Happy Birthday....{MCT Manly Monday}

Good Morning Everyone!

I hope you all had a great weekend!!!

I am back with a card for My Creative Time's

Manly Monday post!

My son's birthday is tomorrow... he will be 17! OMG I can not believe it!

Time is flying so fast and I just want it all to slow down! We are already starting to plan for college! I am so proud of him and all of his accomplishments~ he is a hard worker and does very well in school, football and his community activities. 

Enough of me bragging...LOL! I made a CAS card to give to him celebrating his birthday.

Manly cards are always a challenge so I kept this one very simple.

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

CAS right? I used a kraft cardstock base and added a layer of white cardstock that I die cut using the largest of the Stitched Rectangular Frame Dies.
I stamped the sentiment, from the Make a Wish set onto the white mat using my MISTI to center it where I wanted.
Next using the Sentiment Label Dies, I die cut 4 banners. I arranged the banner onto the mat for a reference as to where I wanted them and then cut them in half. I did cut them all different lengths so when I taped them onto my card they did not line up exactly the same on the tops.
Once they were cut, I taped them above and below the sentiment making the sentiment the focal point.
To finish off my card, I added some thicker hemp twine around the top and bottom of the sentiment, hiding the cut marks from the banners and adding a manly border around the sentiment.
A simple bow tied off the hemp ribbon and completed my card.

I hope you like my CAS birthday card!
Make sure to head on over the the MCT blog for more inspiration!
Thanks so much for stopping by today and have a GREAT Monday!!

To My Bunny.....{MCT Whatever Wednesday}

Good Morning everyone!!

Welcome to another Whatever Wednesday post with My Creative Time!

I am super excited about my project today and hope you love it as much as I do!

These cuties are so fun to make and would be adorable for a little class treat or office gift for coworkers for Easter.

And the best part...they are made with 100% My Creative Time stamps and dies!

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

So aren't these adorable??? Each treat holds a single Hershey Nugget chocolate and the sentiment on the tag can be customized with so many fun MCT stamps!!!

Here is how I made this...

I started my project by die cutting 2 of the new Chunky Tag Dies, second largest of the dies and shown below in the picture. I scored each tag 5/8" from the base.  Once scored, I placed a piece of the chocolate inside and taped the 2 dies together, making sure there is enough room to hold the chocolate in place. 

Next using the More Scalloped Stitched Oval Dies I cut out my ears.
Each piece of the oval, the inside pink part and the scalloped white part need to be cut in half after die cutting to make a set of ears. They are then attached inside the front part of the tag die.

For the adorable nose on my bunnies I used the tiny pencil tip die from the Love to Learn set. It is so fun finding new ways to use dies for different projects!

Finally using the smallest of the new Chunky Tag Die and the sentiment from Teeny Tag Holidays, I stamped it onto kraft cardstock. The tag was attached using some Trendy Twine after punching a small hole in both the front and back of the mini candy holder.

So there is my project! What do you think??

I hope you will give this a try for your little Easter Bunnies!

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Have a GREAT hump day!!

Introducing the new
Chunky Tag Dies
and here is the project I made using these dies

OMG can you say AWESOME to this new set! There are 6 dies in this set making 3 layered tags or 6 tags if you don't want to layer them. 
For my project I used the 2 largest dies to make a tag mini card.
The base of my card is the largest tag die that I cut using kraft cardstock. I added a layer of designer paper and die cut that using the stitched layer die. 
Since I wanted to make a birthday card/tag, I pulled out the Party Hat Dies, used the smaller of the 2 party hats and die cut it using matching designer paper from the Boy oh Boy paper pack from Carta Bella.
Finally, my sentiment was stamped on a slant using the Perfect Matcha set. 
Some trendy twine completed my card/tag!
I LOVE these new tags so much and will be using this set a lot!! I know you guys are going to LOVE it too!!

MCT 76th New Release Sneak Day 2

Good Morning everyone
Happy Valentines Day
and
welcome to Day 2 of sneaks for the 76th New Release from 
My Creative Time!

Today is another GREAT inspiration day as the DT is sneaking the new sets
Cute Stitched Egg Tag Die & Egg Decorations (FREEBIE)
Take a look at what I made using these sets...

Miss Emma has done it again with another AWESOME tag die. Loving the adorable eggs and like always, designing quick tags make gift giving so fun!
For my project, I made a set of 5 tags all based around the center polka dot designed tag.

For that tag I used some pretty polka dot pattern paper from my stash to layer onto the Cute Stitched Egg Tag Die base.
The sentiment is from yesterdays sneak~ I'll Never Let You Go and then I added the adorable bunny from the Mini Lolly Add Ons set.

The other 4 tags, I kept on the simpler side using matching cardstock to the pattern paper but adding some extra texture to the eggs by stamping the polka dot stamp from the FREEBIE set onto each egg using Versamark Ink. It blends the colors from the paper perfectly to add that little bit of pop onto each egg.

Then sentiment is also from the FREEBIE set which I stamped onto each egg as well.

To finish off my tags. I added some Totally White Trendy Twine to the tops of each tag,

Happy Heart Day....{MCT 3D Wednesday}

Good Morning everyone and welcome to another

3D Wednesday with My Creative Time!

Love is in the air and I have a sweet Valentines Day treat idea to share using some older MCT goodies.

Take a look and let me know what you think!

One of my favorite MCT dies is the Treat Slider Box. You can whip up tons of these treat for any holiday using designer paper and changing up the sentiment.
To make my treat box, I used some pretty pink polka dot designer paper and die cut using the Treat Slider Box. For the inside slider part (I apologize that I do not have a pic) was die cut using some white cardstock.
The heart "love" sentiment is from the Heart 2 Heart Love Frame. The bottom layer was die cut with kraft cardstock and the "love" layer in white which I colored pink using my copic markers.
That was then popped up onto the front of the treat box.
The sentiment, from the I Adore You set, was stamped onto a Ribbon End Banner and placed also onto the front of the treat box.
For the treats inside, I used some Hershey nuggets (4 fit perfectly inside) and wrapped them with kraft and white cardstock using the matching scalloped die from the Treat Slider Box.
I finished off my project by wrapping the box with a piece of Totally White Trendy Twine and tying it into a bow.

A sweet treat perfect for Valentines Day!!!

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.
Thanks for stopping by and have a GREAT hump day!!

Happy Rainy Days KIT

And here is the card I made using the new kit.....

The inspiration behind this card comes from the sentiment. Once I read it I though of a rainbow right away and knew I wanted to incorporate that into my card.

To make this card, I started with a white piece of cardstock that I die cut using the Stitched Rectangular Frame Die.

Using some Distress inks, I created a rainbow panel  by blending the inks inside a taped off rectangle. Before pulling off the tape, I used the new cloud stencils and heat embossed them on top of the rainbow panel. 

The tape was then pulled off to reveal a beautiful rainbow and cloud embossed panel.

Using the new silhouette die, I die cut her using some black cardstock and she was partially popped up/glued down onto the card mat.

The sentiment was stamped onto the mat and for some extra details, I used another new die from the kit~ the smallest heart to die cut them with the same rainbow inked colors.

To complete my card, I added a Totally Black Trendy Twine ribbon around the whole card mat and popped the entire mat up onto a kraft cardstock base.
