To My Bunny!......{Made in Minutes w/MCT}

Good Morning and welcome to

My Creative Time's~ Made In Minutes!

Where the MCT DT will be sharing quick and easy projects using MCT stamps and dies that you can recreate in no time. 

For today's project I thought I would whip up a few Easter treats..... 

I found these cute carrot cut files in the Silhouette store and cut them out using orange card stock. They were very plain jane so to dressed them up a bit by stamping each carrot with 2 of the chevy stamps from MCT Build a Chevy. One in Wild Honey and the other in Gathered Twigs. After filling these treats with some goodies, I closed them up with some May Arts Ribbon and added my oh so cute bunny tag.

For my tag I used one of the banners dies from the Build a Banner set and just flipped it upside down to add my hole to the top. I stamped the tag then with a sentiment from the Teeny Tag Holidays and again with the cute bunny silhouette from the Hello Spring stamp set. Some stickles to his tail and a fun pear pin to hold the tag onto my carrot and my treats were completed!

And all under 15 minutes per treat! 

Supplies Used:

Paper~ Bazzill Orange, White

Stamps~ My Creative Time~

Build A Chevy Background

Teeny Tag Holidays

Hello Spring

Inks~ Versafine Onxy Black

Tim Holtz~ Wild Honey, Gathered Twigs

Dies/Cuts~ My Creative Time~

Holiday Gifts w/Ribbon.....{3GJ Challenge #31}

Morning and Happy Friday everyone!!

I am back hosting the final challenge for 2013 for 3 Girl JAM. 

 This is also the last challenge that I will be hosting as well. After over 2 years on the DT I have decided to step down to pursue other opportunities. I have enjoyed SO much being the DT Challenge Coordinator and working with Julie's gorgeous ribbon! Since I am such a HUGE fan of it, you will be sure to see me sharing LOTS more projects using it as well. I will have one more posting to share on Dec 27th so make sure to check that out as well. It will be a look back at some of my favorite projects!
So with that out of the way :( I want to share that 3GJ is having a DT call!
you can find out all the details HERE!
Julie is awesome to work with and like I said before~her ribbon is AWESOME!!

Now onto this week's challenge which is~ 

Holiday Gifts w/Ribbon

The challenge will be open for 3 weeks, 

Dec 13th~ Jan 2nd 2014
so plenty of time to create and share!!

Our challenge is being sponsored by:

with a $10 Gift Certificate to the 3Girl JAM store!

Awesome prizes for sure!!!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Now onto my project!
I wanted to make something little that could be mass produced and handed out as holiday gifts to co-workers, neighbors, teachers, or just about anyone who you need a gift for.
I picked up these cute mini paint pails from Michaels and came up with these....

Since the pails were plain...I used my cameo and some vinyl to cut this adorable reindeer.

After the vinyl was applied, of course it needed a cute tag! I used the Tiny Tags Die from My Creative Time and the Tiny Tag Holidays stamp set for the sentiment and tied it to the handle of the pain with some of the new Ribbon Candy Crinkle Ribbon from 3GJ

I only picked up 2 buckets and will have to head back to Michael's to get some more. What a super fun way to give a Holiday Gift~don't you think???

I sure hope you have enjoyed my project and will play along with us over at the 

3 Girl JAM Challenge Blog!

'Tis The Season w/Ribbon.....{3GJ Challenge # 30}

Morning and Happy Friday everyone!!

I am back hosting the new challenge for

3 Girl JAM 

and

this week's challenge is~ 

'Tis The Season w/Ribbon

The challenge will be open for 2 weeks, 

November 29th~Dec 12th
so plenty of time to create and share!!

Our challenge is being sponsored by:

with a $10 Gift Certificate to the 3Girl JAM store!

Awesome prizes for sure!!!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Now onto my project!
I recently won the new Echo Park 'Tis the Season paper pack and couldn't wait to jump into it! I was however holding onto it for the perfect project....
and I think I have found it!

OOOHHHH isn't this so fun??

Here is how I made it~

I used files I picked up from the Silhouette Store

~3D Sled with Present

~3D Presents

and my cameo to cut the sled and 3 presents, all using the coordinating Echo Park papers.

For each of the presents, I wrapped 3GJ crinkle ribbon in Ribbon Candy, Dress White, and Holly Berry. The great thing about the presents is there is room in them for little treats~so fun!!

