Made in Minutes

It's Made in Minutes over on the My Creative Time Blog. Our challenge is to design something that is "made in minutes" ~ with the products offered by My Creative Time, it's super fun and easy to do!!

I'm just loving the new bee stamp set and dies!!  This card maybe took me 12 minutes to complete. I layered pattern paper on black and then pop dotted white paper that I cut hexagons out of on left onto the pattern paper.  I stamped the sentiment and "bee" tail right onto white cardstock and then pop dotted a die cut bee to card front.  Super easy & super cute!!


After stamping the bee die cut, I used Wink of Stella yellow to color in the bee body and then Wink of Stella clear glitter pen for the wings ~ the shine really added to the little guy!

Day 4 ~ My Creative Time Sneak Peek

It's our last day of  My Creative Time Sneaky Peeks, and we've got three GREAT ones to share with you today:   "Live Love Bark", "Loyal Friends" and "My Kids have Paws".  If you are a dog lover, you are going to LOVE these!

I personally don't have a dog, just a cat that thinks he's a dog!!  My friends and parents have dogs so I was inspired to create this dog bone treat jar and will give it to one of my friends ~ she will love it!!

 Love the big bone die which comes in the "Live Love Bark" stamp set ~ I added some white gel pen dots to it.  The sentiment is from the stamp set "Loyal Friends".
 Here I embossed the stamp "Live Love Bark" and then added a couple of paw die cuts from "Loyal Friends" set.  These sets really do go together nicely!!

Day 3 ~ Sneak Peek for MCT Release

It's day 3 of My Creative Time's 33rd Release!!  Today we are sneaking 3 new sets ~ "Stitched Honey Comb Dies" ~ "Bee Happy" Stamp Set ~ "Stitched Bees & Beehive Dies".  All I can say is "ADORABLE"!!

When I first saw the Stitched Honey Comb dies, I immediately thought of little note cards and how cute they would be adding the bees and sentiment stamps to them!  So away I went and created this little box note card set. I used the large Honeycomb Die for the card base.
 I created the box from my silhouette to fit these little note cards perfectly!
 Made some envelopes from the We R Memory Envelope Punch Board to accommodate these cards.
 Aren't these note cards cute??  Same simple pattern but different bees and sentiments. So fun to make!

Today is the first day of sneaks for this months My Creative Time's new release.
We are showcasing 2 new sets ~ "You are Fabulous" stamp set and "Happy Thoughts" stamp set which also includes coordinating dies.  I made a layout and a card with these sets.  Love the new pattern stamps that are included in the "You are Fabulous" set which I used on the stars and circle dies.  This is just a start of this awesome new release!!!

I cut out the "Happy" die which is from "Happy Thoughts" set and then stamped the "Fourth of July!" right on the background paper which is also from this set ~ Makes a great title!!

Here is a close up of the stamp patterns I did on the die cut stars. Love these to give a slight pattern to the dies without cutting from pattern papers!
