Hi and welcome to DD's Crafts Fabulous Fifty Birthday Blog Hop. If you just came here from.the awesome Gloria's blog then you are in the right spot if not make sure to go back and start at DD Crafts. You won't want to miss a thing.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEBBIE!!!

We were to make a project with any sort of a birthday theme. I have a darling niece that just turned one and I wanted to make her a special birthday card.

For this card I used the Baby Steps Cricut cartridge. The darling little face was made using the Cute and Cuddly Face Assortment by Peachy Keen Stamps and the perfect little sentiment is from Emma's Many Greetings stamp set. I made my own patterned paper on the kraft paper using My Creative Time's Follow Your Dreams stamp set.

You will want to make sure to comment on all of the blogs for a chance to win the grand prize from Debbie's blog!

Thanks for stopping by today. I should be your last stop of the hop. I hope you had fun! Here is a list of the blog hop in case you got lost along the way.

Monday Madness... Imagine That (Congratulations on Your Baptism)

Hello My Creative Time friends and welcome to another Monday Madness... Imagine That. For these projects we always make something with our Imagine Machines or something Imagine like if we don't have an Imagine. I don't have an Imagine so I used patterned paper and a background stamp to make my card Imagine like. 

Emma had asked us to use the colors chocolate, teal and red. I also got to use her Many Greetings stamp set. I LOVE this set because it has a little bit of EVERYTHING on it! This was PERFECT timing for using this stamp set too because my daughter just got baptized on Saturday and it had the perfect sentiment for that. The girl on this card may look a little older than you might expect for a baptism card, but in my church children don't get baptized until they are 8. My little paper doll's darling face is from the Happy :Lashes Face Assortment by Peachy Keen Stamps. I also did some clear embossing on her dress with the Sweet Lace background stamp by Market Street Stamps. I really love the white on white effect it gives.

Make sure to hop on over to Emma's blog to see what she and some of the designers have for you today! Have a wonderful day! Hugs- Glora

3D Wednesday with My Creative Time

*If you are looking for the Simply Crafts Challenge scroll down or click HERE*


Welcome My Creative Time friends to another 3D Wednesday. Today I am going to feature one of Emma's newest Valentine sets called Classmate Valentines. I just love this set to pieces. It is going to be SO perfect for making Valentine's with my girls for their friends, cousins and classmates.

For my project today I have made a couple of heart favor boxes. The first one is a darling little bear.

These little containers are the perfect size for 2 or 3 little bags on M&M's or Skittles. The container comes from the Tags Bags and Boxes Cricut cartridge. I used my Gypsy to size these at 11.5" wide and I was able to fit two heart containers on a piece of 12 x 12 cardstock. I used the Classmate Valentine set along with Emma's darling Scallop and Stitched Circle Die set and then tied it off with a pretty piece of twine.

My second one is almost identical except that I used the darling little kitty and its coordinating sentiment:

I hope you enjoyed today's project. These would be super fast and easy to mass produce and make with your kids too. Make sure to drop by Emma's blog and see what she and the rest of the design team came up with too! I know there will be tons of beautiful inspiration! Have a wonderful day! Hugs- Glora

Make a Wish, Fairy Birthday Card

My daughter recently had a birthday and she made sure to tell me what kind of a birthday card she wanted. She wanted TinkerBell's fairy friend Fawn on it. This is a very fitting choice for my daughter because she LOVES animals and Fawn is an Animal Fairy. Anyway, I had two options for Fawn my TinkerBell Cricut cartridge or some EK Success Fairy Stamps that I have had for a couple of years. I just happened to be in the mood for coloring so the stamps won over the debate. And here is her card:

The beautiful orange background paper is made with a background stamp by Market Street Stamps called Punched Tin. I stamped it with watermark ink then embossed it with clear embossing powder! I always love the way the clear embossing turns out! The beautiful sentiment is from My Creative Time's Polka Dot Surprise stamp set! This was one of Emma's earlier sets and I just find myself using it over and over again. I LOVE it!

Here is a little bit of a close up of Fawn (I used some Crystal Stickles on her wings and colored her with Copic Markers):

I hope you are having a terrific day! Take care! Hugs- Glora
