Let's Celebrate!

Good Morning everyone! It is my DT day over on the Trendy Twine Blog!

The 4th of July is just a few days away I have another fun project to share using the Large Kraft Pillow Boxes and my all time favorite Trendy Twine~the Stars and Stripes!

Did you know that you can emboss these Kraft Pillow Boxes??? I did this one with the stars embossing folder from Cuttlebug and it gave the pillow box such an awesome texture. 
I did keep my project on the CAS side to really showcase the embossing on the box as well as show that wrapping some of the gorgeous Stars and Stripes Trendy Twine around the box and attaching a sweet tag is just the finishing touches a 3D project needs.

Here is a close-up of the twine holding on the star tag. For my tag I used one of the star dies from MCT~Bunch of Stitched Stars . The sentiment is from the newly released Wishing You Both The Best and was stamped onto the banner die from the Vintage Stitched Label Dies. You can also see more the embossing and how awesome it looks. Some random sequins in the red, white and blue and this project is ready for the 4th of July celebrations (filled with some candy of course)

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

Sweet Summertime Co~Blog Hop....Trendy Twine/SVG Attic

Welcome to the Trendy Twine-SVG Attic Sweet Summertime blog hop!  We are so excited to have you join us today!

At each stop of the hop we hope you will be inspired by the creativity of the design teams of Trendy Twine and SVG Attic. You are sure to find many wonderful projects that will be at the top of your crafting lists!

You should be arriving from Migdalia blog. 
If you happened across this post out of order, please head to the Trendy Twine blog to start at the beginning of the hop.

Here is the project I created:

For my project I used the Hot Air Balloon Box from the Above It All set. Since I was using the beautiful Stars and Stripes Trendy Twine I used navy, red and white cardstock for all my balloon pieces. This file was a blast to play with...lots of pieces but very easy to assemble!

Here is a close-up of the basket part of the balloon. I used the Stars and Stripes Trendy Twine to tie each corner of the basket together. Also since this file is a box, instead of using the center part of the file, I swapped it out and placed one of the Skinny Candy Chutes from Trendy Twine and filled it with some M&M's.

The top of the balloon has this sweet banner. Both the die cut and the sentiment are from My Creative Time~Thanks for the Lift. Another bow of the Stars and Stripes Trendy Twine finishes up my project.

Already Missing You......{MCT Inspire Me Wednesday}

Good Morning everyone!

It's time for another

My Creative Time Inspire Me Wednesday.

If you are new to my blog or to what Inspire Me Wednesday is all about, it is

where the DT makes a project of our choice based on an inspiration subject.

My inspiration comes from the current

 MCT Designers Challenge Sketch and Photo Inspiration

You can find out all the details on this month's challenge by clicking HERE.

There is still plenty of time to get creating and play along!!

For my card I used both the sketch and I pulled colors from the photo inspiration and designed this card.

I flipped the sketch just a bit to add the new Stitched Doily Die in front of the banner piece. I wanted the pretty papers to be seen more as well as the details on the doily die.

Both the sentiment and that adorable flamingo are from the newly released Already Missing You stamp and die set! I just love that Emma is adding dies with all of her adorable images!!!

My Creative Time Products Used:

Bunch of Stitched Doily Dies

Already Missing You

Welcome Baby.....{Scrapping the Little Things w/MCT}

Good Morning and Welcome to another Scrapping the Little Things with My Creative Time!
After this past week of amazing sneaks from the DT and another AWESOME new release, I used the new Hello Baby and Bunch of Stitched Doily Dies as my theme for this months PL cards. 

For my cards, I used designer paper from Lori Whitlock's~All About a Boy. As you can see I used several additional MCT goodies to help highlight those CUTIE new release stamp and dies!
Section 1 is simple 4X4 card which I added the baby onsie too. In addition to that die, I did add a small Stitched Star to the center.
The next section I used the Bracket Die as a place for my sentiment then left a nice sized space to add a picture. Finally for that 4X4 card I added the cutie baby cow which I colored with my copics.
To finish off my PL cards, I used the small 2X2 die and added 4 of the small Stitched Doily Dies. Then using the Uppercase Alphabet Dies, I spelled out the word BABY.

My Creative Time Products Used:

Hello Baby

Bunch of Stitched Doily Dies

4x4 Journal Die & More

Bunch of Stitched Stars

Uppercase Fun Dies

Stitched Bracket Dies

That is all I have for now.... I really hope you have enjoyed my  page!

Make sure you head on over to My Creative Time to see what the rest of the DT made!

MCT 44th New Release Reveal & Blog Hop!!!

Good Morning 

and 

Welcome to the much anticipated 

44th New Release from My Creative Time!

This week has been so much fun with the DT sharing amazing projects and inspiration! But we have one more day of AWESOME~NESS! 

Now you should be coming from the VERY talented

Emily

but if you are just stopping in, make sure to head back to the start~ the AMAZING 

Emma

You are not going to want to miss a thing! She really ROCKED this release (well she always does, doesn't she?? Of course!!)

I am so excited to share my cards I made today using this releases FREEBIE die set

Baby Word Die  along with the AWESOME Hello Baby  Set.

My first card is a baby boy shaker card using that cutie giraffe stamp and matching die set. I ended up using the Doily Die for the shaker part of my card and die cutting a circle into the center of the doily using one of the Bunch of Fun Circle Dies. After filling the shaker with some yellow and brown sequins, closing up the shaker and wrapping some Chocolate Cupcake Trendy Twine around the whole card front, I started working on the front of my card. I die cut the giraffe and stamped him onto the die cut. Next I colored him with my copic markers and popped him up onto the front of my card. For the sentiment, I die cut the Baby Word Die in the matching brown cardstock and placed the sentiment on a slight diagonal so I could stamp the rest of my sentiment both above and below it.

