3-D Wednesday

Good morning my creative friends & welcome to another:

Today I decided to use these sweet tag dies (which I haven't used in forever)! ;) I also wanted to show you how you can turn your light bulb die into a little cutie patootie hot air balloon! I am not the 1st person who did this, one of my AWESOME design team members came up w/this idea & I LOVED it & wanted to try it myself! In my video below, I show you exactly how to make your light bulb into this.

For both of my tag sentiments, I use "More of my Favorite Sayings" stamp set!

Supplies used:
~ Just Tags
~ Your Brilliant
~ More of my Favorite Sayings
~ Natural color Jute
~ Kraft Hemp twine
~ I heart summer Simple Stories 6x6 pad

Here is my video today!

Inspire Me Tuesday

GOOD MORNING my creative friends & welcome to our very first "INSPIRE ME TUESDAY"! Basically, we all based our projects on what inspired "US" to create them. For my little card today, I've been super inspired by all of these inky techniques I've been seeing. I know my card is nothing MAJOR, but I did some inking on my card along w/a background stamp. I first stamped my background onto white cardstock, then I inked up all the edges & worked my way toward the center of the card using my blending tool w/the Soft pool ink. Then I die cut my gift card holder die & ONLY used the decorative edge for my card just to give it a different look. I ALSO wanted to show you another fun way how to use this die as well! ;) Then I added the clouds, arrow, sentiment & sequins. Last, but certainly not least, I added chunky glitter to my clouds! (which I hope did NOT blind you!) hehehe!

Supplies used:

~ It's all about you

~ Stitched mini frame & arrow

~ Embossed gift card holder die

~ Fly away w/me dies

~ Script type backgrounds

~ Soft Pool shadow ink

~ I heart Summer 6x6 paper pad (for arrow & edge of card)

Here is my video for you today!

Scrapping The Little Things

GOOD MORNING my creative friends & welcome to another:

I hope you ALLLLL enjoyed your Father's day weekend as much as I did!;) I just LOVE Mondays because this is the day that we get to SCRAP! Basically, if you are new to my blog, every Monday my design team & myself either do a smashbook page, project life OR a scrapbook page! Alot of us are so behind on these that I thought it would be a GREAT idea to dedicate at lease one day out of the week for us to catch up! Okay, for today, I decided to do a smashbook page! I wanted to use the picture that my sister & myself took w/our father on Father's day over the weekend! I used TONS of MCT products & I just LOVE how they ALL work together so BEAUTIFULLY! You can see the list of supplies I used below!

To dress up my clouds, I stamped my "Script type backgrounds" on them!

One of my FAVE features on this page is that I used the "Journal it" stamp set & stamped onto one of my "Tag Dies"! I just wanted to show you that you don't always have to used the "Stitched 3x4 Journal dies for these stamps! I also thought it would be cute to add the mustache onto the hot air balloon! ;)

Supplies used:

~ Fly away w/me stamps

~ Fly away w/me dies

~ Lowercase fun dies

~ Stitched Capture Frame & Arrow die set

~ What's Growing on?

~ More of my Favorite Sayings

~ Journal it

~ Tag Dies

~ (small banner) Chocolate Greetings

~ (bigger banner) Vintage Stitched label dies

~ Script Type backgrounds

Thrifty Thursday ~ Circles

GOOD MORNING my creative friends & welcome to another "Thrifty Thursday"! I hope you are sitting down because my design team has some AMAZING cards for you today! Today, we are all using what we have on our craft table or just our scraps. As you can see, we have a little "Circle" theme going on here! ;) Today all of our cards consists of some kind of circles which I think are pretty FUN! I decided to do a circle shaped card since I haven't made one of these in like FOREVER! In my video I show you how I made it using my EK Success circle cutter. I have the older version, but you can get the new version of this cutting tool HERE. Since I had to cut out all of my circles separately, I put them all together using a brad so my card can swivel open.

I even cut out a circle to layer on the inside of the card to put a sentiment!

I am REALLY happy w/how my card turned out! You can see in my video below exactly how I created this FUN circle card today!

Supplies used:

~ Lowercase Fun Dies

~ More of my Favorite sayings

~ You are here! (arrow)

~ Lace Ribbon

~ Simple Stories "I heart summer" 6x6 paper pad

~ Simple Stories "I heart summer" decorative brad
