3D Wednesday with My Creative Time - Tag and Boo Boo Bunnies

 Good Morning and Welcome to 3D Wednesday with My Creative Time.  Today I made a Bucket of Boo Boo Bunnies and a Tag to match.  These washcloth bunnies usually hold an ice cube in the back but I put an Easter Egg in there instead to hold some treats.  My twins will be giving these to their classmates for the spring parties.  You can see a video with instructions for the Bunnies here.
I used My Creative Time's "Happy Hunting" stamp set for this project.  The tag is from the Cricut Cartridge  Wrap It Up.  I used my Gypsy to hide the flower cut so I could add my own.




Supplies I Used:
Happy Hunting Stamp Set and Scallop and Stitched Circle dies  -  My Creative Time
Wrap It Up Cricut Cartridge for Tag cut at 5.75" with bloom hidden
Lime Twist, Life of the Party  -  My Minds Eye
Honeydew Flowers  -  Prima
Honeydew Twine  -  The Twinery
Peeled Paint Distress Ink
Crop-A-Dial and Eyelet
Yellow Stickles and Glossy Accents
Crinkle Ribbon  -  Prairie Bird Boutique
Copic Markers  -  E33,  0, Y02, Y08, R00, RV02, RV23, R27, C1

I hope you enjoyed this post and you find some inspiration here!  Thank you for visiting!  Please go over to Emma's blog to see the projects the Design Team has created for you!  Have a wonderful day!
Love and Hugs,
Cathryn :)

Egg Basket Card using UTEE

Hey There!  Today I made a card with some of My Creative Time's latest releases.  (Spring Chicken Backgrounds and Hello Spring with egg layering dies).  I used Ultra Thick Embossing Enamel (UTEE) on the handle and edge of the basket to make it very shiny.
I cut out two of the baskets at 5" from Doodlecharms (since there are no layers for it), cut off the handle and top and bottom edges.
I took the pieces and pushed them into my Versamark Watermark pad, then dipped them in the UTEE and heated them up with my heat gun.  I did this 3 times to get a nice thick, shiny finish.
I also used the Versamark pad with one of MCT's new flower background stamps to stamp the body of the basket.



Supplies I Used:
Doodlecharms Cricut Cartridge
Spring Chicken Backgrounds and Hello Spring stamp sets  -  My Creative Time
(Hello Spring included layering Egg dies)
UTEE embossing powder
Versamark Watermark Stamp Pad and Heat Gun
Playful Pink Paper Pad for purple gingham  -  Martha Stewart
Purple Polka Dotted paper  -  Bazzil Basics
Fine Linen and White Cardstock  -  Papertrey Ink
Rich Cocoa, rosebud and Bahama Blue Ink Pads  -  Memento
Copics G21 and Y17
Orchid Twine  -  The Twinery
Green, Cotton Candy and Baby Blue Stickles
Celebrate It Ribbon  -  Michaels
Vintage Photo Distress Ink

This week there is a linky party going on over at My Creative Time.  Emma has 3 Favorite stamps of the month!  The three sets she chose were "Color Me Happy", "Turn That Frown Upside Down" and "Wow So Many Candles"! These 3 stamp sets will be on sale until Friday, March 2nd at 11:59pm PST!

Thanks for stopping by!  Enjoy your day whatever you're up to!!!
Love and Hugs,

3-D Wednesday with My Creative Time - Pillow Box with Scallop die Cutout

Good Morning and Welcome to another 3D Wednesday with My Creative Time.  Today I used the Scallop and  Stitched Circle dies,  Happy Hunting and Hello Spring stamp sets.
I used the Scallop circle die to cut a window in the pillow box, then attached some plastic to the inside.  The pillow box I used is from the Easter 2010 cartridge.  I used my Gypsy to hide the bunny cut out on it.  I think there are several cartridges that have a pillow box if you do not own this one.


Supplies I Used:
My Creative Time Stamps and dies
Cricut Cartridge Easter 2010 for box cut at 6"
Pixie-Licious paper  -  Cosmo Cricket
Grafix Clear Plastic sheet  -  Michaels
Dusty Concord Distress Ink
Lavender Stickles, Copic Markers and Score Tape
Celebrate It Ribbon  -  Michaels

Thank you for coming by.  Please go check out Emma and the Design Teams projects over at My Creative Time.  Have a wonderful day.
