For today's project we were asked to make a 3-D project and to use any Cricut cartridge that we wanted to use. For my project I made one of these cute baskets. I've seen a lot of them around and wanted to try one for a while. I saw one just last week on Kristal Andrew's site (Getting Cricky) along with a simple photo tutorial and finally made one. It was super easy and I'm certain I will be making more of these. And The crepe paper ruffles were not an original idea. I have seen them on Kimberly's (My Craft Spot's) blog.
Here are a couple more angles:
Don't Emma's Polka Dot SURPRISE! stamps look beautiful with the polka dot paper? I LOVE this set!
And here is a view of a cupcake with a 'Mickey' on top.

ReplyDeleteLove your basket, the trim around the top make them fancy.

ReplyDeleteMy favorite set of Emmas stamps is "My favorite Sayings" Because I love to craft while drinking coffee and eating chocolate. I also think the little coffee cup is a great embellishment stamp. My second favorite would be "pain, Pain Go Away" Because I love how she incorporated graphics with sentiments
ReplyDeleteWow! This basket is so cool! I'm definitely going to have to try one. I love how you decorated it - so cute and cheery! I'll miss being on Emma's DT with you, Glora!

ReplyDeleteGlora this week has been so much fun. I am sad that it will end tomorrow. I have been so inspired with all your projects. I LOVE this one. I keep seeing these around as well and I think I am going to give it a shot for Emma's challenge. :)
ReplyDeleteI don't think I can pick a favorite one I love them all, and own 12 of them already. I can tell you that my favorite font is the one that is on I Believe In Leprechauns. I will own them all very soon.

Right now my favorite is Emma's new "Follow Your Dreams" set. Even though it's a graduation set, a lot of the sentiments can be used for other things. They are very inspirational sentiments. I think Emma did a great job with this set (well, really all her sets). Thanks!

ReplyDeleteI am totally in love with ALL of Emma's stamps but if I had to pick just one I'd pick "Just a little note to say". I think I would get the most use out of this one. I also love the font she picked and the way she chose to bold some of the sentiment. Thanks for the chance to win and have a great day!

I checked out My Creative Time's Online Store and...I couldn't choose just ONE set! So..my favourite sets are: 1) Paper Princess...for one, my blog is titled Paper Bag Princess Paper Crafting and more...the sentiments are so cute and I can really relate to them and the font is great, too. 2) You had me at Chocolate..again, great sentiments and beautiful fonts. 3) You're my Best Buddy...I love the sentiments and font and it's sooo hard to find a great Father's Day or Dad stamp set and I think this one is great!

ReplyDeleteI love all of Emma's stamps but my favorite sets are Turn that Frown Upside Down because I love the sentiments and I'm always looking for ways to get people to smile. My other favorite is Just a Note to Say. I love the font, the sentiments, and the size of this set.

Oh my another AWESOME project! I LOVE it! I LOVE the shape, the polka dots, the fringe and of course the STAMPS! Emma rocks! I always tell her the stamp gods were listening to me because she came out with them about a month or 2 after! I love your Mickey topper too! This is looks like such a fun project to do!
ReplyDeleteI am a follower of Emma's... again Happy Birthday! Still loving that project and all the details!
ReplyDeleteOh this is so not fair! I LOVE them all! I love all of the ones with her signature fonts!I think she said in a video about her font and I couldn't agree more with her. I just can't pick one!

Happy Birthday, Glora!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHow sweet are you?! It's your birthday and you're giving gifts! You weren't kidding when you said you have some great sponsors! I love, love, love Emma's My Creative Time Stamps!!!! They are the best and I can't wait to start my collection!
Your little basket came out great!!! :) I love it! (I love Kimberly's use of the crepe paper, too, and I recently stocked up on it when it was buy one, get one at Party City! My only concern: I doubt it's acid free (?). Have you used in layouts?)

ReplyDeleteMy very favorite sets would have to be You Had Me at Chocolate and Paper Princess! Besides the fact that she uses such beautiful fonts (& I love the way she combines 2 types for most stamps), I feel as though these two sets were made for me (are things that I would say or do)!
Thank you so much for the extra chances; I would absolutely love to win one of those great sets by My Creative Time's Emma!!!!!!
