MCT Inspire Me Wednesday

Hello! It's Inspire Me Wednesday at MyCreativeTime today. I don't have a picture of my inspiration, I was just in the mood to make a Valentine. :) I used the super awesome Stitched Postage Frame dies for my panel. Then I used the hearts from the new You Touched My Heart set {my new fave hearts!} to make my shaker. I ombre inked the awesome new Love Die and covered it with wink of stella and glossy accents. I also used the Vintage Labels Die for the banner. 

Pop over to MyCreativeTime to see more projects! :)

Have a great day!

You Rock

Hello! Here is a card I made with the super cute/funny unicorn wearing crocs rocking horse illustrated by Collin Chan. Collin is the creator of the Periscope Art Challenge, and you can get this image and others for free by going HERE. :) Anyhoo, I colored this with my Copics, and fussy cut it out. I added lots of wink of stella, and glossy accents to the rockers. I put it on a wobble, so it really does rock. :)

I hope you have a HAPPY day!

Gingerbread girl gift box

Hello! I picked up this plain little gingerbread box {pack of 4} on sale at Joanns. I dressed it up with a face from the Snowmany Face Assortment set by PeachyKeenStamps. I used a white paint pen to draw around the body. Added some buttons and called it done. It was the perfect size to house the personalized stamp from Bossy Joscie that I had made for my Nana. She LOVED the stamp and the box. :)

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas!

Eat, Drink, and be awesome.

Hello! Happy Christmas Eve! This card I made for FUN using an ugly sweater of one of my favorite bands, Blackberry Smoke. Please don't anyone have a cow over what those horses are doing on the sweater! HA! Anyhow, I used the Ugly Sweater set by SimonSaysStamp to paper piece the sweater. I shaded it with Copics, and added some detail with a fine tip marker. The greeting is from the Sweater Words set by SimonSaysStamp. I did a little stamp surgery to make it say "and be awesome". :) I also used the Stitched Postage Frames dies and the Stitched Rectangular Frames And More Dies by MyCreativeTime. 

I got tickets to see Blackberry Smoke in February for myself for Christmas, and unfortunately I'll be rocking alone since the Navy will still have my man. But I'm super stoked to see them again. I LOVE THEM!!!!!! 

I hope you have a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS! My kitty Simba and me will be celebrating together this year. :)

Merry Christmas

Hello! Here is a card I made with a specific, fellow yellow loving friend in mind. I used the Stitched Rectangular Frames And More Dies from MyCreativeTime. I used distress ink and water to make my bokeh backgrounds. I silver heat embossed the tree from the Family And Friends set by Hero Arts. The Merry Christmas die cuts are from the Holiday Tags set by MyCreativeTime. I should say that I used the round ink blenders and water to remove color to make the light spots. Easy peasy. 

Happy Christmas Eve, Eve!

♥ Nikki ♥

May your days be merry and bright

Hello! I used the adorable Reindeer Games set by Mama Elephant for this card. I started by using the Stitched Rectangular Frames And More dies by MyCreativeTime to cut the panel. Then I used the super fun Stitched Interactive Window Trio die by MyFavoriteThings. I stamped and colored my images with Copics. 

And the sweet reindeer are hiding in there. Eek! :) The greetings is from an old PeachyKeenStamps set that is no longer available. 

I hope you have a MERRY day. :)

More Star Wars "Ugly" Sweaters

Hello! Here are 2 more of my Star Wars ugly sweaters. :) I again used the Ugly Sweaters set by SimonSaysStamp. I also used the Ugly Sweater Words set for the greetings on both cards. 

I also used the Bunch Of Fun Circles, Stitched Postage Frames, and Stitched Rectangular Frames And More dies from MyCreativeTime. 

I hope you're having a wonderful Monday.

Name that movie...card :)

I have had SO MUCH FUN making ugly sweaters! I again used the Ugly Sweater set by SimonSaysStamp for this one. I also used the Stitched Squares and Bunch Of Fun Circles Dies by MyCreativeTime. Do you know what movie that line is from????? Do ya???? A Christmas classic!

Ok, here's the scene...

p.s. I have more sweaters to come! Including more STAR WARS...which I am going to see this afternoon! :) 

It's beginning to look a lot like Star Wars! :)

Hello! Did you know that today is National Ugly Christmas Sweater Day? Well, it is. :) I combined the other super awesome thing happening today with it...STAR WARS!!! I googled ugly star wars sweaters, and printed some images. Then I futzed until I got them at sizes that would work. I used the vest from the Ugly Sweater stamp set by SimonSaysStamp. I paper pieced with what I had printed. :) Then I used my Copics to do shading. I used the Seasonal Greetings set from MyCreativeTime for the "with love" and "christmas". I used the Claire's ABC's by Lawn Fawn for the "AT-AT". This greeting goes with what is on the sweater vest, and is awesome if you love Star Wars. LOL I also used the Stitched Postage Frame Dies and the Stitched Rectangular Frames And More dies by MyCreativeTime. 

May the force be with you this Christmas.

Hello! It's time for another "Stamp of the Month" at MyCreativeTime. This month it's the Believe in Your Dreams set. I made this card for my Nana as a thank you for helping me hang some art in my living room when she was here. So I made the feathers look like the artwork.

Anyhoo, I gold heat embossed the feathers and painted them with distress inks. I used the Stitched Rectangular Frames and More dies and my new favorite Stitched Postage Frame Dies.

Believe in the magic of Christmas

Hello! I LOVE LOVE LOVE how this card turned out. :) I think it's the first time I've made a spinner element. So fun! I used the adorable Reindeer Games and matching dies by Mama Elephant for my spinner reindeer. I colored him and my little scene with my Copics. I made the scene with the tree from the Reindeer Games set as well. I masked off the circle for the scene and colored it. 

I used the AWESOME NEW Stitched Postage Frame Dies from MyCreativeTime. Seriously, these dies are so cool...and I think they're my new fave! :) I also used the Bunch Of Fun Circles Dies by MyCreativeTime for the circle in the front of the card, and for the masking on the inside. The greetings on the outside and inside are from the Boughs Of Holly set by MyCreativeTime. I used the Diagonal Stripe Stencil by SimonSaysStamp for the red on the front. OH, and I used clear thread that I got at Michaels for the spinner. :) 

I hope you have a FANTASTIC day!!!

♥ Nikki ♥

p.s. It's so fun to watch that little reindeer spin! :)

These are tags for gifts, but can be kept and used as ornaments! :)
