MCT 36th New Release Sneak Peek Day 4

Good Morning and welcome to Day 4 of sneaks for the new

My Creative Time 36th  Release!

So what did you think of yesterday's projects and sneak??? Pretty AWESOME right???
Wait until you see this set of stamps and dies!!

Today the DT will be showcasing projects using the new set~

All You Need is Coffee

This is so how I start out my morning...a cup of steaming hot coffee while the house is still quiet :)
And here is my inspiration....

How super CUTE are those coffee mugs?? And did you see that fun stitched embossed "steam"?? Plus I am so LOVING the new word die!!
So here is how I made this CAS card. I again used my new favorite die~ the Stitched Rectangle Frame Die for my card mat and added 2 of the new die cut coffee mugs. After positioning them where I wanted them, I used the "steam heart" and embossed it above the cups. For some extra sparkle, I colored it in using my Wink of Stella clear glitter pen.

Next using the sentiment from the new All You Need is Coffee set, I stamped it onto the banner die from the Just Simply Live set. I die cut the "coffee" word using the matching pattern paper and finished off my card with some random enamel dots.

MCT 36th New Release Sneak Peek Day 3

Good Morning and welcome to Day 3 of sneaks for the new

My Creative Time 36th  Release!

Again another AWESOME day yesterday of sneaks right??? We have much more to share!!!!!

Today the DT will be showcasing projects using the new set~

A Thankful Heart
This beautiful set will surely make sending Thanksgiving cards very easy! The perfect sentiments and matching leaf dies are such a great addition to the MCT family!
Here is my inspiration for today.......

Can you tell I just LOVE that Stitched Rectangle Frame die??? I used it again on my card mat, this time die cutting it out using Kraft cardstock and stamping the Grainy Wood Background onto it.
Then using another die from the Stitched Rectangle Die set, I die cut an opening in the center of my card and then cut a very thin frame to add to the outside. I added the die cut "grateful" to the center then stamped the sentiment underneath.

Using the new leaf dies from this set, I die cut 2 different ones (can you see the beautiful embossed design that these have??? They are so pretty). Next I added them to the card front, under some natural hemp twine and a brown button.
Finally I embellished with some random enamel dots and my card was complete!

MCT 36th New Release Sneak Peek Day 2

Good Morning and welcome to Day 2 of sneaks for the new

My Creative Time 36th  Release!

So what did you think of yesterday's projects and sneak??? Pretty AWESOME right???
Well there is TONS more!!!!

Today the DT will be showcasing projects using the new set~

Wicked Fun Dies & Trick or Treat
I am super exited for these stamps and dies! I just LOVE Halloween time and these are so perfect for all your Halloween projects!
Here is my card for today.... Have to say I LOVE this one :)

OMG how fun is that spider and web?? Emma really knows how to WOW us all with her creativity when it comes to designing new stamps and dies!

Anyways I wanted to keep the spider, his web and the sentiment as my focal point so I made my card pretty simple. I again used my new favorite die~ the Stitched Rectangle Frame and die cut one layer in designer paper. I made a smaller rectangle shape using the same die to layer on top. Before adding the layer, I die cut the new web and cut it in half to place behind the top rectangle layer. I wrapped it with some Trendy Twine and adhered it to my card mat. Next I die cut that fun new spider, stamped my sentiment onto some white card stock and die cut it out using one of the Bunches of Circle Dies. 

I then popped the sentiment up onto the card as well as popping the spider up hanging down from the sentiment. I added a glittery enamel dot to the spot where the spider web hangs down to the spider and my card was complete!

Rectangular Stitched Frames & More
we have been sneaking the rectangle stitched frames for a while now...getting you all super excited about this new die!!! So here is the card I made using this new set.... 

Aren't those card mats just AWESOME???  Sure love the stitching that Miss Emma added to these!! 
So here is how I made my card. I die cut 2 of the different shaped rectangle dies, one in white cardstock and the other in the designer paper. I added a smaller rectangle stitched die in between the two layers by using the same die and just manipulating the cuts to make the size I wanted. Next I die cut both of the new frames, again in my matching designer paper and stamped my sentiment onto the bottom right hand corner.

Next I added some of the leaf dies cuts from the Piles of Smiles set and tied them all together using some orange hemp twine.
I corner layer of burlap for texture and some random enamel dots and my card was completed!

