Happy Mother's Day Card

It is time for a new Peachy Keen Challenge and this time to join in the challenge you have to make a CARD! The card needs to have a Mother/Grandmother theme. Pretty simple and fun. I hope you will join in the fun challenge HERE.

This is the card that I made.

These darling bears are on the Create a Critter 2 Cricut cartridge. The faces are stamped with the Cute and Cuddly Face assortment by Peachy Keen Stamps and the sentiment is from the May 2012 SKOTM by Peachy Keen Stamps. I added some faux stitching with some Sakura Gelly Roll pens.

I hope you have a wonderful day. Check out the challenge over on the Peachy Keen Stamps Challenge blog and join in if you can! Hugs- Glora

Have a FABULOUS Birthday!

Well Pam and I are having are monthly cut challenge. Pam chose the cut this month and it was the cute little graduation dog from the Create a Critter 2 Cricut cartridge. I didn't need a graduation card but I always need birthday cards so I made my little pup into a birthday card.

Well how about the details? For the face I used Peachy Keen Stamps Critter Faces XL size. I stamped the eyes only and then I chose a mouth from the set and stamped it. The awesome birthday sentiment comes from one of Emma's newest release sets called More of My Favorite Sayings. I used two Cuttlebug embossing folders, Traffic Jam and Tiny Bubbles. I also did some inking, accenting with my gel pen and I added a little Glossy Accents to the eyes.

I can't wait to see what Pam did with this cute cut. Make sure to check it out HERE. And HAVE a FABULOUS day! Hugs- Glora

You and Me

Hi, I'm just stopping by really quick to show you a card that I made for the current Peachy Keen Challenge. The challenge is to make a card using hearts. I made a heart shaped card.

All of the cut pieces come from the Create a Critter 2 Cricut cartridge. The Koala cut is normally just the girl koala but I wanted to have a boy koala too so I just copied and flipped the image in my Gypsy. I used the Critter Faces (Medium) stamps from Peachy Keen Stamps. I love how cute they make these images. The sentiment is from Emma's new Lots of Love stamp set.

Other than that I inked the edges with Distress Ink and added some accents with my gel pen. I added Glossy Accents to the noses and eyes and some Trendy Twine for the girl's bow. I hope you enjoyed my card. Hugs- Glora

MCT Designer Challenge - Large Tags

Hi, it is time or another My Creative Time Designer Challenge. Today Ruthie is hosting the challenge and we are making large tags (4" x 6" or larger). Fun, right? Make sure to stop by the My Creative Time blog to see TONS of awesome inspiration and to join in on the fun!

This tag is about 5" x 8". I cut it from the Sweet Treats Cricut cartridge (I love the tags on this cartridge). The cute little gingerbread man (4.5") is from the Create a Critter 2 cartridge. The paper is a Christmas stack by DCWV. The gingers face is from the Winter Faces by Peachy Keen Stamps. The pretty trims at the top are both from Liz's Paper Loft Boutique and of course that AWESOME LARGE sentiment is from Emma's It's A Magical Season stamp set. Hugs- Glora

BOO - Simply Crafts October 2012

It is the first Wednesday of the month and that means that it is time for another Simply Crafts Challenge. Today we are using the vampire bat cut from the brand new Create a Critter 2 cartridge. Normally we would want you to only use this cut or a similar one, but since it is the 1 year anniversary of our challenge blog we are going to let you submit ANY new Halloween themed project. Check out the Simply Crafts Challenge blog (HERE) for more details.

I had lots of fun with this cutie. My card is 4.25 x 4.25". I used a BRAND NEW Peachy Keen Face stamp for my bat, the set this face came from will be released on Friday and is called Piles of 3/4" Smiles (so this is also a little bit of a sneak peek too :)). The large sized boo sentiment is from the Halloween Holler Spooky Tree and Cat set by Peachy Keen Stamps. The bat, cloud and moon were all cut from the Create a Critter 2 cartridge. I added some Stickles to the black areas on the bat, when that dried I added some glossy accents. I was getting impatient for the glossy accents to dry so I started to use my heat gun to speed things up. I moved it around so it wouldn't get too hot and burn, well it started to burn a little anyway so I stopped and let it dry. When I was able to get back to it several hours later the wings had dried with a bit of an outward curve. I actually LOVED the dimension that added to the bat. Here is a side view so you can see what I'm talking about.

Can you see how far those wings stick out? I love it and I hope you do too. 

Make sure to stop by Pam's blog (HERE) to see what she did with this cut and how she did it. I've already seen her card and it is an ADORABLE little scene. You won't want to miss it. And if you would like to join in on the fun please link up at the Simply Crafts Blog and don't forget there are still lots of sneak peeks going on at the Peachy Keen Stamps Blog and it is also 3D Wednesday over at My Creative Time. Hugs- Glora

My Creative Time Beary Special Blog Hop

***If you are looking for my Peachy Keen Blog Post scroll down to the next post.***

Even though its not quite Halloween, Emma has decided to give you all a "Beary Special Treat"! This doesn't cause weight gain but will cause CUTENESS OVERLOAD! Included in this hop, you will see a "Beary Special" stamp set that was designed by Emma for this special hop!  Also, joining us for this hop are 5 VERY TALENTED "Guest Designers"!  

Well you really are in for a treat especially if you love teddy bears as much as I do. You should have arrived here from Debbie's blog but if not make sure that you start back at the My Creative Time blog so that you don't miss a single stop.

I made a couple of projects because I LOVE this set SO much. First up a card:

This adorable little koala bear is from the new Create a Critter 2 Cricut cartridge. The heart background shapes are also from that cartridge I just made it into a shape card using my Gypsy. The ADORABLE little face on the koala is from the Critter Faces - Medium stamp set by Peachy Keen Stamps. And of course that AWESOME sentiment is from the brand new Beary Special Thoughts stamp set by My Creative Time.

My Second Project is a layout.

The brown section is a 5.25 x 7.25 mat for a 5x7 photo. The pretty picot trim across the top of it is from Liz's Paper Loft Boutique.

Here is a close up of the top part of the layout.

These little bears and the stitched hearts are from the new Beary Special Thoughts stamp set. The sentiment is also from the set. It comes straight and I just curved it on my stamping block so that it would follow the curve of the paper. The twine is from Trendy Twine.

And last of all here is a close up of the larger bear at the bottom of the layout.

This little cutie was made using an old Coluzzle set that I have. That pretty pink polka dot paper in the background is actually flocked and oh so pretty and soft. It is by Doodlebug Design the smaller polka dot paper is also by Doodlebug Design. The brown paper is Core'dinations. The cute little face is from the Cute and Cuddly Face Assortment by Peachy Keen Stamps. The heart is a My Creative Time Die that comes with the 100% Sweetness stamp set. And the sentiment once again comes from the Beary Special Thoughts stamp set by Emma.
