Happy Birthday pumpkin.....{MCT birthday palooza}

  Good Morning and welcome to another

My Creative Time Birthday Palooza post day!

Today I am sharing a fun shaker birthday card using some of the newly released MCT stamps and dies.

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

 To make my card I started with a kraft cardstock base, added a layer of white cardstock and a top layer of adorable pumpkin designer paper.

I used the new Pumpkin Treat Topper Die to make the shaker part of the card and filled the inside with some holiday orange sequin mixes.

I added the eyes to the top of the shaker pumpkin, the stem as well and those cute leaves from the Pumpkin Lollipop Holiday Die set.

For the sentiment, I used the Gift Card Greetings set for the banners and the "happy birthday" saying and grabbed the "pumpkin" for part of a sentiment from the Teeny Tag Holidays set.

I added both banners to the bottom of the pumpkin to complete my Fall/Holiday inspired birthday card.

I added a piece of acetate to the back on the white cardstock and then filled my shaker with some pretty silver and gold chunky glitter.
I sealed up the shaker with another piece of acetate and then popped the whole piece up onto the rainbow designer paper.
With the "spring" sentiment stamped onto the white cardstock my card needed just something little to finish it up.

LOVE...{Trendy Twine DT}

Good Morning!!

It is my DT day over on the Trendy Twine blog!

I have another Valentine's Day card to share using some featured products of the month

Raspberry Cupcake Trendy Twine & the Raspberry Cupcake Sequins 

I know I have said this before but shaker cards are so fun to make and people love getting an interactive card! Totally LOVING that the sequins are matching the twine colors as well!!!

Here is a close up of the shaker part. I did add some pink and white seed beads to my sequin mix for some extra bulk in my heart. It's a great way to fill up your shaker without using a ton of sequins...in my case because I LOVE to hoard them...LOL!

#I Love You....Trendy Twine DT Post

Good Morning everyone!

 I am up on the 

Trendy Twine Blog today sharing a shaker card using the featured twine color of the month

Raspberry Cupcake & the new matching Raspberry Cupcake Sequins!

To make my card, I started with a kraft cardstock base and designer paper from My Minds Eye die cut out using the Stitched Rectangular Frame Die . Next I grabbed the Be Your Best Selfie set and die cut the frame for my shaker. Before filling the frame with my Raspberry Cupcake Sequins and some white and pink seed beads, I stamped my sentiment. (trust me it is hard to stamp after filling the shaker...LOL!)

To embellish my card, I added a large heart using the Stitched Sweetheart & XOXO Die, a smaller heart from the Stitched Heart Layering Dies and a big Raspberry Cupcake Twine bow.

I hope you liked my card for today!!

Thanks so much for stopping by!!!

I will be back on Monday for the start of Release Week for My Creative Time! I am super excited to share all my projects!!

Have a GREAT day everyone!!

Happy New Year~ MCT Made in Minutes

Good Morning everyone!!! 

It is time for another My Creative Time~ Made in Minutes!

With Christmas over for 2015 :(

 I thought I would share a quick and easy 

New Years shaker card....

To make my card I grabbed a piece of MME~Fancy That designer paper that had the pretty gold "polka dots" already on the page. I thought it looked like confetti and perfect for a New Years card. Since we are ringing in 2016, I grabbed the number dies from the Stitched 4x6 Journal Die and die cut them into the designer paper. Next I stamped the sentiment using the Happy Everything set. Before filling my shaker, I did die cut the banner and stamp the "happy" sentiment using the Chocolate Greetings set and placed that aside until I was ready to assemble my card.  And like I start all of my cards, I did use the Stitched Rectangular Frame Die for the card mat.

Now moving onto the shaker part....I am kinda obsessed with using glitter in my shakers lately! I was able to grab some Christmas gold/silver chunky mix from Michaels on clearance that was perfect for my new years card. It is so fun to add to shakers that have small spaces and moves so freely without getting caught in the sides like sequins can.

