Creeping By To Say Hi!...{MCT Thrifty Thursday}

Good morning everyone and welcome to another

My Creative Time's ~Thrifty Thursday.

A day set aside to share any type of project using our scraps/leftovers or recycling items as well as using My Creative Time stamps and dies!

For my project today, I used a scrap of designer paper that I die cut a circle into for another project and ended up scratching that idea and that awesome spider web and spider I had left over from my last Halloween card I made. My process of making cards always changes, so I end up cutting out several pieces, playing around with my design and then placing whatever cuts I don't use into a container for another time. I then can take this opportunity~ Thrifty Thursday~ to use some of those cuts.

Here is the card I made. A fun shaker card and I really love the way it turned out! Super cute and so not spooky cause let me tell you...I HATE spiders...LOL!

Like I said up top, I had this gray and white polka dot paper from Lawn Fawn that I had cut to size and die cut with a circle from the Bunch of Fun Circle Dies and then ended up not using it. I knew it was going to be a shaker card~I had already put the acetate on the back, but placed it aside for another project. Tada...that is today :)
Before filling my card with sequins, I stamped my sentiment using the Trick or Treat stamp set and then filled it with purple and orange sequins. Big circle...LOTS of colorful sequins!

Then I used a extra spider web and spider I had cut out from the Wicked Fun Dies set and glued it to the front of my card. I added glossy accents to the spider to make him look more dimensional and then attached him to the web hanging from a sequin.

Some random additional sequins and my card was complete.

What do you think of my card?? I love using up scraps that would otherwise pile up and get forgotten about! And shaker cards are so fun to make! If you have not tried one yet you really should!

Good morning everyone and welcome to another

My Creative Time's Thrifty Thursday.

A day set aside to share any type of project using our scraps/leftovers or recycling items as well as using My Creative Time stamps and dies!

For my project today, I used scraps of designer paper, and a few diecuts I had left over from my last Halloween card I made. I love the MME~Mischievous paper pad and for the 34th New Release sneak I made this card (HERE). My process of making cards always changes, so I end up cutting out several pieces, playing around with my design and then placing whatever cuts I don't use into a container for another time. I then can take this opportunity~ Thrifty Thursday~ to use some of those cuts.

Here is the card I made. I really love the way it turned out! Super cute and so not spooky...LOL!

Shaker cards are so easy to make and add an extra element of fun to cards. Inside mine I added some orange, black and white sequins and then some blue seed beads that I had in my stash. 

Here is another angle of my card. I used the Bunch of Fun Circle Dies for the shaker part and then added that adorable Ghost die. I did stamp him with the new PKS face from the Trio of Girl Ghosts stamp set. For the sentiment, I used the letters from the Lowercase Fun Dies set and then just glued them to the front of my card. Some orange hemp twine, random sequins and some machine stitching and my card was finished.

Thrifty Thursday.....w/MCT

Good morning everyone and welcome to another

My Creative Time's Thrifty Thursday.

A day set aside to share any type of project using our scraps/leftovers or recycling items as well as using My Creative Time stamps and dies!

I recently got back from camping with my son and his 5th grade class...well before I left I had a HUGE pile of scrap papers and die cuts from projects that I had completed that needed to be put away. Of course time got the best of me and I hadn't had time to organize it all until this week. I knew that there was something in that pile that would be perfect for my project but little did I know that EVERYTHING on my project would be made using that pile.

So anyways..here is what I came up with. Hope you like it!

I found this Cute Sailor Gable Box file in the Silhouette Store and added my own touches of MCT goodies to make this project. For starters, I hid the face that came with the file and added a sweet PKS face instead. Then for the actual box itself, I cut it out using grey cardstock and then stamped the background using the new Striped Background stamp in Iced Spruce Distress Ink. 

The file came with a bottom strip that I changed out with the Make a Splash die! Don't you just love those pin point cuts in place of Emma's signature stitched lines? Finally I replaced the anchor from the original file and added my own using the small anchor die from  the Anchors & Heart Die set.

Once all the pieces were assembled and added to my gable box, I added my sentiment. Using a Stitched Oval Die piece that I had left over from another project, I stamped my sentiment using the new Hey Sailor stamp set. I attached the sentiment onto my gable box using a piece of In the Navy Trendy Twine.

I have to say I am pretty impressed with how this cutie turned out :)

Thrifty Thursday w/MCT and a Winner!

Good morning everyone and welcome to 

My Creative Time's Thrifty Thursday.

A day set aside to share any type of project using our scraps/leftovers or recycling items using My Creative Time stamps and dies!

With the upcoming Memorial Day weekend, I thought for my project today I would use up some of my Red, White and Blue card~stock scraps to a make a card in honor of  all those brave men and women who fight every day to keep us safe. 
I hope you like it.....

For my card I started with a navy blue card~stock base and following the sketch for the current CASE(E) this Sketch (pic down below) went about cutting my layers. I recently picked up this beautiful star vellum paper and couldn't wait to give it a try. After cutting my white and red card~stock down to size, I added a piece of the star vellum as an overlay and stitched it to the white and red card~stock layer.
Placing those layers aside, I stamped my sentiment from the Happy Homecoming stamp set and then heat embossed it using some white embossing powder from Creative Inspirations Paint.
I then attached my card~stock mat to the front of my card. Finally I die cut some Stitched Stars in the matching papers, attached them to my card front using some foam pop dots and added a few randomly placed sequins.

So what do you think?????

Making projects with all those scraps has never been easier...LOL! Especially with the adorable MCT dies and stamps!

Supplies Used:

Paper~ Navy, White, Red scraps

Vellum~Boys Rule (unknown manufacture)

Stamps~ My Creative Time~Happy Homecoming

Dies~ My Creative Time~3 Star Stitched Dies

Embellishments~ Sequins, Sewing Machine

white embossing powder

Thrifty Thursday Easter Treats....{MCT}

Good morning everyone and welcome to 

My Creative Time's Thrifty Thursday.

A day set aside to share any type of project using our scraps/leftovers or recycling items using My Creative Time stamps and dies!

On Monday for my Scrapping The Little Things post, seen HERE, I made an Easter PL page using several MCT stamps and dies as well as the Simple Stories Sn@P paper pad. I had several scraps left over from the paper and used them along with some extra die cuts to make some more Easter treats. 

These are by far probably my favorite treats to make and they are PERFECT for using up those scraps. Each of the candies are wrapped using a 1 x 3" piece of designer paper and I placed them on a piece of card stock measuring 2 1/2 x 5" (scored on each side at 1/2")

I added these adorable tags to the top, making them Easter themed of course but they can be made to fit any occasion for sure! 

MCT Supplies Used:

Hello Chickie!

All Around Holidays

To My Best Peep

Stitched Round Tab, Arrow & Tag Dies

Stitched Grass Die

Additional Supplies:

Simple Stories SN@P! Basics paper pad
