MCT 3D Wednesday - Baby or Wedding Shower Favors

Hi today is another 3D Wednesday at My Creative Time. For our project today we were to make a baby shower favor or a wedding shower favor. When I think favors I think quantity. I know that A LOT will need to be made so I tried to think of something quick to put together but cute too. Emma's products are just perfect for this sort of thing.

I got my inspiration for using the Bubblegum Treat Box this way from my MCT team mate Cassandra (See HERE). I also was inspired by one of her projects to layer the cute little baby feet from Anyday Bingo and Crossword inside the Build a Banner circle die and The Stitched Circle Die (see HERE). Thanks Cassandra.

Here is my favor:

The My Creative Time products that I used are: Anyday  Bingo and Crossword (baby feet), Build a Banner Kit (small circle die), Scallop and Stitched Circle Dies (larger circle), All Around Everything stamp set (Welcome Sweet Baby sentiment), Bubblegum Treat Box Die (the box). The paper comes from the DCWV : Citrus Stack and the hemp twine comes from Liz's Paper Loft Boutique.

I can't wait to see what everyone else made. I'm certain that it is ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS!!!! Make sure you stop by the My Creative Time Blog to check it out. Hugs- Glora

Peachy Keen Stamps August Stamp Kit of the Month Sneaks

I'm SO excited to share with you some 3"x3" note-cards that I made with August Stamp Kit of the Month by Peachy Keen Stamps. This is just the cutest set of school stamps and the possibilities for school and non-school projects are unlimited. The faces you can mix and match with this set are just ADORABLE too.

Here are my cards:

Are any of you like me and sometimes you have to drop your child's teacher a quick note but you don't just want to grab a piece of paper? These are going to be perfect for me to have on hand for just this reason.

Here are close ups of each card.

Every single sentiment, face and image comes from this new release and all of the patterned paper is from the DCWV: Citrus stack.

Have a terrific day and make sure you stop by the Peachy Keen blog to see what everyone else is making with these BEAUTIFUL stamps! Hugs- Glora

Sweet Pumpkin Trio

I know that Halloween has come and gone but I received this darling Pumpkin Trio, that I won, in the mail and I just had to use it for the Peachy Keen Let's Face it Friday Challenge!

I had to take the picture at a little bit of a weird angle because all of the papers are super shiny/sparkly and my camera only liked this angle - LOL. The darling pumpkins and their faces come in the Pumpkin Trio CottageCutz die set. And the sweet little Trick or Treat sentiment is from My Creative Time's Mixed Holiday Sentiments stamp set. The little oval that it is stamped on is Emma's Stitched Oval Die.

I will be back soon with something non-Halloween. Have a great one! Hugs- Glora

Whimsical Wednesday Halloween Blog Hop

Hello crafting friends. Tonight is the start of the Whimsical Wednesday Halloween Blog Hop. If you came here from Joni's blog than you are in the right place, if not make sure to get the whole hop in by starting at the Whimsical Wednesday Challenge Blog.

For my project today I have some Halloween treat bags and a card set. So on with the show. Here is my card set:

These are fairly simple cards. I used one piece of 12x12 patterned paper by SEI for all 4 cards. I got the paper at the Scrapbooking USA Expo. This piece of paper did all the work for me. The images were fun, embossed and have a fun metallic look too. The ribbon is all crinkle ribbon by the Prairie Bird Boutique. I did 4 different treatments with it. A regular bow, a double bow, and a couple of variations on a bunched up style. I learned most of these techniques from Kimberly at My Craft Spot. I added the darling Mini Ghost from Peachy Keen Stamps. I colored her up with some Copics that I'm still trying to figure out how to use - LOL. But I think she still turned out pretty cute. And all of the perfect sentiments along with that cute little spider come from the All Around Halloween Stamp set by My Creative Time. I love how they fit the cards perfectly. The fun thing about acrylic stamps is that you can make them wavy or straight like I have on these cards. Okay, I think that is about it on these, I just have a close up of each card.

