MCT Tag It Tuesday

It's Tag It Tuesday at MyCreativeTime. I used the Tag Die Layers set to make the shaker tag. I used the Stitched Honey Comb Dies to cut the white hexagons on the panel. I cut it a few more times in different colors, and used just a few colored hexagons to fill in here and there.

MCT Made in Minutes

Hello! It's Made In Minutes Monday at MyCreativeTime. I used the Stitched Honey Comb dies to make this card. I cut it in a few colors so I could fill in the pattern to make a flower. :) Easy peasy! The greeting is from the Hello Chickie set. I masked off part of the greeting to get just this bit.

Snappy St. Patrick's Day

Hiya! I made a fun/non traditional St. Patrick's Day card today. It's a little weird, but so am I. ;) I colored the alligator/crocodile from the Critters Down Under set by Lawn Fawn with my Prismacolor colored pencils. I made my custom greeting with the Claire's ABC's set by Lawn Fawn. I stamped the tone on tone background with the Lucky Day Shamrock Background from PeachyKeenStamps. 

I hope you're having a great weekend.

Wishing you the luckiest...

Hello! Happy Friday to you! :) The super fabulous Kathy Racoosin has a fun month long color "challenge" going on over at her BLOG. The idea is to color something every day for 30 days. Fun, right?! I had some fun coloring this sweet elephant from the  Unforgettable set by Wplus9. BTW it's back in stock! Yay! :) I colored him with prismacolor colored pencils. I watercolored the scene with distress inks and water. I turned the flower from the Unforgettable set into a clover. :) I used the Bunch Of Fun Circles and the Stitched Rectangular Frames And More dies from MyCreativeTime. The greeting is from the I'm A Lucky Girl set from MyCreativeTime.

MCT Designer Challenge

Photo Credit 

Hello! It's time for another Designer Challenge at MyCreativeTime. This time we have the above photo/color combo as inspiration. Here is my card...

I stamped the card base with the Grainy Wood Background. The "wreath" was cut from the Sweethearts Cricut Cartridge with my Cricut Explore. I inked it with mint julep Hero Arts shadow ink. I cut the eggs with the dies in the Hello Chickie set. I inked them with soft pool and soft cantaloupe Hero Arts shadow ink. The bunny was cut with the die in the To My Best Peep set. The greeting is from the Hello Chickie set. I added sequins to finish it off.

MCT Inspiration Wednesday

Hello! It's Inspiration Wednesday at MyCreativeTime. For my cards today I was inspired by THIS tutorial that I got in an email. I've wanted to try a "bokeh" card for a long time. I don't have white pigment ink, so I used white acrylic paint instead. For this first card I used picked raspberry, ripe persimmons, and squeezed lemonade distress inks. I wanted my bokeh to be bright! :) I used the Bunch Of Fun Circles Dies for the bokeh dots and for my greeting circles. I used the Fun Lowercase Dies for the greetings on both cards. And the "2" is from the Number Fun Dies. And after I made this card, I had to try a rainbow version! :)

Yay! RAINBOW! :) For this one I used distress reinkers. I used worn lipstick, dried marigold, squeezed lemonade, shabby shutters, tumbled glass, and shaded lilac. Again, I used the Bunch of Fun Circles dies for my bokeh dots stencils. :) OH, and I used the Stitched Rectangular Frames And More Dies for the card panels. This was super fun...and messy. ;)

Happy Birthday Dino

Hello! I made this card for the Lawn Fawn/Simon Says Stamp Flickr Co Challenge. The challenge is to use their products, and incorporate kraft. I stamped and paper pieced the dinosaur from Lawn Fawn's Critters From The Past set. And for the greeting I used the Hello You set from Simon Says Stamp. I turned the "O" into a balloon, and tied it to the dino's tail.  :) 

I hope your week is off to a great start. 

♥ Nikki ♥

p.s. Forgot to mention that I stretched the dino's neck a little. One of the many reason why clear stamps totally rock! ;)
