MCT ~ "Try Me Tuesday"

Happy Tuesday! Welcome to another "new" segment over at My Creative Time, called "Try Me Tuesday". Every other Tuesday we'll be sharing a different technique. Hopefully there will be something new for you to try in addition to techniques you may already have mastered. This week, we are sharing dry embossing. If you are anything like me, I have tons of embossing folders that I always forget to use but then I see someone use one and then it reminds me about them! LOL!

For my card today I of course used some old and new My Creative Time products and my Hugs & Kisses embossing folder from Provo Craft. I thought it was PERFECT for the new Stitched Sweetheart & XOXO Dies that was in Emma's last release! As always I will list my materials below. Simple right. I like when we get challenged to use something that maybe we have forgotten about.

Materials Used:

Stitched Sweetheart & XOXO Dies

What a View Die

Puffy Hearts Just For You

You're So Cool ( little heart in the view die)

Provo Craft Hugs & Kisses embossing folder

May Arts Ribbon

Paper ~ PTI

Ink ~ Archival & SU

Sakura pen

Well that is it for me today! Head on over to see the other designers creations! Click here.

Have a great day and stay warm!!!

MCT ~ "Made In Minutes" Monday

Good morning! I hope you all are staying warm and healthy! I know we had some snow and are getting ready for the next round of frigid temperatures...brrrrrr!

So today starts a "new" little segment over at My Creative Time, called "Made In Minutes" Emma would like us ladies to create something in under 30 minutes from start to finish. Well when I read this I about panicked! I thought how in the world am I going to do this! Well guess what ~ I did it and totally LOVED doing it! What a fun idea and I am going to challenge myself more often!

For my card  I wanted to keep it CAS ( clean and simple). I am challenging myself this year to attempt at creating more CAS cards and since it was my first time under a timer, I thought why not! I looked around at all the My Creative Time goodies and thought I need to use this cute little phone more often. Any way, I need to send a friend of mine a card and thought this would be a simple but to the point card! I LOVE the white on white with the hint of red. What do you think?

Here is my time! How about my son is the one who showed me I had this on my phone ~ he is 8 and so much smarter than me! LOL!

Materials Used

4x4 Journal Die + More

Square Stitched Goody Dies

Stitched Sweetheart & XOXO Dies

Fun Paper Airplane Die

You are Here

Lots of Love

Head on over to Emma's blog and see all the design team creations! Have a great day!

MCT ~ Tag it Tuesday

Good morning! Today is first Tag It Tuesday of 2014 over at My Creative Time with Emma and the design team! We get to create any type of tag our little hearts desire.

So I thought I would make a birthday tag filled with some awesome products that Emma just release in the past few months. I really like mixing and matching her old stamps and dies with her new ones.

I thought I would take one of the Tag Dies and the new Stitched Gift Card Pocket Die and see what I came up with! I think one of my design team sisters did this but to be honest I can't remember! Gosh I can barely remember what I had for dinner the night before, so I apologize if I am not giving credit. I wanted to use this new burlap paper from DCWV, that my sweet enabler friend Katie told me about. Trust me she in NOT my only enabler out there ~ you all know who you are and the list is too long to call you all out right now! LOL!  I was so excited that Emma's die took to this very think paper because it has a paper backing to it. LOVE how this die looks made out of burlap! I did hot glue it together. My background for my tag is from the stamp set Get Schooled. This set comes with 3 awesome stamps that could be used for a variety of different projects. I will list the rest of my products I used below.

Materials Used

Tag Dies

Stitched Gift Card Pocket Die

Stitched Oval Die

Stitched Round Arrow & Tag Dies

Puffy Hearts Just For You

Plane & Simple

Get Schooled

Postcard Add-Ons

Paper ~ PTI and DCWV

Ink ~ Stampin Up, Archival and Tim Holtz

It's day #3 of the My Creative Time January Sneak Peeks. I have to say my "heart" was a pumping from yesterdays project that Emma and the design team made! Today ~ lets just say you will be
"flying high" with inspiration!

Today we will be using the stamp sets "Once Upon a Time", "Plane & Simple" and the "Fun Paper Airplane Die" . I happened to use all three of these on one little tag.

So for today's project, I wanted to make something rather quick and fast. I thought I would make a little note to put in my husbands lunch... just to say I LOVE you! I ADORE this little set and so happy Emma is giving this away as a "freebie"! It is so darn ADORABLE!!! Plus the stamp is just PERFECT for so many other MCT products!

 At first I took the "Tag Dies" and was going to make a card but the more and more I looked at it I thought why not make it like a pocket slider card. Not sure that makes sense ~ LOL! I adhered all the sides but left the right side open so I could slide the cute little tag from "Stitched Round Tab, Arrow & Tag Dies", out.  Added some other FABULOUS MCT products and done! Very "Plane & Simple"  ( so fun  to play on words) but I love how it turned out!

Materials Used:

Once Upon a Time

Fun Paper Airplane Die

Plane & Simple

Puffy Hearts Just For You

Stitched Sweetheart & XOXO Dies

Stitched Round Tab, Arrow & Tag Dies

Tag Dies

Stitched Cartoon Cloud Dies

Cartoon Cloud Background

Paper ~ PTI and Recollections

Ink ~ Archival, Hero Arts, Memories and Stampin Up

Ribbon ~ Stampin Up and PTI

Again just wanted to say THANK YOU for always being so kind with your comments and encouraging words!

Hello and welcome to day #2 of the My Creative Time 29th Release! Well if you thought yesterday was AMAZING wait until today! I know I always say this but Emma just blew my mind with this release! Today the design team will be featuring "Puffy Hearts For You" , "Stitched Sweethearts & XOXO" and the "Mini Stitch Envie" .  All I can say is I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE these!! I think I kept you all too long yesterday so today I want to keep this post brief.

I made a totally different card for today but when I was literally crawling into to bed I thought of this idea! So at first you are probably thinking ~ this is so boring! The front is very basic but just wait...

Then BAM! I LOVED how this turned out! 

Here is one more picture so you can sort of see how the card actually works.

 I LOVE that Emma has new dies that not only die cut with stitching but leave her signature stitching around the edge. I die cut this heart thru the white and red card stock. I used the actual white heart to use as my template. I used the Scallop & Stitched Circle die with some red tissue paper to make the puffy heart! I was so fun to create plus it goes perfectly with the new sentiment! 

Materials Used:

Puffy Hearts Just For You

Stitched Sweetheart & XOXO Dies

Fun Stitched Edges

Scallop & Stitched Circle

Stitched Journal Die

Paper ~ PTI

Ink ~ Archival
