MCT Tag It Tuesday: Celebrate Baby Tag

There is something in the water on my street. I'm the SIXTH one to be pregnant this year!!! Yep, we have a lot of celebrating to do around here!

This weekend, I'll be attending my across-the-street neighbor, MaCara's, baby shower. She's 13 weeks ahead of me in her pregnancy and it has been such a blessing having her around. We go for walks together and I love being able to ask her questions. Did you feel (insert wacky pregnancy symptom) when you were (insert number) weeks? Is this normal? 

MaCara and her husband decided to not find out the baby's gender, so their theme is gray, yellow and chevron. This tag will adorn their gift basket I'm making them.

MCT Products Used
Tag Dies (yellow tag layer)
Tag Die Layers (white tag layer)
Build a Chevy Background (chevron background stamp)
Classy Girl Accessories (baby carriage)
Chalkboard Birthday ("Celebrate" banner stamp)
Bunch of Fun Circle Dies (acetate circle layer)

To get the baby carriage wheels to be a different color than the carriage itself, I simply cut it out twice (once in gray, once in yellow), cut the wheels off of the yellow layer and adhered that on top of the gray layer. The "Celebrate" banner was colored with my Copics for added dimension and then I fussy-cut it out. No die here, folks!

That's it for me today. Check out Emma's blog to see more great tags from the Design Team.

I hope you were inspired!

MCT Favorite Die of the Month: #TheSkyIsTheLimit Card

I remember hearing my aunts and uncles gasp in surprise when they'd see me after a period of time. "Wow! You've gotten so BIG since I last saw you!" I remember thinking it was pretty funny. To me, time was moving so slowly and I couldn't wait to grow up. Surely, I wasn't that much bigger than last time.

But as an aunt myself (and soon-to-be-mommy), I marvel at how fast time has gone and how BIG my nieces and nephews have gotten. This past weekend, my second-oldest nephew, Chris, graduated from high school. Wow! 

This card was created just for him using June's Die of the Month and will be given to him at his graduation party.

MCT 43rd Release Blog Hop: Scoops of Love Card

Welcome, welcome to another FABULOUS Release Blog Hop with My Creative Time. You've probably hopped here from Ruthie's blog, but if not, head on over to Emma's blog to start from the tippity-top!

Today, I'm showcasing the new set, You Make Life Sweet. With lots of sweet layers, this set lets you build your own treat! What's better than that?

I added a little heart "cherry" to the top scoop from the Seasonal Greetings set. Keeping a large white space, really helps the patterned scoops to pop off the card. And I'm sure the many layers of pop dots help that, too!

The first 150 shoppers will receive this set FREE!

MCT 43rd Edition Sneak Peek: Chalkboard Birthday Bag

Gift cards are such an easy (and appreciated) gift to give, right? But it can be boring just shoving them in a card - even if the card is super cute. My Creative Time has so many awesome dies to use to package your gift cards, and Emma has added another!

Of course, this sweet little paper bag is good for more than just gift cards (jewelry, small trinkets) and I just love how cute some tissue paper looks peeking out of the top.

This die needs to be cut out twice and taped together to make the bag. Emma made the holes for the handles the perfect size to add some jumbo eyelets to finish it off. And if the bag wasn't cute enough, this set comes with some awesome chalkboard inspired sentiments.

MCT Made In Minutes: Party Animal Birthday Card

Hey there! It's another Made In Minutes day with the MCT design team. If you've ever crafted with me, you know that NOTHING is ever "made in minutes" by my hands. I'm not a very efficient crafter. But theoretically, this card could be made in minutes if I chose to make it again. Does that count?

This card was sent to my Grandma last week for her birthday. See, Grandma? I told you that your card hadn't been posted on my blog yet! Tada! I used several MCT dies to give this card dimension and texture. The modern color scheme really make it pop.

MCT Products Used
Let's Celebrate ("PARTY" dies)
Stitched Party Dies (banners)
You Had Me At Meow (cat)
Birthday Buddies (hat)
Alpha Pack ("ANIMAL")
Bunch of Fun Circle Dies (wavy circle layer)

My little flufferbottom, Harley

I colored the kitty with my Copics and tried my best to make him look like my own kitty, Harley.

That's it for me today! You can see more projects that you can Make In Minutes on Emma's blog.

I hope you were inspired!
