Wasn't yesterday totally AWESOME! Well today Emma and the design team will be sharing treat holder ideas!

I thought I would pull out one of my favorite little treat holder, this adorable bag die which can be found in the stamp and die set, Chalkboard Birthday! This die is so fun to create with! I made two different bags. The green bag has a heat embossed image from the Inside Christmas Cards set. I added the Santa hat from the Santa Suit Dies! This bag sort of reminds me of the Grinch, which I adore him! My red bag has the heat embossed image from the Christmas Word Tree, another darling little stamp! Both my bags have pom-poms around them, I found this cute little garland at Target. It is actually garland and cost maybe $3?? I still have some pom-poms left from the sting.

Super simple and fun little way to give that perfect holiday gift in!

I always get excited for this time of year for many reasons, one of them being that Emma does the 5 Days of Christmas!! This is when we share simple & quick projects that you can easily replicate!

Today it's all about tags! I couldn't help but use the new stamp and die set, No Peeking to make some super simple tags! These can be easily mass produced very quickly.

I tried to make them a little different by paper and by embellishing them slightly different! The sentiments are stamped on the Square Stitched Goody Dies, which was my attempt to make them look like presents.

Super simple right, besides no one ever keeps the tags, so no need to spend a great deal of time on them...right?

Materials Used:

No Peeking ~ stockings & sentiments

Square Stitched Goody Dies ~ presents

Fun Stitched Ornaments & More ~ bows

Winter Flake Dies ~ snow flake die

Boughs of Holly ~ holly

Holiday Tags ~ snow flakes on stockings

Paper ~ PTI and MME

twine

jingle bells

white embossing powder

glitter

MCT ~ 61st Edition Sneak Peek Day 4

Good morning!! Welcome to the final day of the 61st Edition Sneak Peeks over at My Creative Time with Emma and the design team!

I sure hope you all enjoyed the sneaks and tomorrow starts the blog hop!

Today we are featuring the new stamp and die set, The Perfect Match! This is such an adorable set!!! It has many different sentiments for this awesome new die!

You can use this et various ways, either using the matches or filling it with some sweet little goody or making a tag with just the sentiment!

I was able to put a Peppermint Patty, bite sized ( I think that's what they called them on the package) inside this little matchbook! I added some hearts from the die set, 4x4 Journal Die + More.

Now for my cute little tag, I thought I would play with words a little more, some of the sentiments work perfectly for doing this! I used the circle/scallop tag from Holiday Tag. I masked off to stamp in pink and black to make them pop, then added a little twine. I thought a Blow Pop was so darn cute for this little project!

Again super simple and quick projects!

MCT ~ 61st Edition Sneak Peek Day 3

Good morning! Today kicks off day 3 of the My Creative Time 61st Edition with Emma and the design team.  We sure hope you have enjoyed the first few days of this release!

Today we will be showcasing the new die set, Thank You & Fame Dies. Now this sweet little set has one big die that fits on an A2 sized card, along with a "thanks" and a "thank you" die! What I love about this new set is that you truly only need these to make simple and quick "thank you" cards!

I decided to make my card the actual shape of this new die! I used the stamp set, You Are Spot On for my circles. I stamped the yellow circles first, then die cut the paper. I then stamped smaller circles in black because I wanted to place them perfectly. I decided to use the die "thanks" and placed it on vellum paper using a banner from Ribbon End Banners.

Super simple thank you card!

This cute little set has the sweetest firework and sentiment! I can see this firework being used for any type of celebration, including New Years Eve and 4th of July!! SO sweet!

I kept my card really simple! I white embossed the sentiment and image on a square from the Stitched Squares Inside & Out. The cute little cupcakes are from the Mini Lolly Add-Ons set.

MCT ~ 61st Edition Sneak Peek Day 1

Good Morning! Today starts Day 1 Sneak Peeks of the 61st Edition Release over at My Creative Time with Emma and the design team. Get ready for a week packed with amazing new products and some awesome creations from the designers!

Today we are featuring a new stamp and die set, Encouraging New Year. This set has one die that fits most of the sentiments. These sentiments are for New Years, new beginnings or hoping a better year if someone did not have the best year. Simply an awesome set for encouragement!

I thought I would make a tag that you could put around some champagne bottle for a New Years Eve party. I wanted to make it silver and gold, you know the song...

Make new friends but keep the old,

one is silver and the others gold...

You are quite welcome as this song stays in you head all day! LOL

I loved this sentiment from this set and thought I would heat emboss it with silver glitter embossing powder. My girl, which is also heat embossed with the same glitter, is from the set, You're My Lucky Charm. The numbers are Number Fun Dies + Add-Ons. The star is from, Stitched Button Dies, this is my go to set lately. The tag is made from Tag Dies and Tag Die Layers, another must have set!

Everything else is from my stash.

I used the new mini background stamp from this new set along with the darling little puppy!

MCT ~ What A Treat Wednesday

Good morning! Today is What A Treat Wednesday over at My Creative Time with Emma and the design team! I truly love these project days because it can be any type of treat holder or 3~D project.

So I know Halloween was 2 days ago but I thought I would share a simple treat/game I did for my son's class for their Halloween party.

I was inspired by a few projects I saw on Pinterest. Not one in particular, so I don't have a  link to share.

All you have to do is buy a poster board, I used a black foam one and drill as many holes as you need for each student. My husband used some woodboring drill bit that fit orange Solo cups. I cut out tissue paper that would fit around the cups and fastened the tissue paper with rubber bands. But before you cover the cups with the tissue paper, you need to number and decorate your tissue paper. I used the Number Fun Dies + Add Ons, so each cup was numbered. Then I simple used Spooky Time to dress them up just a tad more. As you can see I only need 21 cups. I stuffed each cup with candy and one lucky person ( #13) received something extra. Since I wanted to add a sign but was under time constraints, I simple printed what I wanted it to say and added some extra embellishments. I did use some clip art for my leaves and stem. All my numbers and embellishments were done in vinyl, makes things easier to adhere to the tissue paper and less mess! I filled in some of the spaces with extra tissue paper.
I had each student pick a folded piece of paper from an extra Solo cup that had a number on it. They went over and punched out the cup with the number they picked!

Something to think about for next Halloween. It does take a little time to assemble but super easy to do!
