Altered Mini Clip Board

Hello friends!  For My Creative Time's 3D Wednesdays Emma asks us to do a project that is anything  but a card or layout.  Today I altered a Mini Clipboard.  I don't know if I will be able to give this one away. I will at least have to keep it in my scrap room for a while so I can look at it!!

I started with a little clip board I purchased a while ago.  First I sanded it a little and removed the hardware.  Next painted the sides with a dabber.  (I LOVE those.  They go on easily and dry very quickly)  Then I cut the paper to fit and Mod Podged it on with 3 coats.  After it dried I put the hardware back on.
The roses are made from MCT's new Rolled Flower die along with the XL Label die and sentiment from "Just a little not to say", all available here.

The Branch Pencils are a little package I picked up at Marshalls.  I wish I had gotten all of them because when I went back to the store they were all gone :(   Later in the week I will post some more pencil tags I made to tuck in my children's school bags.

My Supplies:

Just a Little Note to Say, Whimsical Calendar Days and Teeny Tag Greetings Stamp Sets

XL Label die and Rolled Flower die

Rose Thank You Tag - My Creative Time's April Release Sneak Peek #3

Good Morning!  Today is Sneak Peek #3 of MCT's April Release.  I made a Thank you tag with Emma's incredible new Flower die and Floral Sentiments stamp set.  This die makes flowers so quick and easy to create AND you pick your own colors!  It is so nice not having to try to match and purchase flowers for a project!

The flocked paper I used for the roses had no name on it.  I have been saving it for so long that I have no idea where it came from :(.  The leaves were a bit bright as is so I pressed them into platinum color ink to soften up the color.

Supplies I Used:

My Creative Time New Release Flower dies and floral Sentiments Stamp Set

Manila Tag  -  Ranger

Lost and Found Two, Blush  -  My Minds Eye

Flocked Paper from my stash
