Here is the card I made using this new set....

For my card I pulled out my Zig watercolor markers and went CAS with my design.
I was thinking rainbows...well because I think we all need to be reminded that life is full of beautiful colors and we should follow this sentiment....."to create the life you want to live!"
I kept that as my focal point and created a pretty rainbow watercolored background.
Next I stamped my "create" sentiment onto the watercolor paper.
I grabbed the banner die from the Chocolate Greetings set and extended the die cut to fit the rest of my sentiment.
It was then popped up using foam squares and the whole card mat attached to my card base with another piece of foam for some added dimension.
I finished my card up with some matching colored enamel dots placed onto the corresponding watercolor.

MCT 48th New Release Reveal & Blog Hop

Emma

You are not going to want to miss a thing! 

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

Friendships Are Forever

and here is what I made....

 I used a Shadowbox frame from 7~Gypsies and altered it to give to my bestie! I used designer paper from Fancy Pants~Wonderful Day and several MCT stamps and dies.

I wanted 2 spots for pictures so I used the XL Label Die and the matching Stitched XL Label die for my picture mats. I stamped the sentiment using the new Friendships are Forever set, once part of the sentiment onto each picture mat. For the centerpiece, I die cut the heart and added the "bestie" die popped up into the middle. Some random sparkly enamel dots completed this section.

For the top panels of my shadowbox, I used matching designer paper and filled in each square. Then using the Stitched Squares die I added 1 to each of the outside boxes. These could either hold more pictures so a fun quote can be added to these. Finally for the center square I added a Stitched Pretty Flower~again coordinating the pattern papers to match then whole project.

MCT 47th New Release Sneak day 3

Morning everyone!!! 
Are you ready for Day 3 of sneaks for the 
47th New Release from My Creative Time!?!?!?
I know I said this yesterday as well as the day before BUT you are all going to LOVE today's sneaks too!!!
Today's projects feature the new set~

Belly Band Stamps & Stitched Belly Band Dies

And here is the gift set I made using these! I am sure you all know by now that I just LOVE to make treats and especially paring them up with My Creative Time stamps and dies! So let's take a closer look at my projects.....

First up is my gift card holder using the older (and if you dont have this yet~you MUST add it to your wishlist) Embossed Gift Card Holder die. I added some Echo Park designer paper to the front and then using the new Belly Band Die I was able to slip this perfectly around the gift card die. It then gives the perfect spot for my sentiment which is part of the Belly Band stamp set. To further embellish my gift card holder, I used yesterday's sneak set~Holiday Tags and added the cute die cut holly leaves. I also stamped the to and from using the Holiday Tags set :)

Next up is my sweet holiday treat! I filled one of the Medium Candy Bags from Trendy Twine with some wrapped chocolate nuggets. Sealing the bag up and making my tag using the same dies as the gift card holder. This bracket layer die is the perfect size for my sentiment tag and leaves me just enough room to add some more holly leaves. I attached the tag to by bag with some Totally Red Trendy Twine. Both of these projects were super easy and quick to make and would be great for Teacher gifts, co workers or just to have alittle something for a neighbor.

MCT 47th New Release Sneak Day 2

Good Morning everyone and welcome to Day 2 of sneaks for the
47th New Release from My Creative Time!
What did you all think about the projects from yesterday? Pretty FABULOUS right!!
Well I really think you will LOVE today's new Stamp/Die set!
Another MUST have in my opinion...LOL!

Today's projects feature the new set~
Holiday Tags Stamps & Dies

Wait until you see all the tags and stamps that are included in this set! OMG there are a ton and the possibilities are endless!!!! 

For my card I took one of the sets of tag dies and used it to make a sentiment tag for my Santa card. I have to say I am loving the adorable Santa pieces that are also included in this set. I used them and placed it on a piece of red designer paper to act like Santa's red suit. Then I took the white of his jacket, the black belt and buttons and his shiny belt buckle and added it to the bottom corner of my card.

Again  for the tags, I used 2 of the new layers and stamped the fun Ho Ho Ho sentiment onto the top white layer. I added a silver eyelet to match Santa's belt buckle and tied it all together with some Peppermint Trendy Twine.

Stitched Squares Inside and Out & Fangtastic Day (Freebie)

Isn't that Vampire just too cute??? I LOVE him and he is going to be perfect for all those fun Halloween projects!!! To make my card, I used several older MCT dies and paired them up with the highly requested new Stitched Squares!! 

Like I always begin my cards, I used the largest Stitched Rectangular Frame Die and die cut my card mat. Next I used 2 of the new Stitched Square dies and made a mat for my vampire. I embellished the square mat using the small heart die from the Stitched Layering Hearts set and saved the cut out for the sentiment bubble. I also used the Stitched Decorative Banner die and some enamel dots. The sentiment, which is also part of this releases Freebie, was stamped onto a Fun Speech Bubble die, popped up using some foam adhesive and embellished with the extra heart die.

Finally to complete my card, I stamped and die cut out the cutie Vampire and colored him using my prismacolor pencils. He was then popped up onto the square mat right under the speech bubble. 

"FREEBIE STAMP"

Our "Freebie" for this release is this ADORABLE "Fangtastic Day" stamp and die set. It will be given to the FIRST 150 shoppers!

To My Friend......MCT What a Treat Wednesday

Good Morning everyone!!!
It is time for another one of my FAVORITE days over at My Creative Time~
What a Treat Wednesday!

