MCT 12 Days of Christmas- Day 8!

Good day friends! Still MCT hopping? I hope so cus we're only on day 8 of our MCT 12 Days of Christmas and it's a great one! If you've arrived here from Miss LeAnne's wonderful blog, then you are in the right place! If not, then start HERE at Emma's blog for her daily dose of Christmas inspiration and another fabulous GIVEAWAY!

So, I just can't seem to get away from TREES lately, but I'm not sorry! This one was super fun and I'm excited to give it away to my neighbors who are even sweeter than it is!
I was encouraged by my new crafting friend Heather to enter this tree into the Dolce Stamps and Cards Thursday Challenge to GET YOUR SHINE ON! Thanks Heather :)

PEPPERMINT PATTY CANDY TREE

Emma's All Around Christmas and Mixed Holiday Sentiments combined with the Scalloped & Stitched Circle Die set decorated my peppermint patty's to perfection!

Here's a similar tree I made a couple years ago with mini Snickers which looked cute too, but I love my peppermint one more cus the circle stamped images and sentiments make it even more special I think. 

I can't locate the original tutorial I used for them and these are so easy, I just  made this one from memory--but I did find THIS TUTORIAL which should work fine for anyone who wants to make this project and I sure hope you do!!! *Update: I found the Better Homes & Gardens CANDY TREE TUTORIAL I originally used and I'm sharing it too cus she there's more great ideas for your candy treess--like Lifesavers, Sweet Tarts and a fab idea from one of my comments today mini Twix bars!!! All sorts of sweet inspiration huh! :)

MCT 12 Days of Christmas- Day 2!

Hello and welcome to Day 2 of our My Creative Time 12 Days of Christmas blog hop!  Thank you for all of your wonderful comments yesterday! If you have arrived from LeAnne's blog then you are in the right place! If NOT, start at Emma's blog HERE to see the awesome Christmas treat holder she made from a chinese take out box, OMG it's so sassy and stylish! And wait til you see today's GIVEAWAY--3 MCT stamp sets (that's right THREE!) and a wonderful die too! Emma is so super generous!!!

Today I'm sharing a couple of shaped cards using Emma's sentiments, which always seem to coordinate beautifully with endless Cricut images.  The heart shaped card is from Wild Card, sentiment from MCT Mixed Holiday Sentiments.  The present shaped card is from Sweet Treats and sentiment from MCT All Around Christmas.  I find shaped cards to be quick and easy and lots of fun to embellish.  I enjoyed making these holiday cards so much :)
