MCT 5 Days of Christmas~~Day 1

We are SUPER EXCITED to bring back another 5 days of Christmas! 

We will have daily AWESOME prizes so you might want to tune in each day so you won't miss a thing! All you have to do is leave your comments on each stop for an opportunity to WIN!

For all the details make sure you check out the post over at My Creative Time!

My project for today is a simple card to make using gorgeous designer paper and some older stamps and dies.

To make my card I used some new paper I just picked up from MME called Cozy Christmas and die cut the paper mat using the largest of the Stitched Rectangular Frame Die. 

Next I grabbed the set Oh Deer and die cut the deer using some plain kraft cardstock. I didnt want my reindeer to be completely plain so I did add a red sparkle gem to his nose!!

Finally for the sentiment, I grabbed another older stamp/die set~ Chocolate Greetings

and used both the sentiment from that set as well as the banner die from that set.

I hope you like my project for Day 1!
 *tip* for the day...go through your designer paper. I know everyone has gorgeous papers that they forget about that is perfect for using for cards like this. Grab a die and a sentiment and you can mass produce cards in no time!

Thanks for stopping by and make sure to head on over to the My Creative Time blog HERE to see more holiday gift ideas and projects!!!!
I will be back tomorrow with Day 2!

Happy Thanksgiving w/Trendy Twine

Good Morning Everyone! 

It is my DT day over on the Trendy Twine Blog and I am excited to be able to share another project with you all using my featured twine color of the month~

Totally Chocolate along with the adorable 2x2 Kraft Boxes

Can you believe that it is almost Thanksgiving?? I thought I would make a project that can work for the dinner table. These 2X2 Kraft Boxes can be filled with candy and be a fun treat for your guests to take home with them.

To make my project, I started with a 2X2 Kraft Box and covered it with some beautiful designer paper from Recollections~Harvest Collections paper pack. Next using one of the panels (before it was attached to the box) I die cut a leaf using My Creative Time's A Thankful Heart set. I filled the leaf with the Totally Chocolate Trendy Twine then attached it to the box front.

I wanted to add a simple tag as well to by box, so I grabbed a Fun Stitched Tag Die , stamped my sentiment from the Fall Friends set and attached it all to the top of my box with more Totally Chocolate Trendy Twine.

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

Now for the big reveal..LOL! Open the card up and the super FUN new Stitched Pop~Up Die reveals a gift card. Since my card is a standard 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 the Stitched Gift Card Pocket Die works PERFECTLY on the new Stitched Pop~Up Die!!

I embellished the inside of my card again using the stamps and dies from the new Date Night stamp/die set as well as stamping a spot to add all the details on the movie using the Let's Celebrate stamp set!

MCT 49th New Release Sneak Day 3

49th New Release from My Creative Time!

Boy is this week FLYING by but dont worry we still have a whole bunch of AWESOME projects to share and new release items to sneak :)

Today the DT is showcasing another 2 super FUN set2 that I know you will all LOVE

Date Night & Popcorn Background

OMG how fun is that background stamp?? It even comes with the matching die for the popcorn in case you want to die cut them out like I did for my card. To put my card together, I started with a piece of white cardstock for my mat die cut using the largest of the Stitched Rectangular Frame Dies. Next I used the new Popcorn Background stamp and added a border up the side of my card mat. Then using the same stamp, I stamped it onto some designer paper from Lawn Fawn and die cut a few of the random popcorn pieces out to "pop" them onto the front of the card. Next using the new Date Night set, I stamped the sentiment (one of several included in this set) onto my card as well as using the adorable heart and heart die from that set as well. I randomly stamped the heart onto my card and then die cut some matching hearts to pop up onto the popcorn as well.

I finished my card by using some Totally Black Trendy Twine and tying a simple big bow.

MCT 49th New Release Sneak Day 2

Good Morning and welcome to Day 2 of sneaks for the 

49th New Release from My Creative Time!

What did you all think of yesterday's projects?? Pretty AMAZING right!!!

