My Creative Time ~ 3~D Wednesday

Happy Hump Day! Do you know what today is ~ it's 3~D Wednesday over at My Creative Time with Emma and the design team! I LOVE Wednesday's not only because we are half way thru the week but I LOVE making 3~D projects!

 

For my project this week I decided to make a fun treat for my son! He has a list of movies he wants to watch, so I thought it would be fun for us to have a movie night with all the fixings ~ aka popcorn and tons of candy! I thought I would get some candy that you would get at the movie theater and put it in this $1 container I bought some time ago at Target! This little project only cost less than $4! Fun right!

 

I used the "Treat Slider Box" for my base of my tag! Remember this is a PRE~ORDER item and can be used for a ton of things ~ a must have die ! I die cut it out on thin chipboard and covered it with some fun movie paper!  Might be a little hard to see but trust me it is movie related and so fun. This paper is Teresa Collins ~ Memories ~ that I purchased from Liz's Paper Loft Boutique. She has so many wonderful items in her store!  I used the Slumber Party cartridge for my popcorn(inked with SU ink) then used Emma's "Lower Case Fun Dies" for my letters. The "Fun Tickets" and "Stitched Fun Ticket Dies" are clear heat embossed! I just LOVE these tickets! But behind this I thought the "Stitched Postage Frame Die" was fun to add because ~ well it's a frame! LOL!  All other paper used is actually scraps and so was my ribbon ~ must have been a mishap at one point but it worked out perfect for my project today!

 

 

That is it for me today! Head on over to Emma's blog, My Creative Time, and see what all those talented ladies have in store for you all!

 

Peachy Keen Challenge 13::13 3~D Objects ~ Oh Baby!!

Hello! I hope you all had a wonderful Easter! I know we did! Well this week Peachy Keen is having their weekly challenge! This week we were asked to do a 3~D project ~ which I LOVE to do~ and it's ALL about babies! I must say this couldn't have happened at a more PERFECT time! One of my sweet friends just had a little baby boy arrive into her life and her heart!

So I dusted off my Cricut and pulled out my Tags, Bags, Boxes & More 2 cartridge. There is this cut on there called "playing card box" and I thought this could be cute to roll some wash cloths up and put them in! I made it as big as I could so I could fit 3 wash cloths in it. I also used the cartridge Everyday Paper Dolls for my baby and the crib. Gave my Cricut a little work out! I did cut out the crib twice to off set it and give it a little dimension! Not sure I accomplished that look or not?? My baby's face is from the stamp set "PK~180 Erkle and Merkle" stamp set. I thought those big eyes were so CUTE & HAPPY for a little baby!  I will list the rest of the materials below!

Today I have decided to make mine a "Congratulations Baby" card! I have a friend who just had a baby boy come into her life and she is over the moon about him! I wanted to keep this clean and simple! Just using baby blue and white with a hint of color. I heat embossed my little bear on the card stock, the heart, my little tag and my pattern paper. Let me say this was NO easy task. Trying to get the layers down perfect almost pushed me over the edge. I finally, after many attempts, was pleased with the final out come. All of my sentiments and dies are from My Creative Time ~ which I will list below the picture. After yesterdays long post I will spare you all today! LOL!

My Creative Time ~ 3~D Wednesday

Good morning! Welcome to My Creative Time ~ 3~D Wednesday! This has to be one of my FAVORITE days! I just LoVe making 3~D items! They come in handy for so many wonderful occasions! Emma has the CUTEST and BEST dies out there for this too!

 

 I seriously did NOT realize how FAST Easter is approaching us! WOW! I honestly don't care for it being this early because I feel there isn't enough nice weather here in PA for it! We just have had yet another blast of snow too! YUCK!

 

With all this said I needed to come up with some quick and fast ideas for my son's Easter basket. The Easter bunny still brings him stuff but I also like to put a few things in from my his parents! Emma has so many fun treat dies that are very quick & easy to assemble. I knew they would be PERFECT for just this! I will list under each picture the materials used ~ WARNING ~ PICTURE heavy!

 

 

 

 

All my treats together! Sorry these are lying down but this was taken the day before our last snow and it was so windy here! Poor little things kept blowing everywhere! LOL!

 

 

Who knew a pack of Bubble Yum gum fits perfectly in the "Treat Slider Box" ! This is a "PRE~ORDER" item. I used the wrapper dies for my sentiment! Another GREAT reason to get this die! My sentiment and image come from the stamp set "Happy Hunting" . The bunny image fits so great on the "Just Tags" dies too! My ribbon is from Liz's Paper Loft Boutique . The paper is EP ~ Hello Summer. My ink is Stampin Up ~ clear embossed.

 

 

For this little project I used the "Stitched Lollipop Holder" . I decided to put the "Stitched & Scalloped Circle" at the bottom of this because I wanted to use ribbon from Liz's Paper Loft Boutique to tie my lollipop ~ plus it goes with papers. My sentiment is from the stamp set "Happy Hunting" and the cute little bunny is from "Hello Spring" . I did clear emboss both of them. My paper is from EP ~ Hello Summer. Ink is Archival.

 

 

Okay this little treat might be my favorite one ~ because of the colors and dies ~love the egg and bunny dies so much! I used the "Bubblegum Treat Box" . I put foil wrapped eggs in this one for my son! The eggs and egg design( circles) are from the stamp set "Hello Spring" . The sentiment and bunny is from "To My Best Peep" . I actually used white paper for the die cut bunny and inked it up with Archival ink. My ribbon is from Liz's Paper Loft Boutique . The paper is EP ~ Hello Summer.  Clear heat embossed these too.

