Gobble Gobble......{MCT Throwback Thursday}

Good Morning friends!
Today I am sharing a project for My Creative Time's
Throwback Thursday. This is where we use an older stamp/die set to make a project :)
Since Thanksgiving is right around the corner, I thought I would make a cute turkey tag using the older set Gobble Gobble
Take a look at my tag and let me know what you think...

Isn't that turkey so adorable?? I love him colored in with my copics!
To make my project, I started with the Super Tag Dies and actually made my tag so a message can be added inside as well.
I layered the tag with some brown scrap polka dot paper and then popped my colored turkey onto the front.
For the sentiment, I used the Ribbon End Banners, trimming the banner down so it fit onto my tag and stamped the sentiment onto the banner. The sentiment was added right under the turkey filling up the tag nicely.
To finish off my tag, I added some Kraft Trendy Twine and this project is ready to be given to that special "turkey" LOL!
Actually it would look adorable tied around a napkin as a place setting for Thanksgiving Dinner!

 I appreciate you taking the time to stop by today! Make sure to check out the rest of the inspiration over on the MCT blog!
Have a GREAT Thursday everyone!!!

Happy Pumpkin Spice Season....{MCT Weird Holiday}

Good Morning everyone and welcome to another
Weird Holiday post for My Creative Time.

For my holiday I chose International Coffee Day which was actually celebrated yesterday October 1st.

The unofficial holiday celebrates one of the most popular beverages in the world - coffee. 

Take a look at my card celebrating this holiday...

Fall is my favorite time of the year and with the cooler weather comes PUMPKINS! I just LOVE pumpkin spice coffee so my card was focused around that yummy beverage!
To make my card, I pulled out my copic markers and made a pumpkin background coloring all the pumpkins in a two tone orange color.
I layered the Scalloped Stitched Circles in white and kraft cardstock for my focal point and added my sentiment and that adorable mini coffee cup.
To embellish my card, I used the newly released leaves from the pumpkin lollipop and cute pumpkin tag sets and added them around the scalloped stitched circles
Some Nuvo enamel dots completed my card.

My Creative Time Supplies Used:
Stitched Rectangular Frame Die
Just Brew It
Scalloped Stitched Circles
Gobble Gobble
Cute Pumpkin Tag Die
Pumpkin Lollipop Holder Die

So there is my inspiration....What did you think of my card?? I hope you enjoyed it!
As always thanks so much for stopping by my blog!
Make sure to head over the MCT blog for more Weird Holiday inspiration projects!
Have a GREAT Tuesday!!!

Happy Pumpkin Spice Season.....{MCT Trending Now}

Good Morning everyone and welcome to another

"Trending Now" with My Creative Time!!

Today's trending now is "Fall Harvest"

The DT was asked to make anything that has to do with fall.

Well fall I think is my favorite time of the year~ know why??

PUMPKIN season!!!!

My inspiration comes from all things pumpkin, especially Pumpkin Coffee!!

Take a look at my card and let me know what you think......

I made my card using several stamp/die sets.
I started with my favorite, the Stitched Rectangular Frame Die for the top layer of my card and layered it on a piece of white cardstock and a kraft A2 size card base.
Next I stamped my sentiment using the Gobble Gobble set.
The focal point of my card is that adorable coffee cup from the set~ We're Better Together. I did add the die cut pumpkin to the cup from the Mini Lolly Add-Ons. The little leaf I also added to the pumpkin is from the new set~ Build a Fall Wreath.
To finish up my card, I added a gold thread nest behind the cup and some matching green and orange sequins.
A sweet fall card for a pumpkin spice fan!!

Well that is all I have for today~

Make sure you head on over to My Creative Time to see what the rest of the DT made!

I know the inspiration is AWESOME!!!!

Thanks so much for stopping by and have a GREAT Thursday!!!

Fun with Stencils.....{MCT Tutorial Thursday}

Good Morning everyone and welcome to another

My Creative Time Tutorial Thursday!!!

I shared a card  here on Monday for MCT's Manly Monday post showing a fun technique using handmade stencils with MCT dies.

I promised to share a tutorial on how I made that card but instead of reproducing that card, I used the same technique and made 2 different mini cards....

Take a look at my finished projects...

And here is how I made the black and white spider web mini!

I gathered my supplies~ 

Just a Note die

Stitched Squares inside & out

Too Cute to Spook 

Wicked Fun Dies 

and Black Soot Distress Ink

I die cut the spider web out onto a piece of acetate. Loving the details that this die has it makes for a perfect stencil!

Using my ink blending tool and holding onto the stencil, I dabbed and blended and rubbed the tool over the stencil, starting from the center and working out until I got the right look I was going for.  As I blended out I let the ink lighten which gives it the look of a spray painted piece

Once the stencil was pulled off giving the desired look, I re-positioned it onto the other corner and inked it up the exact same way.

To finish my mini card, I stamped my sentiment, added that cutie spider and attached the whole white panel to the front of my Just a Note die cut.

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

I did the same technique for my pumpkin card, just changing up the die stencil to use the pumpkin and leaf from the Gobble Gobble set

 Adding  Carved Pumpkin and Mowed Lawn Distress ink

and a bit of  Gathered Twigs Distress ink as well!

When I went to add color for the leaf, I used the actual pumpkin die, the inside of my stencil to cover up the pumpkin so I could contain where the Mowed Lawn Distress Ink went. I wanted to add the color only to the leaf part~not the stem and I didnt want it to over lap the pumpkin

I add the panel to the Just a Note die, stamped my sentiment, and my mini was complete!!

The best part of making these stencils~ you can use them over and over again!!!!

Well I hope you have enjoyed my tutorial and will give this technique a try!

 Want to see more projects?

I know the inspiration is AWESOME!!!!

MCT 58th New Release Sneak Day 2

Good Morning and welcome to Day 2 of sneaks for the  

58th New Release 

from My Creative Time!

What did you think of yesterday's sneaks? Pretty awesome right?!?!?

Today the DT will be showcasing the new set~

Gobble Gobble

and here is the card I made using it......

I love pumpkin spice season and paired this new sentiment from Gobble Gobble with the adorable coffee cup die from the Coffee Break set. 

I also used the background sentiment from the Gobble Gobble set on my stitched squares. I heat embossed the sentiment and lightly inked them up so the embossing came through for some extra texture. 

I then die cut the embossed background out using the Stitched Squares. Once the coffee cup was cut, paper pieced and assembled, it was popped up onto the front of my squares. 

The sentiment was stamped and I felt it still needed something more so I used the leaf stamp/die, again from the Gobble Gobble set and popped those up onto my coffee cup.

Finally to finish off my card I used some brown enamel pearls.