Then for the sacks I used the small 2" x 3" Cotton Muslin Bags. They are just the cutest and work awesome for holding 2 chocolate nuggets. Since I wanted them more rustic looking, I un~stitched the top, pulled out the drawstring and using my scissors cut off the top.

I stamped the cut Christmas tree using Peeled Paint Distress Ink and the stamp from My Creative Time~ From Our Family to Yours. I wanted to add a bit more color to it, so I added some stickles to the tree and a yellow dot to the top for the star.

(which you can't see due to my bag being folded alittle)

To finish it off, I tied some Moss Jute String around the top and they were ready for the sled.

My sled needed one more thing....a sentiment which I found fit perfectly.

I used My Creative Time~Stitched Oval Die and again the stamp From Our Family to Yours for the "Believe" adding some black brads and foam pop dots.

I sure hope you have enjoyed my project and will play along with us over at the 

3 Girl JAM Challenge Blog!

Remember this challenge will run for 2 weeks so lots of time to get your

'Tis the Season w/Ribbon 

projects in!!

Thanks so very much for stopping by!!

Have a GREAT Friday!!

Happy Thanksgiving!......{w/Trendy Twine}

Good Morning and Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!
I hope you all have a GREAT day with family and friend and eat WAY too fun yummy turkey...LOL
Every year my husband and I do the cooking and I just LOVE the way the house smells!
Good times, lots of laughs and yummy food....who could ask for more?

Now onto my card....a few of the Trendy Twine DT decided to do another group post sharing Thanksgiving projects~ so make sure you stop by the Trendy Twine blog to see the other projects.
Here is my simple but pretty adorable Thanksgiving card.....

I used a card base file from Lori Whitlock and added designer paper from The Paper Loft.
I did tie a simple bow of Orange Truffle Trendy Twine around the bottom of the card top and then knotted the ends.

For the image, I used a stamp from Inkadinkado that I have had in my stash forever! It has never been inked up and I am so glad I used it...how cute is it...right?

I did scan the image into my computer and then imported the scanned image to the Silhouette Studio. Once there, I did a trace of the image and then made an offset of the image at 0.075. Tada...now you have a perfectly shaped cut of the stamped image . I took it one step further and made another offset so I could add a colored mat to the back of the stamped image.

Once I cut the image out, I stamped it and then colored it using my copic markers and as well as adding some gold stickles to his hat and shoe buckles.

Here is another pic so you can see the dimension of the image as well as see the fun wave shape of the card base.  To finish my card I stamped my sentiment using Joy's Life Stamps~It's All Fall Puns.

Supplies Used:

Paper~ 

The Paper Loft~Funkysaurus

Kraft, Bazzill Brown

Stamps~ 

Joy's Life Stamps~It's All Fall Puns

Inkadinkado~ Halloween Mini Assortment

Cuts/Dies~

Turkey time is just around the corner so I thought I would make a cute Thanksgiving project that would be so fun to add to the Thanksgiving table....
An adorable Turkey Candy stick!!

Isn't this adorable!!!! I just LOVE those Clear Skinny Candy Bags! They make great party treats and with a cute topper like this turkey...who wouldn't LOVE one of these :)

Here is that cutie up close.....I actually used a file from the Silhouette Store for a Turkey pencil topper and replaced the pencil with the Candy Bag~ filled with M&M's.

The Turkey was cut using some Kraft Cardstock and designer paper from Echo Park~Reflections Fall paper pack.

I then stamped the Turkey Face from Peachy Keen Stamps~Critter Faces set

and wrapped some Orange Truffle Trendy Twine around his neck.

Finally I used the Happy Fall! stamp set from My Craft Spot for the sentiment.

So there is my project....Make sure to stop over to the Trendy Twine blog to see what the other DT members have created!

Got Candy????.......{Halloween Treat}

Good morning 
and 
Happy Hump Day!!

I am back again with another fun Halloween treat idea...this one using a file from the Silhouette store that was SO easy to put together!
Here it is...hope you like it :)

I used the Candy Corn box file from Lori Whitlock and cut my colored pieces using scrap from my stash. I machined stitched the layers onto the box but before putting the box together I stamped my sentiment from Jaded Blossom's~ Got Candy stamp set.

Once the box was assembled, I added a button from my stash and some Totally White Trendy Twine.

So there is my project and short and sweet post!

Thanks so much for stopping by today and have a GREAT hump day!

