My Creative Time - I need a favor!

 With the multitude of amazing dies from My Creative Time,

it's really fun to share to this Halloween Favor.

Emma asked us to use the Treat Sleeve Die and if you don't own it, run and get it!

It's the perfect "holder for those special treats.


In addition, I used:
October 31 Die - currently on backorder, you CAN preorder now
Wicked Night (sentiment) - currently on backorder, you CAN preorder now

FYI on the Oct 31 die.  I cut it twice, once in orange paper, and then again with purple.
When I layered them together I just slightly shifted the top layer so you could see
a little bit of the orange.  I love it!

I used twine from my stash and a plastic bag to hold the 
Halloween M&M's.  I love how this came out.  
The Treat Sleeve is large enough for a cookie to fit too, so if you are a baker,
this would be a great investment.

Thanks for stopping!
By the way, what is YOUR favorite Halloween treat???

I used the Treat Sleeve Die and cut it from vellum.

and black embossing powder.
I wrapped some Halloween twine around the pouch, and added a cut out from the Sweet Halloween paper pad using the A2 Fancy Frame Layer Dies.

You can't see it, but my treats are the cutest Halloween inspired Peppermint Patties!
Two of them fit perfectly in this pouch.

My Creative Time 124th Sneaky Peeks Day 3

We may be 1/2 way through the week, but there is so much more!

Remember how I told you

the new Wicked Night Paper Pad is so much more than Halloween?

Well take a look at this.


These colors right here!  I mean seriously - to die for.
Our new Foliage Dies and Small Flower Dies pair beautifully to create 
this lovely card.

I did add a sentiment from I Have Faith in You.  This set is one of my favorites
for adding to so many cards!  Don't this one slip away before you get it!
sentiment circle.  These dies are staples in my stash!  I could not create without these!

I added various embellishments from my craft room.

I love how this card came out!

My Creative Time 124th Sneaky Peeks Day 2

 I told you this would be a fun week!

 Ready for Day 2?

Today we feature Wicked Night Paper Pad, Wicked Night Stamp and Die Set & the Haunted House Dies!

First off, the paper pad is beautiful!  It has PINK pumpkins!  I love all

that you can do with this pad and it's so much more that a Halloween pad!


I created a Tall Card using a 7.5 x 7.5 piece of paper.
Then I added the Tall Frame Dies to start building my layers.
I cut the pink pumpkins (swoon!!) out by hand
but I used the accompanying dies for the remainder of this card.

I had a Halloween sticker set that I picked up last year on clearance and used the leaves from it.
I love how this came together and I didn't color a thing!  I just used the paper pad & dies!

My Creative Time 124th Sneaky Peeks Day 1

 Emma has outdone herself once again!

If you have been following her long you know she LOVES Halloween.

This release will not disappoint anyone!



Today we are featuring her NEW Candy Corn Paper Pad & her Sweet Halloween Stamp & Die Set.

I chose to make a "mayonnaise packet" treat pouch only I used a 6x6 piece of paper!
I like to stuff these pouches and keep on hand for "special Trick or Treaters" if you know
what I mean!!!  Emma's new paper line is great for projects like this because they are so
sturdy!  As a matter of fact I had to use my little stapler on the ends to keep it closed!
I would also suggest using the red sticky tape to hold it together.

In addition to the new release items, I also used:

Tag it Tuesday with MCT!

 Emma encouraged us to use a "beauty colors" left to our own thoughts.

As I went through my paper stash, this nautical paper jumped out!




I used the VERY POPULAR Scallop Tag dies & Wavy & regular Tag Dies from Emma's most recent Christmas in July Release.  They will be BACK IN STOCK on August 27th.  If I were you, I'd set an alarm!  This will be your go to tag die from here on and you want this before the holidays.

As you can see in my photo, it layers well with the Tag Frame Die allowing you to use for any occasion.  And let's not forget, you can use this with any of your existing paper pads!

This tag is attached to the Shopping Bag die that is holding a tube of sunscreen for my friend who is heading on vacation.  What a cute way to say "thinking of you today".


Products used:

Scallop Tag Dies

Wavy & Regular Tag Dies

Mermaid Background Die

Tag Frame Dies

Sentiment - Not a Decaf Day

My Creative Time Gift Card!

 Gift cards are my go-to gift at Christmas Time, birthdays, graduation etc.

It seems like it's gotten harder and harder to buy for people, especially my grands!

Each Christmas I either give cash or gift cards so they can select their own gift.

Since I don't spend much time picking out a gift, I like to put the extra effort

into making the gift card holder.  My Creative Time to the rescue!



MCT Products used:
(Back in stock August 27)
Sweet Holiday Wishes Stamps & Dies (Back in stock August 27)

I closed the little envelope with one of my favorite clips I get off Amazon.  Tim Holtz makes them too, but the ones from Amazon are much cheaper.

I used various gems and snowflakes from my stash to add the finishing touches.

Please note - Emma's paper pads are 80# and the perfect paper to use for projects such
as this.  The extra "weight" will add stability to your project and truly give it a polished look.

Thanks for stopping by today.  I hope you are getting the jump on your holiday crafting season as I am!
Just think while everyone else is frantically making cards and projects, you and I can sip our
hot cocoa while listening to seasonal music and looking at our tree!

Happy Holidays!
