Are you ready for another fabulous week of My Creative Time sneak peeks? These are just in time to add to your Christmas list! Today we are sneaking a fabulous new die set called Mini Greetings. It includes 8 phrases in a sweet font in an adorable little size.
Since Christmas is just around the corner, I knew I'd be needing some thank you notes. I love to make 4-bar size thank you cards (3 1/2" x 5"), and the little "thanks" die from Mini Greetings is just perfect for this! I smushed some Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Twisted Citron, Peacock Feathers, and Seedless Preserves, on my craft sheet, and then used a watercolor brush to paint a background on a 3 1/4" x 4 3/4" piece of Strathmore Bristol Smooth Surface Paper. I distressed the edges of this piece with a Tim Holtz Paper Distresser before adhering it to kraft card base. I then added the "thanks" die cut and some Pretty Pink Posh sequins.
I used the same technique for the second card, adding in Abandoned Coral, Dried Marigold, and Mustard Seed distress inks.
