Merry Christmas....{PKS Face Day}

 Good Morning everyone!

 It is my day to share a Face Day project on the Peachy Keen Stamps blog!

Today I get to share a Christmas Treat I made using the adorable PK~481 Christmas Character Face which is one of the fun sets on sale all this month in the PKS store HERE

Christmas is always a fun time to make treats and give gifts. When I saw these adorable snowman boxes in the Silhouette Store I knew that with some PK cuteness and a matching sentiment that I could make something anyone would love to receive :)

Hope you like them!

Here is an up~close picture and I will tell you all how I made it.....

I started with the Santa Treat Box from the Silhouette Store and cut out all my pieces using cardstock from my stash. I then inked up the edges of the white pieces using some gray ink and placed them aside.

Using the Santa eyes from the PK-481 Christmas Character Faces, I stamped it onto my cream colored cardstock, added some chalk cheeks, colored his eyebrows in with my white gel pen and colored his nose in with some X-Mas red stickles.

Next I went about putting this all together...I stamped the sentiment onto the bottom using the PK-1345 Putsen & Jude Snow Couple set (also on special this month). Added a sparkly brad to his hat to hold the holly leaves in place. Added pop dots to his stash for a bit more dimension and popped the whole thing up onto the box base.

To finish my project, I added some mints in a clear pretzel bag that I ended up cutting down to fit better into my box and tied it closed with some Candy Cane Trendy Twine.

Here are the stamp sets I used for my project....

GREAT stamps for all your upcoming holiday projects!

A Treat Just For You!~ {MCT Designer Challenge Thursday}

Good Morning everyone and welcome to another

My Creative Time Designers Challenge Thursday!

For today's challenge we have 2 inspiration pictures for you. A gorgeous color combo/photo inspiration as well as a fun sketch!

Photo Credit

I love the colors and picture in the first and sketches are always so fun to play around with  so I used them both and made a Halloween gift set. 

So here is my set....lets take a closer look and I will tell you how I made each project :)
First up is my card based on the sketch.

I started with a brown cardstock base and added a layer of designer paper die cut using the Stitched Rectangular Frame Dies (one of my all time FAVORITE new dies!) Next I added 3 strips of brown cardstock and wrapped each strip with some cream colored hemp cording that I picked up in the dollar bin at Target. Moving onto the focal point of my card, I die cut 3 of the stitched eggs from the Hello Spring Stamp Set to make my pumpkin. I know you have seen alot of the DT girls do this...Such a FUN way to make another pumpkin using your MCT dies. I popped the pumpkin up onto an altered Stitched Journal Die. All I did to alter that, was cut the shape down alittle to fit better onto the card mat. I did add a 
Stitched Decorative Banner for the pumpkin stem and also die cut 3 more for the side banner pieces....those also altered to fit onto my card. I finished my card by adding 3 orange enamel dots, just to add a pop of additional color!

Next moving onto my coffee mug......

I have been playing with vinyl a lot lately and saw something similar to this on Pinterest. I picked up the coffee mug at the Dollar Tree and using my cameo I cut out the pumpkin face with some black vinyl. I placed it onto the front of the mug and then filled it with some yummy caramel Hersey kisses. I had to make a cute tag to tie the bag together and I used the frame dies from the Stitched Rectangular Frame Dies & More set. I used matching designer paper that I used for my card and stamped the sentiment using the Fright Night stamp set.
A few more enamel dots and a bow with the cream colored hemp cording and my project was completed!

What a Treat Wednesday w/ MCT {Halloween Nuggets}

Good Morning everyone and welcome to 
What a Treat Wednesday
with My Creative Time!

Today the MCT DT will be sharing gift/candy container using of course My Creative Time stamps and dies!!
For my project today, I made some Halloween nugget packages. These would be so fun to hand out for a class party or to your Trick or Treaters!
Hope you like them!

One of my favorite things to do is make packaging treats. I LOVE adding these wrapped chocolate nuggets and then of course adding the perfect mix of MCT stamps and dies for the tag. These are very easy to do and mass produce in no time!

