My Creative Time 94th Edition Sneak Day Two!

Are you ready for another peek into this month's release from My Creative Time??! Today we're showcasing the FREEBIE dies!  These dies are free to the first 25 shoppers so you'll want to shop early!!

This set of dies co-ordinates with the Halloween Fun stamps and dies we showed you yesterday.  These little labels are made to fit the sentiments from the set. And have a really cool stitched edge and shape!

I decided to make a shaker card today using both ghost dies from the Halloween Fun dies.  I think it's super cute how it looks like the ghost in the middle is holding a sign!! Isn't the shape of these little dies awesome?

And remember that speckled stamp I mentioned yesterday? I used that again today to add just a little something to the background!!

Are you getting excited for this release yet?  Thanks so much for dropping in! Please visit again tomorrow for another amazing sneak peek!!

Whatever Wednesday with My Creative Time!!

Hello and Happy Halloween! Are you ready for all those trick or treaters? We live in the country so I maybe see 2 kids but that doesn't stop me from buying the candy :)

I made a cute little Halloween candy treat holder today. This is perfect when you only get a few kids at your door, although this did not take long to put together!

I used the new Gift Card Gift Box Die set for this project. This little die set is going to get a lot of use in the next couple of months and beyond!!

I used patterned paper for both the top and the bottom of the box.  Before adhering the top together, I die cut the Pumpkin Face in the centre.  I placed a bit of black cardstock behind the face to make it stand out.

For an added touch, I used the bat dies from the Open If You Dare Stamp and Die set and the "BOO" which comes from the Ghost Lollipop Holder Die.  I did add a bit of shimmer to the black areas with my Spectrum Noir Clear Sparkle pen.

Now just look at all the treats this gift box holds!!  Any trick or treater would LOVE this little box!!

I hope you all have a safe and fun Halloween!!

Until next time...stay crafty!

3-D Wednesday with My Creative Time!!

Hello friends and welcome back!! Today I have a cute, felt Halloween ornament to share with you today!

It's nice to make things other than cards and I love when you can combine things like paper crafting and sewing or stitching!!  I used the recently released Witch Hat Topper Die. This die is intended to make the cutest toppers for treat bags but can be used for so much more!

I started by die cutting all the pieces out of a few different colours of felt I had in my stash.

It's best to run them through your die cutting machine a few times to get the cleanest cut. I didn't do that with the hat and spider and ended up with a lot of fuzzy edges on the hat and a torn spider!  What's nice about this particular die is that it is already 2 pieces joined.  This took a bit of pressure off while stitching. Simply fold it over and stitch together!

I used white floss because I thought the contrast would look good.  I also stitched in a piece of bakers twine for the hanger and the little spider!

Here's a look at the completed stitching...

Now, I actually cheated when it came to the band and buckle of the hat. Instead of sewing those pieces on, I used Glossy Accents to adhere them. This glue works great for this!!

I couldn't resist adding small googly eyes to the spider.

I guess you could hand this out to a VERY special trick or treater. Or if you're really ambitious, make a bunch of these ahead of time.  This really didn't take too long to make.

I hope you found a little inspiration here today! These little ornaments can be made with many dies in your stash, you just have to think outside the box a little :)

Thank you for stopping by!!!