I am sure you are all familiar with this day but if you are not it is where the MCT DT makes a treat using of course the awesome MCT stamps and dies!!!

During release week for the new Stitched Starburst Dies, Miss Ruthie shared the CUTEST flower card HERE using these dies. She has since inspired me to use that same idea to make my sucker covers.

To make these, I used a cut file from the Silhouette store for my sucker base and cut it out using designer papers from Lawn Fawn. Next I cut the Starburst (Stitched Starburst Dies) for my flowers and used one of the smaller circles (Bunch of Fun Circle Dies) for the centers. Some leaves (Stitched Leaves Dies) in coordinating green paper which I also used to stamp the sentiment onto. The sentiment was stamped on the bottom layer of the Teeny Tag Die using the stamp set~ Hey There Little Lady. 

Next I added that adorable lady bug~ also from the Hey There Little Lady set and colored her using my copic markers.

To finish my project off, I added suckers to the covers and tied it all together with some Totally White Trendy Twine.

My Creative Time Products Used:
Bunch of Fun Circle Dies
Stitched Starburst Dies

Well those are my treats. A fun way to decorate suckers with of course my favorite MCT products!! These came together so fast and they would make awesome party favors~don't you think????

Birthday Fishes.....MCT Made in Minutes

Good Morning everyone!!!

It is time for another

My Creative Time's~ Made In Minutes!

 The MCT DT will be sharing quick and easy projects using MCT stamps and dies that you can recreate in no time!

To make my card, after finding the paper pad I wanted to use, took me about 15 minutes to put together. I die cut the top layer using the largest Stitched Rectangular Frame Die and then die cut a circle off to the side using one of the medium Circle Dies. Since I just LOVE to stamp onto pattern paper, I die cut the fishy out and then stamped them onto some fun pattern paper (all the paper I used on my card is from Teresa Collins~Far & Away)

Next I tucked the fish half behind the circle peeking out and placed the other one onto the top of the card front. 

I stamped my sentiment, using the newly released You're a Great Catch onto the card front, added some bubbles that I embellished with glossy accents and then tied the whole card together with some hemp twine.

My finishing touches included using a pear pin hooked onto the hemp twine which I added a die cut and stamped hook to.

I made this card for my FIL's birthday which is this coming Wednesday. He LOVES to fish and I know he will get a kick out of this card.

Gone Fishing!.....Scrapping the Little Things w/My Creative Time!

Good Morning and Welcome to another Scrapping the Little Things with My Creative Time! 

Before I share my PL cards I just want to apologize for not being around all last week. I was home in bed with pneumonia :( My oldest has been sick since before the 4th of July with pneumonia and just finished his second round of antibiotics. Then my youngest got an ear infection. Well 2 rounds of antibiotics for him as well so you know I was bound to get something from those kiddos. All last weekend I was feeling worse and worse and Monday morning it hit me hard. Off to the Dr's, a chest xray later to confirm and home to bed for the week. I did manage to make it to my son's All Star game but even sitting out in the fresh air wore me out. I am happy to say (even with this annoying cough still) I am feeling better and got in a weekend of baseball too!

Now onto my PL cards...

My kiddos are so lucky to have inlaws that have a summer home on the lake. We try so hard to make it down there are much as possible and when we do go, the boys spend HOURS fishing both on the dock and in the boat with my father in law. When Emma released those adorable new fishy stamps and dies, I knew I had to scrap some of my favorite pics of the boys fishing!
These pictures were taken last summer (I know I am WAY behind in my picture scrapping..LOL) I used the Stitched Journal Die for the 3x4 pic and shaker and the larger 4X6 Journal Die for the larger pic.
The sentiments on the smaller picture was stamped from the set~Find Joy in the Little Things on one of the tags from the Fun Stitched Tag Dies set. The larger sentiment, from the same above set was stamped onto the banner from the Vintage Stitched Label Die. I did embellish that further by adding some silver thread behind the sentiment. Kinda looks like fishing line doesnt it?
For the final 3x4 pocket, I made a fish bowl shaker. I stamped, die cut and colored the adorable goldfish and placed him inside the pocket with some blue sequins, a colored plant and then added a layer of vellum to the top.

I am so excited to share the project I made today using this releases FREEBIE set 

Find Joy in the Little Things

  along with the AWESOME

You're a Great Catch

stamp and die set

Making treats has got to be one of the things I LOVE to do best with My Creative Time Stamps and dies!!! My youngest is a HUGE fan of these fishy treats so I usually have a bag around the house at all times. Then I saw these 2 sets, I knew they would make for some sweet treats!

To make my treat I used a medium candy bag from Trendy Twine and filled it with a backing of designer paper and some yummy fishy treats! 

Next I went about putting my tag together. One of the MUST have dies from MCT is the Just Tags set and I die cut the bottom layer with the matching inside designer paper. I die cut the top layer with white cardstock as well as some additional designer paper that I ended up using the wave die border on. I stamped the sentiment from this releases FREEBIE set~ Find Joy in the Little Things onto the wave border piece and adhered it to the tag top. 

I used the adorable bubble stamp and added that to the white cardstock, colored it in with some Wink of Stella and glossy accents and placed it aside to dry. 

 I stamped my fishy onto red designer paper, die cut him out as well as stamped and die cut the hook using kraft cardstock. I popped the fishy up above the hook which I glued onto my tag at a slant. 

To finish my project up, I added some matching Peppermint Icicle Trendy Twine through the tag to attach it to my candy bag.
