Got Candy?....{MCT Tag it Tuesday}

Good Morning everyone!!
It's Tag It Tuesday and I am sharing a sweet Halloween tag using the newest release Stamp/Die set~ Candy Corn Kisses
How adorable is that candy corn right??? 
To make my tag, I used the Just Tags die and some fun Doodlebug designs designer paper. 
Once I stamped and die cut the candy corn, I colored him using my copic markers. For some added cuteness, I stamped a face onto him using the You Make Life Sweet set.
My candy corn was then popped up onto the tag using some foam.
The sentiment, also from the new Candy Corn Kisses set, was stamped onto a tag die from the Fun Stitched Tag Dies set.
Some added homemade enamel dots using the new Nuvo crystal drops completed my tag.
For the gift bag, I used a small candy sack from Trendy Twine. I made an insert that slides into the bag and instead of having just a straight front panel on my insert, I used the More Stitched Edges Die.
The bag was filled with some candy corn and filler paper and then my tag was attached using a matching orange clothes pin.

Create Your Own Sunshine.....{MCT Favorite Stamp of the Month Redux}

Good Morning everyone!!
Today we are featuring another "My Favorite Stamp/Die of the Month" redux.
This month's set is "Create".  
 If this set has been  on YOUR wishlist, you can pick it up HERE at a discounted price!
Here is the card I had created using this FUN set! 
Such a bright and cheerful card, isn't it??
To make my card, I used the Bunch of Circle Dies to make my rainbow. After all the pieces of the circles were cut, I divided the whole piece in half to make my rainbow.
Next I die cut the "Create" sentiment and popped that up onto my rainbow. The other sentiment~also from the Create set was stamped onto the banner die from the Just Simple Live set. That was popped up also and placed in between the sun die cut!
Finally I finished my card with some rainbow sequins.

MCT 58th New Release BIG Reveal & Blog Hop

Good Morning and Happy Friday everyone!!
Welcome to the 58th New Release from My Creative Time!

You are not going to want to miss a thing! 

For my project, I get to showcase this releases FREEBIE set~
Happy Haunting
and here are the cutie Halloween suckers I made using this set. 
How fun are these?? I kinda wish my boys were younger so I could make more for them to hand out to their friends!! I love the way these turned out!!
So here is how I made them....I started with the Just a Note die to make the sucker holder. I folded it on the score line then scored it again about a quarter of an inch... that if you were to fold the entire piece it would make a square and leave enough room to comfortably place a sucker inside. 
Next I added a piece of designer paper die cut using the Stitched Squares set to layer into the note die. I pulled one of my favorite tag dies from the Holiday Tags set and stamped the sentiment from the new Happy Haunting set
That adorable ghost was die cut using some felt and the Stitched Spooky Ghost Die set. He was popped up onto the front of the tag and for his eyes I found these little enamel blings that worked perfectly!
Finally I filled each cover with a sucker and sealed it up with some Orange Licorice Trendy Twine.

58th New Release 
Today is the last day of sneaks before tomorrow's BIG reveal and Blog Hop!!!

Today the DT will be showcasing the new set~

and here is what I made using this set......
I made some Halloween Party invites using the new coffin dies that are part of this set. 
Aren't they AWESOME!?!?!?! I am totally in love with this set and project and can see having a Halloween party just to make more..LOL!!
To make my invites, I used the new coffin die set, the largest coffin shape for the card base and the layer which is die cut in the designer paper.
I embellished the front of the coffins with a rosette where I then stamped the new sentiment onto a circle die.
To finish off the invites, I wrapped some black crinkle ribbon around the top layer of the coffin die cut and tied it into a bow. Placed the rosette under the bow and added one of the new bat dies and some gold enamel dots.
The inside of the invite (which I forgot to take a picture of) has the same die cut as the top layer and then I stamped the party details

MCT 58th New Release Sneak Day 3

Good Morning and welcome to Day 3 of sneaks for the  
58th New Release 
Can you believe we are more than halfway done with the sneaks?

Today the DT will be showcasing this releases FREEBIE set~
HAPPY HAUNTING
and here is the card I made using it......
To make my card I used the adorable Halloween girl silhouette stamp as the focal point. I stamped her onto some designer paper and then die cut her out using an oval die. Another oval die was cut so I could mount her up onto my card base.
The card base was made using designer paper that I die cut using the Stitched Rectangular Frame Die. I die cut 2 more pieces the same size in purple and white and then used one of the Fun Stitched Edges for the stripes.
I stamped the sentiment from the same set and then embellished my card with some sequins, a die cut spider web  from the Wicked Fun Dies set as well as the matching spider.

