MCT November Release Sneak Peeks Day 2

Welcome to Day 2 of the new release at My Creative Time.

These new stamps and dies are FANTASTIC and a bit addictive too. I've got tons of ideas and plans for these.

I used all 4 items that we are sneaking today (they coordinate beautifully and it was SO easy).

Emma is seriously a creative genius. She has come up with these new edge dies that are AMAZING! If you love cute little decorative edges on your papercrafts you are going to LOVE these. The possibilities are pretty much endless. Anyway, the cute scallop with the stitched line at the top and bottom of my pink layer were made using these new Fun Stitched Edge Dies.  The perfect little sentiment is from the set A Fun Variety on the Inside and Out. The cute girl is a die called Classy Girl and Furbaby and her stroller and the bag come from the Classy Girl Accessories die set. This is such a fun release. I hope you are enjoying it as much as I am.

MCT November Release Sneak Peek Day 1

Well we have a SUPER fun release for you at My Creative Time and I'm so glad you decided to join us for our first day of sneak peeks.

I'm having lots of fun with these new stamps and dies and couldn't resist making a couple of projects for you today.

When I first saw the new Stitched Circle Tab Die the thought came to me that it looked like a little snow-globe. Then I wondered if Emma's cute little stitched snowman die from the previously released All Around Holidays set would fit inside. Well it does quite nicely. So here is my little tag I made with this idea:

The background tag piece is the Stitched Round Tab Arrow and Tag Die. The snowman is from the All Around Holidays stamp and die set (I just drew the accessories on him). The sentiment is from last months Teeny Tag Holidays. The snowglobe is made using the new Stitched Circle Tab Die and the darling little paper bow is made using the new Fun Size Stitched Bow. To make the snowglobe kind of 3D like and sparkly. I ran it through my Xyron snowman side down, then I sprinkled it with translucent glitter and covered it with Glossy Accents. The hardest part was just being patient enough to let the Glossy Accents dry.

I also made a simple card with some of the new sets.

Once again I used the Stitched Circle Tab Die and I also used the Circle Tab Sentiments from this release. Some other My Creative Time products that I used were the Anyday Bingo & Crossword (for the heart), Teeny Tag Greetings (for the sweet friend sentiment) and the Stitched 3x4 Journal Die.

Winter Gift Tags

It is time for another Designer Challenge over at My Creative Time. This challenge will be hosted by Katie. Katie's challenge is to make a winter/holiday tag or tags using some My Creative Time products.

I made a small set of coordinating 4 tags. Each tag uses the Scallop and Stitched Circle Dies and the Stitched Round Tab Arrow and Tag Dies by My Creative Time. They all also use some pretty trendy twine and some seam binding ribbon.

These tags used the All Around Holidays stamp set for the winter wishes sentiment. I used some snowflake bling for the middle.

These tags used the All Around Christmas stamp set for the sentiment and the cute snowman.

Make sure to stop by Emma's blog to join in on the challenge and to get some more fun gift tag inspiration. Hugs- Glora

Peachy Keen Stamps and Pretty Paper Pretty Ribbons Blog Hop

Welcome to the Peachy Keen Stamps and Pretty Paper Pretty Ribbons Blog Hop. You should have come here from Melisa's blog. If not make sure to get the whole hop in by going to the start at Lisa's Pretty Paper Pretty Ribbons blog.

I used several Pretty Paper Pretty Ribbons products as well several Peachy Keen Stamps to make my two shape cards.

I used the awesome print and cut features on my Silhouette machine to make both cards. I love my Silhouette for that. It worked terrific with these Pretty Paper Pretty Ribbon cutting files too. The cute little girl that I used is from the Fourth of July Kids Cutting File. I added corn to her hand instead of the flag she is normally holding and gave her fall colored clothing. The corn, berry basket and pumpkin come from the First Thanksgiving Cutting Files. Her cute little head band and feathers come from the Thanksgiving Wear Cutting Files. The shape of the card is made by using one of the banners from the Simple Banner Shapes Cutting Files. The darling polka dot paper is all digital paper from a Pretty Paper Pretty Ribbons set called Pumpkin Spice Circles and Spots. I used a couple of fun Peachy Keen Stamps sets as well. I used The Moodies Face Assortment for her adorable face. I also used the October 2012 Stamp Kit of the Month for the sentiment.

I also made a fun turkey shape card.

I used the awesome print and cut feature once again for this card. The Pretty Paper Pretty Ribbon cutting files I used were the First Thanksgiving Cutting Files (for the turkey) and the Simple Banner Shapes Cutting Files (for the card shape). Once again the darling polka dot paper is all digital paper from the set called Pumpkin Spice Circles and Spots. I used two stamps by Peachy Keen Stamps the were The Cornies Face Assortment (for the turkey's eyes) and the October 2013 Stamp Kit of the Month (for the sentiment). The cute stitched die that the stamp is on is by My Creative Time. It is called the Scallop and Stitched Circle Dies. I finished it off with some hemp twine and then some faux stitching with my GellyRoll pens.

PRIZES: Both Peachy Keen Stamps and Pretty Paper Pretty Ribbons will each be giving out a $15 gift certificate. All you need to do to be eligible for one of these prizes is to comment on on the blog posts in the hop and leave your contact information so that we will be able to contact you if you are one of the lucky winners.

Fall Bookmark

My daughter LOVES to read and I find her stuffing just about anything in her books to mark her place so I decided to make her this fun fall bookmark. She loves it and has used it faithfully.

I used the Clearly Autumn Quart Jar Contents by Peachy Keen Stamps for the pinecones. Aren't they fun? I also used some of my Liz's Paper Loft Boutique ribbons and hemp to finish it off. It was simple and easy but has been put to very good use.

Have a terrific day. Hugs- Glora

December 25th Christmas Memories Layout

Today is Scrappin' the Little Things at My Creative Time. I have tons of Christmas photos that need to be scrapped so I turned on some Christmas music and scrapped away. I got the basic inspiration for the design of my page from one of the pages in my DCWV Christmas paper pad.

I used lots of My Creative Time products and some pretty paper from DCWV. I used the following My Creative Time Dies: Stitched 3x4 Journal Die, Stitched 4x6 Journal Die and Stitched XL Label Die. I used the following My Creative Time stamp sets: My Journaling (for the journal lines), Cherish This Moment (for Good Memories), Gift Card Sentiments (for Merry Christmas), Treasured Moments (for Life's most precious moments...), and Whimsical Calendar Days.

I hope you enjoyed my layout. Make sure to stop by My Creative Time to see all the other scrappy inspiration. Hugs- Glora

Let Us Give Thanks

Here is a quick and easy little treat bag that I made for the Peachy Keen Stamps November Release Party Challenge #1. The requirements are to make a treat bag using the colors green and orange and to use at least 1 button. If you join in the challenge you have a chance at a $25 Peachy Keen gift certificate! YAY. You can join in the challenge HERE. You have until Tuesday, November 12th at midnight to link up a project in the comment section.

Here is mine:

For my tag I used the pumpkin and sentiment from the October 2013 SKOTM. I also used the new Wiggle Stitch size A2 stamp for the background of my tag. I just used some watermark ink to give it that tone on tone subtle look. The tag I used is the Stitched Round Tab Arrow and Tag Die by My Creative Time. I used a button from my stash along with some pretty twine from The Twinery!

There is also another challenge. It is Release Party Challenge #2 and it is to upcycle something into a holiday decor item. I haven't done this challenge project yet but if I do I will send out another reminder. You can find the 2nd challenge HERE.

I hope you will join in the fun! Hugs- Glora
