MCT March release

Hello crafty friends! OMG let me tell you, this release from My Creative Time is awesome!! Absolutely LOVE it!

The release consists of 5 stamp sets which include a die, backgrounds, sentiments, icons... its gorgeous!

So here is my 1st project. Please check out more projects from Miss Emma herself along with her amazing design team!

Enjoy!!

So I saw in one of Emma's videos how to stamp the background onto the die. She made a 'mask' and taped it and then stamped. Well, I stamped my cup onto a piece of white contact paper, cut out the image and then stamped on the background. I figured this would stick to the paper as well as the surface around it so I could evenly stamp. It worked awesome!!  LOVE this set!

please head over to My Creative Time Here

to check out all the details for linking up YOUR project!

Happy Crafting!

Come again~

Hello friends! I finally had time today to create something for this challenge. Now I hope I didnt break the rules by using my heat tool...lol  I made champagne glass charms with Emma's stamps and dies using shrinky dinks.  I used the new Happy Hunting and Hello Spring, scallop and circle die. I colored with copic markers.  Enjoy!

I used PKS for both of these tags. Tim Holtz distress ink, Tim Holtz mini fastener (LOVE that), My Creative Time tiny tags, and some ribbon.

Happy Frigid Sunday!

Hello crafters! I've been trying to post on here for a while and this blogger didnt seem to be working. Lets give it a whirl.... So I spent a great Saturday playing with my kids, took them shopping, made a yummy dinner and did some crafting in between. Here is one project I made with Cricut vinyl and my cricut. Welded letters from Gypsy font, placed on the front glass of the frame and removed the cardboard from the back. Put a dot of hot glue in each corner before putting the glass back on and moved the fasteners again to 'seal' the glass in the frame. Waalaa!  I LOVE how this turned out. I made one for my parents with a different saying, of course. Maybe I'll post a pic of that one later. Enjoy!  Please leave comments. Love to hear from you!

please excuse the peeled paint. That would be the work of my children.lol

Hello Crafty friends! So I decided tonight to try Shrinky Dinks with my very favorite PKS dies and stamps. They came out sooo adorable! I figured I'll use them for ornaments on my little tree and drink charms. I used the following for a Christmas countdown calendar I have had for years. My kids lost the little bear that's supposed to be moved so I made a winter snow friend. Fits perfectly!! I'm going to try and start my Christmas cards asap. Hope to post a few. Have a wonderful evening all!!  Hope you enjoy

These little guys I put on name tags for workers. Little charms that add Christmas spirit. Just a little something. LOVE the way they turned out. I think I'll use the next batch for charms on ribbon for gift wrap.  Merry Christmas All!!







Thankful treats

Hello crafty friends! I have been a busy little crafter these past 2 days making things for my boys classes and teachers. Hope you enjoy! I had so much fun making them.

For these 2, I cut the tag from Wrap it Up at 3.5", The leaves were cut from I believe Create a Critter, various sizes. I inked up the leaves & tag with Tim Holtz distress inks. Wrapped a patterned paper around a plastic jar (I got from Michael's, they come in a pack of 3 for 9.99- of course used a 40% coupon). Filled with Hershey Nuggetts.

This is the top of the leaf jar

This turkey is cut from Create a Critter. He's so easy to layer!!  and of course I LOVE my PKS!  (critter faces ) I am still in search of a great white pen to color in those eyes. I have a Gelly Roll from PKS but the tip isnt too fine for the little edges.

These are the nuggetts I filled the jars with. I printed the sentiment on return address labels along with the turkey on clear labels! adhered to a strip of patterned paper cut at 1 x 3". Wrapped around the nugget and adhered with my ATG. My new favorite favors!  I did play around with other patterned paper for different occasions and heart paper looked so cute with the milk chocolate nuggets! Must be the silver paper

This tag is just a little acorn from Create a Critter. Ran it through my cuttlebug and inked it up a little. The tag is 3 x 3". Patterned paper to wrap the little box. It's laldybug push pins for my son's teacher. She LOVES ladybugs.

I hope you enjoyed my little creative frensy! Leave a comment, I'd love to hear from you! Happy Thanksgiving!!
