MCT 78th New Release Sneak Day 1

Good Morning and welcome to day 1 of sneaks for the
78th New Release from

My Creative Time!!

Today the DT will be showcasing the adorable new set~

You're All Write

Take a look at my inspiration using this set....

Ok now isn't that pencil just the CUTEST!!

I have 2 projects to share using this set. The first one is a mini post it note holder.

I have made these several times in the past and just LOVE how fun they are to make and share. I used the directions for the post it note that can be found HERE on my blog (there are actually a few different kinds of post it note holders found here too)

I added the designer paper from the  Cool Kid paper pack from Crate Paper for the lined paper which was die cut using the Stitched Squares Inside & Out set.

The sentiment is from the new You're All Write set which was stamped right onto the lined paper.

That cutie pencil, also from the You're All Write set was stamped and then paper pieces using scrap cardstock from my stash. He was then popped up onto the from of the post it note holder. 

A mini pen and a matching post it note pad completed my project and it is now ready to give!!

My other project is a small tag that I added to a skinny clear bag of pencils. 

The tag, from the Chunky Stitched Tag Die was die cut using the same lined paper. I stamped the sentiment, also from the set You're All Write onto the tag.

I stamped the mini pencil cutie onto some white cardstock and then I colored him using my prismacolor pencils.

The tag was attached to the skinny bag using some Totally White Trendy Twine.

I Break for Bats! {Trendy Twine DT project}

Good Morning Everyone!

I am up on the Trendy Twine blog today!!!

Can you believe Halloween is just around the corner?? Time to start thinking about whipping up those treats for class parties and your trick or treaters.

Today's project is perfect for that using my featured products of the month

Grape Licorice Trendy Twine and the Skinny Candy Bags

To make these treats, I used the Skinny Candy Bags and filled them with some purple, white and black chocolate jewels. 25 fit in each bag perfectly! I then used my Silhouette and cut out a cute bat. I eliminated the eyes so I could add some fun googly eyes and stapled the tops of the candy bags onto the belly of the bat.

Next I went ahead and scored the wings so I could fold them over to give the look that they were holding onto my sentiment as well as act as a cover to hid the staple holding the candy onto the bat. The sentiment (from My Creative Time~Trick or Treat set) was stamped onto to banner die from My Creative Time's Just Simply Live set. I added eyelets to each side of the banner then threaded the gorgeous Grape Licorice through to tie a bow onto each side.

Super cute and so much fun to make!!!!

Here is what I used from Annie's Paper Boutique:

Halloween and Fall Candy Sticks.......{Challenge Post}

Hey Everyone!!! 
Hope you all are having a GREAT weekend!!!!
I have a bunch of treats to share today for a few of my favorite challenges....

But first I wanted to share some pretty exciting news...

I was asked by a friend of mine who owns a salon if I would be interested in setting up a table with some of my projects to sell. Well of course I was and so I spent the entire last few days putting together all my cards...making sure all the envelopes were packaged with them, making some candy sticks as both a sample and for sale as well as going through my 3d packaging and picking out some to take as well. 
I had alot of fun getting everything together and hope this helps with some of my business :) She is having an open house tomorrow night which I will go to so fingers crossed that people like my things!!
Boy do I give credit to people who do these craft shows. I LOVE what I do but the work that they must go through to stock and keep replenished has to take months of prep. I know I have a ton that is going with me but I still feel like I could always use more.
Guess the good thing is I can pop in anytime and add to my table!

Now onto my projects.....
The first one is for the new Peachy Keen Stamps Anything Goes Challenge.
I LOVE making these fun candy sticks and when I found the candy corn M & M's in the store I knew exactly what I wanted to put on the tags....
Here they are....hope you like them!

I thought these would make fun classroom treats for Halloween...cute and sweet :)

I used the PK  July SOTM set for the sentiment as well as the cute little face.

Like my container I have the candy sticks in???

I glittered a candle holder and added a big bow using some May Arts Ribbon I got from my friend Beckie over at her store~ Sparkly Sweet Craft Notions

This is what the candy stick looks like alone...Those skinny bags I got from the Trendy Twine store! I already have another order placed for more!!

And here is a close-up of the tag. I used the new freebie file from PPPR except I altered it to use only the candy corn part. I wanted to add my cute PK face and the perfect sentiment, again from the July SOTM set from PKS

Paper~Bazzill Cardstock~White, Yellow, Orange

Now onto my next project....
Another bunch of candy sticks, this set for Fall using stamps and dies from  
My Creative Time.
I made another glittered candle holder, this one using a deep brown glitter and some brown May Arts Ribbon~ also picked up from my friend Beckie...
Here they are

 I was going for a bit more of a fall rustic look for my tags so instead of adding some twine to attach the tag to the bags, I used some Burlap ribbon from The Kraft Outlet and my stapler :)

Here are the sticks outside of the jar. They are such a GREAT size for stacking a bunch of

 M & M's as well as a whole variety of other small candies. And they are perfect decorated for any occasion!

And here are the tags. I really love how they turned out. Simple, but easy to mass produce!

Don't you just love the stitching that comes with all of Emma's dies??? Such a great added touch!!!

Stamps~ My Creative Time~ Piles of Smiles
