Happy 50th Birthday Lorie!

My sweet friend Lorie is celebrating her 50th birthday today! I just had to join in the fun and make her a card for her extra special birthday. She is just the sweetest ever and I hope she loves her big birthday card surprise (lots of people joined in the fun).

I thought this turtle svg was so cute! It is from a set called Nancy's Party that is sold by Lettering Delights. I decided to make it into a shape card.

The adorable little turtle face is from the Pile of 1" Smiles by Peachy Keen Stamps. The '50' stamped on the hat is from Just Simply Live by My Creative Time and the HB2U sentiment along the side is from Fun Gift Pocket Sentiments by My Creative Time.

I used the basic color scheme for the current My Creative Time Challenge and so I'm linking it over there.

I had tons of fun making this card for Lorie and I will be sending it in the mail so she can have it soon. Happy birthday Lorie! I hope it is the BEST day!!!! Love ya!

Have a great one! Hugs- Glora

Sunny Hello

Today starts a new Designer Challenge at My Creative Time. Amy is hosting this challenge and the theme is Summer! It has been so hot here so I totally thought a sunshine card would be perfect. I actually made two cards.

The card is 4.25" x 4.25". For the sunshine image I used an SVG from Miss Kate's Cuttables called Summer Background Shapes. I stamped on a face from the Piles of Smiles 1" face assortment by Peachy Keen Stamps. The perfect little 'hello' sentiment comes from My Creative Time's new Tab Notes Stamp Set. I think it make for a fun yet simple summer note card.

Here is version #2:

This is a standard A2 size card. I used the same cut file from Miss Kate's Cuttables but I stretched it width wise to make it 5.5". The face for this one is from the In the Garden Face Assortment by Peachy Keen Stamps. The cute and swirly 'hi' sentiment is from the Teeny Tag Greetings set by My Creative Time.

Make sure to stop by Emma's blog to see Amy's challenge and to link up your own summer project as well. Hugs- Glora

More Teacher Appreciation

Well, I told you I would be back with more Teacher Appreciation week stuff.

Yesterday we sent this bag stuffed with school supplies with my daughter for her teacher.

This was super simple to put together. I used a kraft gift bag from our local dollar store (the come in 2 packs). I used the Thank You - BIG stamp set by Peachy Keen Stamps for the sentiment. The awesome tag is My Creative Time's Scallop and Stitched Circle Die and the the apple on top is a DCWV felt sticker. All the other little images on there are stickers. These stickers were made by Provo Craft years ago.

My second project is a post it note holder. I remembered Liz of Liz's Paper Loft doing a tutorial on this and thought I'd give it a try. It was super easy to do and I love how it turned out. I definitely see more of these in my future. There is a link to Liz's awesome video tutorial HERE.

The apple was cut from the Create a Critter Cricut cartridge. The face is the Piles of Smiles 1" faces by Peachy Keen Stamps and the sentiment is from the August 2012 SKOTM also by Peachy Keen Stamps. I added some Sakura Gelly Roll faux stitching and I was done. On the inside there are some personalized post it notes we had ordered for my daughter's teacher.

I hope you are enjoying these. Have a terrific day! Hugs- Glora
