MCT 96th New Release Sneak Day 4

Good Morning everyone and welcome to the final day of sneaks for the
96th New Release from MCT!
We have one more awesome new die to showcase....Introducing the
Money Holder Die
Take a look at my project and let me know what you think....

Ok how awesome is this new die....just in time for the holidays!

Oh the possibilies with decorating the new Money Holder Die!

For my project I used a pretty pattern paper for the money holder and then the Celebration Tags for the focal point. I layered black and white cardstock for the tag and then popped it up onto the front of the money holder.

The sentiment is from the Chalkboard Christmas stamp set and for some extra details I added red and silver gems to the snowflake and holly leaves.

A simple white Trendy Twine ribbon holds the envelope closed and adds a nice extra little bit of embellishing.

Just for You......{MCT 3D Wednesday}

Good morning everyone!

I hope you all had a great 4th of July! I am currently at the beach on vacation so I scheduled this ahead of our trip.

I know we are having an AWESOME time because.. well we are on vacation, we are camping and we are at the beach!!!

I am sharing a 3D today for My Creative Time's
"3D Wednesday"

This is where we share 3D projects, treat holders, gift cards, favors~ anything other than a card..

For this project I made a small treat holder using last releases set~ PinWheel Centers & the Small Stitched Pinwheel Die

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

One of my favorite 3D holders from MCT is the Treat Holder Die

The possibilities are endless when it comes to decorating and filling these adorable containers. For this project I used some fun printed designer paper from Doodlebug Designs and die cut the treat holder. Next I stamped the sentiment~ from Just a Note onto the front of the holder.

I filled a little bag with some baseball gum balls and then closed it up with some Trendy Twine.

To finish off my project, I die cut the Small Stitched Pinwheel along with the star center from the Pinwheel Centers and attached it with a brad to the top of my treat bag.

A sweet treat just for you!!

MCT 58th New Release BIG Reveal & Blog Hop

Good Morning and Happy Friday everyone!!

Welcome to the 58th New Release from My Creative Time!

Emma

You are not going to want to miss a thing! 

For my project, I get to showcase this releases FREEBIE set~
Happy Haunting
and here are the cutie Halloween suckers I made using this set. 

How fun are these?? I kinda wish my boys were younger so I could make more for them to hand out to their friends!! I love the way these turned out!!
So here is how I made them....I started with the Just a Note die to make the sucker holder. I folded it on the score line then scored it again about a quarter of an inch... that if you were to fold the entire piece it would make a square and leave enough room to comfortably place a sucker inside. 
Next I added a piece of designer paper die cut using the Stitched Squares set to layer into the note die. I pulled one of my favorite tag dies from the Holiday Tags set and stamped the sentiment from the new Happy Haunting set
That adorable ghost was die cut using some felt and the Stitched Spooky Ghost Die set. He was popped up onto the front of the tag and for his eyes I found these little enamel blings that worked perfectly!
Finally I filled each cover with a sucker and sealed it up with some Orange Licorice Trendy Twine.

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

Welcome to Day 4!!

For my project today I found a super cute 3D  Christmas tree in the Silhouette Store that holds some holiday treats! I cut the pieces out and put the box together using brown cardstock for the base and designer paper from Doodlebug Designs for the green tree.
To embellish my tree I grabbed a few older MCT stamps and dies! The sentiment is from the set "From Our Family to Yours" and fit perfectly on the base of the tree. 
To make my ornaments, I used the small circle die from the "Loyal Friends" set and then to die hanger from the "Warm Holiday Fun" set (not revised set). I popped my ornaments up onto the tree and stung them all together using some Totally White Trendy Twine.
Finally my tree wasn't complete without a big bright star! I used one of the "Bunch of Stitched Stars" die and gave it some extra sparkle using my Wink of Stella pen.

I hope you like my project for Day 4!
 *tip* for the day...

MCT 43rd New Release Sneak Day 1

My Creative Time 43rd 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~

Sweet Wishes (Freebie) & Better Together 

Here is the project I made using both of the sneak sets! I just LOVE these adorable mini coffee cups and when I saw that Emma had some fun new coffee stamps and dies I knew I had to use it for my project. I started my project off by making a holder for my coffee cup. I used kraft cardstock and added some pretty designer paper over top. Then using the Tag Gift Pocket Die, I made a spot to add my gift card. Next I wrapped my mini coffee cup in some matching designer paper and added some Chocolate Cupcake Trendy Twine.

