MCT 40th Edition Sneaky Peek #4

GOOD MORNING my sweet friends & welcome to our last day of sneaky peeks from our 40th edition release~! Today we have my FAVORITE peek for you!

We are showcasing 2 new items! They are "Milk Carton Die" & "Mini Chalkboard Tags".

OH MY GOODNESS…..These last 2 last are SOO MUCH FUN to work with! You can make the CUTEST treat for ANYONE & for ANY OCCASION in just minutes!

This is what I strive for when designing products for all of you! I like to put myself in "YOUR" shoes & want to create something SUPER CUTE & EASY by just using a few products & be SUPER HAPPY with the end result!

For my first milk carton, the 2 layering tags you see are including w/the Mini Chalkboard Tag set along w/14 coordinating stamps! As you can see, ALL I did was add my Scalloped Stitched Rosette Die to the from of the carton, then added a brad that I had in my stash! Then I just attached my tag & closed it all up using a cute mini clothespin! Last I just tied a bow using yellow hemp twine onto the clothespin!

For my next carton, I thought it would be fun to make a little window! So before I assembled this, I grabbed one of my flower dies from my Stitched Pretty Flowers & Leaves Dies & ran it through my vagabond to add a little window so you can see the candy inside! Before I adhered it together, I added a piece of acetate to the window so the candy won't fall out! Last I used heat embossed the chickie & the tag onto black card stock, cut them out using the coordinating dies & THAT'S IT! You have a perfect little treat for that someone special! If you want you can just put maybe a kraft color twine on here so you can give this to a boy OR girl! For the tag, there is a hole at the top, I just punched a hole through the milk carton & pulled the tag w/the carton together w/pink twine & made a simple bow!

Lastly, I thought I would add a few sequins & called it a day! ;)

Here is my video for you today!

Okay, you are in for a TREAT w/my FABULOUS team & their AMAZING projects using these 2 new sets! We have our guest joining w/us again today! Don't forget to click on each blog to see MORE AND to leave some bloggy LOVE! ;)

MCT 40th Edition Sneaky Peeks #3

GOOD MORNING my sweet friends & welcome to our 3rd day of our 40th edition sneaky peeks!

I am just IN LOVE w/today's sneak! Today we are showcasing a new die called "Hello Frame Dies".

This is a SUPER fun die that you can make a little shaker card with or just use it by itself layered on to our Stitched 3x4 Journal die! YEP, I designed this die to coordinate w/our existing Stitched 3x4 Journal Die! This new die set would make a SUPER CUTE set of notecards as a gift for someone!

I used my Grainy Wood Background stamp & heat embossed it w/my new FAVE Silver Pearl Ranger Embossing Powder! After I embossed it, then I did a little watercoloring! :) My FAVORITE part about creating this card was cutting out the die on the foam! YEP, I cut it out once on white foam then a 2nd time on black foam! I just LOVED the way it looked & I also added some clear wink of stella to it as well! The sequins inside the shaker part are 4mm Sparkling Clear sequins from my FAVE Pretty Pink Posh! Before I adhered the hello frame onto my base of the card, I used my set Fun Variety on the Inside & Out & stamped "crafty friend!" at the bottom of my card! Last just added a few more sequins on the outside! I used the 4mm sequins & cut a couple of the the 8mm sequins to make them look like they are tucked under the frame die!

Here is my video for you today! :)

Now onto the BEST design team in the whole world! ;) Don't forget to click on each blog to see more & leave them some LOVE! ;)

MCT 40th Edition Sneaky Peek #2

GOOD MORNING & WELCOME to our SECOND day of sneaky peeks for our 40th Edition Release! I hope you are ALL ready to see some AMAZING sneaks this week because my AWESOME team & myself have LOTS to share again today….so let's get started! ;)

Today my AMAZING team & myself are showcasing a new ADORABLE set called: "You Had Me At Meow!" This DEFINITELY has been a HUGE request set & I am HAPPY I FINALLY have it for you!

For my card, I tried to keep it simple! I used some of the images from the set to heat embossed them to the right of my card! Then I just cut a strip of wood grain pattern paper, then adhered it to a red card stock that I used my Fun Stitched Edge Dies to make a scallop. I adhered them both onto my card, then stamped the sentiments. Then I stamped & used the coordinating die to make my CUTIE kitty cat. I colored her in using my copic markers! The last 2 things I did was add hearts from my 4x4 Journal Die & More, then used my clear wink of stella brush pen to color her hair bow & her collar!

Here is my video for you today!

Now onto my AMAZING team! Don't forget to visit each blog have to leave some bloggy LOVE!!! :)

MCT 40th Edition Sneaky Peek #1

GOOD MORNING & WELCOME to our FIRST day of sneaky peeks for our 40th Edition Release! I hope you are ALL ready to see some AMAZING sneaks this week because my AWESOME team & myself have LOTS to share….so let's get started! ;)

First up, we have our FREEBIE stamp!

"FREEBIE STAMP"

Wishing you…

For our "Freebie" stamp for this release, we are giving away this ADORABLE stamp "Wishing You" to the FIRST 150 shoppers! YEP, you heard that right, this stamp will go to the FIRST 150 shoppers for FREE! You do NOT have to add it in your cart, my shipping crew & myself will automatically include it in your pkg, ONLY to the first 150 shoppers! IF you happen to come through AFTER the 150th shopper, no worries because this stamp will be available for sale!

I know there will be questions on whether YOU made the first 150?

AFTER the 150 shoppers come through, then you will see this set available for PURCHASE along w/the new release items!

Here is a simple card that I made using our freebie stamp called "Wishing you…". I did a little watercoloring using some Tim Holtz distressed inks!

Next up, we are showcasing one of the new sets called "To a Cute Little Chickie!" This ADORABLE set includes a total of 17 stamps & 7 coordinating dies!

For this card, I stamped my chickies using black Ranger Archival ink, used the coordinating dies & did some watercoloring! This sentiment is one of the new sentiments in this set as well! This card was made SO QUICKLY, I was surprised myself! ;) lol…. I just layered everything onto some of my existing dies I have out right now! They are the Stitched Honeycomb Dies & the Stitched Rectangular Dies & More!

For this next card, I "TRIED" & I really mean…"TRIED" a watercolor technique that Miss Dawn with Wplus9 did & of course, hers is 100 times BETTER than mine! lol….. She called it a "vintage storybook" watercoloring look! Well, like I said, I TRIED it here & it came out "okay!" I just didn't want to throw it away because I had practiced 3 times & this was probably the best one! CLEARLY I need to practice this MORE because I just LOVE the soft look! I watercolored using some distressed inks by Tim Holtz! The reason the stamp is not that crisp in this card is because I used the Black Soot Tim Holtz ink pad & I stamped the images onto a piece of paper twice, then the 3rd time I stamped it onto my watercolor paper! After I watercolored, I used a thin paintbrush & just outlined the images using the black in again! Apparently, it's supposed to NOT be perfect! ;) This is another sentiment that is in this set too! I just layered everything onto some of my existing dies I have out now which are the Bunch of Circles Dies & the Stitched Rectangular Dies & More! Both of these dies will be back in stock in 2 weeks. I hope you all like it!

Here is my video for you today!

Now onto my AMAZING team! First up, we have a VERY TALENTED "Guest Designer" joining us today! She is Miss Jo w/Paperdrama Blog! Don't forget to visit her blog along w/my AWESOME team to see what they have for you & leave some bloggy love!!! :)
