My Creative Time 98th Edition Release Sneak #2!

It's Day Two of sneaks for the upcoming release from My Creative Time!  You are going to love this one!!

We are taking a look at the new Be Mine Stamp Set and Love Letter Die Set. You're Valentines Day cards will be a breeze with these two products!

First of all, I LOVE the font of this stamp set and hope to see more in this style!

I actually created this card for my husband for Valentines. Even thought it has hearts and scallops, the grey and white palette tone down the girly-ness!  I cannot wait until you see the Love Letter Die in person, it is FABULOUS!!  And it comes with that super cute note card that tucks in perfectly (will also hold a gift card).

I stamped the front of the card base using one of the sentiments from Be Mine in a slightly darker grey ink than the cardstock. I used one of the XOXO Border Dies for some added interest and foam mounted the envelope to it.  For a bit of contrast, I matted the die cut panel onto some white cardstock.

These little envelopes are a breeze to put together so mass production would be really easy! 

I hope you enjoyed todays sneak peek and will come back tomorrow for our Blog Hop!!

My Creative Time 98th Edition Sneak Peek #1!

Welcome back!!  It's that time where we show you some sneak peeks of the upcoming 98th Edition Release from My Creative Time!

Emma is releasing 3 new Heart Bow dies!  I am a big fan of all the different bows in her line of dies but these may just be my favourite! For my project today, I'm using the Small Heart Bow.  

This is a standard A2 sized card so you can really see the size of this bow.  I went for a gradient look by cutting from three shades of blue cardstock.  The tiny little heart in the centre is part of the die set and looks super cute in gold.  NOTE: I cut tiny strips of cardstock to act as ribbon...this is not included in the die set.

All three bows were foam mounted onto a white panel cut with one of the More Stitched Rectangular Dies. I adhered the panel with liquid glue onto a white card base.

The sentiment comes from the Especially For You Stamp and Die Set and was gold heat embossed onto one the Sentiment Strip Dies.  I foam mounted this, as well. I wasn't going to use the little heart on the centre bow as it was behind the sentiment, but I'm glad I did!

I adore these bow, especially this size. But wait until you see the others!!

Thank you for stopping by! See you tomorrow for another peek!

My Creative Time Final Sneak Peek Day!!

Yesterday, we showed you the new Coffee Gift Card Holder Die. But what if you have family or friends that would prefer iced lattes, iced coffees or frappacinos?  Well, this next die set is for them!  It's called the Frap Gift Card Holder Die and it's totally awesome!

We also have a new stamp set to share today as well, called Christmas Cheer! Again, I do apologize for not having the stamp set.

Just like yesterdays sneak, this one is a lot of fun to decorate!  The large heart is part of the set and is big enough to house a substantial sentiment! This one comes from the Especially For You Stamp and Die Set.

A gift card fits in nice and snug so you'll have no worries about it getting lost.  What's fun about these dies is that they will work as is, as tags, as a focal point on a card OR even as a card itself!! Stay tuned for more about that, wink, wink!

I hope you enjoyed today's sneak peek! Make sure you come back tomorrow as we have the new release blog hop!!

My Creative Time Sneak Peek Day Two!

Welcome back! Today we are taking a look at two new products. One awesome die set and one awesome stamp set which just so happen to be a match made in heaven!  You'll be making tons of gifts for all your coffee drinking friends with the new Coffee Gift Card Holder Die Set along with the Not a Decaf Day Stamp Set.

Unfortunately, the stamps did not arrive in time for me to play with them, so I'll just show you the fabulous die set!

This set creates the cutes GC holder but it can also be used on a card front.  I used some patterned paper to create this fun holder!

What I love about this particular set is all the attention to detail Emma adds in. Including the small steam hole and the ridges on the lid!  I only wish that coffee places offered fun cups like these!

Just imagine the fun possibilities with this die set and how much fun it will be to give coffee gift cards!

Sneak Peek Day One...My Creative Time!

Welcome to Day One of sneak peeks for the upcoming 97th Edition Release for My Creative Time! It's another awesome release so stay tuned!

Today, we're showing you the new addition to the Lollipop Holder dies. This cute little set is called Turkey Pop! By now, you all know that I rarely make actual lolly holders with these dies. I love the versatility of these dies and want to use them for cardmaking!

I assemble all the parts and pieces to create what is essentially, half the lolly holder.  I placed this little guy inside a frame made using the largest die from the More Stitched Rectangular Dies and a circle die from the Bunch of Fun Circles Die Set.

I used Lowercase Fun Dies for the sentiment ( I did some "stamp surgery" to one other stamp set to create the "happy" and "you" portion).  I should mention that everything was coloured with Distress Inks and a sponge dauber.

The background needed a bit of interest so I used the Grainy Wood Grain Background Stamp (which is retiring and ON SALE!) and a dark brown ink.

Of course this little guy needed some google eyes because that's just a ton of fun!

And that's the new Turkey Pop Lollipop Holder in card form!  I hope you enjoyed!

Final Sneak Peek for My Creative Time!

Welcome to the last sneak peek of the upcoming My Creative Time release!!

We have an amazing, large die set to share with you!  It's called the Money Holder Die and it is going to come in handy time and time again!!  Cash is always a great gift but it's hard to make it fun or attractive to give.  This new die has you covered for many different occasions and I've decided to make a money holder for an upcoming wedding!!

