MCT 114th New Release Sneak Day 1

Good Morning everyone and welcome to Day 1 of sneaks for the 114th New Release from MCT!!!

As you know Miss Emma LOVES this time of the year and she has done it again with this fun holiday release!!!

Today we are showcasing 2 new die sets... introducing the 

 ~ Cute Turkey Die 

~ Fall Leaf Dies

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

To make my card I started with a kraft cardstock base and added a layer of brown and designer paper die cut using the Rectangular Frame Die & Layers.

Next for that adorable turkey, I used scrap cardstock for all the pieces, inking the edges for some extra dimension and foam dots to pop up some on the pieces. I think he turned out so super CUTE!!!

For the sentiment, I used the Teeny Tag Holidays set, stamping it onto the pumpkin and popping the whole turkey die cut onto the front of my card.

Using the new Fall Leaf Dies, I added 2 behind the turkey for a cute background accent and 2 of the smaller leaves on the pumpkin for some more decoration. I did ink each of those die cuts as well.

Finally to finish my card I added some enamel dot accents.

Happy Thanksgiving w/Trendy Twine

Good Morning Everyone! 

It is my DT day over on the Trendy Twine Blog and I am excited to be able to share another project with you all using my featured twine color of the month~

Totally Chocolate along with the adorable 2x2 Kraft Boxes

Can you believe that it is almost Thanksgiving?? I thought I would make a project that can work for the dinner table. These 2X2 Kraft Boxes can be filled with candy and be a fun treat for your guests to take home with them.

To make my project, I started with a 2X2 Kraft Box and covered it with some beautiful designer paper from Recollections~Harvest Collections paper pack. Next using one of the panels (before it was attached to the box) I die cut a leaf using My Creative Time's A Thankful Heart set. I filled the leaf with the Totally Chocolate Trendy Twine then attached it to the box front.

I wanted to add a simple tag as well to by box, so I grabbed a Fun Stitched Tag Die , stamped my sentiment from the Fall Friends set and attached it all to the top of my box with more Totally Chocolate Trendy Twine.

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

The more I look at these the more they remind me of a pumpkin....LOL! 
Anyways I filled up some Medium Candy Bags with chocolate nuggets wrapped in designer paper. 6 fit in these bags perfectly.

Then for the tags I used My Creative Time's Holiday Tag Dies with the sentiment and leaf from A Thankful Heart. To attach my tags to the candy, I used the beautiful Harvest Orange Crinkle Ribbon from 3 Girl Jam in the Harvest Bundle.

Happy Thanksgiving....{MCT Designer's Challenge}

Good Morning everyone!

Today is an awesome day....for 2 reasons

~it is my BIRTHDAY :)

and it's time for another

~My Creative Time Designers Challenge Thursday!

For today's challenge we have 2 inspiration pictures for you. A gorgeous color combo/photo inspiration as well as a fun sketch!

Photo Credit

With Thanksgiving right around the corner, I used the picture inspiration with those beautiful fall colors and kinda incorporated the sketch (flipping it upside down)

to make this card......

To make this card, I started with a brown cardstock base and then die cut the middle size Stitched Rectangular Die so I could pop it up onto the front of the card base. Using my Versamark ink and the Grainy Wood Background stamp, I was able to add the beautiful texture look to the kraft cardstock.  Next I used some scrap designer paper and cut out a few of the leaves from the A Thankful Heart set. I also die cut 2 of the Stitched Leaves(using green cardstock to match the color combo in the pic) Placing those die cuts aside, I used some burlap from my stash to mimic the sketch (kinda...LOL) Next I layered the leaves onto the burlap, attaching them with my hot glue gun to ensure they stay put! I wrapped some hemp twine around the whole embellishment set and finished it off with a beautiful wood button.

Finally I stamped my sentiment, again using the A Thankful Heart Stamp and placed a few random enamel dots for some extra embellishing (plus I think I am addicted to using them...LOL)

My Creative Time Products Used:

Stitched Leaves Dies

Stitched Rectangular Frame Dies & More
A Thankful Heart Stamp Set

Grainy Wood Background Stamp

Other Products Used:

So there is my Designer Challenge inspiration. I hope you like my Thanksgiving card.

Thanksgiving Snack Mix {Trendy Twine}

Good Morning Everyone!
It is my DT day over on the Trendy Twine Blog!

Fall is in the air.....winter in some places :( but Thanksgiving is just around the corner so for my project today, I have a sweet treat idea to share that would surly make those little ones at the Thanksgiving dinner table VERY happy!

 I followed the current Trendy Twine Challenge going on right now.....

which is a

Fall Foliage Recipe:

Autumn or Thanksgiving Theme
Fall Foliage (Fall leaves, flowers, branches)

& 

Trendy Twine**

 and here is what I came up with.....

Yummy treat don't you think?? And what kiddo doesn't LOVE a homemade, filled with their favorite treat snack mix??

 (When I was gathering supplies for this one, my kiddos were over my shoulder sneaking in a handful...I had to chase them out of the kitchen or I wouldn't have enough left for my project..LOL)

The AWESOME thing about making your own snack mix is you can add whatever you have on hand, like in mine I added: chex cereal, m&m's, chocolate covered mini pretzels, yogurt covered raisins and some walnuts. I mixed it all up and poured it into one of the Biggie Candy Bags. I sealed the bag up and it was ready for the tag.

