Home Is Where The Anchor Drops - My Creative Time Manly Monday

Hello, welcome to Manly Monday!  For my card today I used the Hey Sailor and Anchors & Heart Dies.  I also used the the wave dies from You're A Great Catch set and the Stitched Rectangular Frame Dies.  I created the sky and water with distress inks and water spray.

Care For Yourself - My Creative Time Anything Goes

Hello, I have a quick card to share with you today.  It's very simple but I just love how the gold cardstock gives it a nice edge.  I used the You Are Spot On set to create the circle cutouts and placed a pretty blue background scene behind.  The sentiment is from You Are A Blessing, this is a nice set for all who care.  The front and background layer is cut using the Stitched Rectangular Frame Dies.

Doodlebug Design's Easter Express Design Team Projects

Hello, I have some Doodlebug projects to share from the new Easter Express Collection.  I had so much fun making these projects, this collection is not only adorable but it's also very pretty, I love it!

This gift set includes a shadowbox gift card bag and a box card which folds up and fits into an envelope.

Mr. Bunny doodle-pop goes perfectly with this shadowbox bag, it adds such nice dimension.  How cute is that carrot clip, totally love and this paper, it's one of my favorites.  This bag is one of Lori Whitlock's you can find it in the Silhouette Design Store or at her online shop.

I used the eggs, little chicks, flower & leaves that come in the Odds and Ends pack to put this card together, they made it so quick and easy.  The Odds & Ends package contains 105 die cut pieces, everything in there is so adorable.  The card base is from SVGCuts Easter Box Cards collection.

I think this Easter Express doodle-pop is just darling with it's little puffs of smoke, how cute!!  I used some limeade daisy petite paper and some limeade sequins along with some stickers from the collection.

This is a super simple basket, but I love this large sticker and the pretty dot paper, just finished it with some chunky bubblegum twine and button.  This basket is one of Lori Whitlock's you can find it in the Silhouette Design Store or at her online shop.

For my last project I made a card using the Easter Basket doodle-pop, Happy Easter sticker and some flowers and leaves from the Odds & Ends pack, also some matte sprinkles.

You can find the Easter Express Collection and it's Accessories here.

I hope you've enjoyed these projects, have a wonderful day!

Doodlebug Design Spring Things Cut Files and Paper Collection

Hello! I have a couple of projects to share with you using some of Doodlebug Design's Spring Things cut files and Paper Collection. The cut files are available at both Lori Whitlock SVG Shop and the Silhouette Online Design Store.

First up is this viewmaster shaped card I created to use with the Spring Wheel cut file. It was made from all basic shapes in Silhouette Studio Designer Edition.

The Spring Wheel is just darling, I think it would look fabulous filled with little photos on a layout. This was a very easy card to put together, I mostly used rounded squares except for an oval to slice away the top part where the wheel fits and circles for the eyes.

Other Doodlebug products used, Textured Cardstock from some of the Assortment Packs, Spring Sprinkles, Bumblebee Twine.

This gift set was created using some of the Spring Things cut files on the card and stickers from the paper collection on the birdhouse box. I love the papers in this collection they are so pretty!

All the elements on this card are from the cut file collection, even the notepad which I did a print & cut using SSDE and my Cameo. I also used the springtime sticker from the collection, Doodlebug Jewels and Doodlebug Textured Cardstock.  I used a little Wink of Stella on the letters, you can't really see so much in the photo but it gives them a nice glittery shine.

This birdhouse makes such a cute treat box, you can get it either at the Silhouette Design Store or Lori Whitlock Shop.  I also used some Bubblegum Twine, a button from the Bubblegum Boutique pack and some Lily White Textured Cardstock.

I hope you've enjoyed these projects, have a wonderful day!

Birthday Gift Tag - My Creative Time Cook N Craft

Hello welcome to MCT's Cook N Craft!

I'm sorry to say I don't have a recipe to share today, I was away all weekend in Saratoga Springs, NY at Chowderfest, at least it was food related, lol!!  We go up every year with Family and Friends, we even take our two dachshunds for some doggie chowder, so much fun!  Here's the newspaper's link with some photos.  I'm happy to say the place I voted for was one of the winners!

Here's some of the group.

Onto my project...

I really made this tag super quick, I used the Mixed Just For You set along with the Just A Note die.

Doodlebug Design Cream & Sugar Design Team Projects

Hello, I have to tell you how excited I I'm to be joining the Doodlebug Design team, such a great company with wonderful designers! I'm looking forward to this year ahead!

I couldn't make up my mind on what to create so I made a couple of sets using some of the NEW Cream & Sugar Cut Files and Paper Collection. The cut files can be bought at Lori Whitlock's shop in svg format or the Silhouette Design Store.

First up is a macaron card and treat box...



These macaron's are so cute, I fell in love the minute I saw them. I knew I wanted to make a box so I searched the internet and came up with this adorable macaron pdf file, I converted the file and did a trace and cut it out on my cricut explore.



I used this chip bag and made it into a shaker card. Crimping the edges really helped to make it look more realistic. I added a couple of of little macaron sprinkles and some bubblegum chunky twine.



The box is super simple to put together, you could make a bunch of these in no time.



The donut cut files are so stinkin' cute, I had so much fun putting these two projects together. For the sprinkles I used a couple of colors of Doodlebug's Textured Cardstock, which cuts like a dream on my Cricut Explore.



I thought this trio would look darling together, so I created this shaped card in Silhouette Studio, (I have an older version of SSDE so I'm able to save what I create as an svg and cut it out on my other machines.)  I kept it pretty simple not to take away from the donuts, they are just too cute with all those sprinkles and this sentiment from the collection is just perfect.



I used this file to make the matching donut bag, I reshaped it a little to make it rounder. I love this brown gingham paper from the Gingham-Linen Rainbow Petite Prints pack, definitely a must have for your stash.

I wanted to make something with an old fashion feel with the cookies and milk cut files so I created this card and matched it up with this pretty swimming pool gingham bag.



The pitcher of milk is the cutest and those chocolate chips look simply delicious, totally love! The lily white textured cardstock is from Doodlebug's Pastel Assortment pack.



These doodlebug bags are just darling, add a little treat inside and you have a quick and easy project.

I hope you've enjoyed the projects I created, thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!
