MCT Manly Monday – Gift Tag

Posted on July 26, 2020 by Ginger

Hello everyone! It’s time for another Manly Monday on the MCT blog. For my project I decided to create a tag.

I used some papers from Graphic 45 for my projects. The base of the tag uses the Tag Dies and the Tag Die Layers.
Here’s a closer look at the front of the tag.

The sentiment came from the Especially For You stamp set. I stamped the sentiment onto the Rectangle Frame Dies and Rectangle Frame Die Layers.

I added some fun metal gears from my stash as well as a cute chipboard element from the Graphic 45 collection.

There you have it! Make sure you check out the MCT blog for more inspiration.

MCT Tag it Tuesday – Welcome Little One

MCT Tag it Tuesday – Welcome Little One

Hello everyone! It’s Tag it Tuesday over on the MCT blog. I’ve been going through some of my paper stash and came across the sweet Prima Heaven Scent papers so I decided to use it to create my tag. The base of my tag is using the Tag Dies and the Tag Die Layers. This tag set is one of the first tag dies I purchased. It’s one of my absolute favorite tag dies! Here’s a look at my tag.

I die cut the base of my tag out using some ivory cardstock, then used the pretty pattern paper to die cut the layer. I love that both the base tag and the layer tag have stitching. I wanted to use the cute bunny image from the paper so I just used the tag layer die so I could get the stitching on the sides. My sweet sentiment comes from the Sweet Little Smile set. Here’s a closer look at the front.

I decided to add a sweet little bow to the top of my tag so I used the Fun Size Pretty Bow Die. I cut the bow using the same ivory cardstock that I used for the base of my tag. For a final touch I had some pretty little bling that coordinated with the paper collection that I used.

There you have it! I think this tag would look lovely attached to a gift or tucked into an envelope.

MCT Just Cards – Just Because

MCT Just Cards – Just Because

Hello everyone! Today it’s all about cards over on the MCT blog. Here’s the card that I created.

I used the new rectangle frame die layers to cut the green patterned paper. For the pretty banner shape I used the tag die layers. I die cut and colored the floral image from the You Are Cherished set. I wanted a white background for my floral image so I used the pretty circle layers dies. Here’s a closer look at the front of my card.

I like to finish off the inside of my cards using some strips of the patterned paper.

I finished the front of the card with a sweet little bow and clear sequins. There you have it. Make sure you check out the MCT blog for more inspiration.

MCT Just Cards – Holly Jolly Christmas

Hello everyone! Today it is “Just Cards” over on the MCT blog. I am continuing with the Christmas theme for my projects. Here is the pretty Christmas card I created.

I used the Tall Frame Dies and the Tall Frame Layers for my card. The pretty paper is an older collection from my stash called Santa Baby by Frank Garcia for Prima. The sentiment came from the No Peeking set. I stamped the sentiment using Tim Holtz Distress Ink Victorian Velvet. Here’s a closer look at the front of the card.

I use the same Tall Frame Layer die for the inside of my card.
