MCT Sneaks Day 2

Hiya! Welcome to day 2 of sneaks for MyCreativeTime. Today we are sneaking the new Stitched Window & Accessories Dies and the Window Sentiments & Flowers stamp set. The dies can be used in many ways, but I've made the same card 2 ways to show you the frame on the inside and on the outside. This first card shows it on the outside, as if outside looking in. 

The greetings on both cards are from the new Window Sentiments & Flowers set. I also used the Stitched Rectangular Frames & More die set for these cards. Here is the card showing the window frame on the inside...

This way it's as if you're inside looking out. :)

MCT Sneaks Day 1

Hello! Today is day one of sneaks for MyCreativeTime. Today we are sneaking the new Stitched Oval Dies. I've used them to create a simple shaker card. All white, with just a pop of color with blue sequins inside. 

I used the hello die from the Speech Bubble Sentiments set. And I'll leave you with a trick to get your oval {or circular} card to stand up. Just snip a little bit off the inside center of the card. :)

German Shepherd Sympathy Card

Hello. I wanted to share this card I made for a friend who recently lost her beloved German Shepherd, Sasha. I used THIS cut file from the Silhouette Store. As usual, I glued all my sequins down with glossy accents. 

The sequins are iridescent, so they change in the light. 

I hope you're having a nice evening. Remember to hug your furbaby. :)

MCT Inspiration Wednesday-Celebrate The Season

Hiya! It's Inspiration Wednesday at MyCreativeTime. I was inspired to make this card when I came across this adorable embossing folder that I have never used...and forgot I even had! It's from a set of 2 embossing folders called Dearly and Frost by Sizzix/Basic Grey. I cut my circle out, and then embossed it. Then I made it into a shaker. I made the ring around the shaker with the Bunch Of Fun Circles Dies. The greeting is from the Winter Cheer set by MyCreativeTime. Super simple card, but really striking in real life. :)

Autumn is a second Spring...and a SALE! :)

Hello! For my card today I used the Clear Canning Pint Jar from PeachyKeenStamps. I stamped and gold embossed it with Ranger Super Fine Detail gold embossing powder. I stamped and heat embossed the leaves from the Clearly Autumn Pint Jar Contents set in the jar. {pssst. this set it on sale} I watercolored the jar, lid, and leaves with distress markers and water. For the lid I used antique linen. For the jar I used tumbled glass. 

For the leaves I used spiced marmalade, ripe persimmon, worn lipstick, picked raspberry, and seedless preserves. To ground the jar, I used weathered wood. I also gold embossed the greeting from the Clearly Autumn Pint Jar Contents set. Again, that set is on SALE!

MCT Tag It Tuesday

Photo Credit

Hiya! It's Tag It Tuesday at MyCreativeTime. Today we have the above photo/color combo for inspiration. I basically went with the masculine theme for my tag/card today. :)

I made my tag with the 3 Stitched Star Dies by MyCreativeTime. I stamped it and the card base with the Grainy Wood Background. The patterned papers are from the Boys Rule 6x6 pad by Crate Paper. 

The greeting is from the It's All About You set by MyCreativeTime. I finished off the card with some woodgrain sequins from the Atlantic pack by Studio Calico. I think these sequins count at masculine since they are woodgrain. ;)

Welcome to the world, Mila Joy!

Hello! My BFF Melissa welcomed her sweet princess into the world 2 weeks ago. I'll give you a minute to stare at the cuteness and say awwwww. :) Isn't she just the most perfect little baby you've ever seen??? Eek! :) Ok, Here is the card I made to welcome her to the world. 

The most perfect baby in the world also has the most beautiful name! I designed this in Cricut Craft Room. I used the Cherry Limeade cartridge for the name, and Cricut Craft Room Basics for the heart. I glued sequins for almost 4 hours. Me in my total happy place. ♥ 

♥ Nikki ♥

p.s. Melissa, if you're reading this, I wish I could convey how incredibly happy I am for you. There just aren't words. I love you.
