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 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!

Welcome Ginger One and Ginger Two!!!

Debuting February 24, 2023

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!

My Creative Time 118th Release Day!

 Another whirlwind week just flew by!

I hope you had as much fun as the Design Team did

because we had a ball!

For our blog hop today, I am featuring the 

Painting Bunnies & Happy Easter Dies!

Taking a different spin on what you can create,

I designed an adorable small votive

candle with a battery operated light.

What a great little project!

I stamped on vellum and colored on the back side 

before attaching to the frosted votive.  I used glue

dots to adhere and they hardly show up at all!

The twine is from my stash and adds a little color

to pull the project together.

My Creative Time Sneaky Peak 2 - 118th Edition

 Wasn't yesterday the best????

We have another fun day today

featuring a new Fancy Topper Die!

SOOOO MANY ideas to be made

with this adorable die.

This die will make quick work out of creating little

treats or favors for your favorite people.  

The die is created to cover a 3 inch opening but I used a larger

bag here and folded it in before I stapled the topper on!

Having the layering piece means you can cover your 

staples easily!

PS - so sorry for the way my bunny decided to lay in the bag.

He and I had a power struggle and he won, LOL!

Every time I moved him, I'd flip over the bag and he

settled to the one side again!
