3D Wednesday with My Creative Time - St Patty's Day Treats

Hello and welcome to another 3D Wednesday at My Creative Time. 

For my project today I made little St Patty Day treat holders. My mother-in-law had brought my girls the cutest Valentine treats in containers just like this (except with a heart cut out and they were pink and red but you get the idea - the STYLE was the same). Anyway, after my girls had taken the candy out I opened it up and saw how easy it would be to replicate in my Gypsy and so I did. 

All it took was a rectangle from Plantin' Schoolbook (3" by 8") welded to a scallop edge from Plantin' Schoolbook (3" wide). Then I added a shamrock from the Designer's Calendar cartridge (add it upside down because when you assemble it will end up right side up). I cut it out and then I scored it a 3.25", 4.75" and 8" and voila, I was done with the basic container.

After cutting and scoring I decided to clear emboss the front with the cute Lucky Day Shamrock background stamp by Peachy Keen Stamps and I added a fun sentiment from Emma's darling I Believe in Leprechaun's stamp set.  I REALLY love these two sentiments I used because they are PERFECT to use ANY time of the year.

For the candy I put it in a tiny treat bag and stapled it in place. Then I added the white scallop piece to cover the staple and a little bit of twine and I was done. Easy but cute. I hope you enjoyed these. I can't wait to see what Emma and the rest of the design team have in store for us! Hugs- Glora

MCT November Stamp Release Sneak Peek #2

Hello My Creative Time friends!!! Well it is day 2 of sneak peeks and I'm sneaking the Slam Dunk stamp set. I made a small treat holder using a square box from Plantin' Schoolbook Cricut cartridge and two basketball jerseys off of the Sports Mania Cricut cartridge. The silhouette image on here is a stamp from the Slam Dunk stamp set as well as the sentiments. I made my first one in black and white...

I decided I would vary it up a bit and made a red and black one with a different sentiment from the Slam Dunk stamp set.

Well that's it for me. I can't wait to see what Emma and the rest of the DT came up with today. So if you haven't yet, hop on by.

LINK UP and Day 2 of My Guest Designer Week over at Everyday Cricut

Once again, I just wanted to share my projects from my guest designer week over at Everyday Cricut ! Wow what an awesome opportunity that was. I'm truly blessed. If you've seen this great, if not I hope you enjoy it.

I wanted you all to have a chance to link up anything you've made for fall if you would like. I also want to remind you that the Whimsical Wednesday Halloween Blog Hop is coming up Friday night, October 7th at 7:00 pm EST.  Okay, I think that is it, the fall project link up will be at the bottom of this post. And now onto the repeat post....

Today I'm back with a fall gift bag.

This cute bag is from the Plantin' Schoolbook Cricut cartridge that came with my Expression. The beautiful fall leaf is from the Straight From the Nest Cricut cartridge.

The awesome stitched circle and scallop at the top of the bag are a die set from My Creative Time (Scallop and Stitched Circle Die set). The beautiful fall sentiment inside the stitched circle comes from the All Around Halloween stamp set by My Creative Time. The leaf in the very middle is just a punch I have had around for a long time.

For the pattern on the leaf and the bag I used a beautiful background stamp by Market Street Stamps. The background stamp is called Cane. I stamped the bag (before assembling) and the leaf with the background stamp (using Versamark Ink). Then I heat embossed them with clear embossing powder. I always love the shine and texture this can add to a project.

I hand stitched and gathered together some cream ribbon and then attached it with some adhesive along the inside at the top just to dress it up a bit. Then last of all I finished it off with just a little bit of rafia for that final fall touch.

My Creative Time - August Release - Sneak Peek Day 2

Welcome to day two of sneak peeks at My Creative Time. Today we are using an adorable stamp set called 'Mixed Holiday Greetings.' We are also using a new die and stamp combo called the 'Fancy Frame Die and Stamp Set.' For my project I made a tri-fold card. Here is the front of the card:

When you untie the ribbon you can lift up the flaps to reveal the inside of the card:

I re-tied the bow from the outside on the inside just for the picture, but you can see where the holes where the ribbon is threaded through. 'Warm holiday wishes' is another sentiment from the Mixed Holiday Greetings stamp set and the darling shape it is stamped on is the darling new 'Fancy Frame Die and Stamp Set.'

