Popcorn ~ MCT 111th Edition Release & Blog Hop + 11th Birthday

 Hi, it's Gaylynn.  The My Creative Time 111th Edition release, sale and blog hop has begun.  We are also celebrating the 11th anniversary of My Creative Time.  Hooray!
For the blog hop, you may have arrived from Emily's blog.

Sentiment:  Smile

For this mini slimline card, I used the cute popcorn die as the focus. (There is also a tall version of this popcorn die available for the tall or longer slimline card styles.) I wanted the colors to be yellow, white and red. By die-cutting most of the layers, the card base and the envelope, everything was ready to assemble. Using extra tacky tape and foam tape, the card was layered and assembled, to finish.

Mouse tag card tutorial ~ very light stamping & watercolor shades

 Today, I am sharing a tag card featuring light stamping and watercolor.  The idea was a  vintage or storybook look for this tutorial.

Sentiment:  Sending hugs.

Helpful tips:

To create this look, begin by stamping with very light waterproof ink onto the smooth side of watercolor paper.  I used a stamp positioner to repeat the stamping a few times.  Next, add light watercolor to accent the stamping.  Once dry, die-cut the stamping to fit onto the card base.  To accent, add a sentiment, cording and Nuvo drops.  Finally, assemble the card layers, to finish.

Here is another look.

I made a quick video tutorial showing the process for this project.

BBQ Masculine Card + Copic markers & ink blending tutorial

 Masculine card making is easy with Unity stamps and color.  Today, on the Unity blog, I am sharing a way to add color to masculine stamping for a BBQ scene.

Sentiments:

King of the grill.  Happy birthday.
Wishing you a perfect day. 

For this card, I added Copics plus distress oxide ink blending to build color.  This complements the masculine card making process.

Helpful tips:

Here are helpful tips for this example of masculine card making.  To begin, stamp the grill items onto cardstock using Copic friendly ink.  Next, trim or die-cut the stamped panel to fit onto the card base.  Then, add ink blending in two colors around the edges of the stamped panel.  Next, add color to the grill stamping.  I used Copic markers for this example.  Optional, add a sentiment panel.  Finally, layer it all onto the card base, to finish.

Here is another card version.

I made a quick video tutorial showing the process for this project.
