For my card today, I wanted to create a fall card using "non-traditional" fall colors!  I just LOVE Tim Holtz inks & the colors I used were CRACKED PISTACHIO, RIPE PERSIMMON, MERMAID LAGOON.  I used one of my FAVE Fall stamp set called "Gobble Gobble".  I also used my Rectangular die & my Square Dies for the frame portion!

What a Treat Wednesday!

GOOD MORNING my sweet friends & welcome to another "What a Treat Wednesday!"

Today my design team & myself made little treats using a variety of my dies! 

For my treat today, my niece "Olivia" left for science camp this week! The FUN part is that her sister "Isabel" who is a Senior in high school was able to go along as a camp "Counselor"  How FUN is that?  So I thought I would grab my 3x3 Fancy envelope Die & use that as my treat holder along w/a few notes on the inside! ;) 

I was able to cut some square size note cards using my Stitched Squares Dies & it fit PERFECTLY into the envelope! ;)  We each wrote a note to each of them & I also have some other goodies to give to them that I will be mailing out today! :) 

Here is a pic of everything that is in my envelope! 

Now here it is ALL closed up! ;)

My Favorite Stamp of the Month!

GOOD MORNING my sweet friends & welcome back to another "My Favorite Stamp of the Month!"  Can you even BELIEVE we are in October ALREADY??? This makes me THOROUGHLY HAPPY! lol… ;) 

Today we are featuring another "My FAVORITE stamp OR die of the Month!  This month we are featuring one of my FAVE dies "You're My Hero!" stamp set.  If this set of dies have been on your wish list, you can pick this set up HERE at a discount price!

This set will be on sale for the entire month of October! The sale will end on October 31, 2015 @ 12:00am PST!  

For my card today, I WANTED to do a video, but TRUST ME, it would've been an EXTRA long one! hehehe! I am STILL learning how to water properly! ;)  Just to water color this card, it took me 1 1 1/2 hour to complete the coloring ONLY! That's pretty sad ….Huh?  What took me the LONGEST was the background! I was NEVER satisfied with it so I came heat setting it, then add more colors a FEW times until it looked decent!  Basically, this ENTIRE card was watercolored! The ONLY thing that was not, is the base of the card!
The funny thing is that this card came to me different in my brain, but I still think it came out cute! ;)  I used my Bunch of Circle Dies to create the moon! Maybe if I keep practicing my coloring,  then I will have the nerve to do an entire card like this on video for you! ;)
I was ALSO HAPPY to FINALLY have the new Droplets in my hands to add it to my card! I think it was the BEST final touch!  You can see EVERYTHING I used in the products listed below this picture.

Trending Now "Color Blocking"

Good morning my sweet friends & welcome to My Creative Time! 

Today is another "Trending Now"! My team & I are doing a technique called COLOR BLOCKING! Basically you can use die cuts, stamping, watercoloring or just about anything that will give you some kind of blocks on your card as a focal point! I don't think they HAVE to be squares, you can basically use any shapes that you want!

For my card, I die cut some squares out using this ADORABLE 6x6 paper pad "Something Wicked" by My Mind's Eye".  Then I just adhered all the pieces straight down onto the front of my card.  Then I stamped my sentiment & popped up my cutie mummy to the lower right hand side of the card using my FAVE "Too Cute To Spook" set!  You can see in my video below how I put my card today!
