The Alamo... Scrapping the Little Things

Today is another Scrapping the Little Things at My Creative Time. Our challenge for our project today was to recycle something. Well I finally made some chipboard letters using a cracker box like my DT sister Shar does. I love how nice and thick they turn out.

For my page I did another one from my college choir tour to Texas.

For the main piece I used the die that comes with the Card Sentiments stamp set. It is a 3x3 Tri-Fold Card Die. I just extended the cut and flipped it over so that the fancy edge was on each end when I cut it with my Cuttlebug. I used the Stitched Button dies for the stars. And my chipboard letters (my recycled items) were made using the Lowercase Fun Dies. And last of all I stamped one of the new Journal It stamps and filled it in with my choir tour schedule for that day.

I hope you enjoyed my simple layout. Make sure to drop by Emma's blog and see what everyone else has 'recycled' in their layout today. Hugs- Glora

MCT Sneak Peek Day 1

Hello and welcome to day 1 of the My Creative Time April stamp and die release. If you came to the pre-release blog hop on Saturday you already have a good idea of what goodies are waiting for you. This release is AWESOME.

Today we are sneaking a set called You're Brilliant. I love this set and the darling little light bulb die that comes with it. This die comes with some awesome layering capabilities to give it more dimension as well as a stamp that you can use for the light bulb filament. I decided not to stamp the filament on mine because I wanted to stamp a PKS face. But I LOVE having all the options. Emma just seems to think of everything. I really love this set and I'm certain I will be using it a lot.

I used the already existing 3x3 Trifold Card Die which is included with the Card Sentiments Stamp set. I also used the new You're Brilliant stamp set for the sentiment and light bulb die. The cute face is by PKS and is called In Stitches.

Be Mine Easy Treat Container

Well hello, it is time for another 3D Wednesday over at My Creative Time. Today we are all making boxes or containers to share. I made a little treat container using some of Emma's existing dies. It was super easy and I think it turned out pretty cute too.

I got this basic idea from a treat that my Mother in law gave to my kids last year. I made a Saint Patrick's Day version of the treat container using my Gypsy last year. You can see that one by clicking HERE. Well when this assignment came up I started brainstorming and remembered that cute treat from last year and thought that Emma's 3x3 Fancy Tri-fold Card Die would work perfectly for this. It absolutely did.

 All I had to do was figure out the perfect places to score it at and the rest is a piece of cake. If you cut out the 3x3 Fancy Tri-fold Card Die all you have to do is place it on a score board straight edge in the corner and score it at 2.75", 3.5" and 6.25".

I wanted a transparent little window so I used the heart die from the 100% Sweetness stamp set to create my window. I filled a 3" wide clear bag with M&Ms and stapled the bag to the top.

 

Finishing this off was a breeze using the Teeny Tags Layer Dies and a sentiment from the Teeny Tag Greetings Stamp set along with a little bit of hemp twine from Liz's Paper Loft Boutique.

I hope you enjoyed this simple and fun little project. Make sure you stop by Emma's Blog to see what fun boxes and containers everyone else came up with. Hugs- Glora

MCT August Release - Sneak Peek Day 4

Hi My Creative Time fans. Today isn't one of my assigned days to post but I couldn't resist making up a couple of quick cards with today's sets. These sets are the 3x3 Fancy Tri-fold Card and the 3x3 Fancy Envelope.

This first card was made using the tri-fold card die and one of Emma's older sets called Home Sewn. I saw my fellow DT sister Katie make a card with the house in the wagon when the set first came out and I loved the idea and used it here.

This second card was made using the 3x3 Tri-fold card die and one of the sentiments from the stamps that come in this set. The baseball player is from an older set called Grand Slam.

Here is this card with its coordinating envelope. I love that I'm going to be able to make fast and cute 3x3 cards and envelopes to put them in.
