Tag it Tuesday - Spring Theme!

Happy Tuesday, and welcome to another edition of Tag it Tuesday. This week we are using spring as our theme. I decided I wanted to make BIG tag. So I started with a 4x5 inch cardstock base and simply cut off the sides at the top.

 Here's a closer view.

I used the Hello Chickie stamp set for the sentiment, sending you springtime smiles; the largest of the stitched sweetheart dies, and for the center of my large flower {can you guess?} one of the winter flakes dies!!!

The border along the bottom is the larger of the bracket dies, on paper I inked in a plaid pattern using Hero Arts soft cantaloupe, soft olive, and TH Distress ink, scattered straw.

Thrifty Thursday w/ a Sketch

For today's card, I've used a sketch with scraps and leftovers.

For my card I used the arrow die, trimmed, from the 4x4 Journaling Die+ More, to make my flag....

...and for my sentiment box, I used the large square speech bubble, and the arrow again. My message comes from the Girls' Night Out stamp set.

Whatever Wednesday -

Happy hump day and happy make whatever you want day at My Creative Time. I decided for my project today to make these simple Easter bags for the kidlets. I didn't have white bags, which would have been prettier, but they won't care considering there is CANDY and TOYS inside! LOL

 I started by making the bunnies. Didn't they turn out cute! The base shape, the body, is the My Creative Time Easter egg die. Everything else is simple oval and circle punches. Oh except the nose, which is the larger heart from the confetti die that comes with the 4x4 Journaling Die+ More. I cut the tooth shape by hand, and drew the face and paws by hand. Stamp the name, or add a tag if you'd rather, add the adorable bow die (any of the three sizes available) and done.

Try Me Tuesday - masking

Today we're using a masking technique for our Try Me Tuesday. Masking is fun, and can make a huge impact. If you search pinterest for 'masking tape technique' you'll find lots of ideas.

For my card today, I used a cut-out to mask my card and inked inside the cut portion. Super simple and looks so nice when finished. It looks as if it is printed onto the paper, rather than simply inked.

Ink colors bottom to top: Distress Ink scattered straw, Hero Arts orange soda, and Distress Ink worn lipstick. Branch stamp from My Creative Time, Birthday Buddies; sentiment from I'm Here for you Rain or Shine stamp set. I hope you'll try masking!
