MCT 46th Release Blog Hop: Fangtastic Day Card

by Veronica

Happy Release Day!!! Thanks so much for joining us on the MCT Release Blog Hop! You've probably hopped here from the Ruthie's blog. If not, head on over to Emma's blog to start from the very beginning. You'll be glad you did!

This weekend, our nephew, Christopher, will be turning 18 and I can't believe it! I still see him as the little boy who loved to dress up as Toy Story characters for Halloween. He has grown into such a wonderful young man and we are so proud of him! Move-in day for Eastern Michigan University is right around the corner and we know that he'll excel.

A few years ago, I handed Chris a handmade card for his birthday (as I usually do). He opened it and looked at me funny. It wasn't until later that day that he mentioned the Father's Day card I gave him for his birthday. The WHAT?!?! Apparently, when I grabbed a 'manly card' from my stash, I didn't check to make sure that it was indeed a birthday card. Ever since, I give him randomly themed cards for his birthday. This year, we're going with the Halloween theme!


I know he gets a kick out of the random cards each year. It's just a little something special we share. And who really cares what the card has on it when there's money inside, right? I know I wouldn't!

MCT Made In Minutes: Love You A Latte Card

by Veronica

Happy Monday!

This simple card uses several layers of dies to give it a more "designed" look.


MCT Products Used
All You Need Is Coffee (mug, mug heart pattern, heart stitches, "latte!")
Alpha Pack  (stamped "a")
Bunch of Fun Circle Dies (circle layer)

I just love using neutral tones with a pop of color on my projects. The coral card base isn't too bright to take away from the clean, neutral feel of the card.

That's it for me today - thanks for stopping by! Check out Emma's blog to see more Made In Minutes projects.

I hope you were inspired!