Good Morning Everyone and Happy HUMP Day :)

~if you are looking for the Totally Limeade Trendy Twine Blog Hop please click HERE~

I have a fun project to share with you all today for the current Peachy Keen Stamps Challenge. 

This week the challenge was
 Just Cards: Can I Have That Recipe?
Create a card using the theme of Recipe. Ever been invited to a shower that asks you to include a recipe for the bride-to-be? Maybe a friend or loved one is moving to a new home and could use a welcoming gift of a dish and it's recipe? Use your creativity to somehow include a recipe with your card. 

And here is what I came up with.......
I have been waiting for the perfect time to try out a recipe I found in my many hours of Pinterest~ing and knew this challenge would be perfect for it!
So I made a fun card/gift box using a freebie file Ruthie from September Ninth so generously shared HERE. 
I used the Tea Light Gift Card but instead of the candles I  added some of my YUMMY Pumpkin Spice Creamer. 
Hope you like it!

So what do you think??? Turned out pretty cute if I could say so myself :)

So here is how I made this.....

Like I said above, I took the Gift Card Holder file and cut it out using my Cameo and some Kraft Card stock. Next I cut the pattern paper from Echo Park Reflections Fall paper pack, die cut the cute coffee cup and pumpkin (which you will see in the next pic) and paper pieced them with the EP paper as well. Once the box was all assembled with the pattern paper, I moved onto making the card/tag for the inside.

I will share the recipe first, I did type it out and then die cut it to fit the back of the tag. I tried writing it with my handwriting and it was not working out like I had hoped, so typed it is.  This is such an easy recipe....basically combining all the ingredients and storing until you are ready to put it in your coffee. Like the recipe says, use 1~2 tsp depending on your taste. Since this is about sharing the recipe, I shared some of the yummy creamer too. I used the Skinny Candy Bags I get from Trendy Twine and added 2 tsp per bag. It is the perfect amount to fill exactly half the bag, so I was able to fold over the top, use the pre~taped tab and attach it to the bottom. Even better, those half skinny bags fit perfectly inside the box. I only put in 2 but 3 would also fit.

Finally here is the front of the card/tag where a note can be written to the lucky recipient :)

There is the pumpkin that I die cut and paper pieced as well as some Trendy Twine Chocolate Truffle and the beautiful Ivory Twill Ribbon from my friend Beckie's Store~

Sparkly Sweet Craft Notions.

Supplies Used:

Paper~
Kraft , White
Echo Park~Reflections Fall

Stamps~ 
Peachy Keen Stamps~Faceless Fall Fun
Peachy Keen Stamps~ September SOTM
My Creative Time~ Mixed Holiday Sentiments

Dies/Cuts~
Gift Card Holder~Ruthie (September Ninth)

Tag~ Silhouette Store
My Creative Time~ Stitched Ticket Die

Totally Limeade New Release.....{Trendy Twine Blog Hop}

Good Morning 

and 

Welcome to the Totally Limeade New Release Hop!!

The Trendy Twine DT is kicking off the month of October with a blog hop to showcase one of the newest colors joining the Trendy Twine family......

introducing Totally Limeade

Think of all the awesome things you can do with this gorgeous color! And since Halloween is only a few weeks away, we are all sharing fun Halloween projects using this new color!

You should be coming from
 Helen 
if not you want to hop back over to 
Trendy Twine
you are not going to want to miss anything!

Now I am sure you want to get to my project...

I made a fun Witch's Hat using a file from

SVG Cuts.... here it is, hope you like it!

What do you think???

Here is how I did this.... 

I cut the witch's hat using a file from the Gimme Candy Boxes  using my Cameo. Instead of using the band for the hat, I took my Totally Limeade Trendy Twine and some ATG tape and ran lines of the twine to cover the band. I did add some Mono Aqua Liquid Glue to the edges to give it some extra holding power as well as ran a stitch along each of the corners  for a decorative look and so I knew the twine wasn't moving.

Next I added some more Totally Limeade Trendy Twine to attach my sentiment ticket. The twine goes through the top of the hat and is taped inside but the ticket is free floating, I just tied the twine in a bow and stuck it under the buckle of the hat.

How adorable is this?? 
The witch's hat opens up to hold some treats...
Bet this would make someone's Halloween extra special

Supplies Used:

Paper~ Bazzill Black, Purple

Stamps~ My Creative Time~Fright Night

Cuts/Dies~ SVG Cuts~Gimme Candy Boxes
