Day 4 Sneak Peek - My Creative Time August Stamp Release

Well it is the final day of sneak peeks over at My Creative Time and I just have to say that I'm totally in LOVE with today's die and stamp set. Emma has made the cutest die called the 'Embossed Gift Card Holder' and there are also some coordinating stamps called 'Gift Card Sentiments.' These are beautiful cursive sentiments that work perfectly with this die or even on there own. I LOVE them! Here is my birthday gift card holder for today's project:

And do you see that perfect stitching around the perimeter of the bottom part of the gift card? Those are stitched stamps that come with this awesome set of sentiments. I also made some cute polka dot patterned paper using the 'Extra Small Polka Dot' stamp by Peachy Keen Stamps.

Here is what the gift card holder looks like opened up:

Today for the Whimsical Wednesday project we are going with the theme of Three Times a Charm. Our Design Team member Amber came up with this awesome idea. We were to create any project/card using three cuts, ONLY three colors, and three of the same embellishments ( 3 buttons, 3 brads, 3 flowers, etc). I hope you will be able to join in this fun challenge and check out what my design team sisters came up with.

Here is a close up of part of the card since this is another long (business envelope sized) card.

Sneak Peek Day 3 - My Creative Time - August Release

Yay! Day 3, are you loving these beautiful stamps and dies?! I know I am! I can't wait for you all to see the full My Creative Time August release on Friday. For our projects today we are using an awesome stamp set called 'Small Talk.' I just love this set. It has an awesome dotted frame and a ton of perfectly sized sentiments for all year round. This set will be perfect for 3x3 cards, but can definitely be used for more than that. My card today is approximately 3 1/2" x 9 1/2".

This size of card looks pretty small on here because it is so wide, so I've zoomed in on each image for you...

I am SO excited to see what Emma and the other members of the My Creative Time Design Team have made with this awesome set. Make sure you stop by and check everyone's projects out. And once again here are the sneak peek rules for this week:

My Creative Time - August Release - Sneak Peek Day 2

Welcome to day two of sneak peeks at My Creative Time. Today we are using an adorable stamp set called 'Mixed Holiday Greetings.' We are also using a new die and stamp combo called the 'Fancy Frame Die and Stamp Set.' For my project I made a tri-fold card. Here is the front of the card:

When you untie the ribbon you can lift up the flaps to reveal the inside of the card:

I re-tied the bow from the outside on the inside just for the picture, but you can see where the holes where the ribbon is threaded through. 'Warm holiday wishes' is another sentiment from the Mixed Holiday Greetings stamp set and the darling shape it is stamped on is the darling new 'Fancy Frame Die and Stamp Set.'

I hope you will drop by Emma and my team member's blogs to see what incredible projects and inspiration they have for you. Once again, here are the rules for the sneak peek week.

My Creative Time - August Release - Sneak Peek Day 1

Hello friends, are you ready for another exciting stamp and die release with My Creative Time? Well it is here and Emma and her Design Team will have projects for you each day this week. Today we all used the stamp set 'Home Sewn' and the 'Stitched Oval Die.'

I made a house shaped card using my Gypsy and the Kate's ABC's Cricut cartridge. I added crepe paper curtains and acrylic windows. I also popped up the front house image with pop dots to add some depth and dimension. I got this awesome idea from a darling card that my Design Team Sister Katie made. You can click HERE to see her beautiful card.

I scored some lines to make it look like the house had siding, I used a mini brad for the doorknob and I stamped some grass. I had a lot of fun making this card. For the inside of the shaped card I used the 'Stitched Oval' die and another awesome sentiment from the 'Home Sewn' stamp set.

Happy 1st Birthday

Just a quick post. One of my sweet little nieces is celebrating her 1st birthday. I like using my stamps to make patterned paper sometimes, but I may have gotten a little carried away on this one. Anyway, here it is...

The 1's are from Emma's 'Follow Your Dreams' stamp set and the Happy Birthday is from her 'Many Greetings.'

Items Used:

Baby Steps Cricut cartridge
My Creative Time stamps - Follow Your Dreams
My Creative Time stamps - Many Greetings
Copics to color the flame
Crystal Stickles for the flame
Black marker for doodling

Pain Pain Go Away!

I have a super simple card for you today for the current Market Street Stamps Color Cue Challenge.

It is a little hard to see in this picture but I scored some lines to create a nice little border for my simple card. I also colored my own string (with a Copic marker) to match my little mosquito. I got this idea from Emma over at My Creative Time a long time ago but had never tried it before. It worked out perfectly. The cutest mosquito ever is from the 'Gone Campin' set by Market Street Stamps. The sentiment is from a set called 'Pain Pain go Away!' by My Creative Time. I added some Stickles to the wings and that was it. Thanks for stopping by today. Hugs- Glora

Items Used:

My Creative Time stamps - Pain Pain Go Away
Market Street Stamps - Gone Campin'
String colored with Copic
Martha Steward Score Board
Copic Markers
Crystal Stickles
