Today is our 3rd day of our 5 Days of Christmas! 

We all will be showcasing some quick & EASY Cards!

Check out my project and let me know what you think too

The best thing about Miss Emma's stamps and dies is how they all work so well together!

I love pairing up older sets with newer sets to make beautiful projects.

For my card today, I used the older set~ Christmas Greetings for the adorable snowflakes and paired it up with the new Christmas Cheer stamp.

I added some extra sparkle to the snowflakes using some small gems and mounted my whole card mat onto a kraft cardstock base.

A very quick and easy card to make!

MCT 92nd New Release Sneak Day 1.....{Sweet Little Smile}

Good Morning and welcome to
Day 1of sneaks for the 92nd New Release from My Creative Time!
We have 4 awesome days of sneaks showcasing some adorable new stamps and dies before Friday's BIG Reveal and Blog hop!
The DT hopes you will stop by each day for TONS of adorable inspiration using these new sets!

So lets get started on Day 1!!
Today we are showcasing the ADORABLE new stamp/die set~
Sweet Little Smile
Here is my inspiration...take a look and let me know what you think...

How adorable is this little elephant? I just LOVE her!
So to make my card I started with a kraft cardstock base, added a layer of pink cardstock and topped it with a piece of white cardstock that I die cut using the Stitched Rectangular Frame Die.
I did die cut some cute little stars into the top white layer using the Christmas Greetings set and Bunch of Stitched Stars set.
Next for the focal point of my card, I die cut a Stitched Circle in a pretty pink pattern paper and popped it up onto the card front. Using the new Sweet Little Smile set, I die cut my elephant and stamped the sentiment.
The elephant was colored with my copic markers and she was popped up onto the circle.
I also used the same pattern paper to paper piece her adorable little outfit.
For some added elements, I used the Stitched Circle Balloon Die, tied a white twine ribbon to it and popped it up above the elephant. Looks like she is holding it right?
A few more small white stars completed my card.

To make my project, I started with the Tag Dies and the Tag Die Layers. Cutting the base in kraft cardstock and the top layer in white cardstock.

Next using the snowflake stencil from the Christmas Greetings Kit I inked up the tag.

Using the More Stitched Edges Dies, I added a snow hill and the adorable new snowman die cut from Chill Out

I colored him using my prismacolor pencils and popped him up onto the front of the tag.

Some matching colored heart die cuts around the stamped sentiment completed my tag.

I attached the tag onto a pair of warm and cozy socks using some Peppermint Icicle Trendy Twine

Welcome to Day 2 of the MCT 5 Days of Christmas Celebration!
Today the DT is making Treat Holders!!!
Here is my project.....


A MCT favorite of mine is the Milk Carton Die. It is the perfect little size to fill with some treats for a quick and easy holiday gift.
To make mine, I used some pretty plaid designer paper from my stash to give my project a kinda rustic look.
The Christmas tree was die cut from the Christmas Greetings Kit  and popped up onto the front of the milk carton. 
For the tag, I used the Fun Stitched Tag Dies and the sentiment from the No Peeking set.
The tag was attached to the milk carton with a piece of Totally White Trendy Twine and a cute red clothes pin.

Happiest Wishes On Your Birthday....{MCT Cook N Craft}

Good Morning Everyone and Happy Monday!

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! As the weather cools down, my family moves from cooking on the grill to making yummy soups for dinner.

Today's project is a card using the newest stencil from the recently released Christmas Greetings Kit and one of our FAVORITE winter soups~ Stuffed Pepper Soup

 Lets take a look at my project first!

Birthday cards are always low in my stash so when I saw the new Christmas Greetings Stencil with the mix of snowflakes and polka dots, I knew I wanted to use those for a birthday card.
To make my card, I used just the polka dots and a mix of Tim Holtz distress ink for a fun patterned background of my card. The awesome part of using the stencil, the colors can be coordinating to whatever you want...holiday related...gender related or just themed to match designer paper you use.
I used all ink for this card, matching the present to the background by inking up a scrap piece of paper to die cut the pieces from the Cute Gift Tag Die 
Once the pieces of the present were die cut, I popped
it up onto a circle using the More Stitched Circle Die
Finally, the sentiment on my card comes from the set You Make Life Sweet
A fun and festive birthday card!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now for my recipe.....
Stuffed Pepper Soup

OMG it is so yummy and perfect for a cold/rainy night like we had last night!
This recipe freezes AMAZING and is even better the next reheated!
I highly recommend trying this if you like stuffed peppers! You will LOVE this!

So I hope you have enjoyed my birthday card and yummy recipe!

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

I introduce to you:
"Christmas Greetings Kit"

And here is my inspiration.....

Totally LOVING the new polka dots stencil so I used those to make a CAS Christmas card.
When using the stencil, I taped up the snowflake parts so I didn't mistakenly stamp those while inking my polka dots.
I used Tim Holtz Distress Ink and randomly inked up the dots with the red and green ink.
No set pattern for a fun extra colorful design.
Once I was all inked up, I pulled off the stencil to make sure all the areas I wanted inked were covered.
Next I stamped the sentiment, which happened to fit exactly inside a blank spot on my card in between those fun polka dots!
Moving onto the present, I used the new dies that are part of this kit and die cut the present, and bow using scrap cardstock.
The present was added right above the sentiment.
To finish my card, I popped up the card mat onto a white cardstock A2 size card.
