My Creative Time Thrifty Thursday

Hi crafty friends & happy Thursday!

Today over at the My Creative Time blog, it is

Thrifty Thursday!

This is the day where we show you projects made with scraps, leftovers or recycled items.

I have a container where I keep all of my scrap die cuts in. As I was going through it, I came across these balloons and thought they would be perfect for a quick and easy birthday card. You can never have too many of those right?

Everything I used (other than the sequins) was scraps, including my card base! I love when that happens!! I used one of the greetings from the Tag Die Layers and die cut that out of my white layer. I then cut it out again, using a piece of scrap pink cardstock, so that I could inlay the pink letters into the white. My balloon scraps came from the Stitched Party Dies set. I used some white embroidery thread that was left over from another project and just colored it black with a sharpie and then attached them to my balloons. I popped up my balloons with some foam adhesive and then added a few random sequins and voila! A super quick and cute birthday card!

Thrifty Thursday with My Creative Time

Hi crafty friends & happy Thursday!

Thrifty Thursday!

This is the day where we show you projects made with scraps, leftovers or recycled items.

For my project, I decided to make some festive little lollipop holders for the 4th!

Wouldn't these look cute for a table decor for those 4th of July cookouts/picnics?  

All of the cardstock and patterned papers were from my scraps! Yay!!

I used the Stitched Lollipop Holder die, the Scallop & Stitched Circle Die and the small circle from the Bunch of Fun Circle Dies. The star and sentiment both came from the All Around Holidays set. I added a little bit of curling ribbon to the lollipop sticks and voila! Easy project that can easily be mass produced and a great way to use of some of those scraps!!

I am also linking up my project for the challenge over at

Thrifty Thursday!

This is the day where we show you projects made with scraps, leftovers or recycled items.

I decided to make a card that I can send to someone just to say hello and to let them know that I am thinking about them. 

My entire card, except for the card base and bling, was made using only scraps! I love when I am able to use up some of my ever growing scrap pile!! I used one of the edges from the Fun Stitched Edges to create a edge to my long strip of patterned paper. I used the Stitched 3x4 Journal die to create the polka dot layer. I cut out some flowers and leaves from the Stitched Pretty Flowers & Leaves dies and attached them to the bottom corner of my card. The typewriter and greeting came from the Once Upon A Time stamp set and then I used the Typewriter Die to cut it out. I added a bow and also some some bling to the top corner as well as to my flower centers and voila! A pretty little card that hopefully puts a smile on someone's face when they receive it :)

Hi crafty friends & happy Thursday!

Today over at the My Creative Time blog, it is

Thrifty Thursday!

This is the day where we show you projects made with scraps, leftovers or recycled items.

I decided to make a little Easter treat holder using a recycled Starbucks frappe bottle and a little matching gift card.

To make my bottle, I simply removed all the labels and then thoroughly cleaned it. Once it was completely dry from being washed, it was time to decorate. I wrapped my bottle with some patterned paper and thin strips of the green card stock that was left over from the layout that I did last week. (You can see that HERE). Once that was done, I cut out that cute little chick from the Hello Chickie! set using some scraps of card stock and adhered it to the front of my bottle using some foam adhesive.  For the neck of my bottle, I used some scrap lace and then added a tulle bow.  For my 3x3 card, I cut out the base using some scrap white cardstock and then decorated it with more of my scraps. I used the Curly Label Die & the Stitched Curly Label Die to frame my sentiment from the To My Best Peep stamp set. I added another tulle bow and Voila!

For the lid of my bottle, I used the Scallop & Stitched Circle Dies to help cover up the logo. I got my greeting from the Happy Hunting Stamp Set and the cute little Easter Egg is from the Hello Chickie Stamp Set.

I think this will make a cute little gift for someone and it was completely made from scraps and recycled items (except for the tulle and adhesive)! Gotta love that!

My Creative Time Thrifty Thursday!!

Hi friends!

Happy Thursday!!

Today over at the My Creative Time blog, it is Thrifty Thursday!

This is the day that the DT creates projects made from scraps or recycled items. 

I decided to pull out some scraps and make a fun little birthday card.

All of my patterned papers as well as the white and kraft cardstock were from my scrap pile. 

For my card, I used the Stitched Capture Frame with Arrow die set to create a little frame for my card front. To create my little scene, and to get the most out of my scraps, I paper pieced that cute little branch, owl and balloons from the Birthday Buddies stamp set.  My little banner was cut out using the 4x4 Journal Die + More set. My bow was also made from some ribbon scraps!! To finish off my bow, I added a little button from the Stitched Button Die set and a little twine bow. 

I even had enough of the scraps left over to create another banner to put on the inside of my card:

The Happy Birthday also came from the Birthday Buddies stamp set. 

I had a lot of fun making this card, not to mention I was so happy to be able to use up some of those scraps that I always seem to keep :)
