My Creative Time 41st New Release!

Miss Emma has another AMAZING new release and the DT can not wait to share all of our projects with you! We all know you are going to LOVE everything in this release.

So sit back and get ready for a GREAT week of inspiration followed by our blog hop on Friday when we will show you all the entire new release and it will be available for purchase!

Today the DT will be showcasing projects using the new set~

Circle Stitched Pattern Die

Since St. Patty's day is tomorrow I thought I would make a CAS card for today's project. I used the new Circle Stitching Pattern Dies as a border and then die cut the adorable shamrock to pop up as my "pop of color" Before adhering it to my card front, I did stamp my sentiment and then pulled out some gold thread to add behind the shamrock. Then I popped it up onto the card front using some fun foam. I thought it still needed something more so I randomly placed some matching green and gold sequins on. The whole card front was then popped up onto the kraft card base using more fun foam.

MCT Made In Minutes.....Shamrock Kisses

Good Morning everyone!!!

It is time for another

My Creative Time's~ Made In Minutes!

 The MCT DT will be sharing quick and easy projects using MCT stamps and dies that you can recreate in no time!

For my project today, I wanted to use the AWESOME new Milk Carton Die and make a fun St. Patty's day treat. Hope you like it!

This Milk Carton Die is a MUST have!! I am so super excited Emma has released this and let me tell you it makes putting together treats super easy. I made this Milk Carton in under 15 minutes~from start to finish! So to make it, I used a piece of designer paper from Authentique and die cut the Milk Carton. Then using the Shamrock die from the You're My Pot of Gold set I die cut it into the center of the Milk Carton. Next I  added a piece of acetate to the inside of the milk carton so my "Shamrock Kisses" didnt fall out :)

Once the Milk Carton was all put together, I punched 2 holes in the top to thread my white twine through. For the tag, I used the matching designer paper and die cut the Mini Chalkboard Tag. I stamped my sentiment using the I Believe in Leprechauns set and thought the tag needed something else. I used the special Die of the Month set for those adorable hearts! Die cutting 2 of the Stitched Heart Layering Dies in white cardstock, I went ahead and colored them using my copic markers. For some added sparkle and shine, I then colored over the hearts with my Wink of Stella clear pen. Added the tag to the twine and tied it all in a bow and my project was complete!

Happy St. Patty's Day....Made in Minutes {My Creative Time}

Happy St. Patrick's Day 

and 

welcome to another

My Creative Time's~ Made In Minutes!

If you are new to this segment, it is where the MCT DT  shares quick and easy projects using MCT stamps and dies that you can recreate in no time. 

Since it is St. Patrick's Day I have a CAS card to share that took maybe a total of 5 minutes to put together :)

I love using MCT dies with wool felt! The dies cut through the felt so beautifully and the felt adds so much texture and dimension to a card~ don't you think?

So for my card I used the Shamrock Die from the set~ You're my Pot of Gold with some beautiful green felt. I wanted it to be the focal point of my card.

I hot glued the shamrock to my card and then stamped the sentiment using one of the new releases~ I'm a Lucky Girl.

To add some additional embellishments to my card, I used some green sequins that I had in my stash.

The entire card was placed on a Kraft card stock base with a mat of green card stock and another mat of white card stock.

Make sure to check out the other DT member's projects over on Emma's blog~

Red Hatter's Blog Hop & A St. Patty's Day Card

Morning! If you are looking for the Red Hatter's Blog Hop click here or scroll down to yesterday's post. You should see the amazing projects everyone has made.

For today's card I made a simple St. Patty's Day card. I found a tutorial on how to make these paper pinwheels and had to try it out. The link to the tutorial is here. Talk about an easy project!!

I am off to the movies with 3 kiddo's today. Going to see Rango. Hope it's good. I took these same kiddo's to see Yogi Bear and let me tell you....It was horrible!!! Of course the kids liked it but the adults felt the same... they were all walking out of the theatre saying what a waste of money it was..I read the reviews also and they weren't good but that's what the kids wanted to see. Now Rango is supposed to be better. I'll let you know later :)

Have a GREAT day and don't forget to Spring Forward tonight..
Until tomorrow......

Lucky Me! and Lucky U!

Yesterday I was having a crafty slump. Nothing was working for me, so I put everything away for the day. I'm back hoping to have a better day. One of the first things I see today on my blogging list was that I won some stamps over at Dana's blog
Imagine What You Could Do. She was having a 50 follower giveaway. Make sure you go check out her blog. She does such great work! So thank Dana!!
Back to crafting..I made this St. Patty's Day card for that someone special...my husband! I'm going to get mushy but he is such a wonderful and supportive husband. What more can I ask for...I get to stay at home and craft all day while he works SO HARD! So thanks so much for all you do for me and the kids :)
