Surprise! ~ Day 2 MCT 95th Edition Sneak Peeks

Hello, it's Gaylynn.  Here is a sneak peek of the My Creative Time 95th Edition release.

Sentiment:  Surprise!

This gift envelope was quick and easy to put together.  It is perfect for adding a mini note card, gift card or small treat.

I adhered the envelope together with extra tacky tape and then added the sentiment, heart and twine.  The paper is from an older planner of mine.  I love repurposing things, especially pretty pages like this one.

Holiday mailbox ~ Day 1 MCT 95th Edition Sneak Peeks

Hello, it's Gaylynn.  Here is a sneak peek of the My Creative Time 95th Edition release.

Sentiment:  May your season be merry and bright.

This is a mailbox shaped card, made from the mailbox gift card holder die by My Creative Time.  I love that it can be used as a card as well as a gift card holder.  I just die-cut the mailbox twice and adhered the panels together with a small score line.  For this design, I chose to add tiny letter envelopes to accent the mailbox.  I love how it turned out.

This card measures approximately 4 1/4" x 3".

Autumn foliage cards with a stamped card overlay.

Today for Technique Time for Unity, I am sharing a way to make your own card overlay with stamping and heat embossing.

Sentiment:  Thanks

To begin, I stamped using the Misti stamping tool and a VersaMark ink pad.  Then, I added copper color embossing powder over the VersaMark ink and heat set.  I also stamped and heat embossed a copper sentiment onto vellum.  A second card overlay was stamped with shades of ColorBox ink and then clear embossing powder was used.  The card overlay strips are approximately 1″ wide by 4 1/4″ long.  Finally, to finish, I layered everything and added tiny adhesive gems.

I made a quick video tutorial showing the process for this project.

Vintage holly jolly holiday girl card with letter tiles.

This is a vintage and distressed style holiday girl card with letter game tiles.

Sentiment:  Holly jolly.

How fun is it to have game tile stamps to create with?  I decided to make a holiday card with them along with the new distressed paper and a vintage girl.  Kraft color cardstock and neutral colors were used throughout.

I made a quick video tutorial showing the process for this project.

Birthday cupcake gift tag ~ MCT made in minutes

Today, the My Creative Time team is sharing projects made in minutes.  I needed a birthday gift tag, and so this cupcake tag was born.

This was quick and easy to do.  I used regular white cardstock for all of the die-cuts except for the brown cake section.  On the white cupcake areas, I added a touch of distress ink blending in green and orange shades.  With the added gold cording and ribbon, it was finished in about ten minutes.

Supplies:  My Creative Time Cute Cupcake Tag Die; Ranger distress oxide ink in peeled paint and spiced marmalade; makeup brush, gold cording, ribbon and double-sided tape.

Just a little somethings holiday gift card holder.

Today, the My Creative Time team is sharing gift card giving projects.  I wanted to chip away at holiday projects.  So, I made a gift card holder for Christmas.

Sentiment:  Just a little something.

This was quick and easy to put together.  I used patterned paper and the gift card holder die-cut.  For the sentiment, I stamped onto the Christmas tree die-cut.  To finish, I added some adhesive pearls and twine.  This is all ready for gift card holiday gift-giving.  This would be great to tuck inside a cash gift as well.

Supplies:  My Creative Time Pretty Gift Card Holder Die and Just A Little Something; Ranger archival ink in jet black, BasicGrey Aspen Frost paper, foam tape, adhesive pearls and twine.
