Happy Birthday To You...{MCT Manly Monday}

Good morning everyone!

Welcome to another Manly Monday with My Creative Time!

So I messed up for todays post :(

I had my weeks screwed up and made a Birthday Palooza tag that isn't really manly but I am going to share it anyways.

Take a look and let me know what you think....

I used the newly released More Chunky Tag Dies and layered 3 of the tags onto one another. The base is kraft cardstock, then a piece of white cardstock and the top layer is a polka dot patter paper from October Afternoon.
I used the Celebration Tags set for the sentiment frame and stamped the sentiment onto the tag using the same set.
The adorable cupcake die is from the Light The Candles set and was die cut using yellow and red polka dot paper also from the October Afternoon paper pack.
A kraft twine ribbon completed my tag.

So with some more masculine designer paper and maybe not adding the extra heart die cut to the cupcake, my project would have fit the theme for today...LOL!

Anyways I hope you liked my tag. As always thanks for stopping by and checking out my project!
Make sure to head over to the MCT blog for more inspiration!!

Have a GREAT Monday!!!

Miss Emma
you will not want to miss a thing..

And here is my inspiration using this adorable new stamp and die set...

My son graduates from High School this June and when I first saw this set and the congrats sentiment, I thought of all the pretty tags I could make for him and his friends.  Can you guess their school colors...LOL

To make my tag, I die cut both the top layer and bottom layer in the red and black cardstock, layered them up and then went about decorating the tag.

This new set has so many great sentiments that are perfect for a variety of celebrations. I added the "lines" stamp to the top layer of the tag, stamped the "grad" sentiment using the Grad Night set and popped up a matching grad hat.

The new banner and "congrats" sentiment were then added to the tag and I finished off this by added some of the cute heart die cuts, also from the new set.

Some trendy twine to the top of the tag makes this ready to give.

from

Today we have some SUPER sets to showcase!

Introducing...

Have a Super Day

&

Super Tag Dies

And here is my inspiration.....

I have 2 projects to share today using these new sets!

Both projects use both stamp and die sets and I got alittle inky making these.

I used the Super Tag Die super hero splotch and made a stencil which I then inked up onto both the card mat and tag mat.

I used Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Mustard Seed and Salty Ocean.

The tag, after I inked up the splotches, I added the stamped sentiment from the Have a Super Day set. I finished up the tag with some Totally Red Trendy Twine and this tag is ready for a gift.

The card  which I kept along the CAS line was designed onto a piece of white cardstock that I die cut using the Stitched Rectangular Frame Die.

Again I added the stencil and inked up the splotches using my distress ink.

I stamped the sentiment from the Have a Super Day set and then die cut the super hero lady using black cardstock. Of course since she is a Super Hero I added her red cape and assembled her onto the card from.

I finished off this card my adding some die cut stars, also from the new Have a Super Day set in the matching distress colors.

Good Morning everyone and welcome back to Day 3 of sneaks for the
76th New Release from My Creative Time!!

Introducing the new
Chunky Tag Dies
and here is the project I made using these dies

OMG can you say AWESOME to this new set! There are 6 dies in this set making 3 layered tags or 6 tags if you don't want to layer them. 
For my project I used the 2 largest dies to make a tag mini card.
The base of my card is the largest tag die that I cut using kraft cardstock. I added a layer of designer paper and die cut that using the stitched layer die. 
Since I wanted to make a birthday card/tag, I pulled out the Party Hat Dies, used the smaller of the 2 party hats and die cut it using matching designer paper from the Boy oh Boy paper pack from Carta Bella.
Finally, my sentiment was stamped on a slant using the Perfect Matcha set. 
Some trendy twine completed my card/tag!

Just a Note....{MCT Tag it Tuesday}

Good Morning everyone!!

It is time for another Tag It Tuesday with My Creative Time
and I am sharing a fun back to school tag using the newest release Die set~ Stitched Zig Zag Dies

Take a look.....

I found the cutest mini post it notes a while back and just recently re-found them while cleaning out my desk. The new Stitched Zig Zag die (medium size) fit perfectly onto the front so I turned it into a tag for my post its.

Using the Zig Zag Die, I taped off the outsides so my stamping of the paper would stay inside the stitched section.

I used the Get Schooled stamp set and added my paper background. I grabbed the Many Greetings stamp set and stamped the "just a note" sentiment.
That cutie heart is also part of the stitched zig zag die set and fit perfectly above my sentiment.

