Chickie Easter Tags

The new March 2014 Stamp Kit of the Month at Peachy Keen Stamps is SO CUTE!!! I can not get enough of it! I just HAD to color up these ADORABLE little chickies! 

Aren't they the cutest?! All sweet and fluffy! Gotta love them! I made up some cute little Easter tags using the March 2014 SKOTM by Peachy Keen Stamps and the Just Tags Dies by My Creative Time. I also added some May Arts Chevron ribbon, hemp twine and other small embellishments.

I hope these chicks make you smile as much as they made me smile. I'm going to add this to the linky party going on HERE at Peachy Keen Stamps. If you bought any of the new stamps for the March release you can link up your projects HERE too.

Have a great one! 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.

PLEASE make sure to check out the other fun projects on Emma's blog. My design team sisters are AMAZING!!!! You won't be disappointed. Hugs- Glora

MCT 26th Release Day 1

Happy Monday! My Creative Time is having their 26th stamp and die release and today we are showcasing some very fun stamps and dies. I was actually able to sneak in something from all of the sets that we are sneak peeking today. I also threw in a few oldies but goodies too.

First the new stuff: Chevrons are totally in right now and with the new Build a Chevy Background you have so many options. I had SO much fun playing with this set. The 'You've been BOOed' stamp is from the new Fright Night set. The '10*31' is from Spooky Starry Night. The cute little stitched ghost die is from the Stitched Spooky Ghost Dies. Now for the old stuff: I used the Stitched Fun Ticket Dies, the Stitched 3x4 Journal Die, the stitched circle from the Scallop and Stitched Circle die set, for my tombstone I used the Just Tags die and last but not least the cute little face is from last month's release Things I Love.... I thought it fit my "CUTE" ghostie perfectly.

I added a little ribbon and voila a cute little card to give someone when we BOO them this coming Halloween!

Sneak Peek giveaway!

Tag it Tuesday - Sunshine

Hello, today we are starting a new feature at My Creative Time and it is called Tag it Tuesday. On these days we will be sharing tags with you. Our tags today were to use the color combo of red, orange and yellow. Here is my tag:

I made everything for this tag using some of My Creative Time's dies (except for the face and the twine I added). I used the Stitched Circle Die from Scallop and Stitched Circle Die Set for the sunshine. I used one of the mustache dies from What's Growing On? for the sun's rays. I used the Just Tag dies for my tag and I used the cute little tab from the new Stitched Round Tab Arrow and Tag. It doesn't fit perfectly on this double tag but with the twine run through it you can't tell. The cute face is from the In the Garden Face Assortment by Peachy Keen Stamps and the twine is from The Twinery.

Make sure to check out everyone's tag at My Creative Time. Have a great day! Hugs- Glora

Christmas Tags for Christmas in July

Over at Peachy Keen Stamps we are celebrating Christmas in July all month long. Yay, I might actually have some cards and tags ready to go this year.

I had fun using some of the oldie but goody Christmas sets by Peachy Keen Stamps to make up these tags:

For the tag base I used a die by My Creative Time called Just Tags. I LOVE this die. I also added some twine from The Twinery to the top of each tag.

Here are some close ups:

These cute little boy and girl penguins are from the Penguin Doll Set. Kathy make some of the cutest penguins ever. I colored these two penguins up with Tim Holtz Distress Markers and then did the blue outline with one of my Copics.

This sweet little ginger is from the Gingerbread Boy stamp set. This fun set comes with 3 different face options for the gingerbread boy. It is such a fun set. I colored this one up with my Copic markers.

And Last of ALL:

  

Santa! Isn't that one of the sweetest Santa images you have seen? I absolutely LOVE this set as well. It is called Peachy Keen Santa Set. This was also colored with my Copic Markers.

I hope you enjoyed my Christmas Tags. Merry Christmas in July! Hugs- Glora

Cute as Can Bee Tag

I have a quick post for you today. I wanted to remind you to get your final day of sneak peeks in at My Creative Time. Tomorrow will be the blog hop and the day you can buy all of your new goodies!

I'm also popping by to share a tag that I made using some older My Creative Time dies called Just Tags and some new Peachy Keen Stamps that will be available for sale tomorrow.

The little bee was a freebie from one of the last sales at PKS and is PK-199 Baby Bee. I love this little cutie. The sentiment is from a new set of Peachy Keen Stamps called Honey Sentiments so make sure to look for it on Friday HERE. I paper pieced and colored the baby bee. I also added crystal Stickles to the wings. The ribbon is May Arts Chevron Ribbon and it is tied off with hemp twine from Liz's Paper Loft Boutique. Have a great one and I'll see you tomorrow! Hugs- Glora

Scrapping the Little Things

Hello friends. Today we are scrapping the little things at My Creative Time. I have years worth of pictures and mementos that I have never scrapped not to mention the stuff for my children. For today, I decided to work on where I last left off on my college scrapbook. 

