Thank You Treat Bag

It is 3D Wednesday at My Creative Time and I have a fun project made with several My Creative Time products.

Do you see all of that beautiful stitching? I love Emma's stitching on her dies! The bottom (mint colored) piece was made using the Stitched 4x6 Journal Die. The topper (pink and cream part) was made using the Stitched 3x4 Journal Die. I used the Curly Label Die and the Stitched Curly Label Die and for the sentiment I used the 'thank you' from I'm Here For You Rain or Shine.

Have a wonderful day! Hugs- Glora

Christmas in July - Gift Tags

Well I have one more Christmas in July post for you. I made a couple more Christmas gift tags. I'm excited to have such a great head start on my tags this year.

Aren't these overstuffed snowmen adorable? They are from the Dieting Snowpeople stamp set by Peach Keen Stamps. I also used the coordinating SVG file that can be purchased HERE. Using this SVG file I made my own little tags using my Silhouette Designer Software. It was easy to do and I think they turned out pretty cute. In fact I have several other tags already cut out, I just need to stamp them and color them up before Christmas. Have a wonderful day! Hugs- Glora

P.S. Today is the last day for the PKS sale!

Sunny Hello

Today starts a new Designer Challenge at My Creative Time. Amy is hosting this challenge and the theme is Summer! It has been so hot here so I totally thought a sunshine card would be perfect. I actually made two cards.

The card is 4.25" x 4.25". For the sunshine image I used an SVG from Miss Kate's Cuttables called Summer Background Shapes. I stamped on a face from the Piles of Smiles 1" face assortment by Peachy Keen Stamps. The perfect little 'hello' sentiment comes from My Creative Time's new Tab Notes Stamp Set. I think it make for a fun yet simple summer note card.

Here is version #2:

This is a standard A2 size card. I used the same cut file from Miss Kate's Cuttables but I stretched it width wise to make it 5.5". The face for this one is from the In the Garden Face Assortment by Peachy Keen Stamps. The cute and swirly 'hi' sentiment is from the Teeny Tag Greetings set by My Creative Time.

Make sure to stop by Emma's blog to see Amy's challenge and to link up your own summer project as well. Hugs- Glora

Woof Woof Happy Birthday!

Hello friends, today my crafty friend Pam and I are doing our monthly cut challenge. I picked this month and decided to use a cartridge that I haven't used in quite a while. I chose a cute little doggy and balloon from the Paper Pups Cricut cartridge.

I used several different products for this one. The cloud background is made with My Creative Time's Cartoon Cloud Background stamp. The little speech bubble is from the Stitched Round Speech Bubble Dies by My Creative Time. The birthday sentiment is from the February 2012 SKOTM by Peachy Keen Stamps. The 'woof!' sentiment is from the Hillbilly Holler Dog by Peachy Keen Stamps. I used Sakura Gelly Roll pens for my faux stitching. The grass is from the Sports Mania Cricut cartridge and I used a Versamarker to accent the edges. 

Make sure to check out Pam's blog to see what she did with this cut. Click HERE to go to her blog. Hugs- Glora

Tag it Tuesday - Sunshine

Hello, today we are starting a new feature at My Creative Time and it is called Tag it Tuesday. On these days we will be sharing tags with you. Our tags today were to use the color combo of red, orange and yellow. Here is my tag:

I made everything for this tag using some of My Creative Time's dies (except for the face and the twine I added). I used the Stitched Circle Die from Scallop and Stitched Circle Die Set for the sunshine. I used one of the mustache dies from What's Growing On? for the sun's rays. I used the Just Tag dies for my tag and I used the cute little tab from the new Stitched Round Tab Arrow and Tag. It doesn't fit perfectly on this double tag but with the twine run through it you can't tell. The cute face is from the In the Garden Face Assortment by Peachy Keen Stamps and the twine is from The Twinery.

Make sure to check out everyone's tag at My Creative Time. Have a great day! Hugs- Glora

Congratulations on Your New Baby Boy!

Happy Monday, today I'm designing over at the Peachy Keen blog and I have a shape card to share with you.

I will be getting a new nephew this week and was excited to make a special card for the occasion.  I made this card using my Silhouette. I love how easy it is to make shape cards with a perfect little shadow using that machine. The svg file is from Lettering Delights and is from the Playful Stringbeans set. The little stitched die that has the sentiment stamped on it, is a die from the Chocolate Greetings set by My Creative Time. The oh so cute face is from the In the Garden Face Assortment by Peachy Keen Stamps. The darling sentiment is from the May 2013 Stamp Kit of the Month, also by Peachy Keen Stamps. I added some faux stitching with my Sakura Gelly Roll Pen, you can also pick those up at Peachy Keen Stamps. I finished it off with a few buttons, a little bit of chalk for the cheeks and some Glossy Accents for the eyes.

Thanks for stopping by today! Hugs- Glora

MCT 25th Release Blog Hop

Welcome to the My Creative Time 25th Release Blog Hop. If you came here from Courtney's blog you are in the right place, if not make sure to start back at Emma's blog to get the full hop in.

I made a couple of quick cards for you today. The first is a card of encouragement.

For this card I used a few new items from the 25th release and a couple of older ones as well. From the new release I used the Cartoon Cloud Background stamp, the Stitched 4x6 Journal Dies, and Treasured Moments. The older My Creative Time items are the Fly Away With Me Stamps and the Fly Away With Me Dies. Other than that the ribbon is from Liz's Paper Loft Boutique.

