Birthday or anniversary hearts card. ~ MCT Made In Minutes

Today, the My Creative Time team is sharing "made in minutes" projects.

I decided to make use of a few leftover die-cut pieces to speed up the card making process.

Sentiment:  Wishing you a year of happiness & love.

This one was made in less than ten minutes.  I had a leftover kraft color trim panel and hearts in vellum and white.  I die-cut some leaves and a label panel and added a stamped sentiment.
This card is great for a birthday or anniversary, I think.

Supplies:  My Creative Time Vintage Stitched Label Dies, More Scalloped Heart Dies, More Stitched Edges, Stitched Sweathearts & XOXO Dies, Summer Vibes, cardstock, vellum and adhesive gems.

Christmas holiday believe handmade gift tag.

Today, the My Creative Time team is sharing various holiday projects.

I decided to make another Christmas gift tag, because you can never have too many of those.

Sentiment:  Merry Christmas.  Believe.

This was easy to do.  I just die-cut tags in layers, cut the embellishments and stamped a tiny sentiment.  Red adhesive gems added the perfect finish.
The thing that I like most about creating with MCT is the ease of layering the die-cuts that Emma creates and the selection of clear stamps that she offers.

Supplies:  My Creative Time Holiday Tags Stamp & Die Set, Chunky Stitched Tag Dies, Teeny Tag Layering Dies, Teeny Tag Holidays, cardstock and adhesive gems.

Today is our 3rd day of our 5 Days of Christmas! We all will be showcasing some quick and EASY cards!

Sentiment:  Thinking of you at Christmas.

This card was easy to put together.  I pre-stamped a wreath with different ink colors, die-cut a trim piece and a doily and then stamped the sentiment.  This could easily be mass produced by preparing the sections in multiples and then assembling everything at the end.
This is below one ounce for mailing, which for me is a bonus.
