96th Edition Release Sneak Day 2...My Creative Time!

It's Day Two of sneaks for the upcoming release from My Creative Time!  Are you excited??!!  Today, we are showing you TWO new dies!


You likely remember the Spooky Tree Tag Die from the August release.  Well, Emma has designed two more to add to this line!  I love these sets because it contains both the detailed frame portion as well as a backing.  These dies are super versatile. They can be used on a card or by simply punching a hole, can be used as a tag!

So, without further ado, here are the new Snowflake Tag Die and Christmas Tree Tag Die!!

I used the Snowflake Tag Die on a square card base and it looks fantastic. By punching a hole in the second die, it instantly becomes a tag!

I thought it would be fun to have a pink snowflake. Then, I couldn't help myself and created a VERY pink card!  But I just love non-traditional christmas colours!  By adding a few sequins inside the frame, it creates the illusion of a shaker card.

The sentiment comes from the Christmas Wishes Stamp Set.

The Christmas Tree Tag is extra fun because you can create a tiny little scene!  By adding a snow bank behind the tree and adding an ink blended sky, you get a cut little picture on a tag!

The garland, ornament and stars all pop out of the tree so they can be coloured and inlaid back in place! Again, I chose non tradition colours. The sentiment comes from the Dec 25th Stamp Set.

This makes a great tag but would also look great on your Christmas tree!

And that's day two!!  Tomorrow is probably my favourite day of sneak peeks so be sure to come for a visit!!

Thanks so much for stopping by!!

Birthday Palooza with My Creative Time!

Hello my friends and welcome back!! It's all about birthday projects for My Creative Time.  I decided to make a birthday tag card. Yep, a card and tag all in one!

I started by die cutting 2 of the scalloped tag from the Tag Dies Die Set. On one of the tags, I scored along one side at 1/4 inch. This happens to line up perfectly with the corner edge at the top and the first scallop at the bottom.  I used Scor-Tape along the fold that created.

After the two pieces are attached, it looks like a tag but acts like a card!!  To decorate the front, I cut the label die from the Vintage Stitched Label Die Set out of a piece of fun patterned paper. This is one of my most used die sets...I love the shape!  This label also works fabulously with the Bunch of Stitched Doily Dies. I used the second smallest in this set.  For the focal image, I die cut pieces to build a cupcake from the Light The Candles Stamp and Die Set out of some mixed media paper.

I used this particular paper because I wanted to do some simple watercolour with my Tombow Markers.

Everything just fit so well together in that label die!!  I stamped a sentiment on the front of the tag/card as well as the inside.  The sentiments come from the Light the Candles set as well.

I added a little twine to the front tag only and a little Glossy Accents to the cherry!

And there it is!! Hope you enjoyed!!

Thank you so much for dropping by today!  I'll be back soon!!
