Treat Bags For My Turkeys!

Hello friends. Today I get to host the new Designer Challenge over at My Creative Time. The challenge is to make any kind of project so long as it has a THANKSGIVING THEME and uses some My Creative Time products.

I had a blast with this challenge. My mind was going crazy thinking of all sorts of fun possibilities on how to use Emma's current dies to make a turkey. I love the little turkey gift bags and I hope you do too.


Everything on the topper of this treat bag was made using Emma's products other than the little Critter Faces (size small)  by Peachy Keen Stamps. Just in case you ever want to make these I'm going to list what I used. First let's start with the products that are the same for both turkey treat toppers. The green piece is My Creative Time's Stitched Doily Die. The brown turkey base is the bunny die from the To My Best Peep stamp and die set (I just cut off the bunny ears). The sentiment on both of them is from the new Teeny Tag Holidays stamp set.


On my girl turkey I used both layers of the Scalloped Stitched Rosette Dies for her tail feathers. I have seen some of the other My Creative Time designers use rosettes for tail feathers on turkeys and thought it looked really cute. To make her little hair bow I used the tiny little hearts you get when you cut the olive pick on the Cocktail Party Stitched Dies


The tail feathers on the boy turkey are the bunny ears from the To My Best Peep bunny die. I used the present die from the new All Around Holidays set for the hat. I just trimmed off the bow and cut another hat in red and trimmed it down so I could layer it on top.

I hope these give you some fun ideas. I know that my design team sisters have made some AMAZING projects for this challenge to help inspire you. I hope you will join in the fun challenge too. I can't wait to see what you make! Hugs- Glora

Wish Big... Big Foot Birthday Card

Oops, I'm a little late. I had the wrong day down for Pam and my's cut challenge but now I'm here. Pam chose the cut for today and it was the Big Foot from off of the Campin Critter Cricut cartridge.


I used the Sweet and Silly Face Assortment by Peachy Keen Stamps for the face and I used Wow So Many Candles by My Creative Time for the sentiments. Other than that I used some gel pen faux stitching and some glossy accents.

Make sure to stop by Pam's blog HERE to see what she did with this cute image. Hugs- Glora

PKS & KaDoodle Bug Fan Page Blog Hop

This is my first time doing a FaceBook fan page blog hop. Please feel free to comment on my project here on my blog but know that your comments will only count towards the prizes if you comment on the FaceBook fan pages of each participant. To start the hop go to KaDoodle Bug fan page HERE.

There are some fun prizes up for grabs if you join the hop on FaceBook, so make sure to check it out.

I made a fun easel card using a file by Too Cute By Jessica called Costume Babies 2. These files are retiring soon and you can get them for an awesome deal of $1 a set right now. I'm not sure how long they will be available so if you like them hop right over and get them HERE.


This is what the card looks like in the easel position. I used a few different Peachy Keen Stamp sets for this card. The baby's face is from the In the Garden Face Assortment, the pumpkin face is from the Peachy Keen/Cottage Cutz stamp and die set called Pumpkin Trio and the sentiment is from the September 2012 Stamp Kit of the Month.

Here is what the card looks like when you pull it out of the envelope.


I used the print and cut feature on my Silhouette for this card and I seriously love using it this way. I did some faux stitching to help the image pop and I added some chalk to the cheeks and some Glossy Accents to the eyes as well.

Thanks for stopping by! HUGS- Glora

Halloween Hustle Day 5

I can't believe it is the last day of the My Creative Time Halloween Hustle. I had so much fun and I got so many awesome ideas too. I hope you loved it as much as I did. 

I have a SUPER easy project for you today. I bought these cute little Halloween lip balms for my girls and wanted to doll them up with just a bit of twine and a cute tag and sentiment. It doesn't get any easier than this.


I used the brand new sentiments from the new Teeny Tag Holiday stamp set. Aren't those cute? There are some great holiday sentiments for the whole entire year and you can start buying this stamp set today. Something else that is fun is that this set isn't just for the Teeny Tag Dies you can use most if not all of these sentiments with the tags that are on the Chunky Jar Accessories Set. I just love how versatile My Creative Time products are.

Make sure to check out Emma's blog. I'm certain that you will leave with some awesome ideas. Hugs- Glora

Game On Football Frame

It is time for a new Peachy Keen Challenge. This challenge is to make something 3D and that has the theme of FALL SPORTS.

My brother played lots of football and I thought this fun altered frame would be a great way to display one of his favorite football pictures.


The 'game on' sentiment and the awesome football with the stitched circle around it both come from the October 2013 SKOTM by Peachy Keen Stamps. I used a circle that I had cut out on my Cricut machine to stamp the football image on and I used a die from the Chunky Jar Accessories set by My Creative Time to stamp the sentiment on.

Simple and easy but I think he is going to love having this little visual reminder of his football days.

Make sure to stop by the Peachy Keen Challenge and join in on the fun too.

Hugs- Glora

MCT Halloween Hustle Day 4

It is the 4th day of the Halloween Hustle at  My Creative Time. There have been so many fun ideas. I'm just loving it. 

Today I altered a frame that I've had on hand for a while.


I used a few My Creative Time stamps and dies to make this. I stamped up the plain photo mat with the Spooky Starry Night stamp set. I used the Stitched Curly Label Die for the cute shape at the bottom and stamped a sentiment from the Spooky Starry Night stamp set on it. The bow on the top it cut out of white felt and I used the Medium Stitched Scallop Bow die to make it. I just trimmed off the cute scallops for this particular project. All of these products I just listed are by My Creative Time.

