MCT 131st Release - Day 4

 Emma wraps up this week

with a beautiful cover plate die and daisy set.

What's not to love!  The delicate flower cutout on the die is perfection.

I just had to use that deep yellow from the paper pad so it would show through the cut outs.

Then the daisy flowers!  Oh my!  So much you could do with this

set but I kept envisioning a cluster of daisies on a white background.

The vines from the Foliage Die set are perfect for adding a pop of green.

I have used this die for many things and it even looks amazing in white!  Make sure

you add this set to your collection because you will use it over and over again.

Look at the delicate stamped cut out sentiment!  Just lovely!

MCT Day 3 - 131st Release

  Tea has certainly gained popularity over the past 

few years and I'm delighted that Emma is celebrating with this Tea inspired release.

Something else that goes with tea are doilies.  Again it's a Victorian touch

and adds so much elegance to any tea gift or favor.

Look how adorable this little packet of tea is!  What an adorable favor or small

gift!  I have a best-tea who will love this.

I layered all three of our new Eyelet Doily Dies on top of each other

and then used another tea cup cut out to finish off the gift.

The script or font Emma used this release is so delicate!  You are going to love it.

My Creative Time 131st Release - Day two!

 I wanted to stay and play with these

products all day - guess that is why I have three to share!

I started out by making shaped cards, which I did, but then they were so cute and tiny, I just had to attach to a larger card/project.  Using the gold shimmer cardstock as the first layer gives these cups and saucers a true Victorian feel and they are stunning!

These were so cute, I just had to stamp a sentiment on the inside.

The top tea cup is mounted on a 3x3 card which is my most favorite to create.

Love this size.  The second one is actually attached to the 

Pocket Treat Die which is holding a Giradelli Chocolate!

The tea pot also HAD to be mounted on that gold shimmer card stock!

I used an organza bag filled with tea bags and used the tea pot as a tag!

The gold did not want to photograph well, but trust me, this is gorgeous!

My Creative Time Newest Release! Worth waiting for!!!!

 So many words to describe this week!

Adorable, cute, and TEAriffic are just a few!

Let's hop right into my card for today.

My weather here in Indiana sure doesn't look or feel like spring, but this release has me in a great mood.

Look at the paper!  How adorably cute and springy is the paper.  Of course

you know Emma is going to give us great paper pads with cut outs and dies

so that our crafting time is so easy.  I could not resist cutting out the

teapot and cup and using my Pretty Scallop & Layer die set to 

showcase the cutouts.  It's a simple card that packs a punch of

cuteness and is perfect to sent to your bestie!

My Creative Time - Anything Goes

 I have come to love making tags

with Emma's products.  They are simple but can totally take the place of a card.

Today I made an Easter Treat Bag using several

dies.  I think I shared with you at the last release, I am in love

with "all thing scallop" so this tag fits right in.

Someone once said it's all about the presentation and this tag

proves that.  Chocolate covered pretzels never looked so cute!

To start, I used the Dots, Flowers & Solids Paper pad from our last release!

These small little flowers are so adorable, I think I could use an entire paper pad of just them!

The tag is made by layering the Pretty Scallop Tall Tag Dies & the Tall Tag Frame Die Layers.

They look beautiful together!

Then I used the Ginger Easter Bunnies Stamps & Dies set and used the negative hunny space

on the Flowered paper.  The sentiment comes from the same stamp & die set.

One of our Design Team Members used this negative space on

her project for the last release and I just couldn't get over that bunny butt!!!

I knew instantly what I would be making for today when I saw her project.

I wrapped it all together with some pink seam binding from my stash.

Well there you have it!  Another fun Anything Goes!

Thank you for stopping by - it was fun!

My Creative Time - Tag it Tuesday!

 Today's post is with a TWIST!

Emma asked that we use the Peppermint Candy Die on our tag.

As you can see, I tried to make a flower out of the pinwheel portion

and I think it turned out cute!

Having the Pretty Scallop Tall Tag Dies make creating something on a larger scale a piece of cake!

I layered on top the Pretty Scallop Circle & Circle Layer Dies for the base.

Adding in the Foliage Dies is so fun as it can add to any project.  I used the Medium Holiday Bow

at the top for interest and finished off my tag with a

sentiment from Painting Bunnies.

This tag will fit into an A2 size envelope and could be sent just like a card.

Thanks for stopping!

My Creative Time - Make it Manly!

 I remember the first time I saw

the Dots, Solids & Stripes paper pad that

goes with LET IT SNOW set.  I knew this paper would also be

my go-to for manly cards.  Today I needed a birthday card for

a male.  I had ordered the Love You Lots stamp & Die set because I love Gnomes!

Today I finally got to use him!

I stamped him and used my Copic markers to color him to coordinate with the paper pad.  With so many colors in this stripe I just knew I could find the perfect combination.

I used a colored cardstock for my base because I think it looks more "manly" - LOL!

I think this Gnome colored up pretty cute all decked out in purple!

I also did a white panel on the inside and stamped another sentiment.

The patterned paper strip at the bottom just gives it a finishing touch.

What a fun card to create!

Just a hint - if you like doing layers - use the Cute Card Dies!  I was looking through my stash and I couldn't believe I've never used these for card layers!  How perfect!

MCT products used:

Cute Card Dies

Celebrate You

Love You Lots

Dots, Solids, & Stripes Paper

Foliage Dies

Thank you for stopping by today!

Enjoy the day creating something!

My Creative Time Favor - 'Tis the luck of the Irish!

 I hope you have had time to catch your breath

after last week's newest release!  I'm still on a high working with all of the

new products, however St. Patricks Day is almost here!

Have I ever told you how much my hubby loves it

when I make treats for MCT projects?  Well now that I'm retired he is the beneficiary!

When I looked at the new paper pads, my thoughts immediately went to St. Paddy's day.

I think the green just screams IRISH!

I used the Short Milk Treat Box and it's FULL of gold coins!

It holds a lot of treats and would also be perfect for Easter filled with chocolates

or jelly beans!  You could even mount a Ginger Bunny on the outside!

I still love having little treats at my place settings when I entertain, and this little milk

box goes together so easily that it would be great to use!

To construct the box, I creased all lines BEFORE putting the box together

because our new paper line is so sturdy, you will need to work with the box

to get it to fold in the correct places.  The Short Milk Box cuts out perfectly on two 6x6 sheets

of card stock.  I used the Dots, Flowers & Solids paper pad that goes

with the Spring Gingers.  LOVE these little white flowers.

Then I cut the shamrocks from the Mini Lollipop Holder & Add on set and added a sparkly gem! 

I used the Small Holiday Bow for the top of the box.

I stamped my sentiment from the Rainbow Sentiments on an oval cut from the Pretty Oval

Layer die.

I hope you enjoy my little treat box all decked out for St. Paddy's Day!

Thank you for stopping by!