 

 

Now this one might be my FAVORITE because I LOVE the little details! I decided to used the "Bubble Gum Treat Box" again but with a twist. I die cut the whole thing out in orange paper then die cut the top portion of it in green! Does it look like a carrot?? I just adhered the green paper to the orange paper at the top. Then I took my Martha Stewart fence punch that had bats on it ~ snipped those babies right off. My bunny and sentiment is from "To My Best Peep" . I made my sign using the "Chunky Jar Accessories" and a stick lying around my craft space. I used UTEE for my bunny and again clear embossed my sentiment. The jute, burlap and bunny tail is from Liz's Paper Loft Boutique. My paper again is EP ~ Hello Summer.

 

 

Well that is it for me today! I know that was a very long post ~ sorry but wanted to make sure you got all the details. Now head on over to Emma's blog and see what she and the rest of the creative design team has in store for you all!

 

Also don't forget the Designer Challenge is still going on too! Click here for all the details. I will be back tomorrow for "Thoughtful Thursday"!

 

 

 

 

Peachy Keen Challenge 13:2 ~ Sketch Challenge

Good morning! This week Peachy Keen is having a sketch challenge. All you have to do is follow the sketch ~ easy right! This post is going to have to be very brief ~ the stomach virus has attacked my men ~ big and little ~ so I seem to being runny around catering to their needs!

 

So I decided to pull out the stamp set "PK ~ 264 Easter Egg Words and Bunnies" . There are so many CUTE images on this stamp set. So I colored the image with my Copics and added some stickles to my little egg. I pulled out my Spellbinders to attach my image on, then added some bling from Kaiser Crafts. My little tags in the top left hand corner are from My Creative Time "Chocolate Greetings" stamp set. My sentiment is from My Creative Time "Happy Hunting" and the tag I used if from "Vintage Stitched Label Dies" . I did heat emboss my sentiment ~ I find that clear embossing gives such a crisp look that I like. My little flower is from "Rolled Flower Dies" . My ribbon is something from my stash and all my paper is from Paper Trey Ink.

 

 

 

 

I think that is all for today from me! I will be back tomorrow for 3~D Wednesday over at My Creative Time !

My Creative Time ~ Designer Challenge

 

Good morning! This is Kim here. I am so excited to be hosting this Designer Challenge for My Creative Time! Emma is so sweet to allow us DT's to take over her blog! Thanks Emma!

 

So for this time around I have decided to do a Tic~Tac~Toe Challenge! All you have to do is pick a row from the chart below (vertical, horizontal or diagonal) and incorporate those three items on your project! You are free to use anything in addition, just be sure the three items in the row you chose is included! I would also like to give a shout out & big thanks to Miss Shar ~ she made the chart in word for me!

 

So I looked at my choices from the chart and decided to do the first horizontal row. I of course used my FAVORITE dies (and stamps) out there ~ My Creative Time. They can be used for so many different projects, plus they have Emma's signature stitching!

 

 

I decided to dry and heat emboss on my card. I used a Cuttlebug folder for my dry emboss and inked it up with some chalk. Then I heat embossed the little house and wagon. The house is from the stamp set "Home Sewn" and my wagon is from "Piles Of Smile" . I decided to emboss the wheels & the handle in black and my wagon in brown. I know it is hard to see from the picture.  For my bling part I used the CUTE little heart button from "Stitched Button Dies" and added some glitter.

 

 

After I finished my card I realized I actually did the first horizontal row,  first vertical row and both ways of the diagonal rows! You do NOT have to do that but I tend to add everything but the kitchen sink to my cards. I just LOVE using my MCT products.

 

My pattern papers are from the Teresa Collins paper "Far and Away". I used some thin hemp for my heart /button.  These 2 items can be purchased at Liz's Paper Loft Boutique. The stitched hearts that are in my wagon from "100% Sweetness" . If you look real close, the gray heart has the "Script Background" stamp on it.  I used the "XL Label Die" and the "Stitched XL Label Die" as well. My sentiment is from "Home Sewn" and stamped on the  die from the "Chocolate Greeting" die. I wanted to layer that with the "Stitched Vintage Label Dies" ~ I just cut off the one end. They fit PERFECTLY together! As for my stitching I used the stitching stamp from the  "Gift Card Sentiments" .

 I also used paper and ribbon from PTI.

 

A real fun and easy challenge for you to join in right? We would LOVE to see what you all create for this Designer Challenge ~ Tic~Tac~Toe! Now for rest of the creative and talented design team!

Peachy Keen Challenge ~ 13::11 Anything Goes

Good evening! I am running very behind this week and almost forgot to enter this weeks challenge over at Peachy Keen Stamps!  This week it is anything goes! So since Easter is right around the corner I decided to make an Easter card. Something real simple and can be mass produced very quickly ~ well okay not quickly but simple!

 

I pulled out my FAVORITE Peachy background stamp ~ at the moment ~ "Lattice Background" to heat emboss my frame. Then I used a spellbinder to cut out my window. I then used the "Crunchin' Carrot Bunny" ~ he is so stinking CUTE! Colored very little with some Copics. I then decided to pop dot my frame so I could tie a little bow to the side! My sentiment and tag die is from My Creative Time's,  "To My Best Peep" and "Chunky Jar Accessories" .  All paper is from Paper Trey Ink and my ribbon is from May Arts.

 

 

 

See something really simple but can be easily mass produced! Sorry for the short post but I need to get my dinner dishes done! LOL! See you all back tomorrow for My Creative Time ~ Designer Challenge! I am hosting this time around ~ so excited!
