Did you ever type the number 07734 in your calculator and flip it over to reveal the word, hello? I used to do this all the time as a kid. Anyway, my husband and I were discussing all the words we used to type on the calculator and it inspired me to use the number dies in a not so traditional way by creating the word "hello" with them. 

For the base of my card along with the background mat, I used the Stitched Rectangular Frame Dies. Then I cut out the word "hello" in the mat using the new Pretty Bold Number Dies. I used the same dies along with some scraps to cut out the colorful letters. I inlaid each letter and then added some Wink of Stella to them to add a bit of shimmer.

My Creative Time: Inspire Me Wednesday

Hi, today is Inspire Me Wednesday over on the My Creative Time blog.

I found my inspiration on Pinterest of these amazing stamped wood chips by the talented Jennifer McGuire. You can find the link HERE. She is so creative and so inspirational!

When I saw her creations it gave me the idea to create some of my own using the adorable new Home Sweet Home Stamp Set along with a couple other great MCT sets.

I found small little wood chips at Hobby Lobby. I really like how they already had the rope hangers on them. They didn't have a ton of room on them for stamping but that is ok, since I just wanted to create a fun little scene on each one.

I used all of the mushroom stamps from the Home Sweet Home Stamp Set to stamp on each of the wood chips. I wish I had the amazing Prisma Colored Pencils she used but I had to make do with the Pentalic Water Color Pencils I had on hand. I then colored each one and filled the dots in with a White Gel Pen. I then stamped and paper pieced the little grass images from the same set.

Next, I masked a couple of the mushrooms to stamp on the adorable little lady bugs from the Hey There Little Lady Stamp Set. I know lady bugs are usually red but I wanted to add some color. So for this project they are yellow and blue.

 The wood chip with the smaller mushrooms still had a bit of space at the top and I knew I wanted to add a butterfly some how. So I used the little butterfly from the Chunky Jar Accessories Stamp Set. This is a solid image and when I stamped it on it just didn't look right compared to the other images. So I used a Memento Tuxedo Black pen to outline the butterfly to match the other images.

I added some moss I had on hand to the bottom to really give the images some life. I finished each one by adding some Clear: Wink of Stella to the each image.

Mine may have not be as amazing as hers but I love how they turned out! I'm so grateful for her wonderful inspiration and tutorial she shared. These will be so fun to give away or to add to my plants this summer. Looking forward to creating more in the future!

My Creative Time: 52nd Edition Release: Sneak Peeks: Day 1

Hi, and welcome to day 1 of sneak peeks for the My Creative Time: 52nd Edition Release! Today, we are the sneaking the fabulous In Stitches Die (Release Freebie) along with the beautiful You're My Lucky Charm Stamp Set. 

When I saw the fun new freebie die, I automatically thought of baseball stitching. So I created a frame using the In Stitches Die (Release Freebie). Then by taking just a regular red ink pen I went back over each stitch to make them look like red baseball stitches. I really love how the red stitches compliment the adorable little boy from the You're A Hit Valentine Stamp Set.

I love creating these fun rainbow jars for St. Patrick's Day. I even get my kids involved by separating the Skittles colors out. Though I have to make sure they don't eat too many in the process or the jars would never get filled. :) 

I thought the You're My Lucky Charm Stamp Set would create an awesome tag that I could add to the jar. It is the perfect touch and how gorgeous is the silhouette? I love this beautiful new stamp set. I know you will too!!
