MCT May Release Day #3

Hi and welcome to day three of projects from Emma's newest - special birthday - release over at My Creative Time. ALL of these stamps and dies are already available for order.

Today we are all using Fun Pockets. This is just a fun all around stamp set. It has sentiments from birthday to everyday. Plus there is a cute girly pocket die and a regular pocket die.

I used some pretty Echo Parks paper along with Emma's Fun Pockets stamp set and her Tag Dies. The awesome ribbon and hemp can all be found at Liz's brand new Boutique. Isn't it pretty. I love how well these colors went with this paper pad. And last but not least is the cute little PKS You Are My Sunshine. I used this sunshine instead of the one that comes with the Fun Pockets stamp set because I wanted to be able to remove the sunshine from the pocket (picture below).

This wouldn't be a party without GIVEAWAYS!

With all of our SAMPLES/ SNEAKS this week, Emma likes to do some FUN giveaways!

MCT April Release Blog Hop

Hello there My Creative Time friends and welcome to the April stamp and die release. If you came here from Cindy's blog you are in the right place, if not make sure that you start back at Emma's blog so you can get the whole blog hop in.

For my project today I made gift wrap for a present. I used 3 items from Emma's newest release. The background flowers that I stamped my wrapping paper with is from the Bloom Where You are Planted stamp set. The beautiful 'Happy Birthday' sentiment comes for the Floral Sentiments stamp set (I just stamped Happy and Birthday separately so they would fit on my tag). I also used both of the Rolled Flower Dies to make my flower. 

I have picked up a lot of fun new tips and ideas for these flowers this week from Emma and the rest of the team. For this flower I used 2 of each die cut to make my flower. I did a very loose flower (almost flat), one slightly tighter (but still fairly flat), one almost normal and one super tight and layered them all inside each other. It turns out to be a pretty good sized flower (about 2 1/2" instead of the 1 1/4" ones that I made yesterday). I think it makes the perfect little accent for a present.

Here you can see the dimension just a little bit better.

Here is what I used from the new release:

***GIVEWAY ALERT***

For our Blog hop giveaway, each one of us will be giving away an Echo Park "DOTS & STRIPES" 6x6 pad! All you have to do is leave a comment here along w/the rest of the design team's blogs AND also leave a way for me to contact you!

MCT April Release Sneak Peek Day 2

Hello My Creative Time friends and welcome to day 2 of Emma's new release. I am having TOO much fun using this new release. Today we are featuring an awesome large stamp set with beautiful floral images and sentiments. I got a little carried away and made a few different cards to have on hand. This set is called Bloom Where You are Planted.

This sweet bunch of sunflowers just made me smile when I saw them. I could NOT resist coloring them up! I think it will make a sweet thank you card to have on hand.

This one was made using both of the pretty rose images and a perfectly coordinated sentiment.

And here is the last one that I made.

This little flower reminded me of one of the flowers on Alice in Wonderland. I just had to add a sweet little Peachy Keen Face to it (Simple Sallies - the smallest size in the assortment pack). I love how the flower petals look like her hair and the leaves look like her little hands.

Sneak Peek Giveaway Time!

One More Leap Day Project

I needed to throw together some quick little goody bags on Wednesday and so I thought I would go with the "frog" Leap Day theme.

These are VERY simple because they are just going to want the candy! This little frog is from the Animal Kingdom cartridge which means I finally got to use my new stamps that I got from Peachy Keen Stamps called Animal Faces. I think this frog turned out SO cute, oh yes and did I mention that he WOBBLES! Yes, I couldn't resist putting him on a wobble. Peachy Keen Stamps is selling Action Wobbles again and they are seriously SO much fun. The perfect "jumping for JOY" sentiment is from My Creative Time's Just a Little Note to Say stamp set. I hand wrote happy leap day. I also included a little note that said that I hoped they had a WHOPPER of a day (cheesy I know, but I wanted to tie it all together). 

Have a super day! Hugs- Glora

PS I just found out about an AWESOME sale over at Peachy Keen Stamps. 25% off your order (of almost everything) RIGHT NOW through 8pm CST on Sunday March 4th. Happy Shopping!

I know a lot of people hesitate on what to order first if they have not ever ordered from Peachy Keen Stamps before. If you are a die cutter and are looking for some awesome faces to start your collection, I PERSONALLY suggest the following 3 in this order 1. Everyday Character Faces, 2. Critter Faces in Medium or Large, 3. Wide Eyed Kids... All 3 of these sets give you both boy and girl faces and then the critter one also gives you a huge variety of animal faces.

Happy Leap Day... I'm JUMPING FOR JOY!!!

Happy Leap Day 2012!!!! This is my first time blogging during a leap year, so I had to have a post go up today. I also have some fun PERSONAL news to share at the end of this post if you are interested. Anyway, I thought it would be fun to do a cute little frog card to represent LEAP DAY and my happy news too.

This is a shape card that I made using my Gypsy. I used the frog from the Paisley cartridge because it looks like he is ready to jump or leap. The lilly pad is from the Create-a-Critter cartridge. That super cute frog face is from a Peachy Keen Stamps set called Baby Animal Faces 3". And the awesome sentiment is from My Creative Time's Just a Little Note to Say. I think it is perfect for this card!

