MCT Scrapping the Little Things

It's a new week and time for another scrappy Monday at My Creative Time. For today's projects we are featuring the newly release ticket dies. There are so many ways you can use them, as you may have seen in our sneak peeks and release hop last week. Here are a couple more. I love tickets! :) Love this photo of Grace hiking River Meadows, taken by my daughter. 

Here I've used them for my title. They look great layered with each other. For my title I used the Camera Shy stamp set.

These cute little tags are from the Chunky Jar Accessories, also a new release. Subtitle from the Camera Shy set on the vintage label banner die. More tickets below with the date and place of the photo. This time I layered the little tags on the tickets.

Thanks for coming by today. Happy Presidents' Day! I hope you have the day off to enjoy some me-time.

MCT Blog Hop


***BLOG HOP GIVEAWAY ALERT***
For our blog hop giveaway, two lucky commenters will each win a $25 Gift Card to the My Creative Time store. Winners will be chosen from ALL combined blog comments. All you have to do is leave a comment here and on the other designer blogs. I can't stress enough, if you want to win, PLEASE leave your email address so we can contact you.  Winners will be selected using random.org . The more blogs you comment on, the more chances you have to win. Deadline is midnight Sunday, February 17. Emma will announce the winners on her blog on Tuesday, February 19. Good luck! 

Special note regarding the featured TREAT SLIDER DIE
The Treat Slider Die is a larger die, and for this reason will ALWAYS be a PRE-ORDER item. Please allow a 2 week turn-around for delivery of this die. ALSO, this will be sold individually and will NOT be included with the bundle. 

Now, let's get to the crafty business! I'm so super excited about this release and I know you are too. If you have any desire at all to own them, I'd recommend you get to the store ASAP as I'm sure the first order won't last long. Just sayin'! Today we are featuring the awesome new Treat Slider Box Die Set. This set is really quite versatile, and doesn't HAVE to be used only with the Hershey Nugget candies as you see here. They will also accommodate Hershey Bliss and Reese's miniature peanut butter cups. 


Here I have used the actual box portion as a card! I simply folded the bottom to make a pocket and added two of the fab tickets inside with lovey messages on them. The scalloped wrap makes the perfect matching "label" on the front of my card for a message. And check out the flower. I've used one of the petal dies for the base and for my flower I used the new stitched doily. Can you say awe-some!? I love how it looks all rolled up with the pretty lacy looking edges.

For the candy tray, I have used it a little differently leaving both ends open, which accommodates one more piece of candy. Closed the box holds 4 nuggets; open and used simply as a tray, it holds 5.


Here is a side view of the tray so you can see how I left the ends open and did not use the box portion.

I've adorned the candy tray with two more tickets, a tiny flower from the stitched circle die, and look -- this super pretty butterfly also from this new release, Chunky Jar Accessories, and tied the bag with matching twine.

Are you excited yet? Have you already ordered these stamps and dies? LOL Well, you still have a couple of blogs left to comment on, including our guest designer for this release, Barbara.

Today we are featuring this new die set, Treat Slider Box. SO.MANY.USES!!!!!! This one holds Hershey Nugget candies for Easter; possibly for the mail lady.

I love these pretty papers by Authentique. I got them a long time ago and had not yet found the perfect use for these gorgeous coral, aqua and brown colors.....until now! I think they are perfectly Easter-ish.

Also shown with the treat slider box is this little bunny die from another new set with this release!!! And so are the sentiments as well as the label on the slider top. The grass is a Quickutz die.

And since it IS Valentine's Day after all, here's another little treat using the slider box (note you do not have to use Hershey nuggets with it) as well as the awesome new doily die, tickets, and more! Happy Heart Day peeps!


Look at the adorable "flower wrap" for my lollipop from the doily die. So cute I can hardly stand it!

Ok, let's get to my project for today's sneak peek. Another knock-your-socks-off release you guys. If you missed yesterday's sneak peeks, you simply MUST go check them out here so you can start making your wish list. Although, if I were you, I'd just plan on ordering the whole release, cuz, well, you're gonna want it all anyway, you know you are! ;) Yeah, yeah, I say that every time, but have I steered you wrong yet!? -- ppfftt. I rest my case. LOL

Here's my yummy delicious tag which I totally love. As my brother would say when he was little, "if you love it so much, why don't you marry it." {snicker} The tag itself is a previous MCT release. Can you see the new products I used??? The ticket dies are to die for!! And there is also a whole set of coordinating stamps. LOVE!


Here are the tickets with one of the stamp messages, "SWEET". Cute cute cute! You'll see I also used Emma's famous rolled flower die.

 Here is a teensy peek at the new button die. Adorbs!

The paper I used already had this super neato blank tag area for me to stamp on. The sentiment, Friends, and keys are also from this release. Didn't I tell you?? WANT, dontcha!

There you go. Sneak peek day 2. Just as fab as sneak peek day 1, am I right or am I right?! Just wait till you see what we have tomorrow! ;)

Peachy Tuesday

Happy Tuesday! It's another Peachy day for me, how about you?! I'm loving the Valentine themed Peachy Keen release and have used it along with the the adorable jumping rope girl, one of my favorites, for today's first project. The sentiment is also from the January release. There is so much to choose from in this set!!


I've replaced her jump rope with heart balloons and used embroidery floss for her pigtails. Isn't she super sweet.

And, again, a wobble. I don't know what came over me, but suddenly everything seems so much more fun on a wobble. She's sure a cutie patootie when she wobbles. LOL


For my second project I used the adorable stinky skunk stamp from the Cheer Up set along with the January release set. The bow is from that set, and so cute with stickles added. I paper pieced her and used clear embossing powder for the lines and glossy accents for her eyes and nose. I also slightly modified her face.


The "I love you" sentiment is part of the new release as well, but the punny follow up I did myself and printed from my computer. :) I love using play on words! 


Here's a better look at the whole treat box. I guess people call them 'sour cream containers' but I have never seen sour cream come in one of these! It's cute anyway, and easy to make. Just roll a 6x4 piece of paper into a cylinder (I wrapped it around a toilet paper roll) and secure it so you have a tube. Squish one end together and glue it closed. Run the end through the crimper if you have one, if not, no big, it still works. :) Squish the other end of the tube in the opposite direction and run the end through the crimper but don't glue it shut. Fill it with treats or toys, then punch two holes and tie closed with twine or ribbon.

 

I'm really enjoying my time on the Peachy blog this month, and super enjoying my peachy stamps all over again. ♥ If you came here first, I encourage you to pop on over to the Peachy blog and see what's going on with those super talented ladies!
