My Creative Time :: January Stamp Release Sneak Peek Day 4

Good morning! And welcome to the last day of sneaky peeks before tomorrow's big January Release BLOG HOP!! I hope you've enjoyed all of our projects and stay tuned on Friday at 12:01 am PST over at Emma's blog, because you are NOT going to want to miss this release and fabulous prize!

Today, the DT is showcasing a new DIE!! Yes, the Bubblegum Treat Box die! It is absolutely perfect for those kiddos' little treats anytime during the year.

I used the My Mind's Eye Stella & Rose Hattie Papers 6x6 paper stack by Jen Allyson for all my papers. I love the color theme in this stack. ;) The flower was cut from the Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge and srayed with liquid adhesive and then covered with Martha Stewart Course Glitter. The twine is Caribbean from The Twinery. I used the new My Creative Time Stamp set Teeny Tag greetings and it's coordinating layering dies for the sentiment.

AND AS ALWAYS, IT'S

My Creative Time :: January Stamp Release Sneak Peek Day 3

Good morning and WELCOME to our THIRD day of sneaky peeks for the upcoming My Creative Time January release! Today Emma and her design team our showcasing a new stamp set called Teeny Tag Greetings!

And because these stamps are so versatile, I've made NOT one, BUT two cute projects for today!

For my first project, I used an SVG file from www.svgcuts.com called One Piece Favor Boxes. These are SO simple to use! I used the DCWV Rustic paper stack for all my papers and the Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge for the flowers. This stamp also comes with a die that fits all the stamps PERFECTLY!

As soon as I saw this next saying on the stamp set, I KNEW I had to use it. I'll be using it on my hubby's Valentine card, since this is what I tell him everyday.

I used PaperTrey Ink black cardstock and some misc Bazzill cardstock for the solid colors. The love paper is from the My Mind's Eye Love Me paper stack. I embossed the dress with the Swiss Dots Cuttlebug folder. This cute little couple was cut from an SVG file called Kate's Holiday Silhouettes (also from SVGcuts.com). I added a border from My Creative Time Small Talk and some iRock gems.

AND AS ALWAYS, IT'S

Peachy Keen Stamps :: Kickoff Linky Party!

Hi there! Peachy Keen Stamps is having a Kickoff Linky party to celebrate their new designers and their new and improved PK Challenges! I got some older stamps when I ordered my January Stamp of the Month kit and decided to use them, since for this first challenge, there were no additional requirements other than using some PKS!

I used the paper from the new Peachy Picks Kit and the stamp is the PKS Vivienne & Friends, colored in with some Copics. I also used the Pink By Design "Just Breathe" stamps set for the sentiment. Oh and some Divine Twine!

My Creative Time :: January Stamp Release Sneak Peek Day 1

Guess what?! It's time again for some fabulous new stamps to be released! All week long, Emma from My Creative Time and her design team will be showing you some sneak peeks! All leading up to the release of Emma's 13th stamp edition! 

So without making you wait ANY longer...here is my project featuring a new stamp set called "Grand Slam!"

I used Bazzill and PaperTrey Ink paper for all of the solid colored cardstock. The patterned paper is from the Paper Studio "Baseballs." I used a Stampin' Up corner punch for the photo corners and a notebook edge punch for my tags. The baseball and bat were cut from the Sports Mania Cricut Cartridge. I also used the My Creative Time "Sports Sentiments" on my project as well.

AND AS ALWAYS, IT'S

My Creative Time :: Favorite Stamp of the Month!

Over at My Creative Time, we have decided that every other Thursday, Emma and her design team will be dedicating projects showcasing an older My Creative Time stamp set. For today's project we are using the "You Had Me at Chocolate" stamp set.

I have a couple of projects to share today!

I am quickly getting the hang of my Silhouette Cameo! The Silhouette Cameo is a die cutting machine that allows you to cut SVG files through the Silhouette software (Designer edition) or Make The Cut. I really like the Silhouette software, and they have subscriptions where you are entitled to a monthly amount of cutting files available through the Silhouette online store. :)

I used an SVG file from My Scrap Chick called Take Flight for this adorable little pilot. ;) I couldn't resist using a cute little "peachy" face on him either! I used the 'Boy Mates' assortment, the 5/8" stamp. You can view and purchase these must have face stamps HERE. 

All of the solid cardstock is from my stash (Bazzill) and the patterned plaid paper for the shirt is from the DCWV All About Boys paper stack. I printed the cloud background from the Imagine Hopscotch cartridge. The super cute little banner is from the MCT Build A Banner kit. And of course, the sentiment from the You Had Me at Chocolate stamp set. I also used some PaperTrey Ink twine and some dark brown brads.

And for my second project...

I used PaperTrey Ink Kraft and Black cardstock for the base and first layer. The patterned paper is from the DCWV The Green Stack paper stack. I cut this super cute little froggy with Coordinations cardstock from the Sweethearts Cricut cartridge and added some googly eyes to him. I also added some Stampin' up black brads.

If you own this stamp set, we would LOVE to see ANY projects you have made OR any NEW projects using this stamp set! 

My Creative Time is having a "You Had Me at Chocolate" link up party! 

Please link up your projects HERE to Mr. Linky on My Creative Time's page! If you do NOT own this set, it's your LUCKY day because it is on sale right now HERE! Go pick up your set before they sell out! We are ALL looking forward to seeing your projects! ;)

My Creative Time :: Monday Madness...Imagine That!

It's time for the first Monday Madness...Imagine That over at My Creative Time!! That's right, it's time to pull out those Imagines and get printing. This is just in time for many of you who might have taken advantage of the fabulous price of the Imagine at Walmart (or other retailers) on Black Friday. ;) 

For today's post, I am showcasing the Imagine cartridge "Imagine More" and the My Creative Time stamp set "This and That," which you can purchase here!

I used PaperTrey Ink Kraft and Dark Chocolate solid cardstock, and the light teal and red polka dot patterned paper is from the DCWV The Doodlin' Around paper stack. The other patterns were all printed from the Imagine More cartridge. The sun layers were cut from page 4, the corners and blue frame from page 22 and the larger frame from page 12. 

I tried to get a shadow layer of the frame, but my Imagine decided she wasn't going to play nice after a while. I ended up having to use the sizing on the Imagine itself, and then in the end she refused to update. I'm giving her a rest until tomorrow. ;)

Enjoy!

My Creative Time :: 3-D Wednesday!

I'm back! Seems like I've been gone for a while, but with the Christmas and New Year's holiday, I had some extra time off to spend with my kiddos. I didn't neglect my craftroom all together though, I was able to make some super cute projects that I'll be posting soon!

Today over at My Creative Time, it's the first 3-D Wednesday of 2012! 

I'm showcasing the stamp set 100% Sweetness! 

Which is PERFECT for all theValentine treats I need to start making! You can purchase the set HERE along with all of Emma's other fabulous stamps. :)

I decided to go with a cut that I found over at www.svgcuts.com. It was surprisingly easy to put together too! I love the little slot at the top for putting in little love notes. ;)

The patterned paper came from The Paper Studio U + Me paper stack, which I picked up at Hobby Lobby. I also used PaperTrey Ink Raspberry Fizz and Hibiscus Burst for the solid colors and the ribbon on the side of my mailbox. And what is a project without that fabulous Kraft cardstock? I think I find myself using more and more. :)

The little envelope stamps are from the My Creative Time Happy Mail stamp set, and I also use the Fancy Frame stamp and die set on my project.

I finished it off with some Trendy Twine and a PTI button!

I hope the start of 2012 is bringing you a little more crafting time and I can't wait to check up on your blogs and see what you've been up to!