Here is a close-up of the tag I made. 

I started out by die cutting a pieces of black cardstock for the base and layering a die cut white piece using the Just Tags die set. Next I cut the "spooky" sentiment out using the matching designer paper that I used to wrap my candies.

Layering the sentiment onto my tag in a semi diagonal way across my tag, I then added the stamped sentiment both on top and below the "spooky" cut.

Using the same Wicked Fun Dies set, I cut the largest of the bat dies out using another piece of black cardstock and popped him up onto my tag. Some random black enamel dots and my tag was complete.

Then to attach the tag onto my treat, I punched a hole into the top of the packaging and wrapped a double layer of Grape Fizz Trendy Twine, tying it off with a big bow.

My Creative Time 36th  Release!

So what did you think of yesterday's projects and sneak??? Pretty AWESOME right???
Wait until you see this set of stamps and dies!!

Today the DT will be showcasing projects using the new set~

All You Need is Coffee

This is so how I start out my morning...a cup of steaming hot coffee while the house is still quiet :)
And here is my inspiration....

How super CUTE are those coffee mugs?? And did you see that fun stitched embossed "steam"?? Plus I am so LOVING the new word die!!
So here is how I made this CAS card. I again used my new favorite die~ the Stitched Rectangle Frame Die for my card mat and added 2 of the new die cut coffee mugs. After positioning them where I wanted them, I used the "steam heart" and embossed it above the cups. For some extra sparkle, I colored it in using my Wink of Stella clear glitter pen.

Next using the sentiment from the new All You Need is Coffee set, I stamped it onto the banner die from the Just Simply Live set. I die cut the "coffee" word using the matching pattern paper and finished off my card with some random enamel dots.

My Creative Time 36th  Release!

Again another AWESOME day yesterday of sneaks right??? We have much more to share!!!!!

Today the DT will be showcasing projects using the new set~

A Thankful Heart
This beautiful set will surely make sending Thanksgiving cards very easy! The perfect sentiments and matching leaf dies are such a great addition to the MCT family!
Here is my inspiration for today.......

Can you tell I just LOVE that Stitched Rectangle Frame die??? I used it again on my card mat, this time die cutting it out using Kraft cardstock and stamping the Grainy Wood Background onto it.
Then using another die from the Stitched Rectangle Die set, I die cut an opening in the center of my card and then cut a very thin frame to add to the outside. I added the die cut "grateful" to the center then stamped the sentiment underneath.

Using the new leaf dies from this set, I die cut 2 different ones (can you see the beautiful embossed design that these have??? They are so pretty). Next I added them to the card front, under some natural hemp twine and a brown button.
Finally I embellished with some random enamel dots and my card was complete!

MCT 36th New Release Sneak Peek Day 2

Good Morning and welcome to Day 2 of sneaks for the new

My Creative Time 36th  Release!

So what did you think of yesterday's projects and sneak??? Pretty AWESOME right???
Well there is TONS more!!!!

Today the DT will be showcasing projects using the new set~

Wicked Fun Dies & Trick or Treat
I am super exited for these stamps and dies! I just LOVE Halloween time and these are so perfect for all your Halloween projects!
Here is my card for today.... Have to say I LOVE this one :)

OMG how fun is that spider and web?? Emma really knows how to WOW us all with her creativity when it comes to designing new stamps and dies!

Anyways I wanted to keep the spider, his web and the sentiment as my focal point so I made my card pretty simple. I again used my new favorite die~ the Stitched Rectangle Frame and die cut one layer in designer paper. I made a smaller rectangle shape using the same die to layer on top. Before adding the layer, I die cut the new web and cut it in half to place behind the top rectangle layer. I wrapped it with some Trendy Twine and adhered it to my card mat. Next I die cut that fun new spider, stamped my sentiment onto some white card stock and die cut it out using one of the Bunches of Circle Dies. 

I then popped the sentiment up onto the card as well as popping the spider up hanging down from the sentiment. I added a glittery enamel dot to the spot where the spider web hangs down to the spider and my card was complete!
