My Creative Time New Release Blog Hop!

Happy Friday!

Today is day two of this months My Creative Time's new release blog hop! If you have arrived from Rosy's blog, then you are on the right track. If you would like to start at the beginning  click here.

For today's project, I am showcasing the new Vintage Stitched Dies and the Vintage Sentiments.
 My Friend Jamie found the idea for this super cute Tissue Box Card on YouTube. She thought it would be easier to make it into a svg file and use her Cameo to cut it out. She was so sweet and shared the file on her blog. I just think it is the cutest! 

Do you want the file too? Click "Jamie" above and it will take you to the download page, please don't forget to thank her!
 Seriously, who wouldn't be cheered up by this? It measures 4 1/4"x 2 1/2"x 4 1/2"tall and it holds one travel size tissue pack. I found a 3 pack of tissue at the $1 store.
My frog was cut at 3" tall, the bow at 1" x 3/4", and the lilly pad was made with an oval from MTC's basic shaped library, that measures 3 1/4" x 3/4". I stamped her sweet face with a PKS stamp.

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 
Hello Kitty svg: File that I converted (see below on how to download)
"Hello" font stamps: My Creative Time, Label Font

Free File!
The only thing that I ask, before you download, is that you become/are a follower of my blog.

You can download the Hello Kitty Zebra files, here.
I made it into three versions .mtc, .svg, or .studio, so be sure to click the one you want/need.

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.

Turkey svg: Lettering Delights, Stuffing Stitchy

Here is a video tutorial showing how to make a shaped card. 


Today is Technique Tuesday on the MCT blog!

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. 
Papers: Core'dinations, Recollections, and Pebbbles Inc.
SVG: Scrapping Bug Designs, Disguise Da Limit
Face Stamp: Peachy Keen Stamps, PK-140 Teddy Bear and Reindeer Face Parts 
Hot Stuff letters: My Creative Time, Just Simply Live
Sentiment: My Creative Time, Beary Special Thoughts

Today is ...

day on the MCT blog. Head on over for some fun PL and Smash ideas!

I hope you have a fabulous day!
