Hello Sweet Stamping Friends!

Welcome to Day #1 of Sneak Peeks for the 101st Edition New Release from My Creative Time!!

This release is full of a bunch of awesome products, as always!!


Today we are showcasing the NEW... 
Stay Beautiful

Such a lovely set this is!  Before I even seen the set I was already in love with it,
just because I loved the name of it!!

The set includes a beautiful flower and eight gorgeous sentiments!!

You can use the sentiments in the set to act like the stem of the flower!  Such a neat idea!!

So for my first card with the set, I did just that!  With the crazy times right now I thought it was very fitting to use the 'make everyday count' sentiment from the set!!

So elegant!!

Someone Very Special

Hello Stamping Friends!


I have a fun card to share with you using dies from Frantic Stamper!!

For the left border I used the fun Chinese Geometric Edger (10565)!  I added some rhinestones for a fun touch!

I used the lovely Oriental Poppies (10578) for the flowers!! I die cut it once from green cardstock and twice from a peach/orange card stock.  The green I used as the base, I trimmed each the flowers and adhered to the base.  I then used a few of them to add pop-dots to the back to give dimension!

I love poppies!!

Be sure to check out all of Frantic Stamper's fun dies!!

Have a lovely day!

MCT Sneak Peek Day #1 - Amazing

Hello Sweet Stamping Friends!

Welcome to Day #1 of Sneak Peeks for the 86th Edition New Release from My Creative Time!!


Today we are showcasing the NEW 
Amazing

What a beautiful stamp and die set this is!

Here is the first card I created with the set:

The flowers in the set are beautiful.  I started by stamping three of them at the bottom right of my card.  At first I was going to just leave the black and white.  But then decided to add a little Distress Oxide Ink to the corner as well.

I then stamped and die cut another flower and added it to my card with pop dots!!  I really like how it stands out from the others!!

I also really like the 'Keep on being AMAZING!' sentiment in the set!!

Weird Holiday with MCT

Hello Sweet Stamping Friends!

I'm joining in the post today on the My Creative Time Blog!

Today's theme is...
Weird Holiday

I enjoy checking out all the 'Weird' holidays!

I decided to base my project off of June 3rd's 'Repeat Day"!! 

Little info on the day:

Possibly created by someone who loved doing the same thing over and over again, Repeat Day is an unofficial holiday that encourages people to re-do or re-state things multiple times. It is unclear why someone invented a holiday that would make celebrators sound like a broken record.

While Repeat Day is definitely one of the more bizarre holidays out there, it needs very little preparation or effort to celebrate - all you need to do is repeat yourself !!

I love flowers and was so excited when the Cute Flower Tag Die was released recently!! 

I created this tag:

With the weird holiday in mind, I decided to 'repeat' myself and create another tag as I really liked how it turned out so much!!

Here is my new tag:

So fun!!  I decided to go with a brighter plaid this time!!

I left the flower look like a daisy as that is what I really liked about my first one!  I just added some rhinestones to the center!

June 8th is Best Friends Day!
So I added the 'To my best friend'' sentiment to the inside of my tag, which is part of the Mini Spring Greetings stamp set!

This tag turned out, just as cute as the first one I made!!

Vino
