My Creative Time: Try Me Tuesday!

Happy Tuesday!

Today over at the My Creative Blog, it is Try Me Tuesday!

Today we are showing you cards that are made in the "slide puzzle" design. 

You know those puzzles with the sliding pieces and the picture is all jumbled up until you figure out the puzzle by sliding the pieces into the correct spots? That's the look that this technique brings to your cards. 

You can see a video on this technique by clicking HERE.

Here is the card that I created using this technique:

For my flowers, I used the flower stamp from the Fun Pockets set and randomly stamped that onto some white cardstock with VersaMark and then heat embossed it with some clear embossing powder. After it was embossed, I took some ink and rubbed it all over my card. I took a paper towel and wiped over the top of my card once I had inked it to reveal my flowers.  Once I had all my pieces cut and adhered to my card front, I cut out my frame and stamped the border by using the Fancy Frame Stamp & Die Set. My greeting came from the More Of My Favorite Sayings stamp set. I popped it up with some foam adhesive and added a few green gems. I love trying new techniques and I am so happy with the end result of my card. 

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today and taking a look at my latest creation!

I really appreciate it!

Today we are showing you projects that show the technique called Cluster Stamping.

It's basically where you heat emboss an image or sentiment and then stamp directly over that to completely cover it. Once your stamping is done, you gently wipe away the ink that is on top of the embossing to reveal your image or sentiment.

Here is the card that I created using this technique:

To create my card, I stamped the Happy Birthday found on the Polka Dot Surprise stamp set with some versamark ink and then heat embossed it with some clear embossing powder. I then took one of the circular shapes from the Build A Pretty Flower stamp set and stamped it randomly onto my white cardstock using different colors of ink. After I wiped off the extra ink that was laying on top of my sentiment, I added some ribbon to the corners and added a few iridescent sequins and voila!! Really simple card but the technique makes quite an impact!

MCT: Try Me Tuesday!

Hi crafty friends!

Happy Tuesday!

Today over at the My Creative Time blog, it is Try Me Tuesday!

The technique that we are trying today is Ghost Stamping. 

In case you don't know (like I didn't), Ghost Stamping is when you stamp your images in white and then stamp again but slightly offset so that some of the white shows through. 

Here is the card that I created for this Try Me Tuesday:

For my card, I stamped the flowers from the Fun Pockets set, first in white and then again in black. I then proceeded to color them in with some markers. I used the Curly Label die and the Stitched Curly Label Die for my sentiment and then I used some white embossing powder to make my sentiment from the It's All About You set pop off of the kraft cardstock. 

This was the first time that I tried this technique and I love it!!

It creates such a cool effect! I really like how some of the white peeks around the flower as well as inside the petals and leaves. 

Be sure to stop by the My Creative Time blog to see all the fabulous Ghost Stamping techniques that my wonderful DT sisters created.

Try Me Tuesday with MCT Dies!

Hi there and Happy Tuesday!!

Today over at the My Creative Time blog, it is Try Me Tuesday!

Today we are showing you different ways to use those My Creative Time dies. I love finding ways to use my dies other than what they may have been originally created for. 

Here is the card that I created:

For my card,  I wanted to see how I could use the Scallop & Stitched Circle die set a little differently. So I cut some of the scallops out of white cardstock and then cut them in half and adhered them to the back of my gray layer to create a fun little border going along the bottom. I then took the same scallop from the Scallop & Stitched Circle die set and cut it out of vellum 4 times. I stacked them together and put a brad through the middle to hold them all. Then I simply took each scallop circle and brought it up to the middle, crunching them as I went. After it was all crinkled and it had the look that I wanted, I simply added some glitter along the edges to give it a little sparkle. I am really pleased with how it turned out and I now have another way in which I can use my Scallop & Stitched Circle dies :) I also used the lowercase fun dies to create my greeting so that I could pop it up and have some of the patterned paper peeking through.  

Don't forget to head over to the My Creative Time blog to see all the fabulous ways that my wonderfully creative design team sisters came up with to help you get more out of your dies!
