My Creative Time's February Stamp and Die Release Blog Hop

Lucky Gift Box and Bracelet...

Happy Friday Crafty Friends! What better way to start the weekend if it's not with a FUN Blog Hop from My Creative Time. If you are coming from Nikki's Blog, Scrappin' Navy Wife, then, you are where you need to be. For today's release project, I was to showcase the new Treat Slider Box. I wanted to get ahead on the holidays and decided to create some fun and easy bracelets with its coordinating giftbox. Here are some pics for you:

I love how the ribbon and feathery piece of boa dress up this cute and fun box.

One of the treat slider box pieces, I decided to use it as a tag. I dry embossed it with an embossing folder. hard to see, but I did the same for the base of the little box. The sentiment is definately perfect for this gift. Stamped it in black ranger ink.

Here is the top box cut in printed cardstock. It is a scrap from an older project.

Cut a piece of acetate scrap from the base of the box to put as a lid for the bracelet to stay put.

 



Cut a 4 leaf clover from the new release die out of printed cardstock and another one from acettate to put in front of the printed one. Atacched both with a jump ring to the bracelet. Hard to see, but also added some satin white ribbon to the bottom base of the box.

 

Now... onto the February Stamp and Die Release:

MCT's February Release Sneak Peek- Day 3

Jar of Roses Card...

Good Morning All! Welcome back for a fun Sneak Peek, for the My Creative Time February Release. You will ALL Love this month's release! I cannot wait for you to see all of the Stamps and Dies that are coming out. For starters, let me show you a bit of fun I had creating my Victorian themed card.

I truly LOVE LOVE LOVE this Doily die! I can't wait for you all to play with it too!

The bottom part of the jar is cut twice one in pattern cardstock and the other in acetate. It is hard to see, but the shine of the acetate really gives it a real jar look. I embellished the pattern cardstock with diff color stickles. Faux stitches in white gell pen really make the aqua base color really pop.

 



The lid is colored with the darkest brown BIC marker. Added some glimmer mist to it. Adhered it with foam dots to the rest of the jar. Tied a piece of hemp into a bow and adhered an embellished stitched heart button (from upcoming die release). The fern leaves are scraps from a leftover project.

The base card already had a cut circle in the center. So, I punched a 2" circle from a scrap. Then, stamped the Sentiment from a new stamp set from this upcoming release.

This small flower is part of a stitched flower button die that can be decorated and used in various ways. I distressed this edges and added stickles for glimmer and shine. 

 

Thanks so much for stopping by! Stay tuned all week and for FUN Blog Hop at the end of the week.

 Make sure to head on over to My Creative Time to see the rest of the Design Team projects.

MCT's Designer Challenge Thursday

Mini Valentine Candy Jar...



Good Morning Crafty Friends! Welcome back for another episode of My Creative Time's Designer Challenge Thursday. This Challenge is hosted by the Design Team Member Nikki from Scrappin' Navy Wife. She has challenged all of us to create a project of choice, using Embossing. Dry, heat,or both could be used for this project.

 Here are shots of my easy to make project and ready to gift give for that special someone for Valentine's Day!

 

This mini jar literally took only minutes to dress up and fill with yumminess!

 



The center heart was dry embossed with a cuttlebug small dots embossing folder. The kraft color background was done with the large dots embossing folder then border punched.

 







I decided to heat emboss the sentiments with versamark and black embossing powder.

MCT's Thrifty Thursday

Will You Be My Valentine?

Good Morning All... Welcome back to my Crafty Lil' Blog for a new and Fun episode of Thrifty Thursday. I really enjoyed today's project because I got to use any scraps left over from of my previous projects.  This is what I came up with:

As you can see from my previous project, I also used leftover buttons and ribbon as well. This card is also similar to the last card and using the same technique as well from the last Challenge.

 

I really liked how the stamped image looked inside the heart and on top of the vellum layer.

 

Instead of a thread element going through the holes of the buttons, I decided to fill the holes with red stickles. It gives the card a bit of a glittered finish. The corners were punched with a Stampin' Up punch (don't remember the name of it). And of course, I have to use my favorite look, a nice clean ribbon to the card to finish it off.

 

Thanks again Crafty Friends, for stopping by my Lil' Crafty Corner. Please be sure to stop by My Creative Time for more Thrifty Thursday Inspiration from the rest of the Talented Design Team!

 

 

 



MCT's Designer Challenge Thursday

Hello Kitty Valentine Card...



Good Morning Crafty Friends!Welcome back to my Crafty Blog. I wanted to share with all of you another episode of My Creative Time- Designer Challenge. Today's Design Team Host is Liz from Liz's Paper Loft. For her Challenge, she is asking all of us to use 1-2-3: 1 Bow, 2 Pattern Papers, and 3 Buttons. This is what I came up with:

White Cardstock Background, Black/White polka dotted matted background, and white ribbon with red stitching really make this simple HK Card stand out.

Since there is alot of background colors and dots going on, I decided to keep the HK background white  for the kitty to stand out. Simple... was the keyword on this project. I accented the"Stitched Postage Frame" Die with red stickles dots. They really stand out more in person.

 

 

To finish this simple and cute card I used two different sizes in hearts. The big heart was tied with a small scrap of hemp.

My two pattern papers were black and white polka dotted cardstock and pink and red stripes.

The sentiment came from the My Creative Time "LOTS OF LOVE" stamp set.

 

 

Thanks so much for stopping by to see what I created for today's challenge. Please be sure to stop by My Creative Time to see the rest of the Design Team Projects for this Challenge. Take Care and hope to inspire you a bit today!

 









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.
