MCT 34th New Release Blog Hop!

Good Morning 

and 

Welcome to the much anticipated 

34th New Release from My Creative Time!

This week has been so much fun with the DT sharing amazing projects and inspiration! But we have one more day of AWESOME~NESS! 

Now you should be coming from the VERY talented

Candace

but if you are just stopping in, make sure to head back to the start~ the AMAZING 

Emma

You are not going to want to miss a thing! She really ROCKED this release (well she always does, doesn't she?? Of course!!)

Today I get to showcase the Fun Letter Background stamp and I have 2 projects to share with you all..perfect for Back to School time!!

Here is what I made....a card and a Hand Santizer holder. Now this would surly make the first day of school and the teacher super happy! LOL! 

Let's take a closer look at these.......

First up is my card. I used the AWESOME new Fun Letter Background stamp, and stamped it onto some white card stock. Then I went about building my card on top.  I used all products from MCT except the apple which I cut using my cameo and a file I found in the Silhouette Store. For the paper, I used the 3x4 Journal Die and then just added the paper top using one of the Fun Stitched Edges Die. For the lines on the paper, I used the Get Schooled Stamp set! Always fun to mix in older stamps and dies with the new release!!!! Finally, I used the back to school sentiment from the All Around Everything stamp set and the adorable pencil from the All Around Everything Accessories set. I colored the pencil with my copics, popped it up onto my card and tied some Trendy Twine around the paper to add a little bit more embellishments.  Such a sweet back to school card :)

Next up is my matching Hand Sanitzer Cover. A while back I designed this file and made some cute Christmas Hand Sanitizer covers using my PKS. We all know how much teachers use this germ juice so I used my file again for a back to school one to match my card!

I used the Fun Letter Background stamp again on the die cut panels of my project and then stamped the matching sentiment for the front again. Once the Hand Sanitzer Cover was put together,  I closed it off with some more Trendy Twine.

***If you are interested in this file, I have placed it into my Etsy Store for purchase HERE. It is very easy to put together! The files includes the base, 2 panels (one for the front and one for the back and a center holder for a small Bath and Body Works Hand Sanitizer. These are ALWAYS on sale and perfect for those last minute gifts!! Plus these can be embellished to fit ANY holiday!!***

And here is the card I made..

I used the current Deconstructed Sketch seen HERE for my card design and matched several older MCT stamps and dies with the new releases we are showcasing today! Always fun to go back into my MCT stash of goodness and play :)

Anyways here is how I made my card for today. Yeah I know it is a bit away from Halloween, but when I saw the sketch, I wanted to use the What a View! die with the new Alpha Pack! LOVE how those letters fit inside the viewfinder!!!

Ok back to how I put this together. I started with some kraft cardstock as my card base and added a layer of MME designer paper. Then using one of my FAVORITE dies~ the 3x4 Journal die, I layered my focal piece onto that. Again I used the What a View! die and stamped "boo" into the open spaces. Next I die cut 2 different Stitched Chevy Dies, the largest of the new Trio Stitched Banners and the adorable ghost from the Stitched Spooky Ghost Die set all in pattern papers from the MME Mischievous paper pack. Then I stamped my sentiment onto the banner die using the Fright Night stamp set and popped the banner up onto the front of my card. I also added some pop dots to the ghost and die cut an extra "eye" to add to the ghosts mouth :)

Some enamel dots to the corners of my journal die and my card was completed!

And here is the card I made..

This card was not how it started out...it was a work in progress that changed multiple times before becoming this and I have to say that I LOVE the way it turned out! (hope you do too!)

Anyways here is how I made this....I used all my papers from the MME Cut & Paste paper pack. I stamped the sentiment, which is the new Dream Bigger stamp ~that will the freebie offered to the first 100 customers~ in the center of my journal die.

 I then went and embellished around that focal point adding several different things. First I lightly stamped one of the Geo Border stamps up the side of the journal die. Then using one of the Fun Stitched Edges die, I added that onto the side of the journal die. To hold that all onto my card mat, I added some machine stitching to the upper right hand corner of the journal die. 

Next I die cut the arrow from the 4x4 Journal Die + More set and popped it up facing the sentiment. A few randomly placed enamel dots along that side give a bit more dimension and fun to the card.

