TRY ME TUESDAY

GOOD Morning my sweet friends & welcome to another "Try Me Tuesday!"  

I was a little skeptical about this technique at first, but once I figured out my colors of ink, this card was the QUICKEST card to make EVER!!! :) So, today we all tried a technique called "Cluster Stamping!" Basically all it is just stamping randomly over an embossing sentiment that was embossed using clear embossing powder! To learn how to do this technique, you can see it here!  I had to think a little outside of the box for this because I first stamped the stamp that had the starts on it, but I realized that it had to be a solid stamp! So, I just turned that same circle star stamp upside down & used the other side for my solid circles! 

That's it….EASY PEASY!

MCT products used:

~ Circle Tab Sentiments

~ Things I love

Other products:

~ Simon say stamps inks: Sea Glass, Lemon Chiffon & Smoke

~ Sequins from my stash! :)

Made In Minutes

GOOD MORNING & welcome to another "Made in Minutes"! Today my team has done an OUTSTANDING job w/their made in minutes projects! Today we all challenge ourselves to create a project in 20 minutes OR less!  I know it sounds crazy because sometimes it takes LONGER than 20 minutes just to pick out paper! lol….. But it is possible my friends! 

Sorry my card took so long to go up, I forgot that my boys had a few appts this morning so I had to take care of that first! :) Okay, my card only took me 10 minutes to do! I had the circle already cut, so all I had to do was die cut the camera & the ticket! This was simple, all I did was took some cute papers from this new 6x6 paper pad "Capture Life", then trimmed them down to fit onto my standard size card!

MCT products used:

~ Stitched Camera Die

~ Camera Shy stamp set

~ Stitched fun ticket die

We are having a GREAT TIME & I am SO HAPPY they are done w/school because they sure needed a BREAK from homework! ;)  Well, Baby Aaron does have a summer assignment to do for one of his honor classes, but it's nothing compared to what he was doing!
