Happy B-Day...{MCT Anything Goes}

Good Morning everyone!
I am sharing a project today for
Anything Goes Thursday!


Birthdays always seem to creep up so fast and then I scramble around looking for a card/gift to the birthday person. When Miss Emma released the new Cute Gift Tag Die I knew that the fun present die would be perfect for the Embossed Gift Card Holder

Take a look at my project and let me know what you think......
The best thing about this project, besides how quick and easy it is to put together, is that this can be made for both girls and boys depending on the designer paper you use.
I used just the present die from the Cute Gift Tag Die and popped it up onto the front of the Embossed Gift Card Holder. The sentiment, from the Fun Vertical Greetings was stamped onto the gift card holder.
I finished my project off by adding a few small stars from the Bunch of Stitched Stars set to compliment the present designer paper.

Want to see more projects?

My Creative Time

I know the inspiration is AWESOME!!!!

MCT 71st New Release BIG Reveal & Blog Hop

Welcome to the 71st  New Release from 

 This has been such an AWESOME few days of  amazing inspiration from the DT~ don't you think???
But there is one more day of projects with so lets get started....

You should be coming from the VERY talented
but if you are just stopping in, make sure to head back to the start~ the AMAZING 
You are not going to want to miss a thing!

For my project, I get to showcase the new
Pocketful of Holidays & Pocketful of Holiday Sentiments

here is the card I made using those sets......
It is hard to think about snow and winter when we are going to have an unseasonably warm weekend but I just love this cutie snowman!
I again played around with paper piecing and the beautiful I Love Winter paper pack from Echo Park.
I die cut the pocket and the snowman using the new Pocketful of Holidays set. The snowman in white cardstock and the pocket in designer paper. After paper piecing the snowman, I popped him up onto the pocket and placed that whole piece aside to work on the card.
For the card, I started with a kraft cardstock base, added a layer of white cardstock and then die cut using the Stitched Rectangular Frame Die the top layer. I did that 2 times so I could use a coordinating piece of designer paper for the under layer. To see the under layer, I used the More Stitched Edges Die.
The sentiment was then stamped onto the card front, the snowman and pocket adhered as well with some foam to pop them up.
For the finishing touches, I added some snowflake die cuts using the Winter Flake Dies and some Nuvo enamel dots.

Now for the entire release.....

Happy Pumpkin Day...{MCT Whatever Wednesday}

Good Morning everyone and welcome to
Whatever Wednesday
with

Today I have a Halloween Treat project to share that is perfect for class parties, friends or just to put in your little ones lunch.
Everything I used for my sucker holder is made using MCT stamps and dies!
Take a look and let me know what you think....

Didn't this turn out adorable?
To make my project, I started out with The Perfect Match die and folded and scored additional lines to fit around my sucker. Next using the Stitched Fun Ticket Dies I stamped my sentiment which is from the new Spooky & Creepy Night
That cute pumpkin is also from the new Spooky & Creepy Night set but I added the small leaf to the top of the pumpkin using the die from the Love to Learn set.
Finished off with a matching orange bow from my stash and my project is all complete.

So what do you think???
I hope you like my project!

Spooky Treats just for You....{MCT Cook-N-Craft}

Good Morning everyone!

Today I am sharing a project for
MCT's Cook -N- Craft, 
its an anything goes post day BUT we also share a favorite recipe.

Fall is my favorite time of year! The weather cools down, its football season and its 
PUMPKIN time!!
Todays project and recipe is all about pumpkins so lets take a look at my project first!
Total cuteness when it comes to making your own pumpkin treat box! This easy to do project can be made with any color/design of cardstock.
For my project I found some scrap striped paper and used the Stitched Favor Box Die.
Next I stamped the sentiment using the new kit ~Frightful Greetings
For the stem of my pumpkin, I just die cut the top of the Stitched Favor Box in brown cardstock and layered it over the designer paper.
Finishing touches to my project~ I added a green leaf using the die from A Thankful Heart
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now onto my recipe.....
I LOVE pumpkin bread so I am sharing one of my favorites!

"Frightful Greetings"


I had so much fun with this new kit that I made not 1 project but 3 cards to share! Take a look at my inspiration using this new kit!

3 different cards using the same kit~ the possibilities are ENDLESS 

First up is my treat card.....
All of my cards use the same basic design. In this case a purple cardstock base layered with white cardstock and a top cardstock panel die cut using the Stitched Rectangular Frame Die. Please note that the Stitched Rectangular Frame die is NOT included in this kit but can be picked up in the MCT store HERE.
Using some Wilted Violet Distress Ink and the new Stencil, I made the pattern in both corners of my cardstock. I also stenciled a scrap piece of cardstock that was used to wrap my candy.
The sentiment, from the new kit was stamped onto the front of the card, just under where I was going to place the candy. I did use a circle die to frame my candy piece, adhered the candy to my card front. 
To finish my card, I added a shear white ribbon bow and some purple enamel dots.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Up next is a spooky fun card using the new skeleton stamp/die.
To make this card, I started again with a black cardstock base, a layer of white cardstock and a die cut piece of designer cardstock from my stash.
Next I used the stencil on some white cardstock with Black Soot Distress Ink. Lightly adding a pattern to the piece that I then stamped the sentiment onto. 
Finally I stamped and die cut the new skeleton image on some white cardstock which was then popped up onto the front of the card along with the sentiment. Some added enamel dots finished my card.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My final card is a simple design using the stencil as a focal point.
I stenciled the design onto a piece of white cardstock using Carved Pumpkin Distress Ink.
The sentiment was stamped onto the panel in the center of the card.
Finishing my card up with some black and orange enamel dots and a simple Totally Black Trendy Twine bow.