I went with a project life style page with clean lines and little fuss. It made this page really quick and easy. I think I could make some headway on my scrapbook if I did these simple sort of pages more often. It is really the pictures I will want to see anyway. I added some pictures and a postcard of a visit to The Alamo. 

For the top tag I used Just Tags along with the alphabet and numbers from Just Simply Live. For the bottom tag I used the Fancy Frame Stamp and Die set along with a sentiment from Just Simply Live.

Make sure to stop by Emma's blog to see what everyone has made. Hugs- Glora

MCT September Release Blog Hop

Hi and welcome to the My Creative Time September Release Blog Hop. If you came here from Cindy B's blog that you are in the right spot, if not make sure to go to the My Creative Time Blog to get the whole hop in.

I've got a few quick things to share with you and then I will send you on your way.

First a quick and easy treat bag for a large chocolate chip cookie.

I used the new All Around Goodies for ALL of the stamps on this. I also used the Scallop and Stitched Circle Dies. I borrowed Ruthie's idea of adding some glossy accents to my cookie. The bag is a glassine bag from Liz's Paper Loft Boutique and that pretty trim is a picot ribbon from Liz's Paper Loft Boutique. I must admit that this cookie is not homemade and it is NO LONGER fresh baked ;).

If you need some REAL quick Christmas gift card holders this project is just the trick. It doesn't take much time at all just a few die cuts and little bit of stamping.

For this one I used Emma's Embossed Gift Card Holder Die and Gift Card Sentiments. I also used the new Just Tags for the tag and the Just For You stamp set for the tree. For the embellishments I added a few star adhesive rhinestones, some hemp twine from Liz's Paper Loft Boutique and a little ribbon.

And last of all I have a Halloween layout to share. My children love Halloween for the TREATS. I mean who doesn't love a bag full of SUGAR? Anyway, I thought these stamps and dies along with some previously released ones would make a fun layout.

The teal and orange squares along the top are for some 2.5 x 2.5" pictures. The middle mat will be for a 4x6 inch picture.

To the side of the main image mat I used the new Just Tags Die and stamped it with a sentiment from Treats for my Sweet. This is a removable die and just slides in and out so that I can add some personal journaling. The hemp is once again from Liz's Paper Loft Boutique.

Along the bottom I used images and sentiments from both the All Around Goodies and also from last year's All Around Halloween. I also used the Scallop and Stitched Circle Die.

MCT September Release Sneak Peek Day 2

If you are looking for the Peachy Keen Blog Hop just click HERE.

Well are you loving Emma's new mini release this month? I'm so excited to have these new My Creative Time stamps and dies. They are going to make my holiday treat giving a breeze.

When I first saw the new tag it seemed the perfect size to make a little treat slider with. I used Mini Hershey's Milk Chocolate candy bars for all of these but I believe something like a Laffy Taffy would probably work too. I made one for each of the upcoming holidays.

Here is a close up of the Halloween one:

For this one I used the new Just Tags along with last months stamp set called Treats For My Sweet. When you pull up on the ribbon the candy slides up with it, thus a TREAT slider. The slider idea wasn't my own I have seen a couple of YouTube videos in the past that showed hot chocolate and apple cider sliders I just added my own twist by making it a treat slider. This is what it looks like when you pull up on the bow:

My girls were pretty enchanted with how it could slide in and out. Simple but fun and a breeze to make.

Here is the Thanksgiving one close up:

For this one I used a Turkey from the Peachy Keen Country Bumpkin Minis stamp set along with the letters from the Just Simply Live stamp set by My Creative Time. These would make cute little Thanksgiving name place markers. The will actually stand up on their own with the candy inside.

And last of all this is a close up of the Christmas one:

For this one I used the new Just Tags, the Scallop and Stitched Circle Die, the new All Around Goodies and the previously released All Around Christmas.

Here is a REALLY quick video showing how to put one of these together. It is just music playing in the background because the kids were being lively :).

You will notice that I started the video with my tag cut out kind of like a card. I have another video that shows you how to do that with dies. You can find that video in this POST. You DO NOT have to do it that way. You could just use REALLY tacky glue on each side of two tags or you could machine stitch the sides as well. I just thought it would be easier to have one side already stuck together.
