MCT 33rd Release Blog Hop: Sit Back & Relax

by Veronica

Oh how I love Release Day at My Creative Time! It's so much fun to see all of the fabulous, out-of-the-box ideas the designers have with the new goodies. You've probably arrived here from Kim's blog. If not, head on over to Emma's blog to start this Hop from the beginning.


Today I'm showcasing the new set, Sit Back & Relax. I'm sure you've been drooling over it since last week when we sneaked it for the Flip Flop Blog Hop. This card is for my sister-in-law and her family who just moved away from Michigan to Florida. Oh, I'm sure the weather is just terrible down there!!! I'll be sending this card along with some family photos for them to put up in their new home.

The chair and umbrella image on my card is actually a recycled piece from an anniversary card The Hubs and I received from my Grandma last week. (3 years and counting!) When we opened the card, I knew it would fit well with this set and thought it would be fun to try a new color combo.

There is a LOT of dimension on this card. Some of the pieces are popped up more than once. You can see here that I popped up only the front of the sandal strap pieces to resemble real sandals. The back portion of those pieces are just glued to the sandal soles. I even slightly bent the "in-between-the-toes" pieces down.

Lately, I've been creating a lot of CAS (clean and simple) cards, so it was fun to 'doll' this one up and use a lot of pieces.

Sit Back & Relax (sandals, sentiment) NEW!

  23. There is a lot going on with this months release and not just all of the projects the designers come up with...I know they are busy trying to get everything made for the release week. This release could be 4 different releases. They are all wonderful and gottahaveit! I like that you used a card you received to make this beautiful card. I love the bright yellow and cool blues...reminds me of a certain university with an M ;) I like the piercing on the edge. This bright happy card should cheer up your sister-in-law in that terrible weather. Sorry they left the mitten but will give you a place to visit in winter maybe! Fabulous job on your card.
