Dance Recital Gifts...

Well it is 3D Wednesday at My Creative Time and that worked out great with the fact that my daughter's needed some dance recital gifts for their friends and teacher.

My oldest girl danced to a song called Celebrate You. That was PERFECT because Emma has a stamp that says Celebrate You on her Many Greetings stamp set.

I also used the new Stitched Journal Die and the Scallop and Stitched Circle Dies. I LOVE Emma's products. It seriously made these treats a SNAP to put together.

For my younger daughter one of their songs was called Topsy Turvy Flowers and so I made them all a cute flower clip that they could wear in their hair.

For these I used the sentiment from Floral Sentiments and the Flower Petal Dies.

Sorry about the glare from the plastic on these.

And last of all a quick gift card in a gift card holder for their teacher.

For this I used the Flower Petal Die, the Embossed Gift Card Holder and More Gift Card Sentiments. Whew. I think that is it.

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

Thinking of You - Clean and Simple

Here I am with a CAS (clean and simple) thinking of you card.

The paper is all Core-dinations. And the cuts are from the Shall We Dance Cricut cartridge. The beautiful sentiment is from My Creative Time's Floral Sentiments stamp set. I hope you enjoy this quick and easy card. Hugs- Glora

Sympathy Card and LOTS of FUN coming your way this week!

Hello and happy Monday! I wanted to share with you a sympathy card and then some fun things that will be happening this week.

I think these are the hardest kinds of cards for me to make so I kept it fairly simple. I have never tied my ribbon off like this before (off to the side) but I've seen Nikki do it and thought I would give it a try. I really like how it looks.

The background was stamped with the Punched Tin background stamp by Market Street Stamps. The sentiment is from the Floral Sentiments stamp set by My Creative Time. The ribbon is 3/4" May Arts Twill Ribbon with Chevron Print and that ADORABLE little black flower is from Liz's Paper Loft Boutique.

Tomorrow I hope you will all join us for an awesome Halloween and Fall inspired blog hop at Peachy Keen Stamps. There is also going to be a one day SALE too.

Then on Wednesday and Thursday there will be sneak peeks of Emma's newest release over at My Creative Time. Then we will having a blog hop on Friday. You are going to LOVE this new release.

I hope to see you back here for these fun events. Have a terrific day! Hugs- Glora

MCT April Release Blog Hop

Hello there My Creative Time friends and welcome to the April stamp and die release. If you came here from Cindy's blog you are in the right place, if not make sure that you start back at Emma's blog so you can get the whole blog hop in.

For my project today I made gift wrap for a present. I used 3 items from Emma's newest release. The background flowers that I stamped my wrapping paper with is from the Bloom Where You are Planted stamp set. The beautiful 'Happy Birthday' sentiment comes for the Floral Sentiments stamp set (I just stamped Happy and Birthday separately so they would fit on my tag). I also used both of the Rolled Flower Dies to make my flower. 

I have picked up a lot of fun new tips and ideas for these flowers this week from Emma and the rest of the team. For this flower I used 2 of each die cut to make my flower. I did a very loose flower (almost flat), one slightly tighter (but still fairly flat), one almost normal and one super tight and layered them all inside each other. It turns out to be a pretty good sized flower (about 2 1/2" instead of the 1 1/4" ones that I made yesterday). I think it makes the perfect little accent for a present.

Here you can see the dimension just a little bit better.

Here is what I used from the new release:

MCT April Release Sneak Peek Day 3

Hi, My Creative Time friends and welcome to day 3 of Emma's new release. Today we are featuring an awesome set of sentiments and a beautiful set of dies to make rolled flowers out of. These flowers are BEAUTIFUL and I really LOVE these sentiments too!

I made a little gift bag and added a sentiment from the new Floral Sentiments set. These sentiments have a really pretty font and a they are a great size too. I also made one of each type of flower from the Flower Dies.

I used some silver leaves that came with some sequin flowers I bought a long time ago and I added some Stickles to the edges of the flowers. They are just too pretty and sparkly in person. I think these dies will be getting A LOT of use around here!
