Do Over Thursday Projects!

GOOD MORNING my sweet friends & welcome back to another "Do Over Thursday!" 

Before we get started….HAPPY NEW YEAR'S EVE! 

Today we are showcasing cards that we have recreated from a card that we have previously made! 

Here is my card that I am recreating: 

So instead of the focal point being to the right side of the card, I created another card making the focal point on the left side of the card! 

Here is the card I made!  I thought it was fitting since New Year's Day is ALREADY tomorrow! 

I kept my card SUPER SIMPLE.  I just used clear embossing powder to emboss those rectangles from "Geo Borders" to the left of my card! Then I die cut it out using my "Stitched Rectangular Frame Dies  & More".  I also die cut the martini glass with it's accessories using my "Cocktail Party Stitched Dies", then stamped that sentiment from "You're My Pot of Gold (revised)".  Lastly I just added sequins & that tiny heart that came from the stirrer that the olive is on! :)

I just want to take the time to say…. "THANK YOU" to ALL of you for letting me do what I LOVE yet, another year!  I would not be able to do what I do without the support from all of YOU!  This has been a FABULOUS year & all I have to say is that I hope you are ready for 2016! I have some AMAZING new MCT goodies lined up already! ;)  January is going to be an EXTRA SPECIAL month because we will be celebrating our "5 Year Anniversary" of doing My Creative Time! I still can't believe it….I feel like I JUST designed my very FIRST Edition stamp set yesterday!   It went by so fast & I APPRECIATE all of "YOU" for your support because I sure would not be able to do this without all of you! So with that said...THANK YOU & CHEERS to a new year! 

I want to wish you ALL a HAPPY HAPPY & SAFE NEW YEAR!!!  xoxo

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~! ;)

34th Edition Release Sneak Peek #2

GOOD MORNING my sweet friends & welcome to day 2 of our 34th Edition Sneaky Peeks! 

Today we are showcasing 2 new items along w/a stamp that will be given to the first 100 shoppers for FREE~! AFter the 100 shoppers come through, then this stamp will be available for purchase!

For my first card, I am showcasing our new "Stitched Decorative Banners" & the stamp that will be given to the first 100 shoppers is "Dream Bigger!"  I wanted to try something a little different & use these cute banners to make a shaker card! I love that these dies have stitching on the outside so your shaker cards will look so PRETTY! ;) I stamped the sentiment using 2 different color inks & I just resized my Stitched Postage Frame die & heat embossed the bottom part of the sentiment on it! For the shaker portion, I used Tim Holtz Mustard Seed distress glitter!

For my tag, I used the "Stitched Decorative Dies" a different way! I just stamped our new Grainy Wood Background stamp on to them & just used my Tim Holtz tiny attacher to attach them to my Tag Die! Then I used my Flower Petal Dies along w/the 'you' from my Speech Bubble Sentiments! The sentiment "miss" is from my Happy Mail Stamp set!

Okay, for my last & final card for today I used our NEW fun stamp set called "Geo Borders!" This stamp set comes w/a total of 3 border stamps! This set adds that finishing touch to all of your projects!  What I did was stamp my triangle border, then I inked up ONE triangle & stamped it in blue ink sporadically to give it a bit more interest!  The 'hello there' is from my Speech Bubble Sentiments! The mini tag is from my Chunky Jar Accessories! 

Here is my video for you today!
