MCT 26th Release Blog Hop

Welcome to the My Creative Time 26th Release Blog Hop. I have had WAY too much fun with this new release and I hope you have enjoyed all of the fun inspiration as well. You should have come here from the talented Courtney's blog. If not you will want to make sure you start at the My Creative Time Blog so that you get the full hop in.

I have a couple of cards for you today. I will apologize in advance this is a little bit of a longer post that I usually do for a blog hop. Sorry.

On both of these projects I used the new Cocktail Party Stitched Dies. I don't drink alcohol so you would think that I would have no use for these dies but there are actually some awesome shapes in this die set and I had some fun ideas pop into my head when I first saw them. Here are a couple of these ideas.

First up is my flower birthday card. I made the flower using 3 different dies sets. For the center piece I used the Scallop and Stitched Circle Die, the petals were made by cutting out the Cocktail Party Stitched Die 5 times (the piece that I used is the part that would usually go in the wine glass as the beverage), and then for the leaves I used the Stitched Leaves Dies. The sentiment for my card is from the new Some Days Simply Require stamp set. My card base was made using the Stitched 4x6 Journal Die and the polka dot piece in the middle was also made using the Stitched 4x6 Journal Die. All I did was just run it through my die cutter twice to crop it the size that I wanted. Last of all I tied some seam binding ribbon, from Liz's Paper Loft Boutique, into a bow at the top.

For my second card I used the little olive pick piece as a cupcake topper and the little heart sprinkles are the inner piece from the heart pick which is also part of the Cocktail Party Stitched Die. The cute cupcake is from the Celebrate Good Times stamp and die set. The sentiment is the same one I used in the flower card I just masked off  the 'to you' part. The gingham piece was cut with the Stitched 3x4 Journal Die (I ran this through my Cuttlebug Machine twice so I could make it 3x3.5). I used the Stitched 4x6 Journal Die for two of my pieces, first was the kraft background piece, I ran it through my die cutter twice to make it 4x5.25". I also ran the pink strip through twice so I could get the stitching going down the sides. Then for my scallops I used the scalloped edges from the Treat Slider Box Die. And I finished it off with some Trendy Twine.

Autumn Thank You

*** If you are looking for my sneak peek for day 4 at My Creative Time scroll down to the next post. Thanks. ***

It is time for another Peachy Keen Challenge. This is a photo inspiration challenge and it is a beautiful one. The image and the colors totally reminded me of a cozy Autumn day.

Here is the inspiration photo:

And here is my card.

For the leaves and sentiment I used the September 2012 SKOTM by Peachy Keen Stamps. I tied the card off with a little bit of raffia too.

I hope you will join in on the challenge and that you will hop on over to the PKS challenge blog to see what the other designer's made for you. Hugs- Glora

MCT 26th Release Day 1

Happy Monday! My Creative Time is having their 26th stamp and die release and today we are showcasing some very fun stamps and dies. I was actually able to sneak in something from all of the sets that we are sneak peeking today. I also threw in a few oldies but goodies too.

First the new stuff: Chevrons are totally in right now and with the new Build a Chevy Background you have so many options. I had SO much fun playing with this set. The 'You've been BOOed' stamp is from the new Fright Night set. The '10*31' is from Spooky Starry Night. The cute little stitched ghost die is from the Stitched Spooky Ghost Dies. Now for the old stuff: I used the Stitched Fun Ticket Dies, the Stitched 3x4 Journal Die, the stitched circle from the Scallop and Stitched Circle die set, for my tombstone I used the Just Tags die and last but not least the cute little face is from last month's release Things I Love.... I thought it fit my "CUTE" ghostie perfectly.

I added a little ribbon and voila a cute little card to give someone when we BOO them this coming Halloween!

