MCT March Release Blog Hop ~ blooming birthday!

Hey Hey Hey it's blog hop day for My Creative Time's March Release!  Didn't you just love all the projects the past two days from the design team?  I know I sure did!

Today I get to share with you Tulip Frame Die, but I just couldn't stop there.  I decided to create a gift card holder using both of the new frame dies.

First I cut the envelope the cut a square window from it and also from clear cardstock.  Next I stamped the sentiment through the window then glued the clear cardstock on the inside of the envelope.  After the glue had dried, I completed the assembly of the envelope.  The last thing I did was to cut the frames and do a bit of paper piecing to decorate the flowers and then attach to the outside of the envelope.  For the gift card portion I cut a rectangle then stamped flowers with VersaMark ink and added the die cut holder.

Creating two at the same time was quicker than I thought.  Now I have gift card holders ready to go when needed!

MCT 3D Wednesday ~ birthday greetings!

Hi!  Today is 3D Wednesday over at My Creative Time! 

 I made a sweet little birthday gift bag that's perfect for any movie loving person in your life!  The great thing about Emma's dies is that they make creating fun little gifts quick and easy.

After die cutting the bag on white cardstock, I stamped the red stripes with a background stamp.  Sure I could of used pattern paper, but I didn't have a thin strip in red.

MCT Cook-N-Craft ~ pampered!

Hi, I hope you had a Happy New Year and a wonderful holiday season!  I'm not really into New Year's resolutions, I'm more into trying to live the next day better than the last.  It's not always perfect, but I try not to stress since tomorrow is another day!  Hopefully! :)  However even though I just said that since it's the start of a new year we at My Creative Time are making some changes...and we hope you like them!

Today we are adding a new segment called Cook-N-Craft, each month we will be a sharing a recipe with you.  When I'm crafting all day (little secret...sometimes I make all my projects for the scheduled month in one day) I try to make something in the crock pot or takes time on the stove.  When it's cold I usually make a soup.

For today's project, I die cut two hearts with wool felt and stitched together with thick thread.  I added a few trinkets from the dollar store a gift card and a mini nail polish.  When giving a gift card it really doesn't take long to add a few details to make it more personal.

Chicken Taco Soup

4 chicken breast

1 lg can diced tomatoes with chilies

1 can sliced olives (drained)

1 can corn

1 pkt taco seasoning

1 pkt ranch dressing

2-4 cups of water depending on how thick/thin you like

I did this soup on the stove, but you can easily do it in a crock pot.

Cook chicken then chop or shred depending on preference.  Once chicken is cooked add both seasoning packets.  Next add remaining ingredients.  Stir.  Last add water, 1 cup at a time until you get the consistency desired.  I tend to add more since the chips soak up the juice.

Garnish with cheese, avocado, tortilla chips, and sour cream, or whatever you preferred.

MCT 5 Days of Christmas ~ a gift for you!

GOOD MORNING my friends! Today is Day 4 of My Creative Time 5 Days of Christmas. This week my Design Team Sisters at My Creative Time are working on a treat this week for our “5 Day s of Christmas”. You will see tons of AMAZING ideas from tags, treats, cards, gift card holders, etc.... to get your holidays off to a “crafty” good start! We all hope you enjoy everything you will see this week!   

Today I have a gift card holder to share with you!

To create this swing card I cut one base in Charcoal cardstock, then cut half of the "pop out" card with pattern paper and glued together.  Then just add the gift card pocket to the back and decorate the front of the swinging portion of the card.  I also stamped the "words" stamp in VersaMark ink.

Good morning, and welcome to My Creative Time October Release Sneak Peek day 4.  Only one more day before the shopping can begin!  Today I get to share with you, You Deserve A Break.  This set is filled with warm and thoughtful sentiments.

MCT What A Treat ~ sweet baby!

Hi, today I wanted to share with you a gift card using that I made for my sweet nephew and his wife's new baby...and my first great nephew.  Yep, I'm a first time great auntie!  

They live in Alaska so it's going to be awhile before I get to hold him :(

I'm so excited for my sister/brother in law for becoming first time grandparents!

I've been wanting to create my own plaid using stamps and finally had time to try.  First I gathered a bunch of my stamps that I thought would make cool lines and then narrowed the list down.  I used "streets", "paper lines", and other stamps that weren't made for this technique.  Just another way to get more out of your stamps :)  I used a large piece of paper, so you will be seeing another project with this same "background" paper.
