Sneak peek Day #4 My Creative Time!!! (Giveaway!!!)

Today is sneak peek Day #4 at My Creative Time. It's their 30th release...and it's so awesome!!! Today I am showcasing the new Tag gift pocket die and the Fun Gift pocket sentiments stamps. The new gift card die fits perfectly on MCT tag dies...love it!! You don't have to use it as a gift card holder though...you can use it as a cute little pocket. Do you ever not have a card for a celebration...but you have a cute tag?...You can just pop one on the front of a card base...and voila...super cute easy card...fast. Everyone who knows me knows that I love to decorate the inside of my cards. Well, I think I've just found the quickest way to do that. I used the new Stitched bracket die to cut matching paper and decorate the inside of the card...I just used one as I used the other gift pocket die on the bottom...but on future cards...I would just use one on the top...and one on the bottom. I also used  the fab rosette die again as a border...lovin' using it this way!!!Click HERE to check out the other DT projects at the My Creative Time blog. Thanks for stopping by...Lee-Ann :)
