MCT 5 Days of Christmas - Day 5

Hello, and welcome to our 5th day of the My Creative Time 5 Days of Christmas!  Today we thought we would surprise you with a variety of ideas!

For my project today, I made a cute little treat box our new Sleigh and Sleigh Bed Dies!  I just love these!  And, I thought it would be fun to have the snowman from the Cute Snowman Gift Tag Die leading the sleigh (or maybe he was just hit by it - not sure).  Either way, he's pretty cute up front!

MCT 5 Days of Christmas - Day 4

Hello, and welcome to our 4th day of the My Creative Time 5 Days of Christmas!  Today we will all be showcasing some quick and easy gift card holders!

For my project today, I made a fun little gift card holder using the Gift Card Gift Box Die.  This little box is the perfect size to decorate for any occasion!  I pulled out one of my favorite Christmas sets to embellish it:  No Peeking.  The stocking die from this set is just too cute, and I love how the sentiments fit onto it perfectly!  I finished off this project with some pretty twine and a few sequins.

MCT 5 Days of Christmas - Day 3

Hello, and welcome to our 3rd day of the My Creative Time 5 Days of Christmas!  Today we will all be showcasing some quick and easy cards!

For my card today, I decided to use a watercolor background that I'd made for another project some time back and ended up not using.  I thought it made a nice background for the Winter Flake Dies.  I then made a panel using silver and white pieces of cardstock, die cutting openings in them, using the Scalloped Stitched Circles Dies.  The sentiment is from Christmas Wishes.  I tied a bit of baker's twine onto this front panel and then popped it up onto the card base using some dimensional adhesive.

MCT 5 Days of Christmas - Day 2!

Hello, and welcome to our 2nd day of the My Creative Time 5 Days of Christmas!  Today we will all be showcasing some quick and easy treat holders!

For my project today, I made a cute little treat box using some of my favorite MCT products!  For the box itself, I used the Milk Carton Die. I then adorned it with the snowman from the Cute Snowman Gift Tag Die!  I just love this little guy!  I finished this project off with one of my all time favorite MCT stamps and dies - the Teeny Tag Layering Dies, stamped with a sentiment from Teeny Tag Holidays!

Today is our 1st day of our 5 Days of Christmas!  We will all be showcasing some quick and EASY tags!

Since I knitted up a cowl as a gift for somebody special, I just had to make a tag to go with it!  I used the tag die from Made with Love, but I ran it through my Vagabond with the top plate just covering half of the die and then slid the die down to make a longer size tag before putting the top plate on the other half, running it through the Vagabond again.  The "knitted with love" sentiment and the adorable heart ball of yarn stamp and die are all from Made with Love.  I found the "ho ho ho" sentiment in the Mini Christmas Greetings stamp set, and the darling little tree die cut is from the Holiday Tag set!

MCT 85th Edition Release Sneak Peek #3

Are you ready for the last day of the My Creative Time 85th Edition Release sneak peeks?  Today we are sneaking one more fabulous stamp set:  Christmas Wishes!

Christmas Wishes is full of those perfect sentiments you are always reaching for when making your holiday projects.  I heat embossed one onto my adorable little puppy in a coffee cup die cut, made with the new Cute Mugs set, also being released tomorrow!  I thought it would be fun to make this circle shaped card look like an ornament, so I used the More Stitched Circle Dies to make the card base and then added the ornament holder and bow dies from Fun Stitched Ornaments & More.

Get ready for this fun release tomorrow!

I just can't get over how cute this kitty in the teacup is!  This set also includes a dog in a coffee mug, and lots of sweet sentiments, like the one I used here.  So adorable!  The die cut and sentiment fit perfectly on a die cut made with one of the Stitched Postage Frame Dies.  I used one of the MORE Stitched Rectangular Dies for the patterned paper layer.  The cute little stitched heart on the teacup was made with a die from Made with Love.

Ninth Birthday Card

I just love this snake cut from the Cricut Birthday Bash cartridge!  He usually holds the number 8, but it's easy to swap out the numbers in Cricut Design Space.  I made this card for one of my students.  A quick watercolor of the background and a sentiment from My Creative Time's Prehistoric Holidays finished off the card!

MCT 3D Wednesday

It's 3D Wednesday with My Creative Time!  I just love the new Gift Card Gift Box Die, so I had to use it today to make a cute little fall themed box!  I dressed it up with the pumpkin from the Cute Pumpkin Tag Die and a tag made with the Teeny Tag Layering Dies and a sentiment from Teeny Tag Holidays!

Be sure to stop by Emma's blog for some more 3D inspiration!

MCT Made in Minutes

It's Made in Minutes with My Creative Time!  There are so many MCT goodies that are perfect for making quick projects, and I used a couple of them for making a treat box today:  the Mini Gift Box Die and the Reindeer Lollipop Holder Die!    The Mini Gift Box Die makes an adorable little treat box all on its own, but how cute is it when you attach this reindeer head from the lollipop holder die to the front of it?  To cover up the holes on the front of the reindeer die cut, I added a fun bow made with the Fun Size Scallop Stitched Bow Die.

MCT 48 Hour Flash Sale & Blog Hop!

Good morning, and welcome to another 48 Hour Flash Sale!  This sale is for 48 hours ONLY, going on right NOW and ending on Sunday, November 4th, 2018 @ 7 PM PST.  We are showcasing an AMAZING new stamp and die set!  It is called Just a Little Something.  This set is available for purchase here.  Don't forget to use the code FLASH at checkout to get 20% off of your entire "in-stock" only purchase!  Sale applies to in-stock items only!

This new set is so adorable!  It comes with three cute tag dies and six big sentiments in a pretty font, along with a gorgeous snowflake stamp and "to" and "from" stamps for the back of your tags.  This is such a great set for making quick, cute tags!  You can see how quick it was for me to make the snowflake tag - I just cut it out of some fun patterned paper and stamped it!  For the other two, I had fun doing a layering effect, which was also pretty fast.  I just die cut the tags multiple times in different colors, and then used my Misti Stamping Tool to stamp the sentiment in the exact same spot in each.  Then, when I cut the different colors and adhered the layers together, the sentiments lined up perfectly!

Here is a closer look at Just a Little Something:

Birthday Flowerpot Card

We recently celebrated another birthday in my classroom, and I used Lori Whitlock's Card Kit Flower Pot, which I purchased from the Silhouette Online Store, to make this cute little card. The cut comes with the flowers and little scalloped circles that go in the center of them.  I added leaves made with My Creative Time's Stitched Leaves Dies and MCT's Stitched Button Dies for the centers of the flowers.  I cut the flowers with papers from my scraps and popped them up with dimensional adhesive.  The tag was die cut using MCT's Chunky Jar Accessories and stamped with a sentiment from that same set.

The card pulls out of the flowerpot, leaving a big area to write a message.  So fun!
