Thoughts & Prayers Card ~ MCT Thoughtful Tuesday

Today, on the MCT blog, we are sharing Thoughtful Tuesday projects.
I am sharing a heartfelt card to have on hand for those times when someone needs a hug.
I included poppy flowers and a butterfly.

Sentiment:  You're in my thoughts & prayers.

This card was created as we remember both of our mothers.
It has been over one year since their passing and just six months apart.
They both loved to send and receive cards like this.

For this, I used MCT stamps and dies.  Watercolor was used on the flowers, the butterfly and the background.  I love the soft look of it.

Here is a closer look:

Supplies:  MCT stamps and dies (listed above); Ranger Archival ink and watercolor paper; Altenew watercolor and Pop Dots.

Pumpkin Decor ~ MCT 83rd Edition Release and Blog Hop

Hi, it's Gaylynn here with a Thanksgiving or Autumn pumpkin tag and cake pop table decoration.

It is the MCT 83rd Edition release, sale and blog hop.

You may have arrived from Emily's blog.

Here is a sweet way to add a personal touch to your Thanksgiving table place settings.  I made a pumpkin tag to place on the lace napkin ring.  And I made a coordinating pumpkin shaped cake pop holder.
It would be easy to write names on the napkin ring tags for seating assignments.  I chose to leave them blank for now.

Sentiment:  Just for you.

MCT products used:

Pumpkin Lollipop Holder Die
Made With Love

This is a cute table decoration or party favor for Autumn or Thanksgiving.  The pumpkin pop holder was die-cut and then the edges were accented with spiced marmalade distress ink.  The sentiment was stamped directly onto the pumpkin.  For the treat, I added a wrapped chocolate covered coconut macaroon on a pop stick.   A small treat can be adhered inside if you don't want to use a lollipop or cake pop.
