Christmas Coffee Cup Gift Card Holder


Merry Christmas!  I thought it was about time I posted in this little ol' blog!  I'm officially on winter break, and I had some fun last week making some gift card holders for colleagues using the My Creative Time Coffee Cup Gift Card Holder Die.  This is the cutest die for gifting a Starbucks gift card, and it comes together so quickly and easily!

Wishing you all a merry Christmas and a happy New Year!!!

21st Birthday Card


My niece just turned 21, so I had fun making a wine glass shaped card for her using a cut from the Cricut Alphabet cartridge.  The sentiment is from Papertrey Ink's Just a Number stamp set!

Aging to Perfection!

Hello!  It's been quite a while, and it feels so weird to not be crafting and blogging!  June was quite busy with the end of the school year and then our move to a new home.  Since then my days have been filled with decorating our new space, enjoying a long visit with good friends who travelled here from Philadelphia, and lots of get-togethers with friends and families.  I'm so thankful that this move happened in the summer, and it's given me the time to get everything organized so that I'll be all settled when school starts up again next month!


I am just starting to get into my craft room.  July is a big birthday month for my family, and my dad has a big one this year:  his 80th!  I made this card for him using the cute truck cut from the Cricut  Just Because Cards cartridge and the mountains from the Pop-Up Neighborhood cartridge.  The sentiment is from My Creative Time's Wow! So Many Candles!

MCT Gift Card Giving & Good-bye For Now


It's a bittersweet day on the blog today.  After being with Emma on the My Creative Time design team since it began, I am stepping down.  I have loved every minute of working with Emma and the rest of the team, but with an upcoming  move and more responsibilities in my job, it's time to step down.  Thank you, Emma, for everything!  You know I will keep using your AMAZING stamps and dies whenever I have a chance!

Now, today is Gift Card Giving with My Creative Time!  Today I made a card for a special graduate! I used the Surprise Pop-Out Card Die and decorated it with stamps and dies from Grad Night!


On the inside, I added a pocket made with the Stitched Gift Card Pocket Die.  I love this die; it's the perfect way to add a gift card to your card! 

Be sure to stop by Emma's blog for more Gift Card Giving inspiration!  And thank you to all of you who have left such nice comments on my little blog over the years; I've loved reading all of them!  Happy crafting!

MCT 3D Wednesday!

It's 3D Wednesday with My Creative Time!  It's just 2 1/2 weeks until summer vacation for me - the perfect time to pull out the adorable 2x2 Note Holder Die and make a cute little summer themed post-it note holder!  I used some fun Simple Stories patterned paper with the die.  Then I stamped a sentiment from the Sit Back & Relax stamp and die set onto a die cut made with one of the Ribbon End Dies.  The cute little sunglasses were made with a die from Berry Special.


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

MCT Tag It Tuesday


It's Tag It Tuesday with My Creative Time!  The new Happy Birthday Die is the perfect size for using on a tag!  I pulled out the Chunky Stitched Tag Dies and stamped on part of the fireworks stamp from Huge Celebration.  To give this stamp a little more dimension, I covered up most of the stars with die cut stars from 4x4 Journal Die + More.  All of the inking I did was with Tim Holtz Distress Inks.

Chickadee Birthday!


One of my students is raising chickens this year and is obsessed with chicks!  I had to put one on her birthday card, and I found this adorable chick cut on the Cricut Barnyard Babies cartridge.  I had him hold a little balloon made with one of the My Creative Time Stitched Circle Balloon Dies.  To make the grass, I used one of the MCT Fun Stitched Edges Dies, and the little sentiment is from To a Cute Little Chickie.  I put a "happy birthday" sentiment on the inside.

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 few of them for making a card today.  This card is a 3 1/2" square, and I used the 3" die from Stitched Square Dies Inside & Out for my background.  The adorable bird was made with the Lucky Bird Die and some pretty Paper Source tie dye paper I found at Hobby Lobby years ago.  The branch was made with a die from A Friend Like You.  Finally, I used a sentiment from Make a Splash.

Thanks for the Road Trip!


My parents took my son and I on a road trip to Southern California over my spring break a couple of weeks ago, so I made this thank you card for them.  I used the adorable station wagon from Papertrey Ink's On the Wagon stamp and die sets.  For the background, I found a Cricut cut from the Pop-Up Neighborhood cartridge.  The "Thanks for the" part of the sentiment is from My Creative Time's Thanks for the Lift and "Road Trip" is from On the Wagon.

Here are a few picture from our trip.  We saw some spectacular sites!

MCT 3D Wednesday!


It's 3D Wednesday with My Creative Time!  My nephew recently turned 13.  He loves it when we give him an "experience" for a gift, so I made him a cute little treat box with some chocolate inside, with a note tucked beneath telling him what he'll be doing with us this year!  I used my favorite Treat Slider Box Die and decorated it with one of the Stitched Large Balloon Dies.  The balloon is the perfect size for the Pretty Bold Number Dies.



I just love how the Treat Slider Box Die comes with 2 options of "wraps" that work perfectly with the Hershey's Nuggets!

This is such a fun die, and it really creates a unique background!  I die cut it twice, once in a pale yellow, and once in a deeper yellow.  This way I was actually able to make two card bases.  This one has the pale yellow outside, and I replaced the inner pieces with the deeper yellow.  I did the opposite on the other card.  To decorate this card, I added some pretty poppies, made with stamps and dies from A Beautiful Day.  "Thanks" was made with a stamp and die from Fun Notes.

My son's girlfriend recently turned 21, and this is the card that I made for her.  I used her favorite colors, a sentiment from Papertrey Ink's Just a Number stamp set, and the My Creative Time Cocktail Party Stitched Dies.  Since she likes things pretty simple, I didn't bling it up at all. :-)

Cozy Bed Get Well


One of my mom's friends took a tumble and is pretty banged up.  I made this card to cheer her up.  I just love the Take it Easy set from Papertrey Ink!  I "card lifted" this design from a card made by Nichole Heady.  I loved the way she made a patchwork quilt!

On the inside of the card, I stamped a sentiment from the new Amazing Things set.

Here's a closer look at the Floating Cloud Dies, A Friend Like You, and Amazing Things.  They are available now in the My Creative Time Store






Starting today... Friday, March 15, 2019, @ 8AM PST, we will be giving away this ADORABLE new Lucky Bird Die to the FIRST 25 shoppers!  If you are one of the first 25 shoppers, it will be automatically added to your package at the time of packaging/shipping.  Once 25 shoppers come through, the set will be available for purchase.  So if it's for sale in the store, you are not one of the 25.  No exceptions will be made.  This freebie set is not a part of the "bundle" and will be sold separately!
