My Creative Time January Sneak Peek #1


Are you ready for another exciting week of My Creative Time Sneak Peeks?  There is so much fun in store for you!  Today I'm giving you a peek at an image from one of Emma's brand new sports stamp sets,  Soccer.  I'm so excited to have this set, since I have lots of soccer pics to scrap from when Eric was little.  I also have nieces and nephews who are just starting out their soccer careers, and how fun is it to be able to make cards for them?  I thought that this girl soccer player was so cute, so I went ahead and used it to make a card that I can send to one of my nieces in the fall.



This window card can easily be designed in a Gypsy, Cricut Craft Room, Design Studio, etc.  I made mine using the Silhouette Studio software, because I like the feature in there that will center shapes within shapes for me.  When I made my window inside of the larger rectangle, it centered it for me perfectly! The kraft card base is 4 1/2" x 11", scored at 5 1/2".  The black layer is 4" x 5 1/4", and the patterned layer is 3 3/4" x 5".  Both of these layers have a rectangle cut out from them that measures 2 3/4" x 2 1/4".  I also made the black frame by using that same size rectangle for the interior and a 3 1/4" x 2 3/4" rectangle for the exterior.  I adhered all of the layers together, tied a bow around them, and used pop dots to attach them to the card base, for some extra dimension.



Before adding my layers, I used Versamark in to stamp My Creative Time's cool Script Type Background (this will also be released this Friday) on the kraft card base.  I then stamped the girl from Soccer on top.



Here's another sneak!  This cute little tag die is from Emma's Teeny Tag Greetings, also being released this Friday.  Don't you just love it? It's perfect for the "Eat, Sleep, Play" sentiment from Soccer!

With all of our Sneak Peek Weeks, Emma likes to do some FUN giveaways!  To have chances to win, all you have to do is leave comments on our blogs!  You do NOT have to comment on every blog, but if you do, you will have MORE chances to win!
