Read bookmark ~ Day 1 MCT 99th Edition Sneak Peeks

Hi there, it's Gaylynn here.  Here is Day 1 of the My Creative Time 99th Edition sneak peeks.



Sentiment:  READ

Today, I am showcasing a handmade bookmark.  This one includes a heart and "read" letters on a distress oxide background.  The top heart section moves back and forth to fasten the bookmark onto a book page.  This is a great little gift for almost anyone including teachers, classroom or for yourself.  It can easily be made into a gift tag by adding twine or ribbon at the top of the heart.

Birthday or celebration card using leftover scrap pieces.

Hi there.  Today, I am sharing a pink and blue feminine card using stamping, Copic markers and leftover scrap pieces.


Sentiment:  Today is all about you.

For this birthday or celebration card, I wanted to use some of my leftover craft pieces, which are too pretty to throw away.  I made a card a while back using watercolor and trimmed away the piece that I am using today.  I also used an excess die-cut piece and excess cardstock for stamping.  The girl was stamped then colored in with Copics and the sentiment was die-cut.  To finish, everything was layered and assembled as if they were meant to fit together.  

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

Crafty girl planner page art with Copic markers.

Hello, it's Gaylynn.  Today, I am sharing a way to add art to your planner pages, journals or bible journaling.


Sentiment:  Hello crafty girl.

This journal page incorporates stamping, Copic coloring and fussy cutting.  I used a planner gal stamp and sentiment as the focus to decorate the margins of my January page.  Copic markers were used in colors that complement the existing page art.  I chose to fussy cut the crafty girl and die-cut the sentiment in layers.  To finish, I adhered everything to the margins.

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

Enjoy your day floral card ~ MCT Just Cards

Hello.  Today, the My Creative Time team is sharing card projects.  Here is my floral card for most occasions.


Sentiment:  Enjoy your day.

This is great for many occasions.  I used assorted flowers accented with Copic markers.

To begin, I die-cut the postage shaped background panel.  I also stamped and die-cut the sentiment.  Then, I stamped the flowers and leaves onto white cardstock.  The flowers were colored in with Copic markers.  Next, the flowers were die-cut.  Finally, everything was assembled to finish.

Vellum stamped Hugs no coloring card and video tutorial.

Hello, it's Gaylynn.  For Technique Time at Unity, I am sharing one way to make a quick and easy card with patterned paper, vellum, stamping and no coloring.



Sentiment:  Hugs

This is a sweet floral card made from pretty papers.  It is a quick and easy way to make cards with no coloring.  This can be used for most occasions like birthday, thank you, thinking of you, love, support or just because.  See below for details and a video tutorial.

Here are helpful tips for creating this no coloring project.  To begin, pre-cut or trim solid and patterned paper layers or cardstock to fit an A2 sized card base.  Then stamp or emboss onto sturdy vellum cardstock or solid cardstock with your choice of shape or sentiment.  Also, use ink for use with the paper type or medium that you are using.  Next, trim an overlay panel from the vellum stamping and tie cording around that panel.  Then, adhere the layers with clear double-sided tape.  Finally, add a little sparkle with adhesive gems, sequins or dots to finish.



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