Guest Designing over at Liz's Paper Loft

Hi friends, today I'm SO happy to be guest designing for Liz at Liz's Paper Loft. I have admired Liz's work for A LONG time and I have also been lucky enough to work with her on the My Creative Time Design Team! She is SO sweet and super talented. I'm certain she can hardly wait to start posting on her own blog again and I can't wait to see what creative projects she has dreamed up while recovering.

Today I wanted to share a card that I made for my daughter's dance teacher. They have just finished their dance year and dance recital and I wanted to make sure to tell her thank you.

I hope you like it, I was going for a classic ballet kind of look with just black, white and pink. The frame shape and the ballet slippers are from the Shall We Dance Cricut cartridge. The beautiful flowers were made using My Creative Time's Flower Petal dies. I also used the My Creative Time Stitched Oval die and stamped a sentiment from the Teeny Tag Greetings stamp set. I added some sweet little pink buttons and some faux stitching with my gel pen. That pretty background paper is by Doodlebug Design and is called Petite Prints.

 Have a wonderful day! Hugs- Glora

Liz has some exciting news to share with you, but not quite yet. However, in the meantime, while she's recovering, she is reading every comment! Not only is she reading them, she's counting them, because at the end of all this, she will have two announcements! The first will be a winner of some exciting BLOG CANDY! The second, it's a big one...and no, she's not coming out with stamps...you just have to wait and see!


 Have a wonderful day! Hugs- Glora

3D and Wobble Wednesday AND A WINNER!

Hello crafty friends. Today I have combined two projects into one. It is 3D Wednesday over at My Creative Time and it is also Wobble Wednesday on the Wobble Wednesday Blog. Since Teacher Appreciation Day/Week is coming up soon I thought I would try to make a project for that.

This is just a little container that we will put some yummy treats in, it is from the Spring Holiday Cards Cricut cartridge.

My little cheerleader is from the Recess Cricut Lite cartridge. She is also on an Action Wobble which you can buy at Peachy Keen Stamps or at the Scrapbooking Queen's Royal Shoppe. Her darling face is from the Wide Eyed Kids Face assortment. The sentiment is from the My Teacher Rocks! stamp set by My Creative Time.

Make sure to stop by Emma's blog to see all the awesome 3D projects that she and the design team have made. And if you have some Action Wobbles and want to add one to a "school/teacher appreciation" themed project then come and join the Wobble Challenge. Have a terrific day! Hugs- Glora

Oh yes and the winner of the Echo Parks 6x6 paper pad from the My Creative Time Blog hop is...

Peachy Keen Stamps Challenge #14 - Color Inspiration

*** If you are looking for the My Creative Time April Release Blog Hop scroll down or click HERE ***

Hello Peachy Keen fans and welcome to another Color Inspiration Challenge. Isn't this a fun and bright color combination? The brightly colored balloons are what started me off on my take on this challenge.

I always need birthday cards and I wanted another excuse to use the new Here Kitty Kitty face stamps so this is what I came up with.

I used the April SKOTM for the sentiment. I did LOTS of inking on EVERYTHING and added lots of little faux stitching. I accented the hat with a little pearl and the balloons with some twine strings.

I hope you are having a terrific day and I hope you will be able to come and play in the Color Inspiration Challenge with us. Make sure to check out the PKS Challenge blog so you can see what everyone came up with. These ladies are AMAZING! Hugs- Glora

MCT April Release Blog Hop

Hello there My Creative Time friends and welcome to the April stamp and die release. If you came here from Cindy's blog you are in the right place, if not make sure that you start back at Emma's blog so you can get the whole blog hop in.

For my project today I made gift wrap for a present. I used 3 items from Emma's newest release. The background flowers that I stamped my wrapping paper with is from the Bloom Where You are Planted stamp set. The beautiful 'Happy Birthday' sentiment comes for the Floral Sentiments stamp set (I just stamped Happy and Birthday separately so they would fit on my tag). I also used both of the Rolled Flower Dies to make my flower. 

I have picked up a lot of fun new tips and ideas for these flowers this week from Emma and the rest of the team. For this flower I used 2 of each die cut to make my flower. I did a very loose flower (almost flat), one slightly tighter (but still fairly flat), one almost normal and one super tight and layered them all inside each other. It turns out to be a pretty good sized flower (about 2 1/2" instead of the 1 1/4" ones that I made yesterday). I think it makes the perfect little accent for a present.

Here you can see the dimension just a little bit better.

Here is what I used from the new release:

MCT April Release Sneak Peek Day 3

Hi, My Creative Time friends and welcome to day 3 of Emma's new release. Today we are featuring an awesome set of sentiments and a beautiful set of dies to make rolled flowers out of. These flowers are BEAUTIFUL and I really LOVE these sentiments too!

I made a little gift bag and added a sentiment from the new Floral Sentiments set. These sentiments have a really pretty font and a they are a great size too. I also made one of each type of flower from the Flower Dies.

I used some silver leaves that came with some sequin flowers I bought a long time ago and I added some Stickles to the edges of the flowers. They are just too pretty and sparkly in person. I think these dies will be getting A LOT of use around here!

MCT April Release Sneak Peek Day 2

Hello My Creative Time friends and welcome to day 2 of Emma's new release. I am having TOO much fun using this new release. Today we are featuring an awesome large stamp set with beautiful floral images and sentiments. I got a little carried away and made a few different cards to have on hand. This set is called Bloom Where You are Planted.

This sweet bunch of sunflowers just made me smile when I saw them. I could NOT resist coloring them up! I think it will make a sweet thank you card to have on hand.

This one was made using both of the pretty rose images and a perfectly coordinated sentiment.

And here is the last one that I made.

This little flower reminded me of one of the flowers on Alice in Wonderland. I just had to add a sweet little Peachy Keen Face to it (Simple Sallies - the smallest size in the assortment pack). I love how the flower petals look like her hair and the leaves look like her little hands.
