MCT 49th New Release Sneak Day 2

Good Morning and welcome to Day 2 of sneaks for the 

49th New Release from My Creative Time!

What did you all think of yesterday's projects?? Pretty AMAZING right!!!

Today the DT is showcasing another super FUN set that I know you will all LOVE

Be Your Best Selfie

I couldn't help but use the cutie hashtag die and make a fun holiday gift. While I was out shopping the other day I ran into Bath & Body Works and saw the new holiday pocket hand sanitizers. One caught my eye....the cute #sELFie which I knew right away I had to have to match this new sentiment set. So I packaged it up in a clear pillow box (which by the way is the PERFECT size to hold these) and tied it all up with some Candy Cane Trendy Twine. Next I made a little tag to attach to my package. I used the Mini Chalkboard Tags and added the small pic die from the Picture Perfect set. For the mini ELF hat I took the santa hat die from the Classy Girl Accessories and die cut the pieces in green and red cardstock. Then to finish the tag up I used the hashtag die and die cut 3 different color cardstock pieces. I wanted the ELF part of the die to be a different color and really pop up on the tag.

MCT 49th New Release Sneak Day 1

Good Morning and welcome to Day 1 of sneaks for the 

49th New Release from My Creative Time!

This is such an awesome release and we can not wait to share all of our projects all week with you! Then I hope you will join us on Friday for the BIG reveal and Blog Hop!!! 

Today we are showcasing the FREEBIE for this release~

 Hi Sweetie 

as well as a new background stamps

Stripey Background!

I really LOVE doing CAS cards so for this one I used the new background stamp in a different way then I have before. I took the tag from the Holiday Tags set and used it to make a template so I could stamp only the shape of the tag using the background stamp. Then I used the FREEBIE stamp for the sentiment as well as the candy. I cut the candy  out using the matching die that also comes with the set Hi Sweetie. The candy was then popped up onto the front of my card, I added some random enamel dots and tied a big Trendy Twine Candy Candy bow.

Thoughtful Thursday w/My Creative Time

Good Morning everyone!
Today is Thoughtful Thursday over on the My Creative Time blog 
a newer segment where the DT makes a  card or project centered around the... thinking of you, thank you, sympathy, etc theme :)

For my card I was inspired by Day 1 of the new Online Card Class~ Holiday Cards and Laurie Willison's gorgeous CAS card. 
I started my card by using a piece of white cardstock  and taping off a diagonal section towards the top of the card. Then using some Cotton Candy ink, I tried to ink in a dark to light manner...starting at the top and working towards the taped off section.
Once the inking was to my liking, I pulled off the tape and made some random score marks...just for some extra detail.
Using the Friendships are Forever stamp/die set, I stamped my sentiment and then placed the die cut "friend" using the score lines as my guide.
Some matching enamel dots finish my card off for a very quick and CAS friendship card.

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

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 day!!

Manly Monday w/My Creative Time

Good Morning everyone and welcome to 

My Creative Time's Manly Monday!

Many people find making manly cards hard...including myself!! As I was going through my "Stash" of MCT stamps and dies, I came across the What's Growing On? set that I had yet to play with. How perfect for MOVEMBER too...LOL! So for my card I went on the CAS side to make an easily reproducible manly card. I started with my all time favorite die~ Stitched Rectangular Frame Die & More for my card mat. Next I stamped the sentiment from the What's Growing On? set as well as die cut one of the stashes from that set also. I popped the stash up with some foam dots and then to finish off the front of my card I wrapped some Black Licorice Trendy Twine around the top for a simple bow.

Because of that fun sentiment on the front...I had to complete my card by stamping a cute response to it inside. Again using the same set~ What's Growing On?  I stamped my sentiment inside on another Stitched Rectangular Frame Die cut.

So what do you think????? A fun manly card using an AWESOME stamp/die set from MCT!

If you don't already own this one you MUST put it on your wishlist!!!

Autumn Wishes.....Trendy Twine

Good Morning Everyone!

It is my DT day over on the Trendy Twine Blog!!!

A new month of spotlighted products from Trendy Twine has the DT showcasing the gorgeous new Fall Twine Colors. 

Today I am sharing a Fall inspired project using my featured twine color of the month~

Totally Chocolate along with the adorable 2x2 Kraft Boxes

To make my project, I used a 2x2 Kraft Box and instead of closing it up, I left the opening flap up and covered it with some beautiful fall pattern paper from Lawn Fawn~Sweater Weather. Next I wrapped some Totally Chocolate Trendy Twine around the box and added an adorable stamped image from My Creative Time colored with my copics. A fun banner sentiment onto the top and this box is ready to be filled with just about anything!

Of course I had to fill it with some Fall colored M&M's using the Candy Sack from Trendy Twine! Those bags hold a ton of treats!!! To close it up, I punched 2 holes onto the folded over top and then threaded some more Totally Chocolate Trendy Twine through to make a bow.

Here is what the candy bag looks like inside my project. A PERFECT fit!! And now ready to give :)

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

Totally Chocolate Trendy Twine

2x2 Kraft Boxes

For my card I made a shaker based on the sentiment from the Tweet Me stamp set. I started off my card using the Stitched Rectangular Frame Die and designer paper from Echo Park~This & That. Next using one of the Bunch of Circle Dies, I made my window in which I filled it with the adorable envelopes and hearts die from the Fun Tweet Me Dies set. Finally I used the newly released "friend" die from the Friendships are Forever set and die cut it using designer paper and foam to then pop it up onto the front of my card. I then added another envelope die and another heart die for some extra simple embellishing.
