My Creative Time's August Stamp release BLOG HOP!

Welcome to the My Creative Time August Stamp Release BLOG HOP! If you came here from Katie's Blog you are in the right place, if not make sure you start at Emma's Blog so that you won't miss a bit of information or inspiration.

For my card project today I used the 'Mixed Holiday Greetings' and the 'Fancy Frame Stamp and Die Set.'

I had so much fun making this card. I used Core'dinations Cardstock for everything except for the peach and black paper. I inked all of the edges before assembling and those darling scare-crow faces are Peachy Keen Stamps, this particular set is no longer available for purchase but believe there are others available that will make darling scarecrow faces. I used the beautiful Fancy Frame and Die Set (I just cut it in half which was something I had seen my design team sister Katie do before). For the co-ordinating stamp for this die I only inked up some of the dots so that the sentiment would fit without covering the dots. Other than that, I added some chalk to the cheeks and a little bit of doodling and voila, a fun card for the upcoming fall.

Here are the pictures of Emma's New Releases that I used on this project:

Sneak Peek Day 3 - My Creative Time - August Release

Yay! Day 3, are you loving these beautiful stamps and dies?! I know I am! I can't wait for you all to see the full My Creative Time August release on Friday. For our projects today we are using an awesome stamp set called 'Small Talk.' I just love this set. It has an awesome dotted frame and a ton of perfectly sized sentiments for all year round. This set will be perfect for 3x3 cards, but can definitely be used for more than that. My card today is approximately 3 1/2" x 9 1/2".

This size of card looks pretty small on here because it is so wide, so I've zoomed in on each image for you...

I am SO excited to see what Emma and the other members of the My Creative Time Design Team have made with this awesome set. Make sure you stop by and check everyone's projects out. And once again here are the sneak peek rules for this week:
