My Creative Time 126th Release and Blog Hop!

 What a great week!

For the Blog Hop today I want to feature the Ginger Chef Paper Pad!

I created a cute gift box using the Shopping Bag Die, die cut one of the Gingers and a tag to decorate the front of my box.

On the inside I used my Tall Tag Frame Dies to cut out 5 gift tags, added a hole and some twine to finish them off.  Using the next larger size tag in the Tall Tag Frame Dies I cut some solid red tags in case they want a place to write something.  The two tags can easily be put together to create a finished look.

I have a friend in church is who is a "baker"!  She is amazing and I'm sure she gives out holiday goodies to all kinds of people, so this gift box is for her!  It's a cute and useful gift and I'm sure she will love it!

Isn't it amazing what cute gifts we can make with our crafting skills?

Here is a quick review of this week's projects.

My Creative Time 126th Edition Sneaky Peek - Day 3!

 How can we already be on our final day of sneaks???

It's been such a great week!

Today we are showcasing a new Folded Tag Die & the Ginger Accessories One Die Set.

YEP!  We have clothes for our little Ginger Boy & Girl Dies!

I loved being able to pull down the Chef hat like little kids do!  HA HA!

Once again, I gave my little chef some lashes and pink cheeks.  I modified her nose and lips, drew some white squiggles on her arms and legs and chalked around most edges.

The big thing I did with this tag is turn it into a gift card holder.

Instead of the flap opening up, I glued a tiny bead of adhesive along two edges making sure I had room for a gift card or even CASH.

I added a larger Kraft tag behind this die to stamp my sentiment.  The sentiment comes from a previous release called Sweet Holiday Wishes & Die set.  It's the second time I've used that set this week!

Using Kraft paper for the holiday season is just perfect.  Make sure you have a white pigment ink pad so you can "chalk" the edges.  You can also see I used a stamp from my stash that just puts dots all over.  I have no idea where I got it, but it stays on my desk and I use it whenever I need to break up white space or a blank paper.  I tied both tags together with some ribbon and twine.

I adore this tag and can see so many uses for it coming up!

My Creative Time 126th Release Week - Day 2 Sneaky Peeks!

 CUTE, CUTE, CUTE is the best way for me to describe today!

I created a Z fold or S fold card to show off our Sweet Gingerbread Person Die 

who is now all DRESSED up as a Chef!

So cute!  You can make him a boy or girl chef and embellish however you like using the new Ginger Accessories Two set.  You can see that I took some liberties here by giving him eyelashes and rosy cheeks!  I even used my white gel pen to do the squiggles on his arms and legs as well as the stitching on his blue apron.

As a card maker, I love layers and a Z fold card gives you lots of opportunities for layers.

I used the XOXO Border Frame Dies for the backdrop of my little Ginger Boy and also on the inside for my sentiment.  Our new Jingle All The Way stamp and die set offers you TONS of sentiments to stamp on the spatula, but they can also be stamped on a card or tag as I did on the front.

With the card open you can see that I left the small panel turquoise in case I need to write something extra in the card.  The Ginger Chef paper pad is perfect for this style of card as each page blends with the others.  The sentiment used here is from a previous release Sweet Holiday Wishes & Die Set.

I wanted you to be able to SEE what the card looks like standing up.

Such an adorable card with so many more possibilities!

My Creative Time 126th Edition Sneaky Peeks Day One!

 It's hard NOT to be excited when I'm working with such

amazing products!  I know I say it every release, but Emma has really outdone herself once again.

I think this release more than any others in the past shows how versatile the products are and how they work back to previous releases.  I have stamps and dies I purchased when Emma first started and I'm still using them today as I create.  Purchases of stamps and dies are an investment in your craft and sure to bring you years of "crafty" therapy!

Well let's see what our first day holds for us!

Our new paper pad is called Ginger Chefs and it is gorgeous!  All sheets are double sided and some feature cut outs, tags and the beloved dot & heart pattern.

The weight of the paper is amazing and is perfect for card and tag makers because you really have some weight in your project.  Today we also add the new stamp & Die set called It's Cookie Season.

The Ginger Chef is cut from our paper pad and the sentiment is from It's Cookie Season.

Other MCT items used:

XOXO Border Dies

Pretty Scallop Rectangle Frames

Tall Tag Frame Dies

Mini Bow Dies - rarely gets put away!!!!

My Creative Time Gift Card Giving!

 Halloween is such a fun time of the year.

I live in Indiana so the break from warm, sticky and humid days is

literally a breath of fresh air.  The vibrant colors can cheer up anyone and today

I want my project to cheer you up.

Just like "peas & carrots", Halloween says Candy Corn so it is impossible for me

not to add a packet of candy in the mix.

I made the gift card a two layer card because these Candy Corn papers from MCT are just too perfect!

Other MCT items used:

Gift Card Tag Dies

Pretty Scallop Circle Dies

3 Inch Circle card dies

Thanks for stopping by today!