Simple Card for a Special Occasion

This one pretty much speaks for itself. I used a Cuttlebug Embossing Folder. Then I used some seam binding ribbon and a gold flower from Liz's Paper Loft Boutique. Have a beautiful Sunday! Hugs- Glora

Thinking of You with a Jar Full of LOVE

Oops, looks like I forgot to add much information to this post. I made this card for a sweet friend that was going through a rough time.

I used some My Creative Time stamps and dies on this. I used the Vintage Sentiments Stamp Set and the Stitched Chunky Jar Dies. Enjoy. Hugs- Glora

School Note Card Set

Today we are starting a new Designer Challenge at My Creative Time. Cathryn is our host for this challenge. She has challenged us to make a school themed project. I thought it would be fun to make some 3x3 notecards.

I used several My Creative Time products on these. I used: the Scallop and Stitched Circle Dies, the All Around Everything stamp set, the All Around Everything Accessories, and the All Around Goodies (for the apples). I also used the Simple Sallies face assortment by Peachy Keen Stamps for the face on the apple.

Make sure to join in on this fun challenge over at My Creative Time! Hugs- Glora

Hope You're Feeling Well Oiled Again Soon!

It is time for the monthly cut challenge that Pam and I have. This month Pam chose this cute race car from the Beep Beep cartridge.

I opted for a pretty simple card. I added some faux stitching with my Sakura Gelly Roll pen and some fun sentiments by Peachy Keen Stamps. The 'maintenance' sentiment comes from the Made on Planet Earth stamp set. The 'Hope you're feeling well oiled again soon!' comes from Spring Gear Flowers stamp set.

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

Church Music Festival Layout

Welcome to another Scrapping the Little Things at My Creative Time. I did a double page layout from my College choir days.

I used some music note washi tape and a whole bunch of My Creative Time items in addition to a couple of programs from the concert.

Here are the pages close up:

For this page I used the following My Creative time products: XL Label Die, Stitched XL Label Die, Stitched Fun Ticket Dies, Just Simply Live, and the new Type Calendar stamp set.

The My Creative Time items I used for this page are: Stitched Fun Ticket Dies, Stitched 3x4 Journal Die (I made it longer in my Cuttlebug), Things I Love, and Treasured Moments.

Make sure to stop by Emma's blog to see what everyone else made! Hugs- Glora

Get Well Soon!

I have a Get Well card that I wanted to share today.

For this card I used The Moodies 1 1/8" by Peachy Keen Stamps and the perfect sentiment comes from the Vintage Sentiments Stamp Set by My Creative Time. I used some pretty DCWV paper as well as some sheer ribbon. The little die that I used as a frame for my "closeup" pictures is called the Stitched Mini Frame and Arrow Dies also by My Creative Time.

Hugs- Glora

Birdy Happy Birthday!

I have a quick birthday card to share with you today.

I used the Birthday Buddies Stamp Set by My Creative Time for all of the stamped images. I embossed the pink background and added some white chalk ink to make it pop. I tied it off with some seam binding ribbon and a pretty little plastic flower from Liz's Paper Loft Boutique!

Have a TWEET day! Hugs- Glora

Back to School - Hand Sanitizer

It is 3D Wednesday over at My Creative Time and for my project I had decided to dress up some hand sanitizer for some back to school gifts. We all know how those little germs like to spread around a school so I got the huge (40 oz) pump hand sanitizer for my daughter's new teacher and the little 1 oz bottles for each of my girls.

For the large cover I cut the apple paper with the Stitched 3x4 Journal Die (I manipulated the cut in my Cuttlebug to make it 3x6. I used the Vintage Stitched Label Die and the Vintage Label Stamps for the kraft piece. For the white circle I used the Stitched Circle from the Scallop and Stitched Circle Die as well as the All Around Everything stamp set. I punched some holes with my hole punch and tied it off with some ribbon.

For the 1 oz bottles I used the Stitched Lollipop Holder Die with the Scallop and Stitched Circle Dies. And once again I stamped it with the All Around Everything stamp set. The apples are some buttons that I bought at Michaels and have had on hand for a while.

