Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas....{Trendy Twine DT}

Good Morning Everyone!

It is my DT day over on the Trendy Twine Blog!

A new month of spotlighted products from Trendy Twine has the DT showcasing the gorgeous Christmas Twine Colors.

Today I am sharing a Christmas treat inspired project using my featured twine color of the month~

Candy Cane Trendy Twine and a Candy Tin

These make the best quick and easy gifts..fill with some goodies and embellish and they are ready to give :) For my project I used some Hershey Chocolate Nuggets and wrapped them using the holiday paper from Recollections. I was able to get 10 pieces inside the tin nicely and they are all cushioned in some paper shredding.

For my outside embellishing, I use the matching paper from Recollections to make a belly band. This not only holds the tin in place but allows a place for my sentiment. I wrapped some Candy Cane Trendy Twine around the belly band 2 times and tied it off to the side with a bow. For some extra holiday cheer, I did add some fun silver jingle bells.

My sentiment and die cuts come from My Creative Time~ Belly Band Sentiment Set and Stitched Belly Band Dies

Here is what I used from Annie's Paper Boutique:

MCT 47th New Release Sneak Day 4

Good Morning and welcome to the final day of sneaks for the
47th New Release from My Creative Time!

I hope you have been enjoying all the amazing DT projects and will stop back tomorrow for the BIG reveal and blog hop!!

For today's sneaks, the DT is showcasing the new set
Stitched Treat Sleeve Die along with this releases freebie Dec 25 Die

I couldn't help by make 2 different projects using the showcase sets plus SEVERAL new release stamps and dies! I will share each project up close...starting with the freebie...

For my first project, I used the new Stitched Treat Sleeve Die and some gorgeous sparkle polka dot vellum to make the bag. Next, using the Belly Band Dies, Freebie Dec25 die and some beautiful green ribbon I decorated the bag. Filled with some decorative paper shreds and a candy cane my CAS gift bag is ready to give on Christmas.

Freebie Die

Our "Freebie" for this release is this ADORABLE "Dec25" die. It will be given to the FIRST 150 shoppers! If you are one of the 1st 150 shoppers it will be automatically added to your package at the time of packaging/shipping. Once 150 shoppers come through, the die will be available for purchase. So, if it’s for sale in the store, you are not one of the 150. No exceptions will be made. This freebie die is not a part of the “bundle” and will be sold separately!

Now since Halloween is closer than Christmas, I wanted to make another treat bag just for that.

I used some designer paper for the treat sleeve and then made the tag the focal point of my project. To make my pumpkin, I used an older set~Seasonal Greetings for the pumpkin and stem and the Stitched Leaves Die for the leaf. Once the pumpkin was assembled, I added it to the new Holiday Tag. It is then perfect for my sentiment, from the Belly Band stamp set and that fun die cut pumpkin. To finish off this project, I added some hemp twine to the pumpkin and attached the tag to the front of the bag using a cutie clothes pin.

What a Treat Wednesday...{My Creative Time}

Good Morning and Happy Hump Day!!!

 It is 

What a Treat Wednesday  with MCT

where the DT makes any container, treat and/or packaging with My Creative Time stamps and dies!

So super fun considering I just LOVE to make holiday treats :)

I have a CUTE Christmas treat to share today. This is so super easy to make and would be a fun classroom party idea or even a great holiday gift to give to the kiddo's and their friends.

Check out my reindeer candy canes...... Aren't they the CUTEST?!?!?! 

Lets take a closer look at how I made these..... You need a few items that I am sure most crafters have in their stash

~Hemp twine (brown)

~google eyes and a red small pom pom

Plus of course you need some Candy Canes 

You start by wrapping the hemp twine around both candy canes so the hooks are facing outward. Wrap it tight but not so you crack the candy canes (I did that and then had to eat it..LOL)

Next using your hot glue gun, add the google eyes and red pom pom for the nose.

Using the sentiment from My Creative Time's Oh Deer stamp set~ I stamped it onto the die banner from Just Simply Live. I did stamp it closer to the edge so I could hole punch a tiny hole to add my Trendy Twine to attach it to the candy cane.

A simple bow to hold the tag in place and these treats are ready to bring a smile to someones face :)

My Creative Time Products Used:

Oh Deer

Just Simply Live

Other Products Used:

Trendy Twine~Totally Red

candy canes

Well that it all I have to share :) I hope you will give these treats a try! They sure would make a CUTE ornament too!!!!

Thanks for stopping by and have a GREAT Wednesday!

MCT "5 Days of Christmas"....{Day 4}

Good Morning everyone and welcome to 

Day 4 of My Creative Time's 

"5 Days of Christmas"

If you haven't had a chance to check out the past 3 days of projects..make sure you do! 

They are all AWESOME and you can find the direct link's to them below.

Day 1

Day 2

Day 3

 There are AMAZING projects and ton's of holiday inspiration..plus a SWEET prize everyday for one lucky crafter!

Adding onto my week long string of Christmas gifts and yummy treats, for today's inspiration I made some adorable Santa boxes. 

This is a file I picked up in the Silhouette store. Oh so adorable right?!?! Well to make it a bit more adorable and more festive I changed up a few parts to add some My Creative Time goodies. Can you pick them out??

To make these, I used the file for the box, sizing it down to 6 inches. These are perfect to hold a few hershey kisses or some chocolate nuggets. Then using the belt and buckle from the file, I cut them out using silver and black cardstock. For Santa's ruffles...ho ho ho..LOL I used the Fun Stitched Edges Die. I had to place some buttons on it then, so I stamped 3 small dots using the Boughs of Holly stamp set. Once the whole project was put together, I added my tag using one of the stamps from the A Day in December set. If you don't own that one yet...you have to add it to your list. It is PERFECT for all your Christmas projects!