I also have a couple of very simple treat bags to show you. These don't take long at all to whip up:



For these I used the XL Label Die by My Creative Time. I cut them out and then I stamped them with the coordinating border stamp from the Whimsical Calendar Days stamp set. I stamped them with the I {heart} candy stamp from the Mixed Holiday Greetings by My Creative Time. Next I folded them in half and punched some holes for my square SEI brads. I put the brads in and turned them at an angle. I added some more beautiful crinkle ribbon from the Prairie Bird Boutique and some Stickles to the insides of the hearts and I was done. These could easily be mass produced for school treats or something like that. The patterned paper I used is from the DCWV Citrus Stack.

We have a lot of amazing sponsors for this fun blog hop, they are as follows:

1. Trendy Twine: Original Sample Pack

2. Trade Fish Designs: Rest In Peace Stamp Set
3. Prairie Bird Boutique: one bundle of Shabby Crinkle Ribbon-you get to chose the bundle.

You Are My Sunshine Note Card

Good morning friends. I have a quick card to share with you today. I made this note card for the current Let's Face it Friday challenge over at Peachy Keen Stamps. We were supposed to make something that radiated the warmth of the sunshine. I thought that red, orange and yellow were perfect for showing the warmth of the sunshine. I also inked the edges of everything to give it a little more warmth.

This beautiful dotted border stamp is by My Creative Time. It is called Small Talk. The sentiment is from Emma's Turn That Frown Upside Down stamp set. The face is from Critter Faces by Peachy Keen Stamps. And all the paper is from the Die Cuts with a View Citrus Stack.

Items Used:

*Just Because Cards Cricut cartridge

*My Creative Time stamps - Small Talk

*My Creative Time stamps - Turn That Frown Upside Down

Monday Madness... Imagine That!

Hello friends and welcome to another Monday Madness... Imagine That with My Creative Time. Today, I have a simple birthday card for my nephew. I used patterned paper since I don't have an Imagine. I also used My Creative Time's Anyday Bingo and Crossword stamp set.

 

The little Mickey heads are a paper punch I got from Disneyland and the idea here is confetti. I used twine and a Zig glue pen for the strings. And the balloons are actually a Disney Cuttlebug set called, Disney Celebrations Cut and Emboss Set. Make sure you stop by Emma's blog to see what she and the design team have in store for you! Have a wonderful day! Hugs- Glora

Sneak Peek #3 - My Creative Time September Stamp Release

Wow, this week is flying by. Welcome to day 3 of sneak peeks over at My Creative Time. Today we are showing a die and a stamp set. The Die is called the XL Label Die and the stamp set is called Whimsical Calendar Days. This set is another one that could be used for all sorts of projects.

First I made a really simple birthday card (the beautiful shape around the calendar is the die). I also used Wow! So Many Candles stamp set for the birthday sentiment:

How fun would these be for all sorts of birthday and anniversary cards, not to mention holidays and special events?! Oh yes and scrapbook pages and more! So many possibilities.

Another thought that I had for this stamp and die set was to make a small shape card. Something you could just stick on a gift or hang off the edge of a gift bag.

If you don't know how to make a shape card out of a die and would like to see a short video tutorial click HERE.

This is what the inside looks like:

I made the shaped card out of white cardstock and then I cut an extra die cut in patterned paper to layer on top of the front. I used a heart punch and some glossy accents to highlight the special day.

Sneak Peek #1 - My Creative Time - September Stamp Release

Hello My Creative Time friends. Today is the start of another awesome stamp and die release from My Creative Time. Today we are showcasing the stamp set called Game Night. My family is really into playing games together. We have all sorts of fun board games and I lovingly refer to my mom as the Yahtzee Queen. So with today's set I thought it would be fun to make a game night invitation, something that I would actually love to make for our next big family game night.