Finally I used the Stitched Pretty Flowers & Leaves Die to cut out a small flower. Before adding it to my card, I stamped all the pieces with another Geo Border to add some more texture to those pieces.

Dream Bigger (New Release)

Geo Borders (New Release)

Stitched Journal Die

I made this card by stamping the Grainy Background stamp onto some kraft cardstock.

Then using the Large Cloud Bubble Die, I die cut it 2 times, once in white cardstock and then again in black cardstock so that I could layer it to give it a fun shadowy look.

Next I stamped my sentiment and die cut the adorable pup, both using the Loyal Friends stamp set. Once everything was assembled on the stamped mat, I added a May Arts bow and glued the whole mat onto my card base. Finally to finish my card off, I added some randomly placed hearts using the Stitched Heart Layering Die

So for my card, I used the sketch and pulled 2 colors from the color pallet to come up with this card....hope you like it!

I so LOVE the  July release stamps and just had to make another card using the new Snow Hugs Snowman. I did a a lot of paper piecing for her hat, scarf and gloves and then popped her up onto a circle die cut from MCT.

For the "starburst" part of my card, I watched this video on youtube for the idea on how go about making it. I have never made one of these cards, so this video was perfect.To add more details to my card, I did go ahead and add some machine stitching in between each of the pattern papers. I really like the way that turned out!

I finished my card off with some Trendy Twine and the sentiment, also from  the new Snow Hugs Snowman stamp set.

Supplies Used:

Peachy Keen Stamps~ Snow Hugs Snowman

Now onto my project... which I think is so super ADORABLE if I must say so myself :)

I can not get enough of these ADORABLE new snowmen!!! For my card I used the new Snow Hugs Snowman and the cute matching sentiment for my card. I started with a Kraft cardstock base and added a layer of white and designer paper for my mats. Taking that through my sewing machine for a little bit of an extra border, I placed that aside and went onto paper piecing my snowman cutie! After stamping the image onto my designer paper, I cut out the scarf, gloves and hat and pieced them onto my image. I added some diamond stickles to the edges of the gloves and the hat, LOVE that extra sparkle!
To embellish my card further, and to go in theme of the adorable sentiment, I added a bunch of MCT die cut hearts. I even added 2 in place of my snowman's buttons....SO CUTE!
The snowman was then popped up onto my card front, after I added some chalk and white gel pen to his cheeks and some copic highlights to her body.

Here is the side pic of my card and another view of the CUTE new snowman!!!!

Christmas In July... PKS July New Release Sneak #1

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

No, no, no… NOT outside, but at Peachy Keen Stamps it’s looking a whole lot like Christmas!!

Welcome to our annual Christmas in July Release!

Here we are celebrating Christmas in the midst of Summer and 4th of July celebrations!  This is a much anticipated event for us, and tonight we kick off our sneak peeks by showcasing five adorable stamps sets that will have you excited and ready to get started on your 2014 holiday projects.   You DO know there are only 174 days left until Christmas don’t you?   Take a break from the Summer heat and grab something cool to drink and join us as we share projects made with:

PKSC-31 July 2014, 
PK-1410 Christmas In July Faces (Assortment and 1 1/8″ sizes), 
PK-1412 Snow Hugs Snowman, 
and 
PK-1413 SMILE Snowman.

I have 2 cards to share for tonight...so lets get started!

Isn't this snowman adorable??? I just LOVE Kathy's drawings!! 
I did a bunch of paper piecing with this guy, for his hat, scarf and mittens and then added some stickles to the fluffy parts :)
Keeping my card simple, I used a pattern paper for the background and then added some randomly placed snowflake dies (stickled up of course) to the background. Using the sentiment from the stamp set, I added it to the center of another snowflake die...popping it up for some more dimension.

Here is a side view of that adorable snowman!!!!

And then for my next card....
I am not so sure I like the LO of this one. I had something pictured in my mind and it didn't turn out as I thought :( Maybe is it that background paper.
BUT I LOVE those singing elves!!!!

I colored them both using my well used copic markers.... I need to get a few of them refilled

(doesn't that always seem the case...have a project to do and then your markers run out...couldn't go to the store at 11pm either..oh well)

To add some more to the images, I used my white gel pen and some chalk for the face as well as some random doodles. 

Some silver stickles to match the silver jingle bells, some Trendy Twine and the sentiment placed behind a punched out window and my card was completed.

Another side view of the CUTE elves!
