Beary Happy Birthday Wishes!

My daughter's teacher just had a birthday and she loves bears. I found this cute teddy bear cupcake file that I had picked up from Lettering Delights a while back. The set is called Nancy's Party and it is adorable. I used the teddy bear cupcake and made a cute little shape card with my Silhouette Cameo machine.

The sentiment comes from the Peachy Keen Stamps January 2013 Stamp Kit of the Month, The eyes came from the Everyday Character Faces 1.75" and the nose and mouth came from the Everyday Character Face Parts (all of which are no longer available for purchase). However, there are some very cute Teddy Bear Assortment Face Stamps that are still available (I have them and love them, they were just too small for my project). HERE is a link to the cute teddy bear faces if you are interested. 

I wanted to make this card double sided so here is what it looks like opened up. I think it is kind of fun.

I also used some Glossy Accents, an enamel dot and some chalk to finish up my card. I hope you enjoyed it and that you have a wonderful day! Hugs- Glora

Thank You for Being Such a Doll!

Today I am posting on the Peachy Keen Stamps blog and I'm using some AWESOME Peachy Keen Stamps and some beautiful Timeless Twine.

You can do so many fun things with twine. One of my favorite things to do is to add it for a realistic feature on a card. I also just love it for bows, accents, framing, you name it. It adds such a fun little touch to a crafting project.

Today I made a shape card to share with you.

These cuts were all done on my Silhouette Cameo with svgs from Lettering Delights. My card base is from the Bowl Full of Cherries cut it set and the cute rag doll is from the Rag Doll cut it set. Did you notice that I used twine for my rag doll's hair. Isn't that fun? For the hair I used the red/pink mix called Strawberry Cupcake. Then for the twine framing around the circle layers I used a pretty aqua/white/red mix called Firecracker.

For my darling rag doll face I used PK-673 Rag Doll Faces. This is an awesome set where the eyes, nose and mouths can be mixed and matched to your hearts content. The sentiment that I stamped around the card base is from two different sets. The 'thank you' that I used is from PKSC-13 the January 2013 stamp kit of the month. Then the 'for being such a doll' sentiment comes from PK-124 Thank You Dolls.

I used some Glossy Accents to add some shine to her eyes and her shoes. I finished it off with some faux stitching and a little chalk blush.

I hope you are enjoying these fun twine and stamp projects that have been shared on the Peachy Keen Stamps blog so far. Make sure to keep checking them out, these ladies have come up with SOME awesome projects. You will not be disappointed. Have a terrific day! Hugs- Glora

Valentine Gift Bag

Hello crafting friends. Today is 3D Wednesday over at My Creative Time and we were supposed to recycle something. I love to reuse bags that people give me gifts in instead of throwing them away.

I had fun using a lot of Emma's most recent release for this. The 'lots of love' and 'be my Valentine' sentiments are both from the Lots of Love stamp set. The 'XOXO' came from the Chocolate Greetings stamp set. I used the Stitched Scallop Heart Die and the darling little Stitched Heart Layering Dies too. I can't get enough of this sweet Valentine release.

I also used the ADORABLE January 2013 SKOTM by Peachy Keen Stamps. I can't get enough of these darling bears either. I am submitting this to the current Peachy Keen Stamps photo inspiration challenge.

Here is a close up for you :). 

Make sure to stop by Emma's blog to see what the design team made by 'recycling' something. Hugs- Glora

LOVE Banner

Well I'm back and it is time for another 3D Wednesday at My Creative Time. Today we all made some sort of banner. It could be a large banner, a small banner attached to a card, whatever so long as we included a banner.

I LOVE making banners for holiday decorations. Some are small and go on my door and others are rather large. This one is one of my smaller door banners.

I used lots of fun My Creative Time products for this little banner. Each piece of the banner is made using the Tag Dies as the base. I used the darling Stitched Heart Layer Dies for all the little hearts. I used the beautiful new Stitched Scallop Heart Die set for my 'O'. I also used the following My Creative Time stamp sets for the sentiments on the hearts: Chocolate Greetings and Lots of Love.

I also used stamps from the new January 2013 Stamp Kit of the Month by Peachy Keen Stamps. 

Here is a close up of each piece of the banner.

The letters were cut at 2.5" from the Opposites Attract Cricut cartridge. I also stamped the bears on tan paper and chalked them up for the shading.

I used Glossy Accents on the eyes and noses. For this cute girl bear I used two of the smallest hearts from the Stitched Heart Layering Dies to make her little bow. I just added a small heart shaped rhinestone to finish it off.

 I pop dotted a bunch of the hearts up too. I love the dimension on this in real life. This is probably my new favorite holiday banner.

This bear's face is the only PKS stamp that did not come from the January 2013 SKOTM. This one is from the Critter Faces XL stamp set. 

My banner was strung together with some pretty red and pink twine from Trendy Twine.

I'm kind of hoping you can see the dimension on the banner a little bit better on these last couple of shots.

I'm entering this banner into the current Peachy Keen 3D Challenge which is supposed to include bears in it.

Make sure to stop by Emma's blog if you haven't already for some awesome banner inspiration. Have a fabulous day! Hugs- Glora
