You are not going to want to miss a thing! 

For my projects today, I get to showcase the new set~

I Love You Pop-Up Die & the Love Die (Freebie)
I have 2 cards to share...hope you like them!

My first card uses the new Love Die~ the freebie for this release! It is such a great sized die and I know you all will "LOVE" using this one! 

To make my card I started with a kraft cardstock base, added a layer of white cardstock and then using the largest of the Stitched Rectangular Frame Die, I added a layer of designer paper.

Next using the new Carved Heart stamp and matching die, I added my sentiment from the Puffy Hearts Just for You set. Since I wanted to use the new Love Die, I only stamped the the sentiment words I wanted and replaced the love part with the new die!

To finish off my card, I added some Totally Black Trendy Twine and popped the whole heart focal point up using some foam adhesive.

MCT Products Used:
Love Die (Freebie for first 150 shoppers)
Carved Heart (New Release)
Puffy Hearts Just for You
Stitched Rectangular Frame Dies & More

My next card uses the super fun new Pop-Up Die!

For this card, I started with a kraft cardstock base, added a layer of white cardstock and then using the largest of the Stitched Rectangular Frame Die, I added a layer of designer paper. I LOVE the new Stitched Postage Frame Dies and used one of the medium sized ones to stamp both my sentiment and the image. The sentiment is from an older MCT set~ My Favorite Sayings and the peeps are from the We are Family set. I popped the whole focal piece up using some foam adhesive and added a few random hearts from the new Carved Heart set.

Inside the card is the awesome new I Love You Pop-Up Die! 

I die cut it onto some white cardstock and using the same designer paper from the front of my card, I die cut the pop up die again so I could add the pattern paper heart. More die cut hearts from the new Carved Heart set complete my card!

MCT 50th New Release Sneak Day 3

Morning everyone and welcome back to Day 3 of sneaks for the

50th New Release from My Creative Time!

I hope you are all LOVING the new release sneaks!! These sets are just so AWESOME!!!

Today's sneaks from the DT are using the super ADORABLE new release set~

You're a Hit Valentine

*having a baseball player in the house totally makes this one of my new favorite sets*

For my card today, I made a valentine for my valentine...my baseball playing/loving son!

How adorable is that baseball kiddo?? I colored him using my prismacolor pencils and added the stitching to the heart he is holding...placing him aside to put my card together.

I used the new designer paper from DoodleBug Designs~Home Run. I die cut the mat using the Stitched Rectangular Frame Die and then for some extra touches, I placed some eyelets in each of the 4 corners.

Next using some matching designer paper, I die cut a circle from the Bunch of Fun Circle Dies which would hold my cutie baseball player.

Some Stars and Stripes Trendy Twine as more embellishing was wrapped around the card base 2 times and tied in a bow. 

Finally for the sentiment, I used the die from the Fun Stitched Tag Dies, added the sentiment from the new You're a Hit Valentine set and stamped the stitches 2 more times onto the tag sides. It was then all popped up onto the front of my card.

Mini Greeting Dies

This set is perfect for those go to die cut sentiments and I know you are all going to LOVE it!

'Tis the season for gift giving so for my project today I made a coffee inspired card with a place inside for a gift card. 

I started with a kraft cardstock base, added a layer of white cardstock, then some designed paper from My Minds Eye~Cozy Christmas using the Stitched Rectangular Frame Die. Next using the newly released Stitched Postage Frame Dies (LOVE this set!!) I added another layer of designer paper from the same set. For the adorable coffee cup, I used the We're Better Together stamp and dies and paper pieced the cup with more of the matching designer paper. I added some embellishment to the cup using the Boughs of Holly dies and some stickles for extra sparkle.

Finally the "enjoy" die cut is from the new set~Mini Greeting Dies. Isn't the font and size just awesome?!?!

The inside (which I didn't snap a pic of) had a place for hold a gift card....I used the Stitched Gift Card Pocket Die .

Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas....{Trendy Twine DT}

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 Christmas Twine Colors.

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

Candy Cane Trendy Twine and a Candy Tin

These make the best quick and easy gifts..fill with some goodies and embellish and they are ready to give :) For my project I used some Hershey Chocolate Nuggets and wrapped them using the holiday paper from Recollections. I was able to get 10 pieces inside the tin nicely and they are all cushioned in some paper shredding.

For my outside embellishing, I use the matching paper from Recollections to make a belly band. This not only holds the tin in place but allows a place for my sentiment. I wrapped some Candy Cane Trendy Twine around the belly band 2 times and tied it off to the side with a bow. For some extra holiday cheer, I did add some fun silver jingle bells.

My sentiment and die cuts come from My Creative Time~ Belly Band Sentiment Set and Stitched Belly Band Dies

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

Believe in Your Dreams....MCT Dec Stamp/Die of the Month

Good Morning everyone and welcome to another

"My FAVORITE stamp/die of the Month" with My Creative Time! 

This month we are featuring the stamp set

 "Believe in Your Dreams"

This set will be on sale for the entire month of December 

and the sale will end on December 31st, 2015 @ 12:00am PST!  

Here is the card I made using this beautiful set! 
To make my card I started with a kraft cardstock base, added a layer of white cardstock and then die cut the mat using the largest of the Stitched Rectangular Frame Die. For the designer paper I used a new paper pad I picked up from My Minds Eye~Fancy That. I grabbed the new Stitched Postage Frame Dies to add another layer to my card base as well as to add my sentiment and die cut feathers from the Believe in your Dreams set. Some gold thread bunched behind the feathers and some random gold enamel dots finish off my card!

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

Welcome to Day 4!!

For my project today I found a super cute 3D  Christmas tree in the Silhouette Store that holds some holiday treats! I cut the pieces out and put the box together using brown cardstock for the base and designer paper from Doodlebug Designs for the green tree.
To embellish my tree I grabbed a few older MCT stamps and dies! The sentiment is from the set "From Our Family to Yours" and fit perfectly on the base of the tree. 
To make my ornaments, I used the small circle die from the "Loyal Friends" set and then to die hanger from the "Warm Holiday Fun" set (not revised set). I popped my ornaments up onto the tree and stung them all together using some Totally White Trendy Twine.
Finally my tree wasn't complete without a big bright star! I used one of the "Bunch of Stitched Stars" die and gave it some extra sparkle using my Wink of Stella pen.

I hope you like my project for Day 4!
 *tip* for the day...

Welcome to Day 2!!
Today's projects are some fun stocking stuffers using the adorable mini hand sanitizers from Bath & Body Works. They changed the shape of these from the last time I purchased them so I did a little altering on my holder to fit the new shape.
Project #1 is the holder I made using some simple shapes in the Silhouette studio. I cut all the layers using black cardstock and designer paper from Recollections and attached all the pieces. Placing my hand sanitizer inside the holder and tying it closed with some Totally Red Trendy Twine. For my tag I used the newer released Holiday Tags set. How adorable is that santa die cut??? I just LOVE it!
Project #2 is also one of the new hand sanitizers but this one just has a cute tag. Again I used the Holiday Tags for the candy cane die cut and the circle tag as well as using a slightly larger circle from the Bunch of Fun Circle Die set. My tag was then tied onto the hand sanitizer using some Totally Black Trendy Twine.

I hope you like my project for Day 2!
 *tip* for the day...little gifts like these hand sanitizers make awesome stocking stuffers and teacher gifts. Just grab a tag die and a sentiment or image and you can mass produce several tags just to have on hand for those last minute gifts!

Thanks for stopping by and make sure to head on over to the My Creative Time blog HERE to see more holiday gift ideas and projects!!!!
I will be back tomorrow with Day 3!
