Day 3 sneak peak!

Happy Wednesday!

Today is day 3 of sneaks for this month's new releases for My Creative Time. I have another fun project that I made the new Vintage Stitched Label Dies and Vintage Label Stamps sets.

I made a mason jar gift.

 I filled the jar with peppermints, made and applied the label to the front with glue dots, and tied a bow around the lid. Can you say, quick and easiest gift ever!

Day 2 of My Creative Time's new release sneak peek week!

Happy Tuesday!

If you are looking for yesterday's freebie, click here.

Today is day two of sneak peek week for My Creative Times, new release week. Today's project was made with the newest die set called Lowercase Fun Dies.

I put my own spin on the Embossed Gift Card Holder die.

 I took the holder, measured down 3/4" from the top edge, and scored it. I then folded it in on itself, so that it created the small top flap. When you fold the bottom up,  it creates this closed gift card holder. I then tuned it on it's side and decorated it. The "baby" letters were cut out with the Lowercase Fun die set.

This is what the inside looks like, there is still plenty of room for the gift card.

1st Day of Sneaks... MCT New Release Week & a FREEBIE!

Happy Monday! 

How was your weekend? It was beautiful here in southern California, cold, but the weather was beautiful.  I was able to get in some crafty time both Saturday and Sunday night, which is always nice.

Today is the first day of sneaks for the My Creative Time's new release week. I made a card with one of the new sets called "Label Font". It's the coolest font! It looks just like you made it with a label maker. So cool, right!?!

Don't you just love Hello Kitty? I found this super cute Hello Kitty clip-art online. I loved her so much that I decided to convert her into a cutting file, so I could cut her out and use her on a card.

Guess What!?! 

I decided that because it's Monday, I am going to share the file with you! Yay me! 

The base of the card measure's 4"x 5". The white inset pieces measures, 3 .75"x 4.75" and the pink piece measures 3.5" x 4.5". Hello Kitty was cut at 4" tall.

Paper: Recollections and Core'dinations
Embossing Folder: ProvoCraft, Seeing Spots

Make-the-Cut Tutorial!

Happy Wednesday! 

Last week I made some the post-it note covers that had sports team logo's on the front of them. (click here to see that post) 

Over the last week, I have been getting a lot of emails asking where I got the logo cut files. I made them, so I made a video showing how. 

   

Lots of fun right?

Turkey Time

Happy Tuesday!

I have a quick shaped card for you today.

 Shaped cards are relatively simple to make. While working in Make-the-Cut, SCAL, or Silhouette Studio you take the shape or shapes that you want to use, create a shadow layer around them, and then weld two of the shadow layers together to make the base of your card.  

There is a video tutorial below, showing how.

Beary special thoughts...

Happy Monday! 

Did you have a nice weekend? The weather was beautiful here in southern CA. I spent most of my weekend cleaning, cleaning out closets and cupboards, and organizing my house. I was able to get in some crafty time yesterday afternoon. It was nice to have that extra hour of sleep too. :)

I made this fun card.

When I first saw this file from Scrapping Bug Designs, I knew exactly which sentiment of Emma's that I wanted to use.

Instead of cutting out the "hot stuff" letters, that are on the svg file, I replaced them with stamped letters from the My Creative Time.

Post-it Note Holder

Happy Friday!

It's Friday! It's Friday! It's Friday! WooHoo!

I have a fun an easy project for you today, they are post-it note covers. So fun! I saw the idea at a craft fair a couple years ago and I thought they were so cute. 

I have several friends who are all about sports. I converted a few team logo's in Make-the-Cut and made some sports covers. I think these are such great gifts or stocking stuffers.

Can you guess who I made the SF one for? Hmmmm.... I wonder! (wink, wink)

 Here's what they look like open! These are perfect gifts that kids can make for their teacher's! They're so quick and easy and they take little very supplies. You can use stickers or even have them draw a picture on the front.

I am going to work on some college logo's next!

I made this one for my bestie's hubby. I added his name so that he could take it to work and not worry about it getting lifted from his desk. :)  

Want to see how to make them?

Thanks for watching!

I hope you have a great day and a wonderful weekend!

Dia de los Muertos

Happy Thursday!

Today is "Dia de los Muertos" or "Day of the Dead"  it is a Mexican holiday celebrated throughout Mexico and around the world in other cultures. The holiday focuses on gatherings of family and friends to pray for and remember friends and family members who have died. It is particularly celebrated in Mexico, where it is a national holiday. The celebration takes place on November 1, in connection with the Catholic holidays of All Saints' Day and All Souls' Day (November 2). Traditions connected with the holiday include building private altars honoring the deceased using sugar skulls, marigolds, and the favorite foods and beverages of the departed and visiting graves with these as gifts. They also leave possessions of the deceased.

Although, I do not celebrate Dia de los Muertos, I have friends who do. I thought it would be fun to create Day of the Dead cards for them. Both cards were made with the Silhouette's print and cut feature.

The base of this card is from the Cricut Wild Card Cartridge. The yellow polka dot paper, the skull, and the banner are all graphic files from Lettering Delights.

The base of this card is a top note shape that I found online and converted into a svg and then into a card. The diamond paper, cat, and banner are all graphic files from Lettering Delights. I just love the white stitching on the black, don't you?

Card base: Cricut, Wild Card Cartridge

Skull & Banner Graphics: Lettering Delights, Sugar Skull Graphic set 

Digital paper: Lettering Delights, Sugar Skull Paper 

Card stock: DCWV and Recollection's

Crinkle Ribbon: Etsy

Card base: Top note shape welded together to make a card.

Cat & Banner Graphics: Lettering Delights, Sugar Skull Graphic set 

Digital paper: Lettering Delights, Curiouser and Curiouser 

Card stock: Recollection's

Although I love how both these cards turned out, I am still not a huge fan of the "print and cut" feature. It's a huge time saver and really easy to do, but I really like choosing the colors of the cuts and piecing the pieces together. I *heart* paper to much to be just a "print and cut" girl. :) I will say, that digital papers rock! Ah! One more thing to put on my "wish list".

Guess what!?!

Tomorrow is Friday! WooHoo!

I hope you have a wonderful day!
