My Creative Time Gift Tag

Hello My Creative Time fans today I am guest designing for the super sweet and talented Miss Emma. I'm so glad that she has been able to have this time to be with her family while Baby Aaron has been recovering.

Today I have a tag to share with you. A friend of mine recently had surgery and I wanted to drop her off a loaf of banana bread with this tag attached to it.

I LOVE how well My Creative Time products work together. It made this tag a piece of cake to make and I think it will really brighten my friend's day. I used the Tag Dies for the tag, the flower image is from the Bloom Where You are Planted stamp set, and the sentiment is from Pain Pain Go Away.

I started with white cardstock and I colored the image with Copic Markers then I inked up the background with Tim Holtz Distress Ink. To finish it off I used some orange twill ribbon and just a bit of bakers twine.

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you will continue to keep Emma and her family in your thoughts and prayers! Hugs- Glora

Simply Crafts Challenge for April - Umbrella Cut

Happy 1st Wednesday of April and welcome to another Simply Crafts Challenge. This month Pam chose the cut and it is the umbrella cut off of the Paisley Cricut cartridge. There is a small "Peachy" prize for a random entry so make sure to join in the fun. You can find all the details on the Simply Crafts Challenge Blog HERE.

This is the card I made for the challenge:

I used the Lacey Labels Cricut cartridge for my shape card base as well as all the layers. Then I cut the umbrella cut from the Paisley Cricut cartridge. I added a little doodling with my Sakura Gellyroll pen and my Bic Ultrathin marker. The darling sentiment comes from the My Creative Time Pain, Pain Go Away! stamp set.

I hope  you will join in the challenge at the Simply Crafts Challenge Blog. And I hope you will check out the details on Pam's project too. You can do that at her new blog, Simply Pam's Creations HERE. Have a terrific day! Hugs- Glora

PKS Linky Party

Hello Peachy Keen friends. It is my first official Peachy Keen Design Team post and I'm super excited to share a couple of cards that I made with the January 2012 Stamp of the Month set by Peachy Keen Stamps. It is a super cute and very versatile set. I also wanted to let you know that we will be having a linky party over on the PKS Challenge Blog so that all of you can link up a Peachy Keen project too! I hope you will all join in the Peachy fun!

My first card uses the largest heart on the January 2012 Stamp of the Month set. I also used the XOXOXOXO A-2 Background Stamp for the background.

Isn't she a cutie? I just love that face. I colored her by inking her up with Distress Ink and Versafine inks in 3 shades of red (I've seen my DT sister Nikki do this with distress inks and had to try it). From there I did a little paper piecing. I will admit that I was too lazy to cut out all the little flowers so I added some Prima flowers and pearls instead. I also found out that this darling sentiment from the January 2012 stamp of the month set fit perfectly on Emma's Stitched Oval Die.

And here is my second card, I just could not get this idea out of my head until I made her up:

I used the smaller angel from the January 2012 Stamp of the Month set and colored her up. I trimmed her wings and halo off and added a face from the Just Baby Faces stamp set by PKS. I hand cut and inked up her legs. The bed is cut from the Sugar and Spice Cricut Lite cartridge. And the perfect sentiment for this scene is from Emma's Pain Pain Go Away stamp set.

Here is a closer look at this stamp set. Just imagine this full sheet of stamps at 8 1/2" x 11". They are big beautiful stamps. And there are SO many possibilities with this set, I just love the options just from interchanging the faces...

Make sure to stop by the Peachy Keen Challenge Blog to see what awesome inspiration the design team has for you and to link up your own Peachy Keen project too. Hugs- Glora

Pain Pain Go Away!

I have a super simple card for you today for the current Market Street Stamps Color Cue Challenge.

It is a little hard to see in this picture but I scored some lines to create a nice little border for my simple card. I also colored my own string (with a Copic marker) to match my little mosquito. I got this idea from Emma over at My Creative Time a long time ago but had never tried it before. It worked out perfectly. The cutest mosquito ever is from the 'Gone Campin' set by Market Street Stamps. The sentiment is from a set called 'Pain Pain go Away!' by My Creative Time. I added some Stickles to the wings and that was it. Thanks for stopping by today. Hugs- Glora

This first one uses Follow Your Dreams stamp set by My Creative Time and the Loopy Loo Polka background stamp by Market Street Stamps.

This one uses Turn That Frown Upside Down by My Creative Time and Paisley by Market Street Stamps.

This one is My Favorite Sayings by My Creative Time and Sweet Lace by Market Street Stamps

This one uses Pain Pain Go Away! by My Creative Time and Punched Tin by Market Street Stamps.

Here is a picture of all of them together.
