My Creative Time Sneak Peek Day 4

Good Morning 

and 

Welcome to Day 4 of sneaks for the new
My Creative Time 29th Release!

I hope you have been enjoying all the sneaks this week from the entire DT! Everyone did such an amazing job don't you think????
Well today is the last day of sneaks before the whole reveal tomorrow with our Blog hop!
And

today the DT is sharing projects using the sets~ 

"Stitched Surprise Pop Out Card"

"Stitched Gift Card Pocket Die"

OMG how much fun is this set!! A total MUST have for sure 
(well the whole release is...LOL)
Here is the card I made with these new dies...totally LOVE how this turned out!

Since I have all boys in my house, everything I make tends to be very girly and when I do need a masculine birthday card, I never have any..... until now!! There is just so much you can do with these dies and embellishing it was so fun!

For my card base I used Kraft cardstock and then cut the card again using designer papers from Echo Park~Giddy Up paper pad. I did alot of paper layering with the matching designer papers and just look at Emma's signature stitching.....SO FUN!!!

So when you open the card~ Surprise! There is a a spot for the matching gift card holder. The new Stitched Gift Card Pocket Die.

Here you can see all the GREAT stitching this new Surprise Pop-Out Card Die has.....around the card itself as well as the center piece which holds my birthday sentiment from the Vintage Sentiments stamp set. Don't you just LOVE those stars too???? I used the 3 Star Stitched Dies for those and placed them on my card using pop dots. Lots of fun dimension with this card!

Finally the last sentiment on my card is using the die from the Just Simply Live stamp set and the sentiment from the Gift Card Sentiments stamp set

'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!!
