Inspiration Wednesday!

Good morning my sweet friends & welcome back to another "Inspiration Wednesday!" 

Today my AWESOME team & myself created cards from something that inspired us!  The inspiration behind my card is that cute jar stamp & die set "My Thoughts are with You"!  When I designed that set, it TOTALLY inspired me to use the roses from the "Love You Bunches" set & put them into this jar as a vase!  I kept this card super simple so you can focus on the roses in the jar!  I just watercolored the background using Tim Holtz OLD PAPER ink to do a very soft background! 

Next I used Tim Holtz BARN DOOR, FESTIVE BERRIES, FOREST MOSS & PEELED PAINT to watercolor the roses.  For the jar, I used Tim Holtz PUMICE STONE & TUMBLED GLASS. 

I'm not sure if you can see, but I added glossy accents to the entire jar.  (I couldn't get a better pic). :(

Well, back to the watercoloring, as soon as I was done coloring all of the images, then I used the coordinating dies to but them out using my Vagabond.  I used lots of pop dots to pop up the cute flowers in the jar so they can stand out!  I stamped the sentiment from my BELIEVE IN YOUR DREAMS set!  Last I added some sparkly clear sequins from Pretty Pink Posh, adhered it to the base of my card & called it a night! ;)  I "wish" I would've been able to take a better picture so you can see how shiny it is in real life!

MCT PRODUCTS USED:

~ Love You Bunches

~ My Thoughts Are With You

I just LOVE what my team has created!!! Don't you agree?? ;)

Well, no video today :(  I was on homework duty last night!  One of Anthony's classes is "Computer Applications" & the first thing they are learning is KEYBOARDING!  Well, my little guy was very frustrated so I gave him some tips & I sat with him & we practiced & practiced until he felt a little more comfortable with it!  I had to remind him that they JUST started to learn this & it will take some time!  I remember when I learned how to, as they call it now "keyboard" & I remember learning on an actual "typewriter"!!! lol…. It's so funny how times have changed….right?  I am confident that Anthony is at school today with a smile on his face because he understands it a little bit better now! ;) & THAT makes me a HAPPY Mommy! ;)

Thank you ALL for stopping by! I hope you all have a FABULOUS day & I will see you all back here soon!  xoxo

P.S.  The COUNTDOWN has begun!!! We have exactly 5 more days til our ADORABLE "Sneaky Peeks" start!!!!!!  If you are like me & "FALL" is your FAVORITE season, then you should get HAPPY for this release because its a GOOD one!!! :)

MCT 41st Edition Sneaky Peek #3

GOOD MORNING my sweet friends & welcome to our 3rd day of sneaky peeks from our 41st edition release!  I am SUPER HAPPY about today's peeks because we are showcasing 2 new sets! The first one is called "Jr. Rolled Flower Dies".  Do you remember our original Rolled Flower Dies here??  Well, our new Jr. ones coordinate w/this set beautifully! Ever since I came out w/the original set, I've had SEVERAL request for a medium size &  small size to coordinate w/them!  I am SUPER EXCITED w/the smaller version because NOW I can put them on my smaller tags & they look so PERFECT! ;)  You can see in my video below on how to put the flowers together!

Now, for these next 2 cards, this is a new set called "Love You Bunches".  This has a total of 10 stamps & 2 coordinating dies for the 2 flower stamps including in this set!  I created 2 cards so you can see how both of the flowers look! You can see how I put these cards together using my MISTI in the video below! I was inspired by this video HERE!  :)

Here is my video for you today!
