FLASH SALE - MY CREATIVE TIME!

 I think I've been a fan of MCT since Emma began and I have the stamps & dies to prove it!

Emma has a FLASH SALE that starts tomorrow 10/20/23 at 8am PST.

Use the code FLASH to get 20% off your purchase.

Here is a quick card I created just to show you the versatility of her products.


Products used:

I Love Fall (sentiment)
Etched Edge Z Card (pumpkin stem)
Pretty Oval Dies (out of stock right now) I used the smallest oval, cut 3 for pumpkin

I love being able to build my projects and use Emma's designs.
I wanted to feature a pumpkin on my card but only had the large pumpkin from the last release so I made a pumpkin of my own!  I used distress inks to shade my pumpkin for a realistic look.


Don't let this great sale pass you by this weekend.

SPOOKY Halloween Coffee Gift Card with My Creative Time

 I had so much fun creating this haunting & spooky

coffee gift card holder.  Literally it took less than 20 minutes to put this

together and it is so cute!


I did make this die into a full card.  See below


By simply aligning the top of the card with a FOLDED piece of paper, make sure
the cut line of the die is just above the fold. When it comes out of the die cut machine you 
will have a top folding card.

MCT Products used:

This will fit into an A2 size envelope so it's not a tiny little card.
Using the Ginger Halloween paper on top of Kraft colored cardstock just
screams FALL.  I did use Tea Dye Distress ink to ink the edges of ALL the
papers.  I was beyond excited to use the Spooky Tag Dies as I just love
them all!  The two bats came from this set as well as the coffin.
Once I pulled out Happy Haunting and found the sentiment "Coffin Break", I was over
the moon!  How perfect for this themed coffee gift!

If you are new to Emma's designs, please note how crisp her stamps are!
The mix of fonts on one sentiment is amazing and truly sets your projects
apart from all the rest.  The ease of mixing and matching throughout her entire
line is what keeps me coming back for more!

Here is the link to her shop where you will find ALL of her creations:

Tell her Cathy sent you!

Thank you for taking time to visit my blog today.
I feel blessed that you have taken a couple of minutes to share
in my crafty hobby!

Tuesday Tags with My Creative Time!

 I often speak of the versatility of Emma's products and today 

I took a tag die and turned it into a pumpkin box filled with Halloween treats.

Emma makes it easy with her mix and match stamps & dies.


This was such an easy project to put together!
If you have "special" trick or treaters that like to give something extra
to, these would reproduce very easily.

Products used:

I added some Stickles to the tips of the leaves as well as some shading

with Distress Ink.  I actually distressed the pumpkin edges as well to make it

a more two toned color.  For the final touch I added a small bow at the stamp 

of the leaves.  I love it!

Thank you for stopping!  All products have links attached and will

take you directly to Emma's page if you just click on the name of the product.

Have a boootiful month!