For the tag, I used My Creative Time Just Tags die as well as the leaf dies from the Piles of Smiles set. I die cut both in  brown and orange cardstock to match the Orange Truffle Trendy Twine . For the sentiment, I also used a My Creative Time stamp from the Just for You set. To attach it to the bag, I wrapped one of those ADORABLE Mini Wooden Scoops in some Orange Truffle Trendy Twine and tied it with a double bow. 

Trendy Twine Products Used:

Happy Thanksgiving!......{w/Trendy Twine}

Good Morning and Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!
I hope you all have a GREAT day with family and friend and eat WAY too fun yummy turkey...LOL
Every year my husband and I do the cooking and I just LOVE the way the house smells!
Good times, lots of laughs and yummy food....who could ask for more?

Now onto my card....a few of the Trendy Twine DT decided to do another group post sharing Thanksgiving projects~ so make sure you stop by the Trendy Twine blog to see the other projects.
Here is my simple but pretty adorable Thanksgiving card.....

I used a card base file from Lori Whitlock and added designer paper from The Paper Loft.
I did tie a simple bow of Orange Truffle Trendy Twine around the bottom of the card top and then knotted the ends.

For the image, I used a stamp from Inkadinkado that I have had in my stash forever! It has never been inked up and I am so glad I used it...how cute is it...right?

I did scan the image into my computer and then imported the scanned image to the Silhouette Studio. Once there, I did a trace of the image and then made an offset of the image at 0.075. Tada...now you have a perfectly shaped cut of the stamped image . I took it one step further and made another offset so I could add a colored mat to the back of the stamped image.

Once I cut the image out, I stamped it and then colored it using my copic markers and as well as adding some gold stickles to his hat and shoe buckles.

Here is another pic so you can see the dimension of the image as well as see the fun wave shape of the card base.  To finish my card I stamped my sentiment using Joy's Life Stamps~It's All Fall Puns.

Supplies Used:

Paper~ 

The Paper Loft~Funkysaurus

Kraft, Bazzill Brown

Stamps~ 

Joy's Life Stamps~It's All Fall Puns

Inkadinkado~ Halloween Mini Assortment

Cuts/Dies~

Thankful......{TKJ Challenge #148}

Good Morning and Happy Monday everyone!!!

It is time for a new challenge over at

 The Kraft Journal!

This week the challenge is:

So Thankful

~here is the Thanksgiving card I created~hope you like it~

I wanted to use this adorable image from Some Odd Girl for my card. 

Meet Indian Tia. 

Now my coloring of her is not nearly as good as the SOG DT and/or Kristy does, but she sure was fun to color! Using my copics and and some stickles for the sparkle, I colored her and then set her aside to assemble my card.  I started the card using a Brown Kraft Cover Weight Cardstock base and added layers of Graphic 45 designer paper from the Le Cirque paper pack. Once Indian Tia was dry, she was added it to another mat of the Brown Kraft Cover Weight Cardstock and more of the matching DP. To embellish my card, I added some Cream Twill Tape and just knotted it as well as placed some Custom Fasteners to the corners with some stickles to add more sparkle. For the sentiment, I used a speech bubble die from My Creative Time's Stitched Round Speech Bubbles set and a piece of the Canvas Triangle. Then using a sticker from the Chit Chat Seasonal Word pack I stuck it to the center of the speech bubble.

So there you have it....

my inspiration for this week's challenge.

I hope you have enjoyed my card and will play along with us!

As always I have linked all the supplies I used from The Kraft Outlet throughout my description.  If you have not checked out the store yet....make sure you do! There is so much available, the prices are so reasonable and shipping is super fast!!!

For My Turkey.......{Challenge Card}

Morning and Happy Hump Day!!!
I am back to share a card I made for a bunch of challenges....
This card has been a work in progress now since Sunday :( but I finally got it done and I am ready to share it. Hope you like it!!

What do you think??? Isn't that turkey so adorable???

So here is how I made my card..... I used the sketch from Bugaboo Stamps and the colors from this week's Cupcake Inspiration

Using my copic markers, I colored that adorable Turkey Pumpkin and die cut him out using the XL Stitched Label Die from MCT. I don't own the matching XL Label die (yet) so I made my own.

Next, following the sketch I added my layers of designer paper using the Echo Park~Recollections Fall 6x6 paper pad. I have to say that this is my favorite Fall paper! Soooooo super beautiful!!

After adding some machine stitching to the border and some burlap trim from my stash, I die cut the Teeny Tags layers from MCT and stamped the sentiment from Teeny Tag Holiday's, a new release from MCT and a must have!! I love all the fun added sentiments!

I also added some natural hemp cord and some brown Jute string and 2 MCT stitched leaves from the Piles of Smile stamp set.

Supplies Used:

Paper~ Bazzill Brown, White

Echo Park~Reflections Fall

Stamps~ Bugaboo Stamps~ Turkey Pumpkin

My Creative Time~Teeny Tag Holidays

Dies~ My Creative Time~Stitched XL Label Die

My Creative Time~Teeny Tag Die

My Creative Time~Stitched Leaf Dies

Embellishing~ Burlap, 

The Kraft Outlet~Natural Hemp Cord

Sparkly Sweet Craft Notions~Jute sting

So there you have it....my cute Thanksgiving card. I sure hope you have enjoyed it!