Make sure to check out Emma's blog to see what everyone has made! Hugs- Glora

Live Today...

Today is a new Designer Challenge over at My Creative Time. The challenge is to use black and white ONLY. I don't think I've ever made a black and white only card before so this was a fun challenge.

I used the Treasured Moments stamp set for my sentiment. I used the Fancy Frame Stamp and Die set for the background on the sentiment. Other than that I used an embossing folder and some polka dot ribbon.

Make sure to check out Emma's blog to see all of the fun black and white creations and to join in on the fun yourself. Have a great one! Hugs- Glora

Say Cheese Layout

It is Scrappin' the Little Things over at My Creative Time and I decided to work on another Disney Layout.

I cut out the film strip piece and Mickey Icons with My Cricut from the Mickey and Friends Cricut cartridge. I used stickers for all of the Mickey and Minnie images. Everything else I used for this are products by My Creative Time. I used the Stitched 4x6 Journal Die, The Stitched Tab Die, the Stitched Camera Die and the Things I Love... stamp set.

Here is a close up of the top left corner.

Make sure to check out all of the other Scrappin' the Little Thing projects at My Creative Time! Hugs- Glora

Happy Birthday Kitty Tag

Today is the last day of sneak peeks over at Peachy Keen Stamps. Tomorrow will be the big release party on the Peachy Keen Connection as well as the official release.

I made this cute little tag using 3 of the new sets. I used the Cat Background, the August 2013 SKOTM, and the I Didn't Do It stamp sets. I also used 2 My Creative Time Dies: the Tag Dies and the Vintage Stitched Label Dies. I used some orange sheer ribbon I had on hand along with some hemp twine from Liz's Paper Loft Boutique.

Don't forget to check out all of the AMAZING peeks over on the PKS blog. Hugs- Glora

PKS August Release Sneak - 3 Little Kittens

Welcome to the 3rd day of Peach Keen Stamps sneak peeks. For my project today I made a card using a new stamps set called I Didn't Do It. 

The first kitten on the left is made using the face that is included in this set, the other two are using faces from the August 2013 SKOTM. They are a little larger face stamp but I think they still look super sweet on these kittens. I paper pieced and chalked my kitties and then I added some glossy accents to the eyes. The girl kitten in the middle got a little hemp twine bow in her hair. I didn't stamp a sentiment because it was just a note card for a cat loving friend of mine. The paper is from the Pet Mat Stack by DCWV.

I hope you enjoyed this sneak of mine. Make sure to check out the other sneaks on the Peachy Keen Stamps Blog. Hugs- Glora

I Miss You!

Today is the 2nd day of sneak peeks from Peachy Keen Stamps newest release. These sets are perfect for the pet lover.

Today I made a 'missing you' card:

Isn't he such a sweet little puppy? The dog and the sentiments are from the Howling Puppy stamp set. I used the Stitched Heart Layering Dies and the Stitched 3x4 Journal Die by My Creative Time as well.

Make sure to stop by the Peachy Keen Blog to see lots of awesome inspiration. Hugs- Glora

Heard You Were Feeling Ruff

It is time for another Peachy Keen Challenge and it is an ANYTHING GOES CHALLENGE. Just use your Peachy Keen Stamps on whatever your little heart desires and link it up. Easy Peasy!

I could not resist using some of the new stamps from the August 2013 SKOTM. Isn't that puppy SO sweet?! That awesome paw print, bone and dog house background is a new background stamp too! YAY! It is called Dog Background. The sentiment at the bottom is from the new SKOTM as well.

I also used a few My Creative Time dies for this project. I used the Stitched 4x6 Journal Die for my card base. I used the XL Label Die and the Stitched XL Label Die for the piece behind the dog. And the piece that the sentiment is on is from the Vintage Stitched Label Dies set. Other than that I used some gingham ribbon to tie it off.

I hope you will join in the challenge HERE. I'm excited to see what you make. Hugs- Glora
