MCT 49th New Release Sneak Day 2

Good Morning and welcome to Day 2 of sneaks for the 

49th New Release from My Creative Time!

What did you all think of yesterday's projects?? Pretty AMAZING right!!!

Today the DT is showcasing another super FUN set that I know you will all LOVE

Be Your Best Selfie

I couldn't help but use the cutie hashtag die and make a fun holiday gift. While I was out shopping the other day I ran into Bath & Body Works and saw the new holiday pocket hand sanitizers. One caught my eye....the cute #sELFie which I knew right away I had to have to match this new sentiment set. So I packaged it up in a clear pillow box (which by the way is the PERFECT size to hold these) and tied it all up with some Candy Cane Trendy Twine. Next I made a little tag to attach to my package. I used the Mini Chalkboard Tags and added the small pic die from the Picture Perfect set. For the mini ELF hat I took the santa hat die from the Classy Girl Accessories and die cut the pieces in green and red cardstock. Then to finish the tag up I used the hashtag die and die cut 3 different color cardstock pieces. I wanted the ELF part of the die to be a different color and really pop up on the tag.

You've been BOOed!....{MCT What a Treat Wednesday}

Good Morning everyone and welcome to another
My Creative Time's
What a Treat Wednesday!!

Halloween is getting closer so for my project today I made a fun treat that can me mass produced and given to anyone you want to "BOO"

To make my project I used one of the clear Pillow Boxes from Trendy Twine and filled it with some candy corn. To close up the box, I added some May Arts Black Chevron ribbon and tied it off on top with some Orangesicle Trendy Twine.

Using the newly released Holiday Tags stamp and die set from the last MCT release, I die cut the circle tags using white and black cardstock and then stamped my sentiment using the Fright Night stamp set. I love going through my older MCT stamps finding sentiments that I forget Miss Emma released :)
The tag was then tied onto the ribbon closure with a simple bow of the Orangesicle Trendy Twine.

America's Favorite Pastime! {Trendy Twine DT project}

Good Morning Everyone!

It is my day to post on the Trendy Twine blog and I am here to share another "Summer Night" project using the featured products of the month~

 Aqua Midnight along with the Clear Pillow Boxes

When I think of summer nights, I think of sitting outside watching America's Favorite Pastime~ Baseball!!! Since my son plays, we spend many of summer nights at the ball field and a wildly popular ball park snack are sunflower seeds. 

Using a Small Pillow Box, I filled it with a very generous serving of sunflower seeds. Next I wrapped the gorgeous Aqua Midnight Trendy Twine around the pillow box to keep it sealed extra good.

I added a cute heart tag, a matching mini clothes pin and held it all in place by tying the ends of my twine into a bow. I actually used 4 different My Creative Time stamps and dies for the tag. The Stitched Sweetheart & XOXO Dies was for the heart. Then for the sentiment and circle I used the Scallop & Stitched Circle die along with the Grand Slam stamp set. Finally for the baseball stamp and the circle die cut, I used again the Grand Slam stamp set and the smallest of the Bunch of Fun Circle Dies.

Here is what I used from Annie's Paper Boutique:

Date Night w/Trendy Twine

Good Morning Everyone!

It is my DT day over on the Trendy Twine Blog to share a sweet "Summer Night" project using the featured products of the month~

Aqua Midnight along with the Clear Pillow Boxes

When I think of Summer Nights, I think bonfires, smores and of course the Drive-In! For my project today, I got to play with the Small Pillow Box and made a sweet treat to snack on while at the movies!

I started by filling my pillow box with some white M&M's. Next I wrapped some if the beautiful Aqua Midnight Trendy Twine around the pillow box and tied it with a simple box.

For my embellishment, I used the Photobooth Stitched Die from My Creative Time and filled it with a backing of white cardstock. Next I stamped some stars in Audrey Blue(which happens to be almost an EXACT match to the Aqua in the twine) using the My Little Firecracker set. Then for the sentiment, I used another My Creative Time set~Bracket Sentiments and stamped it into the center opening of my filmstrip.

I curved the filmstrip and popped it up onto the pillow box using some foam adhesive.

Happy Halloween Pillow Boxes.....{Teacher's Gifts}

Good Morning and Happy Thursday!

We are one more day closer to Friday and the weekend!!

Yippeeee!!!

I have be busy making Halloween treats for my youngest son's class as well as Teacher's treats for both of them to hand out.

I have one set of Teacher treats to share with you all today...

I LOVE making pillow boxes! LOVE the different ways you can decorate them and LOVE all the fun treats that can be put inside them!

I made a set of 6 using some new stamps and dies I just got from My Creative Time...

here they are, hope you like them!!!

I used a pillow box cut from the Silhouette Store and sized it in my studio to fit a piece of 6x6 designer paper. The paper I used is all from The Spooky Time Stack from DCVW. Once I had all the boxes cut out, I moved them aside to work on the rosettes.

 

Those gorgeous rosettes are from the new release over at 

My Creative Time~Scalloped Stitched Rosette Dies and I cut them using some black card stock from my stash. After assembling all the rosettes, I used the new stamp set~ All Around Holidays for the sentiment as well as the pumpkin die from that same set.

To finish these off, I used some ribbon that I had in my HUGE pile of ribbon that has been neglected...LOL, tied a big bow to the top and hot glued the rosette to the front. All this after filling the pillow boxes with some chocolates :)

So there they are...Didn't they turn out adorable???

So happy to say one classroom of treats are done...Now to make teacher treats for my older son and I am done with my Halloween goodies!

That is all I have for you today. Thanks so much for stopping by to say hello and have a GREAT day!

 Valentine's day projects, 

so for my project I made some pillow boxes that will be going to my son's classroom for their Valentine's Day party.

I used the color combo from this weeks

The Play Date Cafe

and came up with these.....

My son is having a Valentine's Day Party and wanted cute but not cheesy saying treats to hand out :)

I think this about covers it...don't you??

I ended up making 16 total...4 of each design.

They were very easy to assemble and embellish...especially for a bunch of 6th graders who are just going to throw them out after they get the candy that is inside!!

Valentine's Pillow Box

Hi Everyone!!
I wanted to pop in and share a Valentine's Day Pillow box I made to enter into a few challenges.
I have never played in the Make it Monday challenge w/PTI and while reading my email and checking out the new challenge I thought I would give it a try. 
I LOVE my PTI cardstock so I used some Sweet Blush for the base of my pillow box.
I do not own PTI's pillow box die but I was able to use my Cameo and cut one out :)
The challenge, besides making a pillow box was to do stamping on it so with My Creative Time's~Coffee Break Stamp set and Tim Holtz Spun Sugar Distress Ink...I stamped the entire pillow box with the polka dots background.
Not only do I love the extra it gives to the pillow box...it also matches my digi's dress :)

 The super adorable digi is from By Lori Designs~Sweetheart Valentine - Four (Puddle Jumpers Ella).
I was lucky enough to win a FB contest and the prize was the adorable Sweetheart Valentines Bundle~ 4 Super adorable images.
I colored her with my copic markers, die cut her out using my FAVORITE tag die from PTI and attaching her to my pillow box with a Black Organdy Ribbon.
Not much in the way of embellishments...I wanted to keep it simpler to really showcase the cute digi and the great texture on the pillow box.
This will make for a great treat in the hub's lunch :)

So I hope you have enjoyed my project!
Thanks so much for stopping by
and have a GREAT night!!!