I accented the bow with a twine bow using some twine from The Twinery and a simple orange button from my button stash. I love the little pop the twine adds to the bow. I wanted to add this project to The Twinery's current challenge.


Make sure to check out the other fun projects on Emma's blog. My design team sisters are AMAZING and I know they have some fun stuff for you to see! Hugs- Glora

MCT Halloween Hustle Day 3

Welcome to My Creative Time's 3rd day of the Halloween Hustle. I hope you are enjoying all of these fun Halloween ideas. I know that I am. 

Today I have a super quick and simple gift tag for you.


I used the Stitched Spooky Ghost Dies for the ghost and the Just Tags Die for the little tombstone shape (both by My Creative Time). The Scary stamp is from the new Holiday Tickets Stamp set by My Creative Time. I stamped my ghosts face with the Sweet and Silly Face Assortment by Peachy Keen Stamps.

I love to tie off my tags with a bunch of pretty twine. Today I used twine from The Twinery. They are having a fun Halloween challenge over at the Twinery and I thought I would join in the fun.

MCT Halloween Hustle Day 1

Welcome to My Creative Time's 1st day of the Halloween Hustle. It is going to be a fun week jam packed with fun Halloween ideas. 

My project today is a door hanger. I've had this little ghost bell for a while and it was just needed to be finished up. I crocheted the little door hanger part using some Trendy Twine. After I was done I attached it to the bell.


To finish my cute decoration off I cut out the Teeny Tag Greetings stamp and die set by My Creative Time and stamped them with a sentiment off of the Treats for My Sweet stamp set. I'm glad I finally finished it off. Make sure to check out the other fun projects on Emma's blog. Hugs- Glora

You're Sweet!

Today I am posting over at Peachy Keen Stamps and I wanted to show you a clean and simple note card. I love having something cute and simple (and not too bulky) on hand.


The darling pear and it's face along with the perfect sentiment come from the October 2013 Stamp Kit Of The Month. The cute little scallop circle is also a stamp. It is from the Clear Canning Pint Jar all from the newest release at Peachy Keen Stamps. I also used a My Creative Time Die from the Build a Banner Kit as well as some pretty coordinating twine from Timeless Twine called Watermelon Sorbet.

All this took was a little bit of stamping, cutting and gluing and it was done in a flash. I think it would be a great way to brighten someone's day and let them know how sweet you think they are.

I hope you are inspired to make some quick and easy note cards that you can send off to encourage or brighten up someone's day. Have a great day! Hugs- Glora

I have a pretty simple project for you today. I used some of the new items and some of the old to make a little mini postcard (shape card) to send with a Christmas gift to some of my sweet friends in France.


Here is a rundown of all of the My Creative Time products that I used for this card and envelope. For dies I used the existing Stitched 3x4 Journal Die and the Stitched Heart Layering Dies. Then I also used the new Scallop Stitched Envelope Die (I love that cute little envelope). I also used several new and old stamps. The older stamp sets I used are Beary Special Thoughts (for the bear) and Warm Holiday Fun (for the stocking). The new stamp sets that I used were the Build a Postcard and the Postcard Add-Ons.

Here are some pictures of the new products that I used:

MCT October Release Day 2

It is day 2 of sneak peeks of the new My Creative Time release and it is a super fun release. 

Today we are showcasing a new all around holiday set that comes with coordinating little dies for the center of the sentiments (I love these). This set is called All Around Holidays and I'm also showcasing the new Rosette Die. This was actually my first time making a rosette and I really love how it turned out. The die made it super easy and I think it turned out really pretty too. I love the scallop edge and stitching on it. 


I used the existing Embossed Gift Card Holder die and the Stitched Circle die from the Scallop and Stitched Circle Die set. The sentiment at the top is from the More Gift Card Sentiments stamp set.

Sneak Peek giveaway!

Peachy Keen October Release

It is the 3rd day of sneak peeks of the new stamps that will be released over at Peachy Keen Stamps. I have a few projects to share with you using these new stamps.


This card uses two of the add on sets called Clearly Autumn Quart Jar Contents and Clearly Autumn Pint Jar Contents. For the Die I used the Stitched XL Label Die and the XL Label Die by My Creative Time.


My Gift Card holder is made using only the October 2013 SKOTM. My gift card holder was made using a die by My Creative Time called the Embossed Gift Card Holder.


And this card also uses the October 2013 SKOTM for the sentiment and for the pumpkins and their faces. I used a My Creative Time die called Stitched Round Tab Arrow and Tag for the tags.

Make sure to check out the Peachy Keen post to see what all the other designers have made. Have a great evening. Hugs- Glora

Wishing You a Fall of Sweet Surprises

It is time for a new Designer Challenge at My Creative Time. The requirement for this challenge is to make something with a 'pumpkin' theme. 

I went super simple with my card today but I really love how it turned out.


I used a Cuttlebug embossing folder and inked it with some white chalk ink. I added a couple of pieces of grosgrain ribbon and then I added some My Creative Time products. I used the Scallop and Stitched Circle Dies along with the All Around Halloween stamp set.

I hope you will take a look at the other projects on the My Creative Time blog and join in the challenge too. Have a terrific day! Hugs- Glora