Today the DT is showcasing another super FUN set that I know you will all LOVE

Be Your Best Selfie

I couldn't help but use the cutie hashtag die and make a fun holiday gift. While I was out shopping the other day I ran into Bath & Body Works and saw the new holiday pocket hand sanitizers. One caught my eye....the cute #sELFie which I knew right away I had to have to match this new sentiment set. So I packaged it up in a clear pillow box (which by the way is the PERFECT size to hold these) and tied it all up with some Candy Cane Trendy Twine. Next I made a little tag to attach to my package. I used the Mini Chalkboard Tags and added the small pic die from the Picture Perfect set. For the mini ELF hat I took the santa hat die from the Classy Girl Accessories and die cut the pieces in green and red cardstock. Then to finish the tag up I used the hashtag die and die cut 3 different color cardstock pieces. I wanted the ELF part of the die to be a different color and really pop up on the tag. 

***Sneak Peek giveaway!***

49th New Release from My Creative Time!

This is such an awesome release and we can not wait to share all of our projects all week with you! Then I hope you will join us on Friday for the BIG reveal and Blog Hop!!! 

Today we are showcasing the FREEBIE for this release~

 Hi Sweetie 

as well as a new background stamps

Stripey Background!

I really LOVE doing CAS cards so for this one I used the new background stamp in a different way then I have before. I took the tag from the Holiday Tags set and used it to make a template so I could stamp only the shape of the tag using the background stamp. Then I used the FREEBIE stamp for the sentiment as well as the candy. I cut the candy  out using the matching die that also comes with the set Hi Sweetie. The candy was then popped up onto the front of my card, I added some random enamel dots and tied a big Trendy Twine Candy Candy bow.

Thoughtful Thursday w/My Creative Time

Good Morning everyone!
Today is Thoughtful Thursday over on the My Creative Time blog 
a newer segment where the DT makes a  card or project centered around the... thinking of you, thank you, sympathy, etc theme :)

For my card I was inspired by Day 1 of the new Online Card Class~ Holiday Cards and Laurie Willison's gorgeous CAS card. 
I started my card by using a piece of white cardstock  and taping off a diagonal section towards the top of the card. Then using some Cotton Candy ink, I tried to ink in a dark to light manner...starting at the top and working towards the taped off section.
Once the inking was to my liking, I pulled off the tape and made some random score marks...just for some extra detail.
Using the Friendships are Forever stamp/die set, I stamped my sentiment and then placed the die cut "friend" using the score lines as my guide.
Some matching enamel dots finish my card off for a very quick and CAS friendship card.

So what do you think????? Want to see more projects?

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

I know the inspiration is AWESOME!!!!

Thanks so much for stopping by and have a GREAT day!!

Manly Monday w/My Creative Time

Good Morning everyone and welcome to 

My Creative Time's Manly Monday!

Many people find making manly cards hard...including myself!! As I was going through my "Stash" of MCT stamps and dies, I came across the What's Growing On? set that I had yet to play with. How perfect for MOVEMBER too...LOL! So for my card I went on the CAS side to make an easily reproducible manly card. I started with my all time favorite die~ Stitched Rectangular Frame Die & More for my card mat. Next I stamped the sentiment from the What's Growing On? set as well as die cut one of the stashes from that set also. I popped the stash up with some foam dots and then to finish off the front of my card I wrapped some Black Licorice Trendy Twine around the top for a simple bow.

Because of that fun sentiment on the front...I had to complete my card by stamping a cute response to it inside. Again using the same set~ What's Growing On?  I stamped my sentiment inside on another Stitched Rectangular Frame Die cut.

So what do you think????? A fun manly card using an AWESOME stamp/die set from MCT!

If you don't already own this one you MUST put it on your wishlist!!!

 Want to see more projects?

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

Autumn Wishes.....Trendy Twine

Good Morning Everyone!

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

A new month of spotlighted products from Trendy Twine has the DT showcasing the gorgeous new Fall Twine Colors. 

Today I am sharing a Fall inspired project using my featured twine color of the month~

Totally Chocolate along with the adorable 2x2 Kraft Boxes

To make my project, I used a 2x2 Kraft Box and instead of closing it up, I left the opening flap up and covered it with some beautiful fall pattern paper from Lawn Fawn~Sweater Weather. Next I wrapped some Totally Chocolate Trendy Twine around the box and added an adorable stamped image from My Creative Time colored with my copics. A fun banner sentiment onto the top and this box is ready to be filled with just about anything!

Of course I had to fill it with some Fall colored M&M's using the Candy Sack from Trendy Twine! Those bags hold a ton of treats!!! To close it up, I punched 2 holes onto the folded over top and then threaded some more Totally Chocolate Trendy Twine through to make a bow.

Here is what the candy bag looks like inside my project. A PERFECT fit!! And now ready to give :)

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