Now moving on to the new releases...... I die cut the FAB new coffee cup and stamped the matching stamp onto some white cardstock. Added my designer paper coffee wrap and stamped the cute size using an older stamp set~ You Are Perk-fect. For the sentiment on the lid of the coffee cup, I used this releases freebie~Sweet Wishes. To finish my project off, I die cut the "sweet" sentiment, also part of the freebie and adhered it to the bottom of the cup.

Filled my gift card holder with a Tim Horton's GC and added some candies to my coffee cup and I have a sweet treat to give to a friend!!

If moms were flowers....I'd pick you!.....{Trendy Twine DT project}

Good Morning everyone!!
It is my DT day over on the Trendy Twine Blog!
 Each month the DT showcases one of our gorgeous twine colors along with a packaging item.  This month the Trendy Gals are spotlighting our gorgeous Tickled Pink Trendy Twine along with the newly added to the store Clear Take Out Boxes

Today I have a Mother's Day project to share!

These new Clear Take Out Boxes are so much fun to decorate and fill! For mine, I found the perfect sentiment from My Creative Time and then made my project around that. Not too long ago I found this mini flower pot/seed set and it happened to fit inside the box perfectly!!! But to fill up the extra space remaining in my box, I grabbed one of the Mini Wooden Spoons which would work as a mini shovel and tied some Tickled Pink Trendy Twine around the handle. 

I closed up the box and added a cutie little tag, tied onto the box with some more 

Tickled Pink Trendy Twine. I added my sentiment onto the front of the box with some more My Creative Time stamps and dies and this fun Mother's Day project was complete!

Here are the products I used from Annie's Paper Boutique:



Tickled Pink Trendy Twine

Merry Christmas....{PKS Face Day}

 Good Morning everyone!

 It is my day to share a Face Day project on the Peachy Keen Stamps blog!

Today I get to share a Christmas Treat I made using the adorable PK~481 Christmas Character Face which is one of the fun sets on sale all this month in the PKS store HERE

Christmas is always a fun time to make treats and give gifts. When I saw these adorable snowman boxes in the Silhouette Store I knew that with some PK cuteness and a matching sentiment that I could make something anyone would love to receive :)

Hope you like them!

Here is an up~close picture and I will tell you all how I made it.....

I started with the Santa Treat Box from the Silhouette Store and cut out all my pieces using cardstock from my stash. I then inked up the edges of the white pieces using some gray ink and placed them aside.

Using the Santa eyes from the PK-481 Christmas Character Faces, I stamped it onto my cream colored cardstock, added some chalk cheeks, colored his eyebrows in with my white gel pen and colored his nose in with some X-Mas red stickles.

Next I went about putting this all together...I stamped the sentiment onto the bottom using the PK-1345 Putsen & Jude Snow Couple set (also on special this month). Added a sparkly brad to his hat to hold the holly leaves in place. Added pop dots to his stash for a bit more dimension and popped the whole thing up onto the box base.

To finish my project, I added some mints in a clear pretzel bag that I ended up cutting down to fit better into my box and tied it closed with some Candy Cane Trendy Twine.

Here are the stamp sets I used for my project....

GREAT stamps for all your upcoming holiday projects!

Christmas in July FB Hop w/ PKS & KDB

So here is my project! A fun 3D treat box with lots of Peachy Keen Stamps and an adorable file from Kadoodle Bug Designs.

Here is a close-up of that cute new PKS face. I used one of the new releases from the Christmas in July Face Assortment. I colored his eye in with a green copic and a white gel pen, added some chalk to his cheeks as well as some more white gel pen highlights. For the reindeer cut, I didn't use the eyes and nose that came with the file, instead I added another PKS face, this one from the Bird Faces and More and then for his nose I used an enamel dot. I also changed up the snowflake, using a MCT die and adding silver chunky glitter to it, then popping it up onto the cut.

Here is the sentiment I used. It is again from a new release! the Musical Elves stamp set. I stamped it onto a MCT die, added another glittery snowflake and then attached it to my bow using a pear pin I picked up from my friend Beckie over at Just B Creative Crazy

Thrifty Thursday.....w/MCT

Good morning everyone and welcome to another

My Creative Time's Thrifty Thursday.

