Have a Sweet Valentine's Day.......{Tag it Tuesday w/MCT}

Good Morning and welcome to 

Tag it Tuesday w/My Creative Time!

Today the DT will be sharing tag projects using of course My Creative Time stamps and dies!

Since Valentine's Day is fast approaching, I thought I would share some sweet Valentine treats using 2 newly released stamp and die sets. Hopefully for all you MCT fan's, this will give you another fun ans easy idea for when your HAPPY MAIL arrives :)

So here is what I made....

I LOVE making candy sticks and adding a fun tag to the tops. Not only do they look awesome but give alittle extra surprise to the person receiving them. For these, I started out using the Just Tags Dies, cutting the bottom layer using kraft cardstock and the top layer using pink polka dot paper. Next I used the new heart die from the Heart 2 Heart Love Frame and die cut 3 using some red cardstock.  I popped the hearts up onto the center of the tags and then arranged the sentiments to fit around the heart. I used the sentiments from the new You Make My Heart Smile stamp set, placing one on top of the heart and the other below the heart. Next I used the banner die from the Just Simply Live set and die cut that out using white cardstock. My "valentine" sentiment fit perfectly across that die!

Here is another angle of the tags. Simple to put together and perfect for class parties or to give to the kiddo's :)

And here is what the candy sticks look like all put together. I added some holiday M & M's to the skinny candy bags and then tied the tags to the tops of the bags using some Cherry Cupcake Trendy Twine. 

I used the current MCT Designer's Challenge picture for my inspiration. Pulling the kraft, pink and red colors from the picture as well as the heart :)

Cupcake Thanks Candy Sticks...{Challenge Project}

Good Morning everyone! 

I am popping in with a non DT related project, but with an entry for a few challenges!

It has been a while since I played along with any so I thought I would share an order I just completed that happened to fit into a few I love to play along with.

A friend of mine contacted me looking for some birthday party favors. She wanted some candy sticks, purple~her daughters favorite color~ a birthday theme with a thank you message so these are what I created.

Hope you like them!

Candy sticks are so fun to make! Decorating the tags to fit the theme, have just endless possibilities. For my tags, I used some freebie images I got from Paper Smooches (links down below) and I designed them to fit inside my circle and scallop die cut~ all using my Silhouette Designer Studio.

Once I had the design in place, I printed and cut the shapes, assembled the tag and then added diamond stickles to the frosting and cotton candy stickles to the cherries.
Once they were all dry, I attached them to my skinny candy bags (already filled with white and purple candy jewels) with some Grape Fizz Trendy Twine.

Supplies Used:

Paper Smooches Cupcake Freebie

Paper Smooches Sentiment Freebie

Purple, white cardstock

PPPR Halloween White Polka Dots digi paper

Trendy Twine Grape Fizz

Trendy Twine Skinny Candy Bags

diamond stickles

cotton candy stickles

And there are my treats. I am sure hoping my friend and the birthday girl love these!!!
That is all I have to share for today. Thanks so much for stopping by and have a GREAT day!!