As for the PERSONAL news I wanted to share the reason why I'm 'jumping for joy'. I'm happy to finally share with all of you that my husband and I are going to be having a baby BOY! We have two very sweet girls and are very happy to be adding a little boy to our family at the beginning of the summer. YAY! We are SO super EXCITED (JUMPING FOR JOY)! I also want to share a link to the sweet card that my Crafting Bestie Pam sent to me when she learned of the happy news. Click HERE to see her card. She is quite the enabler because now I think that I NEED the cartridge she used for this card. If any of you know where I can find the 9 Months Cricut Lite cartridge for LESS than $40, will you PLEASE let me know. Have a terrific LEAP day and I hope you find something to JUMP for JOY about today! Huge Hugs- Glora

Simply Crafts with Glora and Pam

Hello sweet friends! Today is the start of a fun challenge between me and my sweet crafty friend Pam at Simply-Pam. The first Wednesday of each month we are going to challenge each other to make something using a specific cut from a certain cartridge. This fun challenge was Pam's idea and so she chose the cut for this month. The cut is the clothes line from the Straight from the Nest cartridge.

I had to add my own little touch to the clothing by adding a Mickey icon. I also wanted the clothes line to go all the way across and so I changed that a little as well.

The sentiment for my card is from the My Creative Time - Mom You ROCK stamp set. I must admit that doing laundry isn't my favorite part of being a mom but those sweet little girl hugs and kisses make it all worth it. They are the best!

I can't wait to see what the very talented Pam has come up with for our challenge. I hope you will check it out. Pam is SUPER talented and makes BEAUTIFUL cards and projects. Click HERE to go to Pam's blog you won't be disappointed.

Birthday Hugs and Wishes

I made this card for my daughter's birthday. She LOVES elephants, pink and Action Wobbles. I knew that I better take some pictures of it before I gave it to her because I didn't know how long it would last after she played with it ;). I've entered it into the Whimsical Wednesday Challenge and the Cooking with the Cricut Challenge.

The Action Wobble is attached to the ball and so the elephant is really trying to keep its balance. He he! Here is a quick video of it wobbling.

Items Used:

B is for Boy Cricut Lite Cartridge

I attached the kite to an Action Wobble so it could sail through the air. Here is a quick video of showing that.

Smile, It's Your Birthday!

This is the card that I made for my nephew's birthday.

I made my own patterned paper for this card. I used some glossy stamping paper and the super cute Robo Star stamp by Market Street Stamps. I used my Versamark ink pad and then added some white embossing powder. I heat set the embossing and then with a sponge and some different shades of red and orange ink I sponged the background. I haven't used this technique in a really long time. I forgot how much I like it.

The little robot from B is Boy Cricut Lite cartridge is attached to an Action Wobble. I didn't have time to make a short video, but I'm pretty sure most of you can imagine it wobbling back and forth saying "Smile, it's your birthday," in robot language. Thanks for stopping by. I hope it is a great day!

Items Used:

*B is for Boy Cricut Lite cartridge
*Peachy Keen Stamps- mouth and nose are from some discontinued stamp sets. The eyes are from the Everyday Character Face Parts

Have a Sham-rockin' Day!!!!

Alright, I just got my stamps from Emma (My Creative Time), and can I tell you they are AMAZING! They are so SUPER cute and they stamp like a dream because they are manufactured by Peachy Keen Stamps. Those of you who are Peachy fans know what kind of quality that is. Emma has designed some gorgeous stamps!!!

While I know that St Patty's Day is a ways off. I had this idea for this stamp and had to make it. This sentiment comes from the I Believe in Leprechauns stamps set. I hope you like it.

Here is a closer look at this adorable stamp set

I had to attach the shamrock to an Action Wobble, so it could be rockin'. So here is another really short video.

Peachy Keen Challenge and News

I have some WONDERFUL and VERY exciting Peachy Keen Stamps news. I was lucky to be chosen as a Peachy Keen Stamps Guest Designer for 2011. This means that the week of August 22-26th, 2011, you will see a week full of Peachy Keen fun on my blog. My posts for that week will also be posted on the Peachy Keen Stamps Blog. I will also get to give away a Peachy surprise donated by Peachy Keen Stamps during my guest week. I'm so happy. I love Peachy Keen Stamps. I've tried out for a few design teams in the past and haven't made the cut. Although this is only a guest designer position I couldn't be happier. Thanks so much for the opportunity Peachy Keen Stamps! And thanks to all of you for endulging me in this little celebration. For a full list of Guest Designer's Visit Peachy Keen Stamps Blog.

I made a card for the current Peachy Keen Stamps Challenge. The challenge was to do some embossing on your project. I finally found me the Polka Dot Cricut embossing folder and decided to try it out. This is a shape card made with the Very Merry Tags Cricut cartridge. So yes, it is supposed to be a tag, but I thought it would make a cute shape card.

I love snow people and these Peachy Keen Stamps make her look SO cute. I also love my twine. I think it definitely adds to her scarf.

I have had a bunch of people ask me about the twine. I have bought mine at a local scrapbooking store for 15 cents a yard. They have twine from both The Twinery and Divine Twine. However, I found an awesome sampler pack that The Twinery offers. It is $14.95 for 120 yards of twine in all 8 colors. Shipping was reasonable, so if you are in the market for some twine this is a great deal. Just click HERE to go to this offer.

Tennis Birthday Card

My nephew loves tennis. So I made him a tennis birthday card. I am also submitting this for Emma's throwback Thursday challenge, since it is Sports related. I don't have Sports Mania yet, so I had to go with my Everyday Paper Dolls. I love that you can find almost anything you need from Paper Doll Dress Up and Everyday Paper Dolls. I had so much fun making this ball and racket look somewhat real. I added bakers twine for the racket and some electric tape for the racket handle and then some fun flock for the tennis ball to make it fuzzy. I love how it turned out. I hope you like it too.

Here is a side angle to see the bakers twine and fun flock a little closer.
