MCT November Stamp Release Sneak Peek #2

Hello My Creative Time friends!!! Well it is day 2 of sneak peeks and I'm sneaking the Slam Dunk stamp set. I made a small treat holder using a square box from Plantin' Schoolbook Cricut cartridge and two basketball jerseys off of the Sports Mania Cricut cartridge. The silhouette image on here is a stamp from the Slam Dunk stamp set as well as the sentiments. I made my first one in black and white...

I decided I would vary it up a bit and made a red and black one with a different sentiment from the Slam Dunk stamp set.

Well that's it for me. I can't wait to see what Emma and the rest of the DT came up with today. So if you haven't yet, hop on by.

My Little Athlete - My Creative Time Sneak Peek Week

Well as I'm sure you know it is another sneak peek week over at My Creative Time. Well today wasn't my day to do a sneak but I couldn't resist sneaking a card in today with the new Sports Sentiments stamp set. I used this set to stamp a sentiment on the little outfit the boy is wearing.

I also made this card for the current Peachy Keen Sketch Challenge that goes through tonight. I used Peachy Keen Wide Eyed Kids face stamps for this little boy. I used the largest stamp in the assortment set and the little boy is from Baby Steps (cut at 5"). This card is also an easel card, so here it is opened up.

For the part that keeps the easel up I used Emma's Scallop and Stitched Oval Die set along with stamps from the All Around Birthday Time stamp set. All the patterned paper is by DCWV.

Now make sure to go to Emma's blog if you haven't already so that you can see all of the awesome projects and inspiration from her and the Design Team. Have a great day! Hugs- Glora

Sweet Pumpkin Trio

I know that Halloween has come and gone but I received this darling Pumpkin Trio, that I won, in the mail and I just had to use it for the Peachy Keen Let's Face it Friday Challenge!

I had to take the picture at a little bit of a weird angle because all of the papers are super shiny/sparkly and my camera only liked this angle - LOL. The darling pumpkins and their faces come in the Pumpkin Trio CottageCutz die set. And the sweet little Trick or Treat sentiment is from My Creative Time's Mixed Holiday Sentiments stamp set. The little oval that it is stamped on is Emma's Stitched Oval Die.

I will be back soon with something non-Halloween. Have a great one! Hugs- Glora

My Creative Time 3-D Wednesday

Hello My Creative Time friends. Today at My Creative Time we have made 3D projects to share with you. For my project I made a little favor box. 

These are really simple to make and just require a square piece of paper and something to score with. In the past I've only made these using 12x12 paper, however for this little one I used a 6x6 piece of paper. If you are interested in a video tutorial on the 12 x 12 size my friend Pam has a great one HERE.

I used Emma's All Around Birthday Time stamp set for the truffle and the round sentiment and I used her Scallop and Stitched Circle dies as well. The pretty ribbon is from the Celebrate It Sheer Creations ribbon line at Michaels. My friend Cassandra told me about it and I love it.

If you are interested in making these in different sizes I will give you some measurements below that might help you out (you can watch Pam's video HERE, if you don't already know how to make these, and then just adjust your paper size and score marks as stated below):

*The original 12x12 size is scored at 4" and 8" (when completed the base and each side panel is 4"x4")

*For a 6"x6" piece of paper score at 2" and 4" (when completed the base and each side panel is 2"x2")

*For a 7.5"x7.5" piece of paper score at 2.5" and 5" (when completed the base each side panel is 2.5"x 2.5")

*For a 9"x9" piece of paper score at 3" and 6" (when completed the base and each side panel is 3"x3")

And if you want to make a really tiny one...
take a 3"x3" piece of paper and score at 1" and 2" (when completed the base and each side panel is 1"x 1")

Simple Thank You Card

Hello friends. Today, I have a really simple thank you card to share. I'm going to be helping some ladies at my church put these cards together next week. I will be helping make 25 of this card and 50 Christmas cards (which I will show you later this week). Getting all the pieces ready to go is going to be keeping me busy, but I think we will have a lot of fun too.

The shape and the rose are both from the Shall We Dance Cricut cartridge. The stamps are from Emma's So Grateful For You stamp set. The textured paper is Core'dinations. Thanks for stopping by today! Hugs- Glora

Some Exciting News!!!

Hello sweet crafting friends! I'm SUPER excited to tell you that I am beyond THANKFUL and THRILLED to have been asked by Emma to continue on her My Creative Time Design Team for another term. I love working with Emma she is seriously the best crafty boss I know. She is AMAZING! I LOVE Emma's stamps and dies and I'm thrilled to continue creating with them as well. I also love the friendships that are made being on Emma's team and can't wait to get to know the new members of the team!!!

Emma wanted me to share a little bit about myself.

My name is Glora. I have an amazing and supportive husband and I am the mother of two darling girls. I LOVE staying home full time with my girls and working part time as an accountant. I'm an active member of my church and I play the piano during singing time for the children (3-12 years old). It is the BEST! A friend of mine teaches Zumba and I've been doing it 2-3 times a week for about 16 months. It is seriously addicting and I love it! I am a total and absolute Disney nut and can never get enough of that either!

In my spare time I like to be creating. I've paper crafted for as long as I can remember. I was introduced to the Cricut over 4 years ago and was hooked. A couple of years later I started to find crafting blogs to follow. This introduced me to the awesome world of Peachy Keen Stamps. I fell in LOVE with their stamps immediately. It was through Peachy Keen Stamps Challenge Blog that I found Emma at My Creative Time. I was always excited to learn from Emma and when she started up her Throwback Thursday Challenges I just HAD to join in the fun as often as possible! Last December Emma announced her new stamp line and I was thrilled. I instantly fell in love with her stamp style. They were the best around, in my opinion, so when she asked me to be on her design team I could not believe it!!! It was a dream come true! I'm SO thankful for Emma and for all of you as well. I'm so inspired by each of you and your creative ideas and talents. It is a blessing to call so many of you my friends!

Emma also asked me to create a project to share with you. I decided to use mostly stamps from the October release for this fun little gift bag.

Simply Crafts with Glora and Pam - Turkey Cut

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
