MCT 37th Release October Blog Hop!!

Hi Everyone!!

Today is My Creative Time's Blog Hop!

I'm so excited to share with you today this wonderful release.

It's been a fun week with all the sneak peeks, I really enjoyed working with these stamps and dies.

Thanks so much Emma and the rest of the Design Team for letting me join you with this Release!

Also a big THANK YOU to all the MCT fans, you have been so awesome with all your wonderful comments!!

Here's my project...

Placecard treat holder that holds a hershey nugget for an after dinner treat.  These are so quick and easy to make, I used 3 of the Stitched Round Tag, Arrow and Tag die to form the holder.  Trim off the top of one of the tags so it measures 2" then score at 1/2" and 1 1/2", this is for the bottom.  Glue one tag to the 1/2" flap in the front and one on the back, one nugget fits perfectly inside.  The oval is from the new set Seasonal Greetings, sentiments are from the Boughs of Holly set and the mitten is from the Winter Cheer set.

Here's a closer look!

Now for what you've all been waiting for...

Boughs Of Holly

Oh Deer

Seasonal Greetings

Whimsical Trees

Winter Cheer

MCT 37th Release October Sneak Peek Day #4

Hi Everyone!!

It's Day 4 of My Creative Time's October Release!

Tomorrow the sale starts along with the Hop so don't miss it!

I have two Sneak Peeks for you today!

My First Project is a card using the Oh Deer Set

I also used two other new sets that was released this week, Whimsical Trees and Seasonal Greetings.  The gold striped background was cut using the Stitched 4 x 6 Journal Die, I just trimmed 3/4" off, the Stitched Bracket Dies covers up the top and bottom so you don't see the missing stitching.  The circle and frame was created using the Bunch of Fun Circle Dies, totally love this set, a must have!!

Second project is for the doggies, can't forget them...

The tag is from the Just Tags Stamp and Die set and the Holly and berries from the new Boughs of Holly.  I used some Versamark and stamped the little doggy around the bag, perfect for some special Christmas treats!

MCT 37th Release October Sneak Peek Day #2

Hi Everyone!!  I'm so happy to be the Guest Designer for My Creative Time this month!!  I love all of Emma's Stamps and Dies and this release is totally awesome!!

Now for my project, a Merry Little Christmas tag...

I use the new stamp set and coordinating dies Boughs of Holly, the tag is from the Just Tags Stamp Set. To make it look more dimensional I stamped and embossed only a couple of the pines first, then just stamped over the embossed ones.  For the berries I stamped and embossed with white ink and powder and then colored them in with a red promarker.

Snowman Tealight Ornament - Peachy Keen Stamps Tutorial

Hi everyone!!

It's Brigit here from Brigit's Scraps sharing a super simple tutorial using the

PK-1411 Christmas in July 1 1/8 Faces and

PK-1412 Snow Hugs Snowman sets.

This adorable tealight ornament makes such a cute gift for family and friends or even Christmas gifts for Teachers.  You can make a bunch in no time at all with just a few craft supplies that most of you have already and some adorable Peachy Keen Face Stamps!

Here's a photo of some of the supplies I used...

PK-1411 Christmas in July 1 1/8 Faces

PK-1412 Snow Hugs Snowman

Punches 1 1/2", 1 3/4" and 2".

White Cardstock

Tealight

Paper Punch 1/4"

Ink

Ribbon

Twine

Gems

Label Die

Markers

Hat Cut File

Chalk and Chalk Brush

I punch a 1 1/2" circle and folded in quarters and use the 1/4" to punch a hole directly in the center, I use this one as my template, it helps when you're making a bunch at a time.

Punch your three circles using the different size punches.  Now use your template to punch a 1/4" hole in the 1 1/2" circle.  Stamp your face image onto that circle lining the nose up in the center hole.

Chalk the cheeks and ink the edges before putting the face on the tealight. 

Gently push the face over the tealight, it's tight so go slow, will expand a little.

Glue the snowman together and decorate, I added a top hat that I cut with my silhouette.  Some ribbon as the scarf and black gems for buttons.  Tie a piece of ribbon around the tealight so it can be hung.

I hope you've enjoyed this tutorial and get to make some of these ornaments!

Have a wonderful day!!
