Happy 4th....{MCT To Die For}

Good morning everyone!
I am sharing a card today for My Creative Time's
"Too Die For Tuesday"

This is where we share ideas on how to stretch your dies.

With the 4th of July right around the corner I made a mini shaker using last releases  set~ PinWheel Centers

Take a look and let me know what you think....

Shakers are so much fun to make and add such a different element to cards. They don't even have to be a large shaker piece, like the one I added to my card to add a fun twist to a card.

To make my card, I used the largest star die from the Pinwheel Centers set and die cut it into a Ribbon End Banner.

Since I wanted that banner piece to be larger than the rest, I stretched my die to extend the banner piece.  My star was die cut into the banner and then filled with red and white seed beads.

The red and white banner pieces were cut using the same banner set, making them the sizes smaller and then arranged onto my card mat.

The whole card mat, made from a piece of white cardstock and layered with a piece of designer cardstock die cut using the Stitched Rectangular Frame Dies & More set was then popped up onto my A2 card base.

The sentiment, from My Little Firecracker was stamped onto the front of my card and some hemp cord was added with a bow for the finishing touch.

What do you think of my card? I hope I gave you another idea on how to use those awesome MCT dies!!!

To My Little Firecracker.......{MCT Anything Goes}

Good Morning everyone!

I am sharing a card today for My Creative Time's

Anything Goes Thursday!

Since the 4th of July is just around the corner, I made a cute celebration card using the newly released set~ Scalloped Stitched Circle

For my card I used designer paper from Doodlebug Designs~Patriotic Parade and even pulled out my prismacolor pencils!
To make this card I started with an A2 size card base, added a layer of white cardstock and then die cut the designer paper using the Stitched Rectangular Frame Die.
Next I die cut the circle and then the matching scalloped circle using the new set~ Scalloped Stitched Circles. The circle die cut was through the designer paper, the scalloped circle was with some matching navy cardstock from my stash.
The sentiment, from the set~ My Little Firecracker was stamped inside the circle and then the matching firecracker was stamped and colored using my prismacolor pencils.
Some added star die cuts from the 3 Star Stitched Dies were added for some extra details.
So there is my completed card....what do you think???

MCT 68th New Release BIG Reveal & Blog Hop

For my project, I get to showcase the following sets~

Pinwheel Centers (FREEBIE)

&

Small & Medium Stitched Pinwheel Dies

I am pretty excited about my project...take a look at what I made using these sets....

OMG how adorable are these hair clips?!?!?

I used the new pinwheel dies, both small and large to make 2 different size/sets of clips.

These were so super easy to make, I took it a step further and used my embroidery machine to make the clip covers, but you could also just cover the clips with some ribbon instead.

I used the dies to diescut the pinwheels and centers using felt. After putting the pinwheels together, adding a sparkle brad or pearl brad to the centers, I used my hot glue gun to attach then to the clips.

Easy peesy and ready to be worn!!

Now for the entire release.....

MCT 68th New Release Sneak Day 3.....{Happy 4th of July}

Good Morning !

It is Day 3 of sneaks for the

68th New Release from

My Creative Time!

Boy is this week flying by!!! But I sure hope you are enjoying all these awesome sneaks from the DT!

Today we are showcasing this releases FREEBIE die~ Pinwheel Centers along with the new Small & Medium Stitched Pinwheel Dies

and here is the project I made using these sets...

How super fun are these new dies!!!! For my project I made some 4th of July wands/party favors. The designer paper I used for both pinwheels is from DoodleBug Designs~ Patriotic Parade. I have a close-up of both so you can see...

This pinwheel is the smaller one...so super CUTE! See that center star..that is the FREEBIE (well one of the dies in the freebie set). To make this one, I die cut the pinwheel 2 times, putting it together with the sparkle brad and star center. Before attaching it to my polka dot straw, I attached some long white and blue ribbon. The whole piece (pinwheel, brad and ribbon) was then placed through a small hole on the straw to hold it all together.
For the sentiment, I use the Smallest of the Ribbon End Banner and stamped the sentiment from the Teeny Tag Holidays set.

Here is the larger of the 2 pinwheels. You can see the difference in the way the brad looks through the larger star center.  I assembled this one the same as the smaller one, used the Ribbon End Banners for the sentiment and stamped the sentiment from the set~ My Little Firecracker.
I can not get over how easy these are to put together and how fun they are!!!!!
I can not wait to make more projects with these!!

MCT 68th New Release!!!

Well today we have another Die set to showcase.

More Scalloped Stitched Ovals

and here is the card I made using that set.....

My sweet card uses several MCT products. Of course the sneak set~ More Scalloped Stitched Ovals was used as a frame for my cutie ice cream cone.
The ice cream set comes for the stamp/die set~ You Make Life Sweet and after cutting all the pieces and assembling it, I inked up the added face that comes with this set, stamped it onto the scoop and added some white gel pen and chalk.
I of course pulled out my favorite die~ The Stitched Rectangular Frame Die for the top layer of my card mat and used the More Stitched Edges Die for the ripped look at the bottom.
The sentiment is also from the You Make Life Sweet set and my card was finished off with some random enamel dots.

68th New Release

week of sneaks with

So lets get started!!

Today we are showcasing the new die set~

Scalloped Stitched Circles
and here is the card I made using this set.....

When I started to design my card, I pulled the Doodlebug Designs paper pad~Flea Market

and saw the sunflower sheet. I used that inspiration to design my card, of course using that paper pack for all the designer paper.

I used 2 different size circle dies and the matching scallop dies to make my sunflowers. The leaves were added using the Stitched Pretty Flower & Leaves Dies and A Thankful Heart set.

Moving onto the sentiment, I  used the Ribbon End Banners Die and stamped the sentiment from the Beautiful Day set.

So foam to pop up the dies and sentiment and a little white gel pen completes my card.

Let's Have a Date Night......{MCT Weird Holiday Tuesday}

Good Morning Everyone!

It is Weird Holiday day over on the MCT page and today I am sharing a card for

Drive-in Movie Day

 which is actually celebrated today~Tue, June 6
and is considered an

Unofficial holiday but is celebrated in many countries

Here is the card I made for this fun and weird holiday........

To make my card, I used several MCT products. I started with a kraft cardstock base, added a layer of designer paper from Teresa Collins~Memorabilia collection, a layer of white cardstock and then another layer of matching designer paper.

For the white and top layer of designer paper, I took the More Stitched Edges Dies for the ripped look at the bottoms and then die cut the top layer using the Stitched Rectangular Frame Dies & More.

Moving right along with my design, I used the Date Night set for the movie tape, the stars and the sentiment and then added the sentiment onto the Stitched Fun Ticket Dies

The final touches to my card were added with a cute red stitched heart from the Stitched Heart Background dies and a trendy twine bow.

A super fun card to design, put together and give out...don't you think??