A day set aside to share any type of project using our scraps/leftovers or recycling items as well as using My Creative Time stamps and dies!

I recently got back from camping with my son and his 5th grade class...well before I left I had a HUGE pile of scrap papers and die cuts from projects that I had completed that needed to be put away. Of course time got the best of me and I hadn't had time to organize it all until this week. I knew that there was something in that pile that would be perfect for my project but little did I know that EVERYTHING on my project would be made using that pile.

So anyways..here is what I came up with. Hope you like it!

I found this Cute Sailor Gable Box file in the Silhouette Store and added my own touches of MCT goodies to make this project. For starters, I hid the face that came with the file and added a sweet PKS face instead. Then for the actual box itself, I cut it out using grey cardstock and then stamped the background using the new Striped Background stamp in Iced Spruce Distress Ink. 

The file came with a bottom strip that I changed out with the Make a Splash die! Don't you just love those pin point cuts in place of Emma's signature stitched lines? Finally I replaced the anchor from the original file and added my own using the small anchor die from  the Anchors & Heart Die set.

Once all the pieces were assembled and added to my gable box, I added my sentiment. Using a Stitched Oval Die piece that I had left over from another project, I stamped my sentiment using the new Hey Sailor stamp set. I attached the sentiment onto my gable box using a piece of In the Navy Trendy Twine.

I have to say I am pretty impressed with how this cutie turned out :)

My Creative Time Products Used:

Stripey Background Stamp

Hey Sailor!

Stitched Oval Die

Anchors & Heart Dies

Make a Splash

Other Products Used:

What do you think of my project?? I love using up scraps that would otherwise pile up and get forgotten about!

I know the inspiration is AWESOME!!!!

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

Face Day~ Garden Markers......{Peachy Keen Stamps}

Good Morning Everyone!
I am VERY excited about today's post!
It is my turn to share a "Face Day" project over on the Peachy Keen Stamps blog and boy do I have a CUTE project to share (if I must say so myself..LOL)

With the weather being SO cold and snowy here, I wanted to start thinking warmer thoughts, and one of my favorite times of the year is Spring Time....
because I get to plant my garden!
I LOVE going out there to pick my fresh veggies, and my boys will frequent the garden for a quick snack while running through the yard. A tomato here and there, a handful of sugar snap peas or a pepper~yes my oldest will eat a pepper like an apple.

So my project for today is some garden markers, which I can not wait to post by the plants.
I have several pictures to share, and if you want to see them closer, you can always click on the images.

So here we go....

I started by making 9 markers, and will add a few more over the next few weeks.
Each of the image are from SVG Cutting Files~ Kawaii Veggies. I pulled them into the Silhouette Designer Studio, sized them to fit the the base and erased the faces so I could stamp my Peachies on each of them.

Here are the 4 pepper markers. Each one was stamped with a different Peachy Keen Kawaii Face stamp. I used the Stitched Journal Die from My Creative Time as my base cutting them out using an assortment of polka dot papers from my stash. For the names, I die cut some banners from the Just Simply Live set and used the letters also from that set to spell out what each veggie is.

To add dimension to each of the veggies, I did use my white gel pen and some chalk for their faces. Before putting each of the pieces together, I inked the edges using Tim Holtz Distress inks.

To finish each of my markers off, I laminated them so hopefully they will last for many planting seasons. I hot glued some wood stakes to the backs and they are now ready to be placed in my garden!

So what do you think of my project???? 

Supplies Used:

Peachy Keen Stamps~ Kawaii Faces 1 1/8"

Peachy Keen Stamps~ Kawaii Face Assortment

My Creative Time~Just Simply Live w/Die

My Creative Time~ Stitched Journal Die

Assorted Polka Dot Pattern Paper
chalk, white gel pen, copics
laminator

I appreciate you stopping by to check out my project!!
Hoping that you too will make some of these fun and totally adorable garden markers!!

~~Don't forget there is the current Peachy Keen Stamps Photo/Color Inspiration challenge going on now. You can find all the details HERE.

~~ And the February Linky Party going on HERE. We want to see all those projects using the new February 2014 release!
