Monday Madness...Imagine That - Sail Boat Valentines

Good Monday Morning!  I hope everyone had a fabulous weekend!  Today is Monday Madness at My Creative Time.  I don't have an imagine so I used some of the way too huge amount of patterned paper I own.  I know I am a paper hoarder.  I have been trying to buy any new paper in 6 x 6 pads so I can use it up faster.  We'll see how that works, lol!!!

For my projects today I am using Emma's stamp set "More Gift Card Sentiments".   I used 2 of the sentiments on my sailboats.  These stamps are perfect for the Gift Card Holder die or as sentiments on your other projects!  I also used Emma's "Teeny Tag Greetings and dies" stamp set.  I cut off the flag on the top of the boats and substituted these cute little die cuts with sentiments.

Supplies I Used:
"More Gift Card Sentiments" and "Teeny Tag Greetings and dies" stamp sets
My Creative Time
PK-450 Wide Eyed Kids Face Assortment  -  Peachy Keen Stamps
Gypsy and Gypsy Wanderings Cartridge
Marachino, Bossom and Pink Sorbet Twine  -  The Twinery
Vintage Photo and Festive Berries Distress Inks
Crystal Stickles
Heart Eyelets  -  Recollections

I hope you enjoyed my cards today.  There is more inspiration for you over at My Creative Time.  Have a wonderful day and week.
Love and Hugs,
Cathryn :)

Favorite Stamp of the Month with My Creative Time

Good Morning!  Today is My Creative Time's first Stamp of the Month Link Party!  The Stamp set this month is "You Had Me At Chocolate"!

Today I made a card with a vintage postcard.  My Mom gave me a package of Birthday Postcards she found from the 1970's.  I remember she mailed one to me on for my Birthday so I would get my own mail!!!

I used this picture from the stack because I thought it would be how my husband and I would have looked together if we had known each other when we were kids.  Me always wearing pink and him with his gorgeous blue eyes!!!  We only grew up a few miles from each other but we never met until our twenties.

My Supplies:

You Had Me At Chocolate Stamp Set  -  My Creative Time

Vintage Postcard

Monday Madness...Imagine That with My Creative Time - Valentine Cupcake

Happy Monday!  Welcome to a new Monday Madness..Imagine That with My Creative Time.  Today we made cards with the colors Teal, Red and Chocolate Brown.  I am showcasing Emma's Stamp Set and die "100% Sweetness".  This is a lovely set with lots of great images and sentiments!

I used the heart die (which is included in the set) and stamped the love words on it.  Then I used some UTEE (ultra thick embossing enamel) and embossed it 3 times.  I wanted to emboss the cupcake wrapper also but my UTEE has disappeared while I am redoing my craft area!!!  The cupcake is from Simply Charmed Cricut Cartridge.  I trimed off the cherry in order to put the heart on instead.  The great sentiment is from the "100% Sweetness" also.

Supplies I Used:

100% Sweetness Stamp Set w/die  -  My Creative Time

Twitterpated Collection Paper  -  Imaginisce

Pure Poppy, Hawaiin Shores and Dark Chocolate Cardstock  -  Papertrey Ink

Simply Charmed Cricut Cartridge for Cupcake cut at 5.50

Sweethearts Cricut Cartridge for layer shapes cut at 5.04 by 3.90 and 5.50 by 4.25
