My Creative Time 95th Edition Release, Sale and Blog Hop

Hello, it's Gaylynn here.  The My Creative Time 95th Edition release, sale and blog hop has begun.
You may have arrived from Emily's blog.

Sentiment:  For you!

For this envelope holder, I die-cut all of the elements.  I used a patterned paper accent for the center.  For the accents, I used white cardstock to make them pop against the darker colors.  I love all of the accent options in this die set.  For the bow, I used the small holiday bow die along with one adhesive rhinestone.  This is great for small notes, a gift card, a cash gift or small treats.  It is perfect as a favor wrap or gift card holder.

One layer card masking, ink blending and embossing.

Today for Technique Time for Unity, I am sharing a one layer card with masking, ink blending and embossing.

Sentiment:  Search always for those magical moments.

To begin, I masked with Post-It tape and then added three colors of distress oxide ink blending.  Once dried, I stamped and heat embossed the trees in silver.  Finally, the masking tape was removed and the card was assembled onto the card base.

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

Surprise! ~ Day 2 MCT 95th Edition Sneak Peeks

Hello, it's Gaylynn.  Here is a sneak peek of the My Creative Time 95th Edition release.

Sentiment:  Surprise!

This gift envelope was quick and easy to put together.  It is perfect for adding a mini note card, gift card or small treat.

I adhered the envelope together with extra tacky tape and then added the sentiment, heart and twine.  The paper is from an older planner of mine.  I love repurposing things, especially pretty pages like this one.

Holiday mailbox ~ Day 1 MCT 95th Edition Sneak Peeks

Hello, it's Gaylynn.  Here is a sneak peek of the My Creative Time 95th Edition release.

Sentiment:  May your season be merry and bright.

This is a mailbox shaped card, made from the mailbox gift card holder die by My Creative Time.  I love that it can be used as a card as well as a gift card holder.  I just die-cut the mailbox twice and adhered the panels together with a small score line.  For this design, I chose to add tiny letter envelopes to accent the mailbox.  I love how it turned out.

This card measures approximately 4 1/4" x 3".

Autumn foliage cards with a stamped card overlay.

Today for Technique Time for Unity, I am sharing a way to make your own card overlay with stamping and heat embossing.

Sentiment:  Thanks

To begin, I stamped using the Misti stamping tool and a VersaMark ink pad.  Then, I added copper color embossing powder over the VersaMark ink and heat set.  I also stamped and heat embossed a copper sentiment onto vellum.  A second card overlay was stamped with shades of ColorBox ink and then clear embossing powder was used.  The card overlay strips are approximately 1″ wide by 4 1/4″ long.  Finally, to finish, I layered everything and added tiny adhesive gems.

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