True Love Lasts Forever

I have another anniversary card for my parents to share with you today. This one is a larger one (8 1/2 x 5 1/2) so that everyone could write a little note in it for my parents. The sentiments are all from My Creative Time's 'You Had me at Chocolate' stamp set. I LOVE this set SO much. I've used it for way more than Valentine's cards.

Oh yes, and several of you asked about the clip art I used yesterday. They still have an active site and you can still purchase several of there clip art packages to download on your computer. I will put a link on yesterday's post, and I will also leave you a link HERE.

Thanks for dropping by today. I hope you all have a wonderful Independence Day weekend. Hugs- Glora

Disney Diaper Cake with an Action Wobble

So I mentioned that I made baby shower invitations for my sister's baby shower. I also made her a diaper cake for a decoration at the baby shower. We had gone with a Minnie Mouse theme with the invitations so I stuck with that for the diaper cake too.

This project was a combined Cricut and Disney Print Creations project. I love the Disney babies on the print program. They are so sweet.

I put an Action Wobble on the Mickey and Minnie on the rocking horse cake topper. It was perfect. Everyone loved making them rock back and forth.

Here is a quick video showing the Action Wobble topper in motion:

PKS 36 - Rainy Day

Time for another Peachy Keen Stamps challenge. This is a sketch and color challenge (melon, daffodil & cobalt). I tried to think of things that might naturally be these colors and this is what I came up with. You can always click on the picture if there are certain details you would like to see better.

Well this is my cute little ducky girl in her rain boots and splashing in a rain puddle. The scallops are the storm clouds. I chalked them with a gray edge (it doesn't show up very well in the picture). The blue banner brings a little sunshine. Thanks for looking. I had a lot of fun with this and I really like how it turned out. Below is the sketch for this challenge. You should come and join in the fun.

PKS Challenge 34

Peachy Keen Stamps is having another sketch challenge on their challenge blog. It is another super cute sketch. I just had to use one of my new die and stamp sets for this challenge. I ended up chosing the cute penguin for this project and I can't wait to put something together with the adorable little tear bear.

Below is the cute sketch we were given to work with.

I used the following items: Planting Schoolbook for the scalloped edge, George and Basic Shapes for the ovals and rectangels and Alphalicious for the cute scalloped oval. Of course my awesome amie, Gypsy, helped me size everything. And of course I used the ADORABLE Cottage Cutz Penguin Doll die and stamp set from Peachy Keen and The Scrapping Cottage.

Below is a close up of that cute little penguin. I chalked around the edges, but unfortunately I couldn't get it to photograph very well. Oh well, she is such a cutie and super simple to assemble!

Disney Birthday Wishes

This is a simple birthday card with a subtle Disney theme to it. My whole family loves Disney so I figure this card will work well for any upcoming birthday. I hope you like it too.

Happy Birthday is from Lyrical letters, the scallop is from Plantin Schoolbook, the Mickey icons are from Mickey Font. I added a little white dotting, some ribbon and a little bling. Did you notice the hidden Mickey I made from rhinestones? Have a supercalifragilisticexpialidocious day!

Peachy Keen Stamps Challenge 24

It's time for another Peachy Keen Stamp Challenge. I had a lot of fun with this one. Here is my take on challenge 24.

This is the sketch they gave us to work with, isn't it great?


The main stipulation for this challenge was that you need to use a Peachy Keen Stamp somewhere on your project.

Card recipe: The baby is from Everyday Paper Dolls. For the baby's face I used Peachy Keen stamps (the pacifier is from the Peachy Keen stamps set PK-573 Basic Paper Doll Faces and the eyes and nose are from the new Everyday Character Face Parts PK-493). I cut a headband from Everday Paper Dolls and added a Prima Flower and a rhinestone. The scallop circle is from Mini Monograms and the scallop edge is from Plantin Schoolbook. And all of the patterned paper is Provo Craft paper I have had in my stash for quite a while.