Moving onto one of my favorite dies~ that fun pencil from the Love to Learn set. I die cut all the pieces, assembled the pencil and then popped it up onto the front of my tag.

The finishing touches to my tag was to wrap some Totally Red Trendy Twine around the notepad and tie my tag onto it with a simple bow.

I hope you like my project!!!

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 Tuesday!!!

Trick or Treat w/Trendy Twine!

Good Morning Everyone!

I am up on the Trendy Twine Blog today 

Can you believe Halloween is in just 2 days ?? Are you ready for your trick or treaters??

What about those treats for class parties??

Today's project is perfect for that using my featured products of the month

Grape Licorice Trendy Twine and the Skinny Candy Bags

Now a days schools are pushing for less treats to be sent into class for parties (at least in our area) so I have a solution that is still LOTS of fun to give and receive. These school age kiddos LOVE to get fun holiday pencils and you can find them for every holiday and in just about every color! Well why not grab 2 and slide them onto the Skinny Candy Bags? They fit perfectly and dressed up with a cute holiday tag...you can have these ready to hand out in no time!

For my tag, I made a mini shaker on the bottom using the newly released Grape Licorice Batty sequins. Then using stamps and dies from My Creative Time for my tag, I attached it onto the Skinny Candy Bag by wrapping some of the beautiful and perfectly matching Grape Licorice Trendy Twine several time around the bag and tying it into a bow. Some random Grape Licorice Batty sequins completed my project and these are now ready to be given out.

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

MCT Tag it Tuesday.....Halloween Sour Cream Container

Good Morning and welcome to
Tag it Tuesday w/ My Creative Time!!

Halloween is fast approaching and for today's project I wanted to make something that could be mass produced easily for my son to hand out this year to his teachers.

It has been a long time since I have made these adorable sour cream containers and when I say these are easy and quick to make....well in no time you can have tons done!! Some cute designer paper like the one I used from Bella Blvd and some sweet treats to fill these up with....perfect!

To make these I started with a piece of designer paper cut at 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 and followed the directions HERE to put them together.

To make the tag, I started by die cutting the new Holiday Tags circle and matching layer tag. Then stamping my sentiment...using the Trick or Treat stamp set..the sentiment fits perfectly into the center! To spookify my treat...LOL..I added the fun die cut spider web and matching spider from the Wicked Fun Dies set. Putting this all together was quite simple. I took the bottom tag layer and added the spider web to come over the side of the tag. Next I popped up the sentiment circle and added some enamel dots in coordinating colors to match the designer paper. Finally I popped up my spider and colored him in with my Wink of Stella to give him some sparkle.

Tied all together onto the sour cream container with some Trendy Twine.

My Creative Time Products Used:
Holiday Tags Stamps & Dies
Wicked Fun Dies
Trick or Treat

Additional Products Used:
Totally Orange Trendy Twine
Bella Blvd~ Halloween Magic designer paper
Wink of Stella
Enamel dots

So what do you think????? Want to see more projects?

MCT 45th New Release Sneak Day 2

Morning everyone and welcome to Day 2 of sneaks for the

45th New Release from My Creative Time!

What did you think of yesterday's sneaks??? So fun right???

So for today the DT will be showcasing the new set~

My Thoughts are with You

Sympathy cards are so hard to make and Emma made another beautiful set of stamps and dies to mix and match with already great products available. For my card, I used one of the new sentiments for my monochromatic card.

I used some beautiful ombre ink and the Build a Scripty & Watercolor Background for the card mat. Next I stamped the new sentiment onto the bottom on my card. I die cut the mat using the largest Stitched Rectangular Frame Die and matted it to a piece of navy cardstock.

To finish my card off, I die cut 2 different sized butterflies and popped them up onto the front of my card.
I didn't add any additional embellishments, keeping the focus on the sentiment and the beautiful butterflies.

I did make another project using the adorable Mason Jar die that also comes in this set.

I turned these cuties into mini tags which would look perfect on homemade canning jars. I do not can anything (wish I did AND could find the time to do so as well) I die cut for each tag 2 times...once for the top layer which I did my stamping on and once for the bottom layer which opens like a card to write a message inside. 

I added some thin hemp twine to each of the jars and then made some small holes in the corner to add some more hemp twine to hang the tags with.

My Creative Time Products Used:
My Thoughts are With You (New Release)
Stitched Rectangular Frame Dies & More
Pretty Butterflies & Dragonfly Dies
Build a Scripty & Watercolor Background
