Birthday Tag Set

It is Tag it Tuesday at My Creative Time and we are all making a set of coordinating tags. I decided to make some girl and boy birthday tags, these things always seem to come in handy.

I used a handful of My Creative Time products to make these. I used the Stitched Round Tab Arrow and Tag Die, the Scallop and Stitched Circle Dies. For stamp sets I used the All Around Birthday Time, All Around Goodies and the All Around Everything Accessories. I tied the tags off with some pretty colors of Trendy Twine.

Make sure you stop by Emma's Blog to see some more awesome tag sets. Hugs- Glora

School Note Card Set

Today we are starting a new Designer Challenge at My Creative Time. Cathryn is our host for this challenge. She has challenged us to make a school themed project. I thought it would be fun to make some 3x3 notecards.

I used several My Creative Time products on these. I used: the Scallop and Stitched Circle Dies, the All Around Everything stamp set, the All Around Everything Accessories, and the All Around Goodies (for the apples). I also used the Simple Sallies face assortment by Peachy Keen Stamps for the face on the apple.

Make sure to join in on this fun challenge over at My Creative Time! Hugs- Glora

MCT September Release Blog Hop

Hi and welcome to the My Creative Time September Release Blog Hop. If you came here from Cindy B's blog that you are in the right spot, if not make sure to go to the My Creative Time Blog to get the whole hop in.

I've got a few quick things to share with you and then I will send you on your way.

First a quick and easy treat bag for a large chocolate chip cookie.

I used the new All Around Goodies for ALL of the stamps on this. I also used the Scallop and Stitched Circle Dies. I borrowed Ruthie's idea of adding some glossy accents to my cookie. The bag is a glassine bag from Liz's Paper Loft Boutique and that pretty trim is a picot ribbon from Liz's Paper Loft Boutique. I must admit that this cookie is not homemade and it is NO LONGER fresh baked ;).

If you need some REAL quick Christmas gift card holders this project is just the trick. It doesn't take much time at all just a few die cuts and little bit of stamping.

For this one I used Emma's Embossed Gift Card Holder Die and Gift Card Sentiments. I also used the new Just Tags for the tag and the Just For You stamp set for the tree. For the embellishments I added a few star adhesive rhinestones, some hemp twine from Liz's Paper Loft Boutique and a little ribbon.

And last of all I have a Halloween layout to share. My children love Halloween for the TREATS. I mean who doesn't love a bag full of SUGAR? Anyway, I thought these stamps and dies along with some previously released ones would make a fun layout.

The teal and orange squares along the top are for some 2.5 x 2.5" pictures. The middle mat will be for a 4x6 inch picture.

To the side of the main image mat I used the new Just Tags Die and stamped it with a sentiment from Treats for my Sweet. This is a removable die and just slides in and out so that I can add some personal journaling. The hemp is once again from Liz's Paper Loft Boutique.

Along the bottom I used images and sentiments from both the All Around Goodies and also from last year's All Around Halloween. I also used the Scallop and Stitched Circle Die.

MCT September Release Sneak Peek Day 2

If you are looking for the Peachy Keen Blog Hop just click HERE.

Well are you loving Emma's new mini release this month? I'm so excited to have these new My Creative Time stamps and dies. They are going to make my holiday treat giving a breeze.

When I first saw the new tag it seemed the perfect size to make a little treat slider with. I used Mini Hershey's Milk Chocolate candy bars for all of these but I believe something like a Laffy Taffy would probably work too. I made one for each of the upcoming holidays.

Here is a close up of the Halloween one:

For this one I used the new Just Tags along with last months stamp set called Treats For My Sweet. When you pull up on the ribbon the candy slides up with it, thus a TREAT slider. The slider idea wasn't my own I have seen a couple of YouTube videos in the past that showed hot chocolate and apple cider sliders I just added my own twist by making it a treat slider. This is what it looks like when you pull up on the bow:

My girls were pretty enchanted with how it could slide in and out. Simple but fun and a breeze to make.

Here is the Thanksgiving one close up:

For this one I used a Turkey from the Peachy Keen Country Bumpkin Minis stamp set along with the letters from the Just Simply Live stamp set by My Creative Time. These would make cute little Thanksgiving name place markers. The will actually stand up on their own with the candy inside.

And last of all this is a close up of the Christmas one:

For this one I used the new Just Tags, the Scallop and Stitched Circle Die, the new All Around Goodies and the previously released All Around Christmas.

Here is a REALLY quick video showing how to put one of these together. It is just music playing in the background because the kids were being lively :).

You will notice that I started the video with my tag cut out kind of like a card. I have another video that shows you how to do that with dies. You can find that video in this POST. You DO NOT have to do it that way. You could just use REALLY tacky glue on each side of two tags or you could machine stitch the sides as well. I just thought it would be easier to have one side already stuck together.
