Fangtastic Day - Dreaming Tree King Of The Castle Card

Hello everyone!  I've been wanting to make this Halloween castle card from Dreaming Tree's new bundle King of the Castle.  There are three wonderful projects in this kit great for many occasions, I just love Halloween so I had to make mine up as Bran Castle.

The stamps and dies are from My Creative Time, Too Cute To Spook and Wicked Fun.  I used some embossing folders on the castle to create that textured look and inked it up with some distress ink.  Just a fun spooky project!!

Look For The Miracles - Simon Says Stamp June Card Kit

Hello, my Simon Says Stamp June Kit of the Month came a couple of days ago and I finally had a chance to made this card.  I love the whimsical flowers and the large scripty sentiment in the Look For The Miracles stamp set.  There are two gel pens in the kit, I had a yellow and peach which I used on the card along with my Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers.

I stamped a bunch of the flowers and leaves, colored them in and than cut them out with my Brother ScanNCut2, definitely makes the job quicker and much easier.

My Creative Time's 55th Release Sneak Peek Day 1

Hello Everyone, Welcome to the 55th Edition of My Creative Time's Sneak Peeks.

This is such an awesome release and today is one of my favorites.

We are showcasing the Greatest Handyman Set!

I've always been surrounded by men, I have two older brothers and me, no sisters, I have four sons and my husband, so this handyman set will be used very often. I knew when I say the toolbox stamp and die I wanted to make a treat holder and the box bottom of the Treat Slider Box was perfect to use for this. After I cutout the piece I trimmed it down to 3" and than scored the cut side at 2 1/2" snipping the ends so it can be glued like the other side. I cutout two toolbox pieces, stamped the sentiment and than glued both pieces to the box bottom, super simple and I just love how it came out. I had these bags for awhile but I believe they are these ones from Annie's Paper Boutique, they fit perfectly in the box, they twine is also from the store.

For the pegboard I just used my crop a dile and punched some wholes in the Stitched XL Label Die, I cut another in black and glued them both down onto the red XL Label Die

Spread Your Wings And Fly! - Dreaming Tree

Dreaming Tree's new You're Invited SVG Bundle is made up of three cards with beautiful cutouts one being a butterfly.  I loved it so much I used the cutout pieces to make a shaped card in SSDE.

For the colorful layer I used my Color Burst, I'm still getting use to these.  When I'm working with them I don't like how it looks but when dried I love it, I also use some on the flower.  The sentiment is from MCT's Live Love Laugh and Be Happy set.  A couple people have ask, I do all my work in an older version of Silhouette Studio Designer Edition, save it as an svg and cut it out on my Brother ScanNCut2, I love this machine, cuts great but the stamp, scan and cut is totally awesome and it's super quick!!

Sunshine - My Creative Time Inspire Me Wednesday

It's Inspire Me Wednesday at My Creative Time and I have a card to share with you.  My inspiration came from Jennifer Rzasa's beautiful card that I absolutely fell in love with, hop on over and take a look at hers here.  I adore the Build A Sunray set and that's why I was so drawn to Jennifer's card.

I kept my card basically the same just using MCT products.  The sentiment is also from the Build A Sunray set and the sun and clouds is from You Are My Sunshine set.  I added a one of the circles from the More Stitched Circles dies behind the sun and cut out the card layer with the Stitched Rectangular Frames and More die.

Baby Shower Umbrella Treat Centerpiece - Dreaming Tree

I've wanted to make this project since the Dreaming Tree release the

Daffodilly Spring SVG Bundle.  I absolutely love all three of the projects in this bundle, which also can be bought separately.  My Son and Daughter in law are having a baby boy so this is perfect!

I left off the top of the Egg to make it look more like an umbrella and just used the daffodil inside as the handle and added a blue bow.  I didn't join the rosette together, I left a hole in the center so I could glue the umbrella tilted, it sat better this way.

The paper collection I used is an older one by Carta Bella Paper Baby Mine Boy, it's so cute.

Mother's Day Card Challenge - Vote For Your Favorite

I made this card for a Mother's Day challenge over at the Paper-Garden.ca, check out the link to get all the details to enter.  There is a nice prize to the store which sells beautiful paper and cardstock, I used some on the card below and totally love it.

I used My Creative Time dies and the cardstock cutout beautifully and the sheets I have are a nice weight, some heavier, between 80lb and 105lb. Love the shine on some of the sheets and the blue is a linen which I love.  I'll list what I used down below.  The only pieces that is not from Paper-Garden are the top and bottom layers for the sentiment and cardbase.

Teacher's Pillow Box Treat - Simon Says Stamp May Card Kit

Finally opened my SSS Card Kit for this month, such cute stamps and I love the Lawn Fawn Perfectly Plaid Paper.  I made this cute teacher's gift pillow box that I cut out with my Brother ScanNCut.  I also used it to cut out the stamped images, save so much time if you don't have the matching dies.  The SSS cardstock that comes in the kit I used Sunshine, cuts out beautifully with the cutting machine, I really never used it before with it cause I use mostly American Crafts Textured Cardstock but I really like the thickness and it's a change from the textured.

Adding this to Simon Says Stamp Anything Goes Wednesday Challenge.