PKS September New Release Day 2

Hey there everyone!

How about that first day of sneak peeks? Pretty amazing, right? Well we have more!!

Welcome to Day #2 of sneak peeks for the PKS September 2014 Release!

Tonight we are sharing some outstanding creations using four new stamp sets that were originally designed and created to go with various other stamp sets or themes that have been previously released. Each month as Kathy begins her creative process, she takes sketches and ideas from a specific theme and runs with it. There's no way she could possibly include each and EVERY sketch or idea in every release, but some of them are just too darned cute NOT to make the cut at some point. 
This is where this release comes in. This evening you will see creations using the 
Haunted A2 Background, 
Birch Frame Background, 
Ballet Bears, 
and 
Smile Eagle.

For my sneak today I used the new Ballet Bears set and made a very girly tag :)
Hope you like it!

Here is how I made this tag.

 I used the MCT Tag Dies and Tag Die Layers for the for both the tag and mat. I added some ruffles using the Fun Stitched Edges die and then stamped the sentiment onto the bottom of my tag. 

The for the adorable ballet bear, I stamped her and cut her out. Next I colored her using my copics as well as paper pieced her dress. For some extra embellishing, I added some Cotton Candy stickles to her shoes, belt and hat as well as to her star wand.

I finished my tag off with a sheer pink ribbon.

Supplies Used:

Peachy Keen Stamps~ Ballet Bear (New Release)

My Creative Time~ Fun Stitched Edges

Tag Die Layers

Tag Dies

stickles, chalk, white gel pen, ribbon, copics

MME~Marker paper pad

PKS September New Release Day 1

Hey there everyone!!!!

It's sneaky peeky time once again and we are so excited to have you join us tonight and tomorrow night for some crafty fun that will feature images for many special occasions!

Do you ever find yourself beginning to create a birthday card or project and just wish you had a simple "go to" stamp set that you could make great use of? One for any age, boy, girl, man, woman, friends, etc...? I think all of us have found ourselves in that place. In need of a set that we can quickly and easily create something fabulous with, or use those same images to add wonderful details to a more complex creation. Well, look no further, because that's just what we have for you!

Here's a little bit about where inspiration for this month's Stamp of the Month came from in Kathy's words...

Last month, I personally had several milestone birthdays to send cards out for. I found myself wishing I had a simple yet versatile birthday stamp set! I think if I would have had these stamps around I TOTALLY would have used them.

Happy and Healthy Hugs to All!"

:)

Kathy Jakopovich

Along with a super versatile birthday set, this month we have some great add on stamp sets

that will go just beautifully with previously released themes. Tonight we bring you designer creations using 

PKSC-33 Stamp of the Month set, 

PK-1428 Sentiments for September 2014,

 and 

PK-1429 and PK-1430, which are the newest faces to PKS.

 The Variety Face Assortment and Variety Faces 1 1/8 inch faces will allow you to add some new peachy cuteness to your creations.

I have 2 cards to share with you tonight, both using the new SOTM set.

For my first card I went CAS and used the adorable birthday present and the sentiment. I stamped everything on kraft cardstock and then stamped the present a second time to color with my copics. I then cut it out and adhered it to the center of my card base. A small red stickled center, the mat popped up on a white card base and this was finished. 

Then for my next card I again used the same set~ the September SOTM and came up with this....

I apologize for the not so great picture...I was having a hard time taking this one..maybe because of the papers??? Anyways... for this card I used the one of the balloons from the new set and that awesome new PK face...LOL isn't it adorable?? I stamped everything onto some designer paper and then added some chalk and white gel pen to his face. Next I die cut another strip of designer paper using the sneak peek die from MCT (which also happens to be the card mats for both of my cards) and stamped the sentiment. I layered the balloon onto the card mat, added some randomly placed matching enamel dots and completed my card with a Totally Natural Trendy Twine balloon string.

 PRIZES :: PRIZES :: PRIZES!!!

We will be choosing one lucky winner from all the comments on the PKS Blog, AND Designer Blogs to receive all of the stamp sets being showcased this evening. That gives you one chance to win for each comment you leave! Good luck, and enjoy!!! 
ALL winners from sneak peeks and our Release and Reveal Blog Hop will be announced on Monday, September 6th.

Thanks for stopping by and we'll see you tomorrow! 
Same time... Same place!!!