MCT 58th New Release Sneak Day 2

Good Morning and welcome to Day 2 of sneaks for the  
58th New Release 
What did you think of yesterday's sneaks? Pretty awesome right?!?!?

Today the DT will be showcasing the new set~
Gobble Gobble
and here is the card I made using it......
I love pumpkin spice season and paired this new sentiment from Gobble Gobble with the adorable coffee cup die from the Coffee Break set. 
I also used the background sentiment from the Gobble Gobble set on my stitched squares. I heat embossed the sentiment and lightly inked them up so the embossing came through for some extra texture. 
I then die cut the embossed background out using the Stitched Squares. Once the coffee cup was cut, paper pieced and assembled, it was popped up onto the front of my squares. 
The sentiment was stamped and I felt it still needed something more so I used the leaf stamp/die, again from the Gobble Gobble set and popped those up onto my coffee cup.
Finally to finish off my card I used some brown enamel pearls.

MCT 58th New Release Sneak Day 1

Good Morning and welcome to the 
58th New Release 
sneak peek week from
The DT has an amazing week of sneaks to share followed by the new release BIG reveal and Blog Hop on Friday!I hope you will join us~ You are going to LOVE this month's new stamps and dies!!

Today's sneaks include the new set~
Candy Corn Kisses
and here is the card I made using it......
How fun is this new sentiment and candy corn stamp/die? 
To make my card I started with the sentiment from the new Candy Corn Kisses set and then built the card around it. I used the candy corn die cut, stamped the matching stamp onto pattern paper and then paper pieced it onto the die. Since I was focusing my card around the sentiment, I used one of the hearts from the Stitched Scallop Heart Die. 
For the "greater than" sign I actually took the "V" from You Touched My Heart and turned it onto its side. Pretty clever right??
Finally I popped up the heart and candy corn die cuts using some foam dots and embellished with some beautiful Autumn Sequins from Trendy Twine.

You Color My World....{MCT What a Treat Wednesday}

Good morning everyone and welcome to another
My Creative Time's What a Treat Wednesday!

The school year has started for many and my kiddos will be back to school in about 3 weeks so I thought I would focus my project around school time.
These would be so fun to make for the little ones (mine are too old to take these to their friends but trust me they wanted one...LOL)
To make my treat, I used a small resealable bag and filled it with a rainbow of crayons.
For the topper, I started with the Stitched Square die that fit the size of the bag and then die cut another one of the same size in white cardstock. I wanted to make the top layer of the topper look like a piece of paper so I stamped it using the Get Schooled stamp set. It still needed the paper "holes" on the side, which I got using the Fun Stitched Edges set.
The sentiment is  from the newly released Let's Paint the Town set (which I just LOVE and didn't realize until I was writing up my post that I used the same set and title of my post as the last one~oh well...see I really do LOVE this set!!)
Finally I added 2 small crayon die cuts that I found in the Silhouette store. They were sized down to the perfect embellishment for my topper.

You Color My World....{MCT Trending Now~Mixed Media}

Good Morning everyone!

I know I have apologized before but I am going to do it again and say I am so sorry I haven't been around in bloggy land lately.  With the kids home this summer their activities have kept me SO busy. Between baseball and football there is barely enough time for me to go grocery shopping...LOL! The kids will be back to school soon and I promise I will be making my rounds on a regular basis. Please hang in there with me for a few more weeks...LOL!!!

Anyways, thanks for stopping by today for another
Trending Now with My Creative Time!

Today we are getting inky and doing some Mixed Media using My Creative Time stamps and dies!
I have to be honest and say I am not really sure I did this right but following in the footsteps of Tim Holtz I got inky and had a blast creating my tag.
Take a look and let me know what you think :)
To make my tag I started out my heat embossing the Best Friends Background using clear glitter embossing powder.Its hard to see in the pic but the embossing is so pretty!!
Next I got inky and created a rainbow over top the embossing with a mix of Tim Holtz Distress Inks. Keeping up with the inking, I used the paint brush swoosh in the new Let's Paint the Town set and stamped it using black ink directly over all the colors. I wiped off the extra ink so you could see the background through the inking too. Such a fun background this created!
For the sentiment and paint brush, I used the same Let's Paint the Town set. The sentiment was stamped onto white cardstock and hand cut. I then layered it on some kraft cardstock and again hand cut it out. It was then popped up onto the tag with some foam.
The paint brush was die cut and for some extra texture I stamped the handle with the Grainy Background stamp set. The paint part of the brush was inked up using some Distress Ink .
Finally to finish up my tag, I took some white crinkle ribbon and inked it up using the same colors from the tag. Love how the crinkle ribbon can be colored to match a project!!
