Fun Note Cards

Here are some fun and simple note cards that I put together pretty quick. I got TONS of inspiration for using these new stamps and dies from Emma and her My Creative Time design team. I decided to join the current monochromatic challenge going on at My Creative Time with THIS card (the rest were just for fun):

I went a little crazy with this next one. I'm not sure I like it as well as the others but I figured I'd show it anyway. Plus I REALLY love the font for the Gracias. I think it is my current favorite font that Emma has been using!

And how about one going a different direction?

These cards took very little time and I was able to mix and match the pieces from all of them to make the cards in a short amount of time. All of these cards use the new Fun Gift Pocket Sentiments and the Stitched Chevy Dies from My Creative Time's February release. However, the last card features a unique item from the others (a heart). This heart die is from the Stitched Heart Layering Dies.

I hope you have a terrific weekend! Hugs- Glora

MCT 27th Release Blog Hop

Welcome to the My Creative Time's 27th Stamp and Die release. If you came here from Courtney's blog than you are in the right spot if not you will want to make sure you get the whole hop in by starting at the My Creative Time Blog.

I have a pretty simple project for you today. I used some of the new items and some of the old to make a little mini postcard (shape card) to send with a Christmas gift to some of my sweet friends in France.

Here is a rundown of all of the My Creative Time products that I used for this card and envelope. For dies I used the existing Stitched 3x4 Journal Die and the Stitched Heart Layering Dies. Then I also used the new Scallop Stitched Envelope Die (I love that cute little envelope). I also used several new and old stamps. The older stamp sets I used are Beary Special Thoughts (for the bear) and Warm Holiday Fun (for the stocking). The new stamp sets that I used were the Build a Postcard and the Postcard Add-Ons.

Here are some pictures of the new products that I used:

I Miss You!

Today is the 2nd day of sneak peeks from Peachy Keen Stamps newest release. These sets are perfect for the pet lover.

Today I made a 'missing you' card:

Isn't he such a sweet little puppy? The dog and the sentiments are from the Howling Puppy stamp set. I used the Stitched Heart Layering Dies and the Stitched 3x4 Journal Die by My Creative Time as well.

Make sure to stop by the Peachy Keen Blog to see lots of awesome inspiration. Hugs- Glora

PKS Sneak Peeks Day 3

Well we are already on day 3 of sneak peeks for Peachy Keen Stamps newest release. Aren't these babies and farm animals the CUTEST? I hope you have been enjoying the sneak peeks as much as I have.

For my projects today I made some bookmarks for my girls

All the stamps come from the May 2013 SKOTM. I just love these farm animals SO much! They have such cute accessories too! I colored them both with Copics. I added some ribbon and some hemp twine from Liz's Paper Loft Boutique.  The tags, hearts and banner's are all dies by My Creative Time and you can find them in her store HERE.

There is also this awesome circle with a heart in the SKOTM. It is actually meant to be a wheel for the wagon/stroller but I thought it would make a cute background for either a wedding or anniversary card. So here is my CAS card that took about 5 minutes to make and everything stamped on it is from the May 2013 SKOTM by Peachy Keen Stamps too.

Make sure to stop by the PKS blog to see what other awesome projects the other designer's have for you. Have a great evening! Hugs- Glora

Valentine's

I wanted to drop by and quickly share a couple of Valentine's that I had made for the challenges over on the Peachy Keen Connection last week.

1st my Elephant Valentine:

This cute elephant is from the Peachy Keen/ CottageCutz stamp and die set called Happy Go Lucky Elephant. The sweet little heart is from Emma's 100% Sweetness stamp set and the sentiment is from the My Creative Time Lots of Love Stamp set.

and here is my 2nd Valentine:

This is my little LOVE skunk. She is also a Peachy Keen Stamps/ CottageCutz stamp and die set called Stinky Skunk. The LOVE sentiment comes from My Creative Time's Lots of Love stamp set and the sweet little hearts are MCT's Stitched Heart Layering Dies.

Have a SUPER day! Hugs- Glora

Valentine Gift Bag

Hello crafting friends. Today is 3D Wednesday over at My Creative Time and we were supposed to recycle something. I love to reuse bags that people give me gifts in instead of throwing them away.

I had fun using a lot of Emma's most recent release for this. The 'lots of love' and 'be my Valentine' sentiments are both from the Lots of Love stamp set. The 'XOXO' came from the Chocolate Greetings stamp set. I used the Stitched Scallop Heart Die and the darling little Stitched Heart Layering Dies too. I can't get enough of this sweet Valentine release.

I also used the ADORABLE January 2013 SKOTM by Peachy Keen Stamps. I can't get enough of these darling bears either. I am submitting this to the current Peachy Keen Stamps photo inspiration challenge.

Here is a close up for you :). 

Make sure to stop by Emma's blog to see what the design team made by 'recycling' something. Hugs- Glora

LOVE Banner

Well I'm back and it is time for another 3D Wednesday at My Creative Time. Today we all made some sort of banner. It could be a large banner, a small banner attached to a card, whatever so long as we included a banner.

I LOVE making banners for holiday decorations. Some are small and go on my door and others are rather large. This one is one of my smaller door banners.

I used lots of fun My Creative Time products for this little banner. Each piece of the banner is made using the Tag Dies as the base. I used the darling Stitched Heart Layer Dies for all the little hearts. I used the beautiful new Stitched Scallop Heart Die set for my 'O'. I also used the following My Creative Time stamp sets for the sentiments on the hearts: Chocolate Greetings and Lots of Love.

I also used stamps from the new January 2013 Stamp Kit of the Month by Peachy Keen Stamps. 

Here is a close up of each piece of the banner.

The letters were cut at 2.5" from the Opposites Attract Cricut cartridge. I also stamped the bears on tan paper and chalked them up for the shading.

I used Glossy Accents on the eyes and noses. For this cute girl bear I used two of the smallest hearts from the Stitched Heart Layering Dies to make her little bow. I just added a small heart shaped rhinestone to finish it off.

 I pop dotted a bunch of the hearts up too. I love the dimension on this in real life. This is probably my new favorite holiday banner.

This bear's face is the only PKS stamp that did not come from the January 2013 SKOTM. This one is from the Critter Faces XL stamp set. 

My banner was strung together with some pretty red and pink twine from Trendy Twine.

I'm kind of hoping you can see the dimension on the banner a little bit better on these last couple of shots.

I'm entering this banner into the current Peachy Keen 3D Challenge which is supposed to include bears in it.

Make sure to stop by Emma's blog if you haven't already for some awesome banner inspiration. Have a fabulous day! Hugs- Glora 

My Creative Time December Release Blog Hop

Welcome to the My Creative Time December Release Blog Hop. If you came here from the talented Cindy B's blog than you are in the right spot if not make sure to start back at the My Creative Time Blog to get the full blog hop in.

For my project I made a coordinating card and envelope. I have a sweet crafting friend Amanda that does this all the time. I love the look and wish I took the time to coordinate my cards and envelopes more often.

The A2 sized background was made using the new Love Collage. The darling little stitched hearts are the new Stitched Heart Layering Dies, The postage stamp shape behind the girl is the new Stitched Postage Frame Die. And last but not least from the new release is the sentiment from the envelope. It is from Emma's new Chocolate Greetings stamp set.

The little girl image is actually an angel from the January 2012 SKOTM by Peachy Keen Stamps. I just cut off her wings and halo to make it a little girl. The cute little rose in her hair is from Liz's Paper Loft Boutique.