Once I stamped the sentiment onto some white cardstock, I fussy cut it, placed a hole into the corner and threaded some Cranberry Trendy Twine to hold it onto the box. A simple bow and my treat boxes were complete.

For my project today, I made one of my favorite holiday gifts~ chocolate nuggets and added a fun and very easy to replicate tag to the top.  I used the Candy Bags from Trendy Twine and wrapped 6 chocolate nuggets using red and green cardstock. Once they were all wrapped, I placed them in the bag..putting those aside to make my tags.

For the tags, I used MCT~Just Tag Dies and cut them out using white and black cardstock. Next I stamped my sentiment onto the bottom right hand corner using the stamp set~ From our Family to Yours. Using the same color cardstock that I wrapped the chocolate with, I die cut the leaves and berries from the Boughs of Holly set (LOVE this set BTW!)

Alittle x-mas red stickles and some Candy Cane Trendy Twine and my nugget treats are completed!

So here is my chocolate filled tin.....

I used the Candy Tin and wrapped and filled it with 12 chocolate nuggets. Since I was using the beautiful Peppermint Icicle Trendy Twine (a twist of red, white & lt blue - Christmas Bakers Twine) I found designer paper that was a perfect match.  Once they were all wrapped and laid inside the tin, I added the belly band and then added my nice big tag!

For the tag, I used the dies from My Creative Time, Stitched XL Label Die and XL Label Die and the same designer paper that I used to wrap the candies in. I then wrapped the Peppermint Icicle Trendy Twine around the center of the top layer 3 times to make a nice thick wrap. Using some silver jingle bells from my stash, I tied them onto the twine and then tied the twine into a bow.
Finally to finish my project off, I stamped my sentiment using the Boughs of Holly stamp set from MCT onto the white section of the label die.

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

Peachy Keen Stamps November New Release.

What did you think of yesterday's projects?? Super CUTE right??
Well today we have more AWESOME new stamps to showcase and ADORABLE projects to share :)
I LOVE making holiday treats to hand out so for today's project I made some candy sticks using the sweet new Happy Snow Couple 1 1/8" faces.....

I just LOVE these happy faces!!! I stamped them onto one of the MCT stitched circle dies and then colored them in using my copics and my white gel pen.

Next for their hats, I used the MCT St. Patty's day hat which actually worked AWESOME for these guys! Since these are Christmas candy sticks, I used the holly leaves and a berry for their hats and then tied the tags onto the candy sticks using some Candy Cane Trendy Twine.

BTW~ I did fill them with the new Mint M & M's...YUMMY!!!!

These were so fun to make and I can not wait to hand some of these cuties out to my friend's little ones. They would make GREAT school party favors too!!!

What a Treat Wednesday w/ MCT {Tic Tac Containers}

Good Morning and Happy Hump Day!!!

 It is 

What a Treat Wednesday  with MCT

where the DT makes any container, treat and/or packaging with My Creative Time stamps and dies!

So super fun considering I just LOVE to make holiday treats :)

For my project today, I made some Tic Tac stocking stuffers. My kiddos LOVE these and I always get a few packs to put in their stockings....so why not dress them up a bit for some added fun~ right?? Plus these make AWESOME teacher's gifts too for the holidays. 

I ended up picking up some Cherry/Apple ones and some Candy Cane flavored ones for less that $1.50 a pack at Walmart the other day and before I even decorated the covers for them, my kids were calling claim to them...LOL!

Here they are up close....

 Decorating these do not have to take alot of time or be embellished a ton to make them fun and gift worthy. For this one I used candy cane striped paper and the adorable sentiment stamp from the A Day in December stamp set. I stamped it onto the Square Stitched Die using black ink and them die cut the teeny heart from the 4x4 Journal Die & More set. Tied closed with a pretty white sheer ribbon and this one was complete.

For the next one, I did them same thing just embellished it using the pine tree from the new Seasonal Greetings set.

I matched the green tree to the pattern paper, popped the tree up using some foam pop dots and added my sentiment, also popped up. The tag is from the Chunky Jar Accessories and fits the Teeny Tag Holidays sentiment perfectly!

Merry Christmas Pillow Boxes.....{TKJ #151}

Good Morning and Happy Monday Everyone!

It is time for a new challenge over at

 The Kraft Journal!

This week the challenge is:

Something New

This is what I came up with.... Hope you like it!

I started out my project with the plain Small Kraft Pillow Boxes, and decorated them with snowflakes from PKS using white ink. That was my "something new"~ adding stamping to my otherwise plain box. You can really dress up these packages to fit any holiday or theme, with the possibilities unless! You could also emboss these boxes which would give them another totally different look. I will save that idea for another time :)

Once my boxes were dry, I filled them with some chocolate (these are gifts for my boys bus driver's) and went about with my embellishments.

Using some White Twill Tape, I wrapped them around the boxes and tied them in a bow. Before I did that though, I made the tags that are attached to each of the packages. I started out with the White X~Small Tags and stamped my sentiment from MCT~ Tiny Tag Holidays stamp set. I also added a die cut Christmas Tree, also from MCT but the All Around Holidays Stamp set. Since these would be handled by my kiddo's, I added an eyelet on each of the tags, just for some extra strength.

So there you have it....

my inspiration for this week's challenge.

I hope you have enjoyed my card and will play along with us!

As always I have linked all the supplies I used from The Kraft Outlet throughout my description.  If you have not checked out the store yet....make sure you do! There is so much available, the prices are so reasonable and shipping is super fast!!!

Thanks for stopping by and have a GREAT Monday!!

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!

Remember this challenge will run for 3 weeks so lots of time to get your

Holiday Gifts w/Ribbon 

projects in!!

Thanks so very much for stopping by!!

Have a GREAT Friday!!