Look at this thing!! This comes together SO quickly and will be a lot of fun to customize using other stamps and dies in your stash.  And yes, that congratulations die is included in this set!!

I prettied my envelope up using the previously released I Have Faith in You Stamp and Die Set.  I was a little worried that Canadian money wouldn't fit but IT DOES!!

I love this die set and I think you will too!!  Thanks so much for joining us this week but don't forget that we have a blog hop planned for tomorrow! We hope you'll join us!

My Creative Time Sneak Day Three!!

Aaand, we're back with another sneak peek for the upcoming 96th Edition Release for My Creative Time!

Today, we are showing you TWO new products. One, of which is the FREEBIE for this month!  The two work perfectly together so I combined both on my card.  First, is the Big Santa Dies. This set is awesome!! Second, is the HoHoHo Die (freebie).

The Big Santa Dies cut out the moustache, beard, hat along with separate dies to create the fuzzy parts of the hat. So. Much. Fun!!

I added some textured embossing powder on the white parts of the hat to create that fuzzy look.  I added some flicks of marker to the beard and moustache.  I foam mounted all the pieces onto a piece of cardstock cut with the second largest XOXO Border Dies.

I cut the HoHoHo Die out of red cardstock, which unfortunately was a different shade than the hat :(. This die does have a snowflake attached to it but I decided to trim it off.  I adhered it directly to the card.  I adhered the focal panel onto a card base that was embossed with a striped embossing folder.

A few sequins finish this card off!  I hope you enjoyed super fun sneak peek!! Tomorrow is our last days of peeks and you won't want to miss it.

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!!

My Creative Time 96th Edition Sneak Day One!

It's the greatest time of the month!!! We are close to another fabulous new release from My Creative Time!!  I hope you're ready for a week of amazing product sneak peeks!

Emma has designed some of the most incredible dies to get you through the upcoming holiday season.  But first, we are having a look at a new stamp and die set that will help get others through probably the hardest time of their lives...this set is called Keep Fighting and it is beautiful.

My card today is extremely clean and simple. A lot of white space with one focal point.

I heat embossed the gorgeous ribbon/wings image and used the co-ordinating die to cut it out.  I took the base layer die from a set we're showing you tomorrow (oops!) and cut it from white cardstock. I left the die in place and used a light grey ink to add some colour. By leaving the die in the cardstock, you get a lovely white border.

I modified and stamped one of the sentiments from the set in the same grey ink.  I used the co-ordinating die to cut some fun foam and mounted the embossed image on top then adhered the piece to the inked panel.  I also used foam tape to adhere the panel to the card base.

Clean and simple but really makes a statement.  

Thanks for stopping in!! See you tomorrow for another awesome peek at this months release!!

Sneak Peek #4, My Creative Time 95th Edition Release!

This is the final day of sneak peeks for the upcoming release for My Creative Time!  All products will be available tomorrow...yay!! We will also be having a blog hop to celebrate so stay tuned!!

We're showing you another must have die set!  This is called the Present Box Die and is perfect for small gifts or even party favours!

With two passes through your die cutting machine and a little adhesive, this little present box comes together very fast!  It also includes that super sweet bow!  I chose to make mine into a cut gift bag by adding a couple of holes and tying through some bakers twine.

I made mine using some fun patterned papers. Sentiment comes from the I Have Faith in You Stamp and Die Set.  I used the label dies from the Mailbox Gift Card Holder (Monday's sneak peek!). Love how these products work together!!

This assembled die will hold quite a few goodies and again, is perfect for all year round!

Thanks so much for stopping by today!  See you tomorrow for the blog hop!!

My Creative Time 95th Edition Sneak Day #3!

Are you ready for another awesome sneak peek from the upcoming My Creative Time release?!

We have another fun die to show you.  I happen to love this one because of its versatility!Bow dies are always fun to have in our stashes.  This particular one lies flat on your projects for easy mailing!  This die is called the Medium Holiday Bow Die.

I decided to make dimensional hanging ornaments!  These will be perfect for Christmas decorations but changing up the colours of paper, they can be used for any season!

I cut the pieces of the bow out twice. To add the dimension, I die cut the base of the bow out of craft foam.  I glued the paper die cuts onto the front and the back to the craft foam. I then added the ribbon before attaching the small, white square die cut.

I used a few of the small elements from the Holiday Envelope Die (yesterday's sneak peek!) and cut them from gold glitter paper!  I love the way these turned out and almost can't wait to set up the Christmas tree!  I plan to make a whole lot more of these!!

This release will also include a smaller version of this die called the Small Holiday Bow Die.  And stayed tuned because we have a special die and announcement coming up this Friday!!

Welcome back my friends!! My Creative Time has a spectacular release coming this month! Well, they're all spectacular but this one, in particular, has got my mojo going!! Emma is releasing some amazing new Christmas goodies so help with your holiday gift giving. However, most of this release can be used year round!

Today, we are starting with the Dec.25th Stamp Set and the Mailbox Gift Card Holder.  These work well on their own but pair perfectly together!

This gift card holder is adorable! I decided to decorate my mailbox with flowers made from the Flower Petal Dies. I used red cardstock to make them look Christmas-y.

A gift card fits perfectly inside the slot of the mailbox!  The sentiment is from the new Dec.25th Stamp Set and was stamped onto a label which is also included in this die set!

I love this die set SO much! It is fun and beautiful all wrapped into one!
