My Favorite Stamp of the Month for May at My Creative Time

Hi, today I'm sharing a card I made for the My Favorite Stamp of the Month over at My Creative Time. This month there are two sets that will we are showcasing and they will be on sale this month as well. The sets are Just a Little Note to Say... and My Favorite Sayings. For my card I used My Favorite Sayings.

I love this sentiment! The cute little bee come from a stamp set by Peachy Keen Stamps called Faceless Bugs. The octagon shape is a Spellbinders die that I won a while back. I hadn't really used it yet because I don't have the little foam insert to do the embossing, but I figured I could still cut out the shape anyway. The ribbon is from Pebbles Inc. I also added a little bit of Crystal Stickles and some faux stitching with my black Sakura Gellyroll pen.

Here are some other projects I've made using these stamps sets in the the past (there is a link to the original post below each picture)...

I have a fun little card that I made for the Peachy Keen Stamps Let's Face it Friday Challenge. For the challenge we were supposed to use a pun and a Peachy Keen face stamp.

For the dragonfly I cut the base layer twice so that the wings could 'flutter.' The darling sentiment is from the stamp set called My Favorite Sayings by My Creative Time. I love this super cute paper by Die Cuts With a View. It is called the Citrus Stack and I find myself reaching for it ALL the time. Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you have a fabulous day. Hugs- Glora

My Creative Time's Design Team Day

Today Emma has asked us to make a tag and to use one of her stamp sets. She asked me to use 'My Favorite Sayings'. I really LOVE this set. It has some sentiments that are some of my favorite saying too! Please make sure to stop by Emma's blog to see what fun inspiration Emma and the rest of the Design Team have in store for you. Also make sure to check out Emma's beautiful projects on Everyday Cricut. She has been Guest Designing over there all week and her projects have been AMAZING!

I think Emma's stamps look so cute on these! They are the perfect touch and just what I would want to say too. I also used the Mom You Rock stamp set for the word 'daughter' on the banners at the bottom of the tags. I didn't use my Cricut on these. I used an old Sizzix Die Cut that I had. That way I could line up the patterned paper perfectly with the tag cut. I also added a large eyelet to each tag. Does anyone use these anymore? I really do like them, but I don't use them as often as I could/should. I finished them off with some doodling and some ribbon or baker's twine. My daughter is going to love these. It will be fun to drop a little note on the back and give to her. I hope you like them too.

I wanted to submit this for the Whimsical Wednesday Challenge. The challenge was to make something without your Cricut and to add some sort of old school embellishment - for me that was my eyelets.

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!
