MCT 50th Edition Sneak Peek Day 3

GOOD MORNING my sweet friends & welcome to our 3rd day of our sneaky peeks for the "50th Edition Release!"  Everything we are showcasing this week will be available for purchase this Friday, December 18, 2015 at 8am PST! 

Okay, let's get to this ADORABLE set we are showcasing today! ;) 

This new stamp & die set is called "You're A Hit Valentine!"  This set includes a total of 19 stamps & 4 coordinating dies. 

I wanted to make a simple card because I wanted the main focus to be on this cutie patootie little girl!

I stamped & heat embossed that Carved Heart that we showcased yesterday for my background! I just LOVE that stamp!  Then I just stamped, colored in my girl including the extra heart that I popped up onto the heart that is attached to her for a little extra dimension. Then I used the coordinating dies to cut her & the heart out.  Then I stamped the coordinating sentiment onto one of the speech bubbles from my existing set I have out already called "Fun Speech Bubbles"  The little heart near the sentiment is from the Carved Heart set!  I also used the biggest rectangular die from my set I have out already called "Stitched Rectangular Frame Dies & More!" 

This new set has some SUPER CUTE sentiments to make the PERFECT valentines' for your child's classmates, teachers & just about anybody~!  I just ADORE this set! 

Here is my video for you today! :)

INSPIRATION WEDNESDAY

GOOD MORNING my sweet friends & welcome to another "Inspiration Wednesday!" For today, my inspiration came from this class HERE "Stretch Your Stamps 2".  You still have PLENTY of time to sign up! I am SO INTRIGUED w/this class because it shows that you can get so much MORE out of your stamps! For my first card, I used one of the techniques that Miss Laura Sterckx showed in her video in class yesterday!  This is a technique that I've wanted to try for some time now & I am HAPPY that I FINALLY did! It is called an "Ombre" background! For this technique, I heat embossed using clear embossing powder my new Grainy Wood background stamp!  Next I started from the bottom up, using my mini round Tim Holtz tool & started inking my card starting w/Tumbled Glass ink! Next I mixed in Broken China ink & started to blend the ink until it gave me the effect I was looking for! Next I used my Fun Speech Bubbles to stamp the sentiment onto the die cut vellum. Last I made a bow w/hemp twine & added sequins to finish her off! ;)  

Next up, is another technique that I learned from Miss Jennifer McGuire's video from class yesterday! I have used perfect pearls before, but NEVER used it the "correct" way! lol…. I did what Miss Jennifer did & used Versamark ink & stamped my Fun Letter Background onto a piece of black card stock! Next I used purple & a white pearl color powder & pounced it onto my background until I was satisfied w/it! Next I just misted into the air some water & waved my card through it so it can seal itself in! Next I used my heat gun to finish it off! I used my butterfly die & made a window & adhered "smile" from my Happy Thoughts set over the butterfly! Then I layered it onto a white card base, then added the little hearts from my 4x4 Journal Die & More. Last, I used clear wink of stella on the word die & the hearts & added clear glossy accents to them to finish this card off! 

Okay, last….. but CERTAINLY not least!  I dislike WASTING good scraps! ;)  So I decided to make an additional card using the actual butterfly that I cut out of the card above this one! I kept this card REAL simple! I had some white card stock scraps so this is a smaller card! I added the butterfly & the "thanks" word die from my Stitched Message Bubble dies! Then I added a strip of purple card stock & stamped the stripes on it before I adhered it down using my Geo Borders stamp set! Lastly, I added the sequins & I "THINK" this is my FAVORITE card out of all of these today~! ;)

Tag It Tuesday, A Guest Designer & Day 1 of Stretch Your Stamps 2 Class!

GOOD MORNING my sweet friends & welcome to LOTS of STUFF today! lol….. Today is a busy day, I have LOTS to share, so lets get started! 

For today's "Tag it Tuesday" my team & myself used this pretty photo as inspiration for our tags today! My tag has a "DUAL" purpose! hehehe! Today was the first day of the "Stretch Your Stamps 2" online card class so I incorporation the photo w/what I learned today in class! You can see more about this FUN class HERE & you can still sign up! 

Photo Inspiration

For my 1st tag, I used one of the resist techniques that Miss Kristina Werner used in one of the videos today!  I just followed along & heat embossed my cute "Spring chicken" background stamp onto some watercolor paper.  Then I used my watercolors to color the background in! I LOVE these watercolors because they are very VIBRANT~! I ended up mixing some colors to coordinate w/the photo the best I could!  I just watercolored one line across VIBRANT, then the next line I used more water & repeated it all the way down!  After I was done w/my watercoloring, I cut my finished watercoloring piece along w/black card stock using my "Stitched XL Label Die". I trimmed the watercolor piece & adhered it to the left of my tag. Next I cut a piece using my new "Fun Speech Bubble Dies"! Then I die cut the "hey" using my new "Stitched Message Bubble Dies" & adhered it directly onto the color piece! 

Next I added some twine, ribbon, black eyelet, sequins & my black wink of stella marker over the 'Hey' & added glossy accents on top of that!

Here is a little pic of what the process looked like!

I had a LITTLE piece of my watercolored paper left, so I created this smaller tag using it! I didn't want all of my hard work of coloring each spot to go to waste! lol…. ;)

I didn't have enough leftover to put directly onto my tag, so I just decorated the rest of the tag using enamel dots & sequins!