To make the shaker part, I used one of the More Stitched Rectangular Dies and lined it up with the numbers so I could die cut it into some Fun Foam. I attached it to the back on the card, after covering the numbers with a piece of acetate. Next I poured some glitter into the rectangular space and then sealed it all up again with another piece of acetate. 

My card is all ready to be attached to the kraft cardstock base. One final step~ adding the sentiment banner to the front. I did that by taking the banner and tucking it inside the #2 to then lay across the rest of the numbers.

My card seems like it took longer to make than it actually did...maybe from start to finish 10 minutes?? 

It is a perfect card to mass produce and is sure to WOW anyone receiving it!

So there is my Made in Minutes card. Make sure to check out more inspiration over on the 

My Creative Time blog!

Thanks so much for stopping in and have a GREAT Monday!!

With Love on Christmas

Good Morning everyone!!

It is my DT day over on the Trendy Twine blog!

And I am sharing my final Christmas card of 2015.

Before I share my project I just want to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!It is so hard to believe that another year is almost in the books. It has been an awesome year for me and I hope it has been for you as well!

For my card, I wanted to make a mini shaker using the adorable tree die from MCT. In my travels to Michaels, I was able to pick up some chunky glitter in the Christmas section that I was just dying to use. It was kinda a mess to add to my shaker.....sequins would so much better (you can find them HERE) but the end result I think is very pretty.

After making my shaker and adding my sentiment, I used my featured twine color of the month~ Candy Cane Trendy Twine and made a bow to add to the base of my tree. The perfect extra embellishment to finish off my card!

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

Boo! MCT Flash Friday Blog Hop & Sale

Good Morning and Happy Friday everyone!!!!
Miss Emma has a special treat for everyone this weekend!! A SWEET sale (all the details are listed below) and a fun Mini Blog Hop showcasing this weekend's FREEBIE die

"Boo"
You should be coming from the very talented 
Emily 
if not you can always head on back to the
My Creative Time
blog to start hopping!

For my project I made a shaker card! I LOVE making them and I just can not get enough of that adorable Ghost stamp/die from the Too Cute to Spook set! To make my card I started out with a piece of orange cardstock for my card base then layered a piece of black topped with a white piece die cut using the largest Stitched Rectangular Frame Die. I wanted to add some color to white cardstock so I used some orange spritz and some black color shine. Just enough to get inky and to take away the white white of the cardstock.
Next using the ghost die, I die cut him into the center of my cardstock. I layered a piece of acetate to cover the cut out and filled him with some sequins. To seal him up, I backed him with a small piece of vellum. I couldn't help but add some more cute googly eyes.....(these were sitting on my desk left over from my last project that you can see HERE)

Using that oh so cutie "Boo" die, I cut him in some black cardstock as well as some fun foam so I could pop him up under my ghost. To flow with the rest of the card I colored the "boo" with my Wink of Stella for some extra shimmer and shine. To then finish my card off, I tied some Totally Orange Trendy Twine  around the top of my card and added another sentiment. The tag is from the Fun Stitched Tag Dies set and the sentiment is part of the Too Cute To Spook new release set

For my card today, I get to showcase the new set~ 

Fall Friends!

I used the Stitched Squares Inside and Out (new release) to make a square shaker card, this one unlike yesterday's mini cards seen HERE is a 4x4 size. I used the sweet pumpkin, leaves and acorn stamps and dies from the Fall Friends as the focal images for my card. Once I got the base of my card die cut out and all the layers assembled, I filled the center square with some orange, green and brown sequins..the color scheme for my fall card.

Next I die cut the pumpkin stamp and one of the acorns and colored them using my copic markers. They were then both popped up onto the front of my card using some foam adhesive.

Here is the close-up of the leaves and acorns placed in the top corner of my card. I die cut and colored these with my copic markers and embellished with a small hemp twine bow. Some random sequins on the card front and my fall card was completed. 

Now for all the fun stuff............
