My Creative Time :: We're Sorry!

If you're looking for my BIG GIVEAWAY post, click here!

Good morning! I've got a super quick card to share with you all this morning. My sister needed a card (like yesterday) so it had to be something quick, but still super cute. So look at this sad little sunflower!

I created the sunflower using the Warm Holiday Fun die from My Creative Time.
Now, this is totally not my idea, it came from my DT sister Kimberly over at Scrapin' Mom of one Inspiring Little Boy. :) You can see her original post here!

The sunflower stem was cut with my Expression 2 using the Stretch You Imagination cartridge. I printed the sentiment from my computer, and I forgot to take note of the font, but I really like it! You might be seeing more of it too! :)

Supplies:
PaperTrey Ink Vintage Cream cardstock
Misc Bazzill cardstock
My Mind's Eye Fiddlesticks 6x6 paper stack
Stretch You Imagination cartridge (sunflower stem)

Look at these fabulous new stamp sets and tag dies!

I've got three projects to show you, using all three new sets! I have to say, these are must have sets!

And the Just Tag dies aren't only for tags! You can certainly add them to a card too. For this super quick card, I just added some pattern paper and a stamp from the new Just For You stamp set onto the die. Super easy if you have a ton of Christmas cards to make. :)

And just look at this Crinkle Ribbon! I got this from 3 Girl Jam and it is the best I've used so far. The colors are perfect!

And last but not least, I've got to make some Halloween treats for my nephews and here's what I came up with! This is a little matchbook treat holder. I got the dimensions from the fabulous ladies over at Jaded Blossom: Candace and Michelle. It's super quick to make and Emma's Scallop and Stitched Circle die added the right finishing touch. :) I used quite a few of the My Creative Time stamp sets on this one, but it's all good, since ALL of Emma's stamp sets coordinate together!

This iPod cut is found on the Rock Princess Cricut Cartridge. Yes! I actually turned on the old Cricut to use on this project. I cut it with my Gypsy and E2. I finally have my E2 working correctly. (Knock on wood.) I still am having some issues with my Imagine, but I don't have all day to try and troubleshoot and fix the darn thing. :)

I created my own background with the Pink By Design Distressed Music background stamp and then inked up the edges with some Stampin' Up ink.

We've have three designers up for today on our mini blog hop.

Jeanne (That's me!)

And...I've got something special, a video tutorial! Now, you have to go easy on me because this is my very first video...ever. :)

My technique today is called the Bouncing Brayer technique.

I've created two cards to using it. It's very easy to do and I love the look it gives a project! I saw this technique on YouTube a while back, so it's not brand new, and I can't take credit for it. It's an oldie, but a goodie!

My first card I made for my oldest son, who is getting ready to test for his blue belt in Kenpo karate here anytime. He's got all the forms and techniques, he just can't test until his instructor says. :)

Supplies:

PaperTrey Ink black and white cardstock

Stampin' Up Glossy white cardstock

My Creative Time Black Belt

My Creative Time Sports Sentiments

My Creative Time My Little Firecracker

My Creative Time Build A Banner

Stampin' Up Pacific Point ink pad

Stampin' Up Notebook edge punch

StazOn Jet Black ink pad

And my second card...

Supplies:

PaperTrey Ink black and white cardstock

Stampin' Up Glossy white cardstock

Stampin' Up Calypso Coral cardstock

My Creative Time Soccer

My Creative Time Sports Sentiments

My Creative Time My Little Firecracker

My Creative Time Build A Banner

Stampin' Up Calypso Coral ink pad

Stampin' Up notebook edge punch

StazOn Jet Black ink pad

I hope you've enjoyed my video and I can't wait to see some projects created using this technique!

I want you...baaaaad!

Good morning! What a wonderful Monday morning...right?! Okay, you know I'm kidding.

Today, I'm sharing an anniversary/love card with you. My anniversary is tomorrow (13 years!), but I wanted to share this card today. ;)

I created the base (5x5) in Silhouette Studio with a simple stamp shape. One of the top layers was also a cut file within the shape, and to add the additional layers I just used the offset feature.

This little sheep is from the Lettering Delights Love Pets SVG files. Isn't it just so cute?! And I loved the little saying that went along with it, but I wanted to use a My Creative Time stamp and die.

And...the inside of the card. ;)

Supplies:

PaperTrey Ink black, white, and pure poppy cardstock

My Mind's Eye Love Me 6x6 paper stack

Core'dinations
