Happy Anniversary Tag - 55 Years

Today's project is near and dear to my heart. It is for my parent's 55th wedding anniversary. I feel very blessed to celebrating this day with them. We almost lost my dad about a year and a half ago and I'm treasuring every moment we have with him.

My love of all things Disney came from many early childhood memories with my family. We are all kind of Disney nuts. Anyway, when Emma came out with her Stitched Pretty Flowers & Leaves last month I knew that the little flower circles would make a cute Mickey icon. What do you think? 

Emma's products made this tag SO easy and I think it turned out really cute too. Don't you love how that stitching around the circle makes a little Mickey head? This tag is going to be tied onto some new luggage that my parents need for their anniversary trip to Disneyland.

Here is the backside of the tag (the perfect spot to add a gift card for their trip too):

I LOVE this little pocket for gift cards. Isn't it perfect?! Here are the items I used for this tag (all of which are My Creative Time products): Tag Dies (tag), Vintage Stitched Label (banner), Stitched Pretty Flowers & Leaves (Mickey icon), Stitched Sweetheart & XOXO Dies (hearts), Tag Gift Pocket Die (gift card pocket), Fun gift Pocket Sentiments (a little something sentiment), Gift Card Sentiments (happy anniversary sentiment), and All Around Birthday Time (55th sentiment).

I hope you enjoyed my little tag! Have a wonderful day! Hugs- Glora

Items Used:

Tulips for Mother's Day

I made this card for my sweet Mother-in-law for Mother's Day.

I used lots of My Creative Time products on this and all of the paper is from PaperTrey Ink. For my 3x4 shape card I used the following My Creative Time products: The Stitched Grass Die (grass), the Stitched 3x4 Journal Die (shape card), Stitched Pretty Flowers and Leaves Dies (tulips and stems), the Stitched Sweetheart and XOXO Dies (hearts inside the flowers), and the Cartoon Cloud Background stamp.

I used the Stitched Gift Card Pocket Die for my gift card and the sentiment comes from the More Gift Card Sentiments stamp set.

This is the card with it's coordinating envelope. The Stitched 3x4 Journal die fits perfectly inside the Scallop Stitched Envelope Die. I added another Tulip and then some sentiments from the Mom, You Rock stamp set.

I'm entering this for the current challenge over at My Creative Time. The challenge is to make a project for Mother's Day with at least one flower on it.

Have a wonderful day! Hugs- Glora

MCT April Sneak Peeks Day 3

Wow, here we are already at the 3rd day of sneak peeks for My Creative Time's new release. I'm so thankful to be guest designing for Emma for this months release!

I have a couple of cards for you today. The first is a fun little scene created by using stamps and dies from the new Wishing You Were Here set.

Aren't those dies with coordinating stamps sweet? I LOVE them! The only other thing I used for this card beyond this new stamp and die set is the Stitched 3x4 Journal Die.

I had intended on using these beautiful Stitched Pretty Flowers and Leaves Dies as they were designed to be used but took them out of the bag with the tulips being upside down. They looked just like little Pac-Man ghosts to me so I just HAD to go with the idea. I grew up playing a fair amount of Pac-Man and so did my husband so we both got a kick out of this card.

I used several things for this card. First off the ghosts, the power pellets (circles), and the ghosts eyes were all cut using the new Stitched Pretty Flowers and Leaves Dies. Pac-Man was cut with the Scallop and Stitched Circle Die (I was able to cut the perfect little wedge out from his mouth by using one of the points from the 3 Star Stitched Dies). I used the Stitched 4x6 Journal Die to get the lines of stitching on the black and yellow pieces. The HAPPY and BIRTHDAY across the top and bottom come from Chocolate Greetings and the HB2U comes from the Fun Gift Pocket Sentiments.
