Espressily for You....{MCT Made in Minutes}

Good Morning everyone!

I am up on the MCT Blog today with a Made in Minutes project to share!

This project was so fast to make, super cute and is super easy to reproduce. I ended up making 3 for a friend to give to her daughters teachers :)

Take a look at my project and let me know what you think...

I apologize now, and didn't realize when I was making these GC holders that the Coffee Gift Card Holder die is currently out of stock :( Hopefully Miss Emma will get more in before the holidays because these are so easy to whip up to give GC's in.

To make my project I used the Coffee Gift Card Holder die for the base, turning these into a card as well for writing a little message inside, die cut in kraft cardstock.

My friend asked for a teacher theme for these so I grabbed some designer paper to match her idea for the layer of the GC tops. 

The rest of the pieces were die cut using white, black and red cardstock as assembled onto the GC base.

For the sentiment, I used a saying from the Just Brew It! set. That set is retired unfortunetly but it worked for what she wanted.

I finished off the GC's with some enamel dots in the corners and these are ready to be given as gifts.

Espressily for you!...{MCT Birthday Palooza}

 Good Morning and welcome to another

My Creative Time Birthday Palooza post day!

Today I am sharing a fun birthday card using some of the older MCT stamps and dies along with the new Torn Paper Frame Layers and Torn Paper Frames :)

Take a look at my project and let me know what you think....

For my card today I made a shaker, something I haven't made in a LONG time and forgot how fun these interactive cards are. I made this one for my son's girlfriends birthday this coming weekend to add to her coffee themed birthday gift. I sure hope she loves it!

Anyways to make my card I started with a black cardstock base and then using the Just Brew It set I stamped the coffee cups randomly onto a piece of white cardstock. Using my copic markers I colored in the sleeves to each cup and die cut the whole finished piece using the newly released Torn Paper Frame Layers. I also used a smaller die from the same set to make my window.

Inside the window and for the shaker part, I added colored sequins in a pretty pale pink, black and pale green, sealing the window up with some acetate sheets.

I popped the shaker up onto the card base, adding a matching colored twine bow around the top.

For the sentiment, I used again both the Torn Paper Frame and Layers sets and stamp from Just Brew It which was added to the card front.

I stamped and colored one more coffee cup and die cut that so I could add it to the center of the window, adding additional details to the cup with the cute sentiment and die cut in a pale green.

Some finishing touches of random sequins finished my card!

Little Gift Tag Dies & Newspaper BackgroundTake a look at my project and let me know what you think..

To make my card I used a kraft cardstock base, added a layer of white cardstock and layered that with the new Rectangular Frame Die Layer in green.
For the next layer, I used the smaller sized Rectantagular Frame Die Layer and stamped the new Newspaper Background onto it making for a nice printed image.
For the sentiment and the adorable image, I used the Just Brew It! set, die cutting the image and coloring it with my copics. The sentiment was stamped onto the new Little Gift Tag Dies that I punched a hole into to string some green hemp twine.

Happy Pumpkin Spice Season....{MCT Weird Holiday}

Good Morning everyone and welcome to another
Weird Holiday post for My Creative Time.

For my holiday I chose International Coffee Day which was actually celebrated yesterday October 1st.

The unofficial holiday celebrates one of the most popular beverages in the world - coffee. 

Take a look at my card celebrating this holiday...

Fall is my favorite time of the year and with the cooler weather comes PUMPKINS! I just LOVE pumpkin spice coffee so my card was focused around that yummy beverage!
To make my card, I pulled out my copic markers and made a pumpkin background coloring all the pumpkins in a two tone orange color.
I layered the Scalloped Stitched Circles in white and kraft cardstock for my focal point and added my sentiment and that adorable mini coffee cup.
To embellish my card, I used the newly released leaves from the pumpkin lollipop and cute pumpkin tag sets and added them around the scalloped stitched circles
Some Nuvo enamel dots completed my card.

My Creative Time Supplies Used:
Stitched Rectangular Frame Die
Just Brew It
Scalloped Stitched Circles
Gobble Gobble
Cute Pumpkin Tag Die
Pumpkin Lollipop Holder Die

Good morning and welcome to another
MCT Weird Holiday post.
My weird holiday is actually not so weird..LOL
on May 6th it is National Beverage Day
Curious about what exactly this holiday is all about~ 

 you can read all the details about the day HERE
So of course I love a good cup of coffee in the morning so my card is focused around that...
Take a look and let me know what you think~

I went CAS with my card using the color combo kraft pink and white.
Everything for my card was made using the adorable set~Just Brew It
I stamped the background with both the large and small coffee beans and versamark ink.

The coffee cup was stamped onto white cardstock and then die cut. I did add some pink chalk to the cheeks as well. She was then popped up onto the front of the card.
The sentiment was stamped under the adorable cup and then to finish up my card I added some pink hearts and some pink and kraft twine.

I hope you have enjoyed my card! As always I appreciate you stopping by!

Good Morning everyone!!!
It is Day 2 of sneaks for the
73rd New Release from My Creative Time!

OMG wait until you see today's sneaks and projects...you are going to FLIP!

Introducing....

Just Brew It!

Ok so I am totally LOVING this set and my card....take a look and let me know what you think!

Are those little latte cups not the CUTEST EVER!!!! I just had to use that adorable sentiment and pair it up with a double dose of those die cut cups!!!
I started my card out with a Stitched Rectangular Frame Die card mat of designer paper from DoodleBug Designs~Here Comes Santa Claus.
Next I die cut the cups in kraft, white and matching designer paper so I could paper piece each one. One cup did get the cute new stamped face where I placed a die cut heart on the other one! They were both popped up onto the front of the card just above my stamped sentiment.
The finishing touch for this card was 2 more matching die cut hearts!
LOVE this card!!!