And here is a quick card that my 4 year old helped me make. She saw the Tigger card I made the other day and wanted a Minnie Mouse one for her. We made this in pretty much no time at all but we both love how it turned out.

The darling tags are from the new release and are called the Stitched Round Tab Arrow and Tag Dies. With these awesome tag dies, a few glittery Minnie Mouse stickers, some adhesive rhinestones and some pink polka dot washi tape this card was a snap.

Christmas Tags for Christmas in July

Over at Peachy Keen Stamps we are celebrating Christmas in July all month long. Yay, I might actually have some cards and tags ready to go this year.

I had fun using some of the oldie but goody Christmas sets by Peachy Keen Stamps to make up these tags:

For the tag base I used a die by My Creative Time called Just Tags. I LOVE this die. I also added some twine from The Twinery to the top of each tag.

Here are some close ups:

These cute little boy and girl penguins are from the Penguin Doll Set. Kathy make some of the cutest penguins ever. I colored these two penguins up with Tim Holtz Distress Markers and then did the blue outline with one of my Copics.

This sweet little ginger is from the Gingerbread Boy stamp set. This fun set comes with 3 different face options for the gingerbread boy. It is such a fun set. I colored this one up with my Copic markers.

And Last of ALL:

  

Santa! Isn't that one of the sweetest Santa images you have seen? I absolutely LOVE this set as well. It is called Peachy Keen Santa Set. This was also colored with my Copic Markers.

I hope you enjoyed my Christmas Tags. Merry Christmas in July! Hugs- Glora

Peachy Keen Connection New Release Challenges

The new Peachy Keen Stamps release is now available along with an awesome sale! If you haven't looked yet you will definitely want to check it out HERE. This evening we also started our new release party and  have started up the challenges over on the Peachy Keen Connection. There are some fun challenges and if you play along you have a chance to win a $25 gift certificate, so make sure to join in on the fun.

Challenge #1 is being hosted by Lorie Souther and it is a Christmas in July challenge. The twist on the challenge is to use NON-TRADITIONAL Christmas colors for your project. I made a tag of pink and blue:

For this tag I used Smitten Mittens by Peachy Keen Stamps. The tags are some dies by Emma at My Creative Time and they are called XL Label Die and Stitched XL Label Die. The pretty seam binding ribbon and hemp twine are from Liz's Paper Loft Boutique.

Challenge #2 is being hosted by Cindy and it is a Summer Vacation themed project. 

I couldn't get this card out of my head when I was thinking about the challenge so I just had to make it up. We used to pack up all 10 of us (8 children and my parents) in our station wagon, dad would pack the luggage on top and then we would head out on our summer vacation. We had all sorts of adventures and this brings back a lot of memories.

I recently got the Stringbeans collection from Lettering Delights. They are SO cute (especially with a Peachy Keen Face). I'm excited to use these files some more. The Station Wagon is also from Lettering Delights and is called Stringbean Wagon (it was their freebie of the week a week ago but now you can purchase it HERE). The suitcases are called Stacked Suitcases and are by Miss Kate's Cuttables. All of these are SVG's cut with my Silhouette Cameo. I hid the face on the man and stamped it with the Sweet and Innocent Face Assortment by Peachy Keen Stamps. The "Happy Trails Sentiment" comes for the Peachy Keen Stamps, Happy Trails Spaceship. The brown piece it is stamped on is a die from My Creative Time. It is part of a set called Just Simply Live.

Please come on over and join in the fun!!!! Hugs- Glora

Don't forget about the awesome sales over at Peachy Keen Stamps.

And next week will be the start of My Creative Time's 25th release and believe me it is a good one! Make sure to join us for that too.

SWEET PKS Sketch Challenge

It is time for another Peachy Keen Challenge and this one is a sketch challenge. Here is the sketch:

Here is my card. I made my circle a scalloped circle and flipped the sketch so that the straight lines went across the top instead of the side. 

I used some fun patterned paper for this (which in included the lollypops and SWEET sentiment). I used the new Yummies stamp to add some gumdrops. The gingers are the new Gingerbread Cookies with Frosting stamps. These are SO fun and very simple to use too.

I hope you will join in the PKS challenge and that you are enjoying the Christmas in July projects. Don't forget about the awesome sale over at Peachy Keen Stamps and we will be having our release party over on the Peachy Keen Connection at 6 pm too.  Hugs- Glora

It's All About the Sprinkles!

Well it is Christmas in July over at Peachy Keen Stamps. The new stamps sets that will be released on Friday are all about winter, snow, trains, cookies, candy, critters and Christmas... 

All the stamps on this card come from the new July 2013 SKOTM by Peachy Keen Stamps. I paper pieced the penguin and milkshake. I used a snow-writer for the snow and pom pom and dusted them with transparent glitter. The background was inked with Tim Holtz Distress Inks. I added some Stickles to the straw and sprinkles and some adhesive pearls for the snow. The cute stitched piece on the card is a die by My Creative Time called Stitched Journal Die.

Make sure to check out the Peachy Keen Stamps blog for some more fun Christmas in July projects. Have a great one and a safe Independence Day weekend! Hugs- Glora

PS There will be some fun sales all month long over at Peachy Keen Stamps.