I couldn't make a baby boy card without making a cutie baby girl card too...LOL so for this one I used the oh so adorable elephant! A completely different card LO for this one but I went about stamping and coloring the image the same way as well as the positioning of the sentiment. For the center border piece I did use the Rectangular Frame Die and just made the piece smaller to fit the image and sentiment. Some matching enamel dots and some Pinkberry Sorbet Trendy Twine and my card was complete.

Today the DT will be showcasing projects using the new set~ Already Missing You! Isn't this flamingo just adorable???  Miss Emma has 2 flamingo's with the matching dies as well as several fun sentiments to pair them up with!

MCT 44th New Release Sneak Day 2

  Good Morning and welcome to Day 2 of sneaks for the new
My Creative Time 44th New Release!
What did you think of yesterday's sneaks?? Pretty AWESOME right? Well today the DT has ton's more to share!!!!

Today I have 2 cards to sharing using the new set~
Wishing You Both the Best

For my first card I wanted to use that awesome big sentiment as my focal point. After playing around with the placement and ideas for this card, I decided to go CAS with this card and complement the sentiment with that fun Scalloped Bow Die. This is how I put my card together. I started off with a black cardstock base, added a layer of pale pink cardstock and then using the Stitched Rectangular Frame Die, die cut a piece of glittery polka dot vellum. After putting my card together, I used a circle die from the Bunch of Fun Circle Dies set and stamped my sentiment into the center. To finish my card off, I die cut all the pieces of the Small Stitched Scalloped Bow Die 

I apologize now for the poor picture quality on this card. I could not get the lighting right to showcase the cream and pale pink colors in this card. So while you look at this, just picture the Square Stitched Goody Dies in a cream color along with the fun new wedding cake stamp and die from the Wishing You Both the Best. 

For those pretty flowers, they were die cut using a very pale pink matching designer paper. I  then added some silver stickles to the centers of each flower for an added glittery touch.
Finally to complete my card, I stamped the sentiment along the bottom of my image.

MCT 44th New Release Sneak Day 1

  Good Morning and welcome to Day 1 of sneaks for the 

My Creative Time 44th New Release!

Miss Emma has another AMAZING new release and the DT can not wait to share all of our projects with you! We all know you are going to LOVE everything in this release.

So sit back and get ready for a GREAT week of inspiration followed by our blog hop on Friday when we will show you all the entire new release and it will be available for purchase!

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

Bunch Of Stitched Doily Dies

For today's sneak I started with a kraft cardstock base, added a layer of white cardstock and then my Stitched Rectangular Frame Die designer paper layer. Using some beautiful designer paper from My Minds Eye~Just Splendid I used one of the new Bunch of Stitched Doily Dies for the focal point of my card. I love to look through all of my MCT stamps and dies to use older sets for cards. Since me and the hubs will be celebrating our anniversary soon when I saw the sweet stamp from the We are Family set I new I wanted to use that for my card. Once the doily die was cut (don't you just LOVE the details?!?!) I stamped the man and women into the center. Moving onto the sentiment...Since I am crazy about my hubs :) I grabbed this sentiment from Bracket Sentiments and stamped it onto the banner from the Vintage Stitched Label Dies. As I was playing around with placement for the sentiment, I decided to hang it long wise on my card. Emma has added the button center die to the new Doily Die set so I took that die and made the hanger for the top of my banner. I then used some Totally Blue Trendy Twine which happened to be an exact match to my designer paper and added a simple bow.

Happy 4th of July!

Good Morning Everyone!

It is my day to share a project on the Trendy Twine Blog!

The 4th of July is right around the corner and I have a fun project to share using the Large Kraft Pillow Boxes and my all time favorite Trendy Twine~the Stars and Stripes!

To make my project, I started with the Large Kraft Pillow Box and wrapped some DoodleBug Designs~Patriotic Parade paper around the center of the box. Next using 2 different sized Stitched Stars from My Creative Time, I die cut them out using matching paper. For the center of the star, I wrapped several back and forth rows of the Stars and Stripes Trendy Twine and then added another star to the back side of my embellishment to hold everything in place. It was then popped up onto the front of my pillow box using some foam pop dots.

Finally for the sentiment, I grabbed a toothpick and made a flag. I took the Teeny Tag Die from My Creative Time, stamped my sentiment using the Teeny Tag Holidays stamp set, wrapped some more Stars and Stripes Trendy Twine around the toothpick and tied it all together with a simple bow.

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

Wish Big......{MCT Tag it Tuesday}

Good Morning and welcome to another

Tag it Tuesday w/My Creative Time!

It's my son's 12th birthday tomorrow so I made a sweet treat and added a fun birthday tag to wrap it all up with. 

The Just Tags die is a perfect size to add to candy sticks and pretzel bags. I used the newly released Light The Candles stamp and die set for the cupcake and added the layers using designer paper from My Minds Eye~Quilting Bee paper pad. The sentiment, from the WOW So Many Candles stamp set was added right before the cupcake was popped up onto the tag.

Finally I added some Totally Sky Trendy Twine to my pretzel dipped Biggie Candy Bags. Sweet treat complete and ready for the birthday boy!

Well that it all I have to share :)

  Make sure you head on over to My Creative Time to see what the rest of the Design Team has created. Also mark your calendars!! Next week starts sneak for the totally AWESOME 44th New Release!!!! You are going to LOVE this one!!!
