Yummy Chocolate Sucker Valentine

I had these yummy chocolate suckers that I got from See's Candy. I wanted to dress them up for the recipients and so I made these little sucker holders.

I used a bunch of Emma's, My Creative Time, products to put these together. I used the Stitched Lollipop Holder for the main piece. I used the Scallop and Stitched Circle Dies to layer on top (these items coordinate perfectly). I decided that I wanted to cut a heart out of the middle of the circle piece (to let the pretty red metallic paper show through). I used the new Stitched Sweethearts and XOXO dies, I thought these were perfect because they left the pretty stitching on the outside of the cut. I stamped the sentiment using the All Around Holidays stamp set. I used some pretty Peppermint Stick Trendy Twine to hang my hearts (these were the insides of the heart that I cut out of the circles). I also tied a quick twine bow at the top.

I thought I'd enter these into the the Trendy Twine Valentine treat packaging challenge. I have one more Valentine's post. I might just get it up tonight. We will see. I hope you are having a great Saturday! Hugs- Glora

MCT 5 Days of Christmas Day 1

Welcome to the 1st day of My Creative Time's 5 Days of Christmas.

Are you looking for some fun Christmas ideas. Well Emma's blog will be the place to find TONS of inspiration and some fun prizes too.

I made this simple little Hand Sanitzer holder for my project today. Emma's My Creative Time products make these projects SO easy.

I saw my design team sister, Cassandra, add one of the cute bows to one of these and knew I had to borrow the idea. You can see some she did HERE. I used the Stitched Lollipop Holder for the holder, the Small Stitched Scalloped Bow Die for the bow and one of the awesome ornament dies from the Warm Holiday Fun stamp and die set. 

Make sure to check out what the other designers have for you today on the My Creative Time Blog. Hugs- Glora

Back to School - Hand Sanitizer

It is 3D Wednesday over at My Creative Time and for my project I had decided to dress up some hand sanitizer for some back to school gifts. We all know how those little germs like to spread around a school so I got the huge (40 oz) pump hand sanitizer for my daughter's new teacher and the little 1 oz bottles for each of my girls.

For the large cover I cut the apple paper with the Stitched 3x4 Journal Die (I manipulated the cut in my Cuttlebug to make it 3x6. I used the Vintage Stitched Label Die and the Vintage Label Stamps for the kraft piece. For the white circle I used the Stitched Circle from the Scallop and Stitched Circle Die as well as the All Around Everything stamp set. I punched some holes with my hole punch and tied it off with some ribbon.

For the 1 oz bottles I used the Stitched Lollipop Holder Die with the Scallop and Stitched Circle Dies. And once again I stamped it with the All Around Everything stamp set. The apples are some buttons that I bought at Michaels and have had on hand for a while.

Make sure to check out Emma's blog to see what everyone has made! Hugs- Glora

My Creative Time 3D Wednesday - BIRTHDAY

Hello. It is time for another My Creative Time 3D Wednesday and today all of our projects are going to have a birthday theme to them.

I thought I would throw together a couple of simple but nice birthday favors/gifts. Emma's products make this SO easy to do. For my first project I made a little hand sanitizer holder.

All I did was use the My Creative Time Stitched Lollipop Holder, The Scallop and Stitched Circle Dies, I used the All Around Birthday Time stamp set for the sentiment and Anyday Bingo and Crossword for the cute little cupcake. Then I accented with some Stickles and twine and voila I was done. Super easy.

My next project is a little treat box.

For this one I used the Bubblegum Treat Box Die, The Stitched Circle Die and the All Around Birthday Time stamp set. I heat embossed the crown with silver embossing powder and added a few gems and a little bit of Stickles to it. I also used some pretty twine to tie the sides together. Again super easy but cute.

Make sure to stop by Emma's blog for TONS of birthday inspiration! And don't forget she will be starting her early release on her birthday May 10th! It is an awesome release and you won't want to miss it.

Have a terrific day! Hugs- Glora

MCT 12 Days of Christmas Day 8

Hello friends and welcome to the 8th day of Emma's 12 Days of Christmas. If you arrived here from the talented Cindy's blog you are in the right spot. If not make sure to start at Emma's blog.

Today I have a fun project using Emma's Lollipop Holder Die. I want to start out by letting you know that this is NOT my original idea. I saw some darling boxes while I was blog hoping and when I saw these I KNEW that I wanted to make something like this using the Lollipop Holder Die. Click HERE to see Jayne's blog where I got my inspiration. She also made a cute Santa and a reindeer that I think would look really cute on this Lollipop Holder Die as well.

I cut out a 2" circle for the face and stamped it with Peachy Keen Stamps Everyday Character Face Part stamp set. I braided some twine for a scarf and tied a little bow. I added a few rhinestones and I was done. For the inside I just added a little travel size hand sanitizer like Veronica had shown us. They fit PERFECTLY.

My Creative Time's November Stamp release BLOG HOP!

Welcome to the My Creative Time November Stamp Release Blog Hop! If you came here from Cindy's amazing blog you are in the right spot, if not make sure to get the whole hop in by starting at Emma's blog.

Today I am showcasing the Touchdown stamp set. I have a couple of simple projects for you and then I will scoot you along you way on the hop. The first is a card...

I used a watermark ink pad and clear embossing powder for this card. The footballs and the quarterback are both from the Touchdown stamp set and the I {heart} football is from the Sports Sentiments stamp set. After heat embossing I inked all the edges with Tim Holtz distress ink and I was done.

Next I made a few lollipop holders in our favorite college football team colors...

These were made with white cardstock, Emma's stamps and dies and some Tim Holtz distress ink (even the blue scallops, I just inked them up so that they would match perfectly). Every stamp on here is from the Touchdown stamp set except for the #1 which is from the Sports Sentiments set. As far as dies go I used the new Lollipop Holder Die and the Scallop and Stitched Circle dies.

Here is a closer look at the Touchdown stamp set:

MCT November Stamp Release Sneak Peek #4

Hello friends and welcome to day 4 of My Creative Time's newest stamp and die release. Today I get to share a stamp set called Classmate Valentines and the Lollipop Holder Die. I think these sets today are my absolute favorite of this release. SO many possibilities. I made up 3 lollipop holders for you to see...

I did something different with each one, just to show you how versatile this set can be...

For this one, I used the Lollipop Holder Die along with the Scallop and Stitched Circle dies that it coordinates with perfectly. Isn't that little zebra super cute?!

For this one I only used Lollipop Holder Die along with just the stitched circle die. This look is kind of fun because you can still see the stitching on the scallops of the Lollipop Holder Die.

And for this last one I just stamped directly onto the Lollipop Holder Die. So if you don't have the Scallop and Stitched Circle Die set you can still use this die and stamp set for lots of stuff. The darling little ladybugs with heart spots are also on the Classmate Valentines  stamp set.

There were so many options for this stamp set and I wished I had found the time to make one with every sentiment and image because they are SO darling, but hopefully between everyone that made projects you will get to see a good variety. Make sure to stop by Emma's blog so you can see what she and the rest of the Design Team made.

Can I say I'm REALLY looking forward to Valentine's Day!!! But what I love is that this die works with all of Emma's round sentiments so I can be making some of these up for Christmas, birthday parties and such before Valentine's Day even gets here. SO many options... so little time...
