigs and leaves from Stitched Pretty Flowers & Leaves Dies and Already Missing You.

I love the light and airy feeling of the new card, but I still love the bold and graphic feel of the old card.  You really can't go wrong with any MCT products!

MCT 54th Edition Release Blog Hop

Welcome to the My Creative Time 54th Edition Release Blog Hop!  You should have arrived here from the very talented Jessica.  If you just happened upon here, you might want to head over to Emma's blog, to the beginning of the hop.  This is a very fun release, and I hope you are as excited about it as we are!


I had so much fun using new and old MCT products to make this little tag to put on a Mother's Day gift for my mom!  I started by making the base with the largest of the Stitched Starburst Dies and then cutting a circle of patterned paper using one of the new More Stitched Circle Dies.

Next I created my little scene.  I made the cute little branch and bird with the Fun Tweet Me Dies and Tweet Me stamps.  I pulled out my favorite new You are my Sunshine set and used the sun and cloud dies to add to the scene.  On the cloud, I stamped "To My" from Friendships are Forever and then added the "mom" die cut made with a die from the new Mom set.

Here's a closer look at the new sets used on this card.  They are available now in the My Creative Time Store

More Stitched Circle Dies

You Are My Sunshine

Mom

MCT 54th Edition Sneak Peek #3


I've got another My Creative Time Sneak Peek for you this morning!!!  Today's sneak peek, Inspire, is a sweet stamp and die set that is actually this month's freebie!  I used the three stamps from this set to stamp "You Inspire Me" upon the die cut that I made with the die also included in Inspire.  If you are one of the first 150 shoppers on Friday when the release begins, Inspire will be included with your order.  After that you'll be able to purchase it in the store.

My cute little vase was made with one of the Stitched Chunky Jar Dies, using some tie-dyed paper I bought at Hobby Lobby years ago.  I filled the vase with flowers made with the Stitched Pretty Flowers & Leaves Dies.  To add interest to the kraft background, I ran it through my Vagabond with the Cuttlebug Polka-Dots Embossing Folder.
