MCT December Release Blog Hop

True Love Treat Holder...

Happy Happy Monday All! And Almost Happy New Year! Welcome Back for another FUN FUN FUN Hop with My Creative Time for the 22nd Release Stamp and Die Blog Hop. If you are hoppin' here from Nikki's Blog, you are in the right place. For my project today, I was assigned to showcase the  "Lots of Love" Stamp Set. When searching for ideas and supplies, I came across a small acetate/acrylic cylinder. So, I thought of creating a CUTE canndy holder! I hope My Hunn likes his pre-Valetine's Day treat! Before I find his real V-Day gift.

 



Simple background layers really  dress this cylinder up.

I suddenly had the urge to decorate this treat holder with an aqua bow and red boa piece.

LOVE LOVE LOVE the look of this layered tag! The acetate stitched tag is being held with mini foam dots behind thestamped glittered hearts. 

 These acetate stitched hearts are sandwiched with silver and red stickles. Fabulous 3-D hearts  really POP on the lid.

 

Thank you so much for hopping on here today. I am so delighted to be able to give you all some yummy Valentine inspiration! For some more amazing talent and inspiration, please head on over to Ruthie's September Ninth Blog.

MCT's December Sneak Peek- Day 1

I {HEART} You Earrings...

Happy Friday All! I hope everyone had a very warm and amazing Merry Christmas! Welcome back for another FUN Sneak Peek with My Creative Time and some of the Talented Design Team. For my Project today, I had My Two Beautiful Teen Nieces in mind. I wanted to create something Fun and Girly Especially for them. Here are some snap shots of what I created for them:

 

Showcasing : Stitched Heart Layering Dies

The printed cardstock is from a 6x6 pad from Carta Bella {Devoted by Carina Gardner}. I used a Stampin' Up punch for the earring holder part of the tag. Punched small holes and adhered to the tag.

Used silver earring hooks and silver jump rings to put them together.

The Stamped Sentiment is from My Creative Time's New Release coming up.

I LOVE My Creative Time Tags because they can be used in so many ways.  



This heart embellishment was cut with my Big Shot and from acrylic/acetate scraps from cricut carts packaging. I added red and silver stickles and swirled them around before drying time. Hemp Ribbon and Hemp twine along with red/white striped ribbon were added for the finishing touch.

 

Hoping I have shared with you all a bit of inspiration for the upcoming Sweethearts/ Valentine's Day.

Thank you so much for stopping by and don't forget to make you way to My Creative Time and check out what Emma and the rest of the Design Team have in store for you.

MCT'S 12 Days of Christmas- Day 12

Teacher Gift Idea...

Good Morning All! I hope you are staying warm, while you are enjoying all the Crafty Inspiration, My Creative Time and DT have shared with you all for the 12 Days of Christmas. Wowww... I cannot believe today is the last day for the 12 Days of Christmas! Well, let me share one more project I wanted to share for an easy and inexpensive gift for any Teacher or even co-worker or anyone who comes in mind. For my project today, I decided to give my Daughter's Teachers a single serving packet of Starbucks coffee along with a candy cane. I wanted to make a cute holder for them and this is what I came up with:

Wanted some color to the holder, I added some red/creme polka dot PP to the backgroung and to the front of the pocket.I folded the bottom part of the stitched tri-fold card in to make a pocket and adhered the sides.  

 



 

Added a green (tulley, as Emma loves o call it) bow for contrast. Made a rosette from different PP to add more prints and color to the  holder. I adhered foam tape to every layer of the rosette for dimension. Made a mini red metallic bow and adhered it to the bell. I wrapped hemp around the pocket and a small bow on the candy cane.

 



 

Side view of rosette lots of layering effect.

 

Supplies Used:

 Card Sentiments Stamp Set w/3x3 Trifold Card Die
