MCT 48th Release Blog Hop: Best Friend Tag

Hey there! It's Release Day at My Creative Time - woohoo!!! You've probably hopped here from Ruthie's blog. If not, head on over to Emma's blog to start from the very beginning.

Today, I'm featuring the FREE Bestie Die that the first 150 shoppers will receive with their purchase. I've cut the "ie" off and paired it with a stamp and die from Friendships are Forever (also new today) to create a simple little tag for my BFF, Stephanie. She's getting married in April, so this tag will either adorn her bridal shower gift or a special little gift on her Big Day.

I used the tag dies from Holiday Tags Stamps & Dies for the base and kept the tag in her wedding colors: navy and lime green. I added a few little Stickles drops for some extra sparkle.

***Freebie Stamp & Die***
For our freebie this release, we are giving away this adorable "Bestie" die to the FIRST 150 shoppers!
You do NOT have to add it in your cart. If you are one of the first 150 shoppers, Emma and her shipping crew will automatically include it in your package! If you order AFTER the 150th shopper, this stamp set will be available for purchase! If you see this set available in the store, that means that 150 shoppers have already come through. No exceptions will be made. Also, this freebie is not a part of the 47th Edition Bundle and is only sold separately.

MCT Thrifty Thursday: #love Card

I have a confession to make: I love hashtags! It's so much fun to create witty, sometimes silly hashtags to add to my Facebook status updates or even just to send in a text to friends. For today's Thrifty Thursday, I've used all scraps (except for the card base) to create this #love card for a friends' bridal shower.

I used the 'instacam' dies from Picture Perfect for the camera and mimicked the shape with 4 x 4 Journal Die in the background. I also mimicked the camera stripes on the background for added color.

To create my own 'hashtags' on the kraft layer, I used the Alpha Pack stamp set and stamped each word individually. (You might notice #Blake as the first one - that will be the bride's married name.)

The "#love" uses the Social Media Dies and Family Is Everything.

Thanks so much for stopping by today. Check out the MCT blog for more Thrifty Thursday projects.

I hope you were inspired!

MCT 34th Edition Sneak Peek: Typed Birthday & Golden Grain Congrats Card

It's Release Week at My Creative Time again! Today we're showcasing a few new items, so I have two projects to share.

This first card is for my mother-in-law who will be celebrating her birthday in just a few weeks. It features the new Fun Letter Background and Large Cloud Bubble Edge Die (you asked, Emma answered).

My Creative Time products work seamlessly together. It's so easy to combine previous releases with new products! I've done that here with the Typewriter Stamp and Die and banner from the Stitched Party Dies. The sentiment was made using individual words from Chocolate Greetings. For the period puncuation mark at the end, I simply inked up the 'dot' of an "i" and stamped it after "birthday".

My second project is a card for my cousin's upcoming bridal shower.

This card showcases another new background stamp available with this Release on Friday: Grainy Wood Background. I stamped it here in Versamark and heat embossed it in gold. The dots are from Build a Pretty Flower and were stamped in Versamark and heat embossed in clear for a subtle, but shiny effect.

This card also uses flowers from Build a Pretty Flower, the Pretty Butterflies Dies (Click here to see an example of how I built my butterfly) and a small flower from Pretty Spring Wreaths. The sentiment comes from Vintage Sentiments and is stamped on a a flag that was modified using the die from Vintage Stitched Label Dies.

***Sneak Peek giveaway!***
We will be giving away the sets we are showcasing each day to ONE lucky winner! Each winner for the day will be announced the following day on the My Creative Time blog.
