My Creative Time 130th Edition Blog Hop & Release!

 I would imagine you are all excited that this was a short week

as we introduced you to Emma's latest product release.  That means Friday came a lot 

quicker.  This morning as I was scrolling through posts from my Design Team sisters I 

admit I squealed a few times!  Everything is just too cute!

I had hoped I'd feel well enough to do a video, but working on the

computer was just a little more than I could handle, but here is a recap of this week's 

projects!

I just love these two new paper pads as they will carry us through spring

crafting with bright and cheery colors.

Today for our blog hop, I'm bringing you a split card using multiple sheets of paper as well as products from the existing line.  I am in love with the Pretty Scallop ANYTHING collection - lol!

Inside of card

I rarely use colored cardstock bases but I just had to on this one as it set off

the scallop edges.  Using the new Ginger Easter Bunnies Stamps & Dies for this card made

it easy as I colored a couple more images and allowed them to be 

center stage!  The fun part about a card like this is that you can use

scraps on the front instead of cutting into a brand new sheet of paper.

My Creative Time 130th Release - Day 3

 What a great week!

Emma is famous for her adorable tag dies and today

she adds another one to her existing sets!

Meet the Pretty Scallop Tall Tag Dies

This New die coordinates with the existing Tall Tag Frame Die Layers and Frame Dies!

It's a great way to add interest to your projects!

I have started to use tags as cards as they fit perfectly in an A2 Size envelope.

I couldn't resist adding the Pretty Oval Scallop Dies to set the framework

for the adorable bunnies cut from the new Spring Gingers paper pad!

The sentiment and die comes from Day 1 of our sneaks.

I layers papers from the Spring Ginger Paper pad and did I tell you how nice it

is to use these papers due to the weight of the paper???  They will give your project so

much polish as they are not flimsy at all!

to share today's new items with you!  You are going to flip!

Here's a close up of Ginger Easter One!  I put one 

Snicker Snack size bar at the bottom of the Mini Lollipop Holder.

What a cute placesetting gift for Easter!

Here is a close up of Ginger Easter Two!

I sort of screamed after I had him together - he is adorable!!!

Oh and if you think you are still seeings stickles on my projects, you may be correct!

Because I wanted the focus to be on the Easter Ginger, I finished the inside

of the card and placed the sentiment at the bottom of the card.

If you have followed me, you know I like to draw on the faces & eyelashes because

they are so fun!  These little Gingers didn't disappoint - you are going to love them!

My Creative Time 130th Release week - Sneaky Peeks #1

 There seems to be a little bit of spring in the air and this week,

the My Creative Design Team gets to share a sample of what is to come!

I love this time of year (although I get impatient) and wait longingly for the sunshine

to appear here in Indiana.  Right now, we could have any kind of weather, even snow, but

this release will not disappoint you if you are anticipating spring!

Doesn't this scene just scream SPRING!

What is cuter than two bunnies skipping on a hillside?

I just had to color these bunnies as soon as I opened them and you can

see that I didn't have a lot to color.  So quick and easy!

I used my chalks to color the ears, and my Copic markers on the bunnies & basket.

Because I wanted to use both NEW paper pads, I finished the inside of my

card with another stamped sentiment allowing for plenty of room to write a note on the 

gorgeous pretty Scallop rectangle!

This is such a fun week!  I will admit, I usually take the EASY route and use the dies

to cut out the pre-colored images in the paper pads, but I wanted white bunnies and they

were super easy to color.  Having both of the new paper pads will make spring projects easy peasy!

Spring Gingers Release 2/24/23

Sorry no video today!  I've been having some vertigo and I have to limit how much

Have a great time blog HOPPING!!!!  Get it?

My Creative Time - Gift Card HELPERS!

 I get to share with you today one of the 

most used dies in my MCT collection - Gift Card Helpers!

Why?  Well I can take ANY card that I've already made and turn it into a gift card holder.

I created this card during a past release week.

Today I turned it into a gift card holder by adding the panel on the inside flap.  I cut the patterned paper at 5.25x4 and the color panel is 1/8 inch larger.  That way I get a skinny edge.

This is what the card looks like open on the inside!

I made a whole bunch of coffee related cards with Emma's Let's Have Coffee.

(inside of card)

Today I made it a gift card holder!

The helpers are a perfect combo and give you both landscape and portrait options for adding your cards!

MCT Products used:

Let's Have Coffee

Cute Heart Frame Dies

Ginger Boy & Girl Die

Sweet Gingerbread Person Die

Love you Most

I hope you enjoyed my Gift Card holders today!  Make sure and

get this die while you can!

My Creative Time - Just Cards

 As a card maker you know this is my favorite day!

Emma asked that we use the cloud dies and I couldn't stop thinking

about this style once I saw a similar one on Pinterest.

I call it Clouds of PINK!

Imagine finding out you are going to have a baby girl and you get this card????

Products used to create this card:

MCT Script, Hearts & Solids Paper Pad

Cloud Dies

Cute Heart Frame Dies

Pretty Scallop Rectangle Frame Dies

Congrats Stamp & Die Set

As you can see, I double layered the clouds using some silver holographic paper from my scrap bin.  Then after glueing the TINY hearts coming from the clouds I added a few more gems that pick

up the pink color.  The scallop layer is popped up using a piece of fun foam for an even

layer of dimension.

I love this card!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Happy crafting!

Anything Goes with My Creative Time!

 Welcome to another Anything Goes with My Creative Time!

I created a couple of items for today - what a wonderful way to spend a weekend -

creating with Emma's great products.  So fun!!!

With Valentines Day just around the corner, I just had to make a couple of goodies!

Let's start with the LOVE Shaker Card!  I just got this die during the last

release and LOVE it - seriously love it.  I knew I wanted to make a shaker inside

the heart.  To make it easier to layer I cut out the LOVE part 7 times, but I found out

my machine would cut 2 out at a time!  Bonus!!!  I knew the layers

would look nicer from the side view than foam tape.

Of course I had to use the cutest papers ever from MCT!

The Pretty Scallop Rectangle is popped up with a piece of foam!!!

When I need a larger space and don't want any part sagging, I use foam.

I buy it on Amazon by the sheets - love it!

Here's a close up of the shaker window!

I think that tiny bow just sets the whole card off!

Then what's Valentine's Day without a treat!

The Fancy Topper die makes this go together in minutes!

It may look like you spent all afternoon, but you and I know the secret!

Can you see the tiny heart confetti in the bag with the chocolate???

I have an old Martha Stewart punch that cuts 7 mini hearts out at the same time.

I love that punch and it always gets a workout about this time of year.

It's perfect for using on scraps too.

Do you recognize the heart on top of the topper????

Tell me below if you think you know!
