MCT Designer Challenge hosted by Me

Today I get to host the My Creative Time Designer Challenge. My challenge is to make a set of 4, 3"x3" cards. If you are up to an extra challenge make the cards with a critter theme, but all that is REQUIRED for my challenge is a set of 4, 3" x 3" cards. I hope you will join in the fun and thanks to Emma for letting me host a challenge on her blog. To join the challenge go to Emma's blog (HERE).

Here is my set of 3" x 3" cards:

For these cards I used My Creative Time's Small Talk stamp set. It is perfect for 3x3 cards and it has an awesome variety of sentiments too. The faces are by Peachy Keen Stamps and are Cute and Cuddly Faces and the Everyday Character Face Parts 7-9". The Teddy Bear cut is this one HERE from Miss Kate's Cuttables (I just used the head of the cut).

I had to make little envelopes for my set of cards too, so here they are with their envelopes (made using the  3x3 Fancy Envelope Die):

I hope you will join in on the fun! Make sure to stop by Emma's blog to see what everyone else made and to join in the fun! Hugs- Glora

MCT Halloween Blog Hop and Sale

Hello and welcome to the My Creative Time Blog Hop and Sale. If you came her from Cindy L.'s blog than you are in the right spot. If not make sure to start back at Emma's blog so you don't miss out on any of these amazing projects.

My mom needed some money holders for the fish pond at her annual Halloween carnival.She does a fun carnival for the grandkids and always has a fish pond at the end where each kid gets to go through once and get a fun prize. Well some of them are getting a little older and she decided to give them some cash instead of a toy or trinket. I volunteered to help make some little money holders because I knew that Emma's Tri-Fold Card Die would make it a breeze.

I made 8 of these total (2 of each one). They are all for boys or married couples so I kept them pretty simply and fun. For this one I used a ghost from Paper Doll Dress Up and the face is from the Everyday Character Faces by Peachy Keen Stamps. The sentiment and bats came from Treats for My Sweet by My Creative Time and of course the awesome stitched Tri-Fold Card Die which is part of Card Sentiments set by My Creative Time.

Here it is opened up (I just adhered each side to make a little pocket for the money):

We are major Disney fans so I had to make a couple of Disney Halloween ones. 

This is a ghost I designed in my Gypsy. And the sentiment comes from the Small Talk stamp set.

Spider Mickey was also designed in my Gypsy. The Trick or Treat sentiment is from the Card Sentiments stamp set. This is the set that comes with the 3x3 Tri Fold Card Die.

This last one has a sentiment from Treats for my Sweet and the cat is from the PKS-CottageCutz Nikkity Knack Cat Die.

Simple and easy but fun. I love how Emma's products work together so beautifully.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

I just wanted to wish you all a very Happy New Year and I also have a quick little project that I made with my daughter. These are some quick, easy and simple New Year's Eve favors. They have little hand sanitizer's inside.

We used some blingy cardstock (Core'dinations) and then with Emma's stamps and dies the rest was a piece of cake. I used Emma's Small Talk stamp set for the 'Happy New Year', her Scallop and Stitched Circle Dies and her Lollipop Holder Die. We popped each layer up with pop dots because my little one LOVES helping with pop dots. Anyway, quick and easy but cute. I hope you all have a safe and Happy New Year! Hugs- Glora

Items Used:

My Creative Time stamps - Small Talk
My Creative Time Dies - Scallop and Stitched Circle
My Creative Time Dies - Lollipop Holder
Core'dinations Cardstock
Hand Sanitizer

MCT 12 Days of Christmas Day 6

Hello friends and welcome to the 6th day of Emma's 12 Days of Christmas. If you arrived here from the talented Cindy's blog you are in the right spot. If not make sure to start at Emma's blog.

Today I have another simple and fun project. Homemade gift wrap. All I did was use a white lunch sack. I stamped it up randomly, colored quickly and added some Stickles for a little extra fun.

The big snowman is from Emma's All Around Accessories stamp set. The JOY sentiment is from Small Talk. The heart is from Anyday Crossword and Bingo. For the tag I used the Scalloped and Stitched Oval Dies and stamped it with a sentiment and image from the All Around Christmas stamp set. I added some baker's twine from The Twinery in red and green and I was finished. This would be kind of time consuming for EVERY present, but fun for a few gifts that you want to give that little extra personal touch! I hope you like it!

Hello friend, it is the first Wednesday of the month again which means it is time for another Simply Crafts Challenge.

If you missed out on the big announcement last month, Pam (my crafting bestie) and I made our personal cut challenge into a challenge that you could join in too. Please come and join us at the Simply-Crafts Challenge Blog! We would love to have you play along!

This month I got to choose the cut and Pam sponsored the prize. The cut is the turkey from Create a Critter. I took a sneak peek at Pam's and it is TOTALLY cute and creative . I love what she did with it! You will have to hop on over to her blog HERE to get the details.

Here is mine:

I just LOVE this turkey cut and with that sentiment you have to know that she is sitting on an Action Wobble to make her wobble around! This is a shaped easel card, here is a little bit of a side view so you can see it better.

Hop on over to the challenge blog for more details and to see what a lucky random participant will win. Have a great one! Hugs- Glora

You Are My Sunshine Note Card

Good morning friends. I have a quick card to share with you today. I made this note card for the current Let's Face it Friday challenge over at Peachy Keen Stamps. We were supposed to make something that radiated the warmth of the sunshine. I thought that red, orange and yellow were perfect for showing the warmth of the sunshine. I also inked the edges of everything to give it a little more warmth.

This beautiful dotted border stamp is by My Creative Time. It is called Small Talk. The sentiment is from Emma's Turn That Frown Upside Down stamp set. The face is from Critter Faces by Peachy Keen Stamps. And all the paper is from the Die Cuts with a View Citrus Stack.

Items Used:

*Just Because Cards Cricut cartridge

*My Creative Time stamps - Small Talk

*My Creative Time stamps - Turn That Frown Upside Down

*Peachy Keen Stamps - Critter Faces

*DCWV - Citrus Stack

My Creative Time's Design Team Day - Teal, Red and Chocolate Chip!

***If you are looking for my Peachy Keen Stamps Guest Designer Day 3 post, scroll down or click HERE. If you are looking for my Day 4 post you can see it HERE***

Hello creative friends! Welcome to another My Creative Time Design Team Thursday! Today we are all making cards using the colors teal, red and chocolate chip!!! What a fun color combo. Make sure you drop by Emma's blog to see what she and my design team sisters have made. Here are my mini note cards (they are 3" x 3").

I had a lot of fun using Emma's darling 'Small Talk' set for these cards. They make the perfect little note cards! I stamped the borders in chocolate and the sentiments in red. I think these would be fun to tuck in my daughter's backpack or lunch on occasion. Great size for a little note!

The darling faces on the lady bugs and the eyes on the hedgehogs are from the new Peachy Keen Stamps face set called 'Winter Wonderland.' In fact thanks to Peachy Keen Stamps I am giving a set of these 'Winter Wonderland' faces away this week. Just make sure and comment on one or all of my Peachy Keen Stamp projects for this week while I am a Guest Designer (on my blog and on the Peachy Keen Blog)!
