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

Enamel Dots

Totally White Trendy Twine

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

Scrapping The Little Things......{MCT}

Good Morning everyone!!
Welcome to "Scrapping the Little Things" with My Creative Time
where we share Project Life, Smash book or Scrapbook LO's using MCT stamps and dies!

Today I have some Project Life cards to share that I made for Easter.

Since I am not a scrapbooker, I have taken a huge liking to these PL pages and find it not only a GREAT way to scrapbook easily, but I can plan ahead (like I did with these card) and all I have to do is some quick journaling and add some pictures.

Here are the cards I made, hope you like them!

I LOVE this Sn@P Paper from Simple Stories and used several of the colored papers for my cards. Mixed with all the My Creative Time dies made these cards very easy to put together. 

The Lowercase Fun Dies are my favorite to use for adding lettering to my projects! They are such a great size and leave plenty of room for some journaling and picture :)

I made a shaker in one of the pockets, adding a Stitched Journal Die as my background and filling it with some sequins and die cut eggs from Hello Chickie! Then using my sewing machine, I ran a stitch line to close up the pocket so nothing falls out. Don't you just love that cute bunny??? I just had to add an enamel dot for his tail....LOL!
The frame was adhered to the journal card on 3 sides so when I get my pic of the kids coloring their eggs I can easily slide it in!

MCT Products Used:

Stitched Journal Die

4x4 Journal Die + More

Stitched 4x6 Journal Dies

Stitched Bracket Dies

Hello Chickie! 

To My Best Peep

A Day in December

Lowercase Fun Dies

Other products used:

Simple Stories SN@P! Basics paper pad

Enamel Dots

sequins, sewing machine

What do you think????

Now all I have to do is add my Easter Pictures!

That is all I have for now....

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 Monday!!!

For my project I wanted to make a menu dry erase board for my kitchen. My kids ask me every day what's for dinner...so now I can direct them to this fun project!

So adorable right? This was really quite simple to put together once I had all the measurements and the design laid out in the silhouette designer studio. I had this picture frame in my back room just waiting to be altered, it will be easy to change the background paper if the colors in my kitchen ever change :)

I used the adorable PK~1384 Retro-bet Round letters for all the wording and colored each one in with my copic markers. Then for the shake and burger I used the new PKSC~28 April 2014 SOTM those also were colored with my copics 

Here is a closeup of the cute burger. Don't you just love his face??? I added some white pen dots to the bun and some light chalk to his cheeks and OMG I just think he is too cute!

And here is the cutie shake! She too was colored with my copics and it is really hard to tell but her top is also colored with my Wink of Stella pen for some added sparkle.
Finally after the days of the weeks were adhered down to the background paper and the burger and shake were popped up on top of the panels, I embellished a bit more by adding some enamel dots. 
The glass went on the paper, the frame was completed and now it is ready for my dry erase marker and the weekly menu!

So what do you think?? I hope you have enjoyed my project!!!  
Thanks so much for joining us today and we all 
hope you have enjoyed the hop!
Have a great weekend!!!!!!!!!

PKS April New Release Sneak Day 3

Well, are we havin’ fun yet?

Welcome back to Day #3 of Sneak Peeks! 

 You've seen some amazing stamps and inspirational samples so far, and we’re back tonight to bring you even more peachy goodness!

This evening, we want to show off our newest set of face stamps, along with one more background stamp for this release. 

 We are tickled pink to introduce you to 

Cartoon Bombshell Faces and Polka Dot Background stamps!!!!!!

For my card today I found this adorable jukebox from Designs on Cloud 9~ Fab Fifties and came up with this fun card!

I used the Checkerboard Background that was showcased yesterday for my card mat and the adorable new Cartoon Bombshell Faces for the jukebox. I added some white gel pen doodles to her face as well as some chalk to her cheeks. OMG is this not one CUTE face???
The sentiment is from an older PKS set~Spring Loaded that I thought was perfect for my card. I stamped it on a die cut banner from My Creative Time~Just Simply Live set and added some enamel dots to either side.
To finish my card off, I added some machine stitching to the border and more enamel dots to each of the corners.

Welcome to our first day of April Sneak Peeks at Peachy Keen Stamps!  

 

This month we've got a little bit of retro fun to share with you as we bring back the spirit of the 50′s with the adorable images Kathy has created!   This collection has so many wonderful images that will bring  memories of great times past,  so make plans to join us each evening this week as we take you on a stroll down memory lane.

This evening,  we begin the fun with the new Stamp of the Month stamp set PKSC-28 April 2014.   Pink flamingos, neon signs for the diner window, and fabulous faces and phrases to go with them!  There is more fun than you can imagine with this set! Be sure to stop by the Peachy Keen Stamps Blog to see all of the wonderful projects our talented team has created to share!

For my first project I wanted to use the super ADORABLE new flamingo's and I made a fun Shaker Card..... Hope you like it!!!

I designed my card using the Silhouette Designer Studio so I knew exactly how my card would turn out....it also helps with lining up all the layers :)

I paper pieced those adorable flamingo's using designer paper from MME~Blush paper pack. I did add some copic coloring to their legs and some white gel pen to their eyes.

Once they were done, I went about putting my shaker card together. The sequins are from Paper Issues~the pink ombre set and are so pretty!!! 

Those super cute sentiments???? They are from the new April SOTMK as well!!! They were stamped onto the banner dies from My Creative Time.

Such a fun card with those adorable flamingo's~ don't you think???

It's The Plane Truth.....{Seize The Sketch #17} {Post #2}

Good Morning Everyone!

~if you are looking for my Peachy Keen Stamps Sketch challenge card please click HERE~

It is time for another Seize The Sketch Challenge.

Here is the new challenge sketch.....

Hosted this week by the very talented Jen

And here is the card I made based on the sketch!

I really like the CAS design of this card...and even better that it went together in a matter of minutes. It took me the longest to add my machine stitching to the papers...LOL!

Anyways, for my card I used designer papers from My Mind's Eye~Come Away with Me paper pack~ a newbie I picked up at Michael's not to long ago.

For the stitched square piece, I used the die from My Creative Time~4x4 Journal Dies + More and stamped the flight heart and sentiment using the Plane & Simple and Fun Paper Airplane Die. I die cut 2 paper airplanes and stacked one on top of another to give the piece some more dimension. 

I finished my card off with a simple sewing machine stitched border and a stitched line through the pattern paper, just to add some more to the center of my card.

So what do you think???

I hope you like my card and will play along with the new challenge!

Make sure to head on over to the Seize The Sketch blog to see what the other DT members created with this sketch and for all the details on how you can play along.

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