Wish Big!...{MCT Birthday Palooza}

Good Morning and welcome to another

My Creative Time Birthday Palooza post day!

Today I am sharing a fun birthday card/gift card holder project that is perfect for alittle birthday celebration.

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

I just LOVE the Mailbox Gift Card Holder Die to make a gift card/card for any holiday gift. So much so that I have used it to make several different projects since Miss Emma released it! (You can see my other projects using this die HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, & HERE )
For my project today I used the Mailbox Gift Card Holder Die to make a flip top opening card where my birthday message can be written inside and added the mailbox details to the front of the card to hold my birthday giftcard. 
To make my project I used kraft cardstock for the base and added designer paper from My Minds Eye~ Lime Twist for the layers.
The sentiment, along with the birthday candle are from the Make A Wish set which unfortunitely is currently out of stock~ im sorry :(
For alittle extra birthday details, I did add a natural hemp bow around the candle which is popped up onto the front of the card too.
This card, which is along the masculine side can be make using the same design but just switching up the cardstock pattern paper to make it more girly. It was very easy to make and assemble which is something I just LOVE about this die as well!!

So there is my completed card. I hope you like it!!
As always, thanks for stopping by my blog!
Make sure to check out what the rest of the DT made over on the
My Creative Time blog.

Make a Wish!....{MCT Birthday Palooza}

Good Morning everyone and welcome to another My Creative Time DT post :)

Today we are sharing "Birthday Palooza" projects!!

You can never have to many birthday cards on hand, right?!?!

I made this card (probably) to give to my son who turns 18th in less than a month!

Take a look and let me know what you think...

Birthday cards are so fun to make and even more fun to give. I kept this card on the simpler side since it is for an 18 year old :)

Even though I made this for my son, I went with bright colored candles in a rainbow pattern using the Make a Wish set. Once I die cut each of the candles and flames, I added some wink of stella glitter for some extra sparkle on the flames.

I popped the candles up onto a piece of designer paper that I die cut using the Stitched Rectangular Frame Die. Once attached, I threaded some Totally White Trendy Twine behind the candles to tie into a bow.

The sentiment, stamped from the Light the Candles set was then added below the candles.

Such a colorful birthday card! I love it!!

Thanks so much for stopping by today and have a GREAT Tuesday!

IF you are in the path of this COLD and snowy weather, please stay warm and safe. We are and they are calling for up to 2 feet of snow in some areas and bitter cold wind chills.

My boys are hoping for a snow day or two..LOL!

Happy Birthday....{MCT Manly Monday}

Good Morning Everyone!

I hope you all had a great weekend!!!

I am back with a card for My Creative Time's

Manly Monday post!

My son's birthday is tomorrow... he will be 17! OMG I can not believe it!

Time is flying so fast and I just want it all to slow down! We are already starting to plan for college! I am so proud of him and all of his accomplishments~ he is a hard worker and does very well in school, football and his community activities. 

Enough of me bragging...LOL! I made a CAS card to give to him celebrating his birthday.

Manly cards are always a challenge so I kept this one very simple.

Take a look and let me know what you think...

CAS right? I used a kraft cardstock base and added a layer of white cardstock that I die cut using the largest of the Stitched Rectangular Frame Dies.
I stamped the sentiment, from the Make a Wish set onto the white mat using my MISTI to center it where I wanted.
Next using the Sentiment Label Dies, I die cut 4 banners. I arranged the banner onto the mat for a reference as to where I wanted them and then cut them in half. I did cut them all different lengths so when I taped them onto my card they did not line up exactly the same on the tops.
Once they were cut, I taped them above and below the sentiment making the sentiment the focal point.
To finish off my card, I added some thicker hemp twine around the top and bottom of the sentiment, hiding the cut marks from the banners and adding a manly border around the sentiment.
A simple bow tied off the hemp ribbon and completed my card.

I hope you like my CAS birthday card!

You are not going to want to miss a thing! 

For my project today, I get to showcase this releases  set~

Make a Wish

a must have stamp/die set for all those birthday celebrations!!

I went with another CAS card design for this birthday card....I figured this would be a great card to grab for those last minute birthday parties.
I used the Make a Wish set for the sentiment and the candle and paired it up with the little postage stamp die.
I started this card by heat embossing the sentiment onto my blue cardstock. Next I took the candle die and cut it out using some pretty polka dot designer paper. I wanted to use those postage stamp dies so I took the candle die cut and separated it so each piece would fit onto the postage stamp.
For the wick of the candle I used a small piece of hemp twine and popped up each piece using some foam squares.
The finishing touches for my card included some yellow sequins and glossy accents on the flame.

55th New Release from 

My Creative Time!

This week is flying by and I am hoping that you are all just LOVING this new release as much as the DT is!! 

Today's new stamp/die set is:

MAKE A WISH

For my project today I got a jump start for my son's 13th birthday by making him his card and a matching gift bag.

I used some designer paper from MME~Boy Crazy and kept the design of my card focused to the center of the card.

I used one of the new candle dies, some matching designer paper and added the flame a different color. The candle was then popped up onto the front of my card using some foam squares. 

I stamped the sentiment..also from the new Make a Wish set under my candle and further embellished simply with a hemp bow, some enamel dots and glossy accents on the flame.

The matching gift bag was done using the same designer paper and the totally AWESOME gift bag die.

I added a different sentiment for this one as well as a smaller candle die cut. 

So super fun and perfect for holding a gift card and some candy!!
