Penguin Birthday Card

Hello! It has been a LONG time since I have posted on my blog. That doesn't mean I haven't been crafting, because I have. Things have just gotten busy around here. I didn't realize that having two children in school and to help with homework would take that much longer but it does. I wouldn't change it for the world though.

Anyway, I made this card for my niece's birthday. She loves penguins and she loves ice cream so it seemed like the perfect combination for a birthday card.

I followed the basic sketch for the current Peachy Keen Challenge:

                                     

For my card I used an SVG that they used to sell at KaDoodle Bug Designs but she is no longer available for purchase. I used the Critter Faces - Large by Peachy Keen Stamps and I used a few My Creative Time products: Bunch of Fun Circle Dies, Vintage Sentiments, and Trio Stitched Banner Dies. 

I hope you have a very sweet day! Thanks for stopping by! Hugs- Glora

Happy 1st Day of School!

Well, after more than a month I'm finally back with a crafting post. You probably didn't even miss me but that's okay too. I have been enjoying my summer with my children. They will be back in school in a couple of weeks. I can't believe how fast the summer is flying by. Today I made some cards for my girl's teachers for the first day of school.

This first one follows the color/photo inspiration challenge at My Creative Time.

The frog cut file is from Lettering Delights. The paper is American Crafts. The cute little face comes from the PKSC-06 June 2012 Stamp Kit of the Month. I used the Bunch of Fun Circle Dies, Fun Stitched Edges and Gift Card Sentiments all by My Creative Time.

My 2nd card is very similar but I followed the current Peachy Keen Stamps sketch for this card.

The products used for this are the same as the ones listed above.

I hope you are all having a terrific summer too. Have a great day! Hugs- Glora

Happy Father's Day!

I made this shape card for my husband for Father's Day. It is also a shaker card. It was a lot of fun to FINALLY make a shaker. I also learned A LOT about making them from trial and error :). It was loved by my husband and my children too.

This card was made with only My Creative Time products. The circle shape is the largest of the circles from the new Bunch of Fun Circle Dies. I used the three smallest circles to make my Mickey icon (I cut the bigger circle and then I cut each ear). Since there is stitching on the negative it gives a fun effect to my Mickey icon (the stitching does overlap just slightly but I love it). I filled the shaker up with tiny little micro-beads I've had on hand forever. The sentiment is from Here's Lookin at You. Since it was for my husband and with a masculine theme I'm entering it into the current My Creative Time challenge.

I hope you have a terrific day. Hugs- Glora
