MCT - 12 Days of Christmas - Day 6

Welcome to the 6th day of My Creative Time's 12 Day of Christmas. Today I have a friend or neighbor gift idea. For the packaging I just reused a plastic bag that I had been given and it already had the cute little silver filler in it. I love to reuse stuff :).

I love this YUMMY hot chocolate and although I could just crush my own candy canes and add it to hot chocolate I kind of like having it already done for me ;). For the label I used the new Vintage Stitched Label Dies. For the darling hot chocolate mug and hot chocolate sentiment I used the Do the Cocoa Motion stamp set. And last but not least the 'warm holiday wishes' sentiment came from the Mixed Holiday Sentiments stamp set all once again from My Creative Time.

Here is a close up of the tag and little jingle bell with the candy canes behind it.

I hope you enjoy all the awesome ideas that the ladies have been showing so far. If you haven't yet, make sure to stop by Emma's blog to see what everyone has done today. Hugs- Glora

MCT March Release Blog Hop & Link Up

Today I am showcasing two of Emma's newest stamp sets. I used Coffee backgrounds for the super awesome background argyle on my card and Do the Cocoa Motion for the sentiments and hot cocoa cup. I also used Emma's Stitched Oval Die, it is definitely one of my favorite go to dies for sentiments.

This card is totally simple but I just didn't want to take away from these beautiful stamps and dies. It is another 3.5" x 3.5" card. I heat embossed the background with clear embossing powder. I added some puffy paint to the cream that is overflowing from the mug and I added some red Stickles to the tiny hearts. Then I used my Gellyroll to do a little stitching and I also added just a touch of twine from Trendy Twine.

MCT March Release Sneak Peek #4

Hello My Creative Time friends and welcome to our final day of My Creative Time sneak peeks. These are different than our normal sneaks because these stamps are already available for purchase HERE. Have you bought yours yet? They are so much fun!!!

If you are stopping by from my Everyday Cricut  I would like to thank you for stopping by again today.

The set we are all showcasing today is called Coffee Break. This set had three beautiful mini background stamps a hot drink container stamp and coordinating dies, etc.  When I saw the little mini polka dot background stamp I just knew I had to make myself a little Disney hot chocolate cup. It is one of my favorite treats to have at Disneyland when we are there for a visit in the winter.

This is just a sweet and simple card and it was SO easy to make. The hot cocoa container/die and the polka dots stamped on it come from Emma's new Coffee Break stamp and die set. The HOT COCOA and Wishing you a Cup of Cheer! sentiments both came from the Do the Cocoa Motion stamp set and then I also used the Stitched Oval Die as well. The tiny Mickey icons are actually from a paper punch I bought at Disneyland years ago. From there I just did a little inking around the edges, some faux stitching and a bit of twine. This card is 3.5" x 3.5".

With all of our Sneak Peek weeks, Emma likes to do some FUN giveaways!

MCT March Release Sneak Peek #2

Hello My Creative Time friends and welcome to our 2nd day of My Creative Time sneak peeks. These are different than our normal sneaks because these stamps are already available for purchase HERE. If you are stopping by from my Everyday Cricut I would like to thank you for stopping by to take a peek.

The set we are all showcasing today is called Do the Cocoa Motion. This has lots of yummy hot chocolate sentiments as well a this perfect chocolate sentiment. I thought that this would make the perfect birthday card for a chocolate lover.

That yummy piece of cake is from the Sweet Treats Cricut cartridge. I used a Martha Stewart punch at the bottom as well as some pretty grosgrain ribbon. And I added some doodling with my Gellyroll pen.
