Gymnast Birthday Card

I have so many little gymnasts in my class this year!  I made this card for one of their birthdays last week, using I cut I found in the Silhouette Design Store.  For the background, I used one of My Creative Time's Stitched Rectangular Frame Dies.  The "birthday" die cut was made with the Papertrey Ink Wonderful Words:  Birthday die, and I inked it up with Tim Holtz Distress Inks in Salty Ocean, Tumbled Glass, and Twisted Citron.  "Happy" is from PTI's Stylish Sentiments:  Birthday.  I finished off the card with some Simon Says Stamp Moonshine Confetti.

Scuba Birthday Card

Since my 11-year-old nephew just learned how to scuba dive, I thought it would be fun to make him a scuba themed card for his birthday!  I found the diver cut in the Silhouette Online Store.  The rest of the cuts were found in Cricut Design Space.  He just did a dive in Hawaii and saw sea turtles and got to hold a red octopus, so I was sure to include those.  I inked up the background with Tim Holtz Distress Inks and an ink blending tool, splattering a little bit of water on top.  The heat embossed sentiment is from My Creative Time's Lost at Sea set.

Hoppy Easter!

Sometimes a few little elements can pack a big punch on a card!  For this one, I used one of the My Creative Time Stitched Square Dies Inside and Out with a cute scrap of pink polka dot paper to make a focal point.  I added some grass made with one of the MCT Pretty Edge Dies, a sweet little bunny cut with my Silhouette Cameo, and a fun sentiment from MCT's To My Best Peep.  So simple, but it's one of my favorite Easter cards that I made this year!

Mason Jar Box Card

Lori Whitlock comes up with the cutest designs for the Silhouette!  I bought this box card cut in the Silhouette Online Store.  It's very easy to put together.  All of the patterned papers I used are from retired Papertrey Ink collections, except the brown stripes, which is from an Echo Park pack I linked below.

I decorated the front of the mason jar with some My Creative Time dies:  Bunch of Stitched Doily Dies and Mini Greeting Dies.  The perfect touch!

MCT Inspire Me Wednesday

It's Inspire Me Wednesday with My Creative Time, a day to make something based on something that has inspired you!  I saw a cute little card on Pinterest that sparked my creativity and led me to make this Valentine's Day card.

To start creating this card, I found a mailbox cut in the Silhouette Online Store and pulled it into Silhouette Studio, where I modified it a bit so that I could add my own touches to it.  After I cut it, I added "Love," made with one of the MCT Mini Greetings and a couple of cute envelopes from Fun Tweet Me Dies.  I also added hearts made with the 4X4 Journal Die + More, which I colored with my Zig Wink of Stella Glitter Clear Brush Pen to give them a little sparkle.

The background of my card was made with Strathmore Bristol Smooth Cardstock, and I cut it down with one of the Stitched Rectangular Frame Dies before blending on some Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Broken China.  I squirted on some water using the Tim Holtz Distress Sprayer to give it that distressed look.  I then added a sentiment from Love is In the Air, grass made with the Stitched Grass Die, and a sweet little bird made with the Tweet Me stamp set and Fun Tweet Me Dies.

Be sure to stop by Emma's blog to see what she and the rest of the design team have for you today!