Doesn't this little cutie look excited to play Bingo? This girl cut is from the Beyond Birthday's Cricut cartridge (she is on button #4 across the top of the overlay or on page 93 of the booklet). She is just supposed to be a silhouette image, but I thought it would be fun to cut her out three times, once in peach, once in yellow polka dots, and once in brown. From there I hand cut the dress, hair and barrette. I must admit that I did not like the way the hair turned out the first time so I used part of a hairdo from the Everyday Paper Doll Cricut cartridge to make it look better. The face is from the Princess Faces stamp set by Peachy Keen Stamps. And last but most definitely not least the darling bingo board and sentiment are from Emma's new Game Night stamp set.

I also did the inside of this card up just a little bit:

I want to make sure that you know that the 'Date:' and 'Time:' stamps are NOT on the Game Night stamp set they are from the "Honey Do" List stamp set that has been out for a while. I just thought that they coordinated PERFECTLY on here. See how the fonts match and everything. The darling dies and 'Let's play!' sentiments ARE on the new Game Night set.

Sneak Peek Giveaway Time!

Simply Crafts with Glora and Pam #6

Hello, and welcome to the first Wednesday of the month and another fun cut challenge between me and Pam. It was my month to choose a cut. I recently got the Baby Steps cartridge and haven't had a lot of time to play with it yet so I wanted to use it. I said we could do either the baby boy or the girl sleeping on the moon cut. Mine is a simple shape card (but a little more tricky without my sweet Gypsy).

I LOVE this sentiment from Emma's newest stamp release called Encouraging Quotes. I think it is perfect for this cut. This particular cut doesn't include the stars, I just added some stars from the Baby Steps cartridge. I inked all the edges. And this baby would not be NEARLY as cute without that darling Peachy Keen face stamp from the Just Baby Faces assortment! It is just the sweetest set for baby cuts!

I hope you will make sure to stop by Pam's blog and see what she made with this cut. I'm a little late getting my post up and I already saw what she made. It is ADORABLE!!! You will LOVE it! So what are you waiting for click HERE to see her beautiful card and video!

Items Used:

*Baby Steps Cricut cartridge

*My Creative Time stamps - Encouraging Quotes

*Peachy Keen Stamps - Just Baby Faces

*DCWV - Citrus Stack

*DCWV - Nana's Nursery
*Inks for inking

*Zig Marker

My Creative Time - Release 7 - Sneak Peeks Day 2

I just got home from vacation and didn't have time to participate in Day 1 of sneak peeks but make sure you stop by Emma's blog (My Creative Time) for a lot of cute sneaks. Today is Day 2 of the sneak peeks and we are all using 'Inspiring Words' and 'Inspiring Words Accents.' These are two different sets and can be used separately or bought and used together. They are super cute and mix and match so well. And the Inspiring Words Accents comes with the super cute little shape that I stamped the sentiment in.

I recently bought the Playtime cartridge off of E-bay and I thought this little girl praying would be perfect with this combination of Inspiring Words and Inspiring Word Accents. I really believe in the power of prayer and I think this will be a great pick me up for someone needing that reminder. The darling little face is a Peachy Keen Face. It is from a set called Just Baby Faces.

Remember to comment on Emma's project and all the design team member's projects for a chance to win a set of your choice of Emma's stamps. And don't forget to share about it on FaceBook and Twitter. She may just chose someone spreading the news to receive that set of their choice.

Simply Crafts with Glora and Pam #5

Hello and welcome to a new month and another Simply Crafts with Glora and Pam. This is the first Wednesday of the month and so it is time for another cut challenge for Pam and me. This month Pam chose the cut. She chose the cute little baby rattle on the Sugar and Spice Cricut Lite cartridge. It is always a good idea to have some baby cards on hand. I discovered that I had a lot of spare baby girl cards so I wanted to make a baby boy card.

The cute sentiment is from Emma's (My Creative Time's) All Star Baby set. This set has SO many super cute baby sentiments on it. I LOVE it. I'm so excited to see what Pam has come up with for this cut. I hope you will drop by and see what she has created. She is SO talented! Click HERE to go to Pam's blog.
