Happy Anniversary Tag - 55 Years

Today's project is near and dear to my heart. It is for my parent's 55th wedding anniversary. I feel very blessed to celebrating this day with them. We almost lost my dad about a year and a half ago and I'm treasuring every moment we have with him.

My love of all things Disney came from many early childhood memories with my family. We are all kind of Disney nuts. Anyway, when Emma came out with her Stitched Pretty Flowers & Leaves last month I knew that the little flower circles would make a cute Mickey icon. What do you think? 


Emma's products made this tag SO easy and I think it turned out really cute too. Don't you love how that stitching around the circle makes a little Mickey head? This tag is going to be tied onto some new luggage that my parents need for their anniversary trip to Disneyland.

Here is the backside of the tag (the perfect spot to add a gift card for their trip too):


I LOVE this little pocket for gift cards. Isn't it perfect?! Here are the items I used for this tag (all of which are My Creative Time products): Tag Dies (tag), Vintage Stitched Label (banner), Stitched Pretty Flowers & Leaves (Mickey icon), Stitched Sweetheart & XOXO Dies (hearts), Tag Gift Pocket Die (gift card pocket), Fun gift Pocket Sentiments (a little something sentiment), Gift Card Sentiments (happy anniversary sentiment), and All Around Birthday Time (55th sentiment).

I hope you enjoyed my little tag! Have a wonderful day! Hugs- Glora

MCT April Sneak Peeks Day 4

Well we are on the final day of sneak peeks, can you believe it? Tomorrow you can buy these awesome stamps and dies for yourself! Yahoo! My Creative Time's releases are always amazing!

I have one simple project that uses both sets we are showcasing today. I must say I was THRILLED and a little bit giddy when I opened my package from Emma and saw the Springtime in Paris stamp and die set. I lived in France for a year and a half as a missionary for my church. I lived in the suburbs of Paris for about 7 months and visited Paris itself quite often. I have been looking for some stamps and dies to scrap some of my time there and also for sending cards to friends that live there. What Emma came up with is even better than what I had hoped to find. Anyway, I thought the two sets today would combine into the perfect Christmas gift tag for one of my French friends.


Joyeux Noel means Merry Christmas and Bonne Annee means Happy New Year. I love the font on these awesome French sentiments and that awesome, big '&' die is so much fun! It comes in the And Then Some stamp and die set. I used a tag from the Tag Dies, the kraft die cuts are from a die in the Just Simply Live set and that cute heart accent is from the Fun Variety on the Inside and Out stamp set.

***Sneak Peek giveaway!***

Happy Birthday Kitty Tag

Today is the last day of sneak peeks over at Peachy Keen Stamps. Tomorrow will be the big release party on the Peachy Keen Connection as well as the official release.


I made this cute little tag using 3 of the new sets. I used the Cat Background, the August 2013 SKOTM, and the I Didn't Do It stamp sets. I also used 2 My Creative Time Dies: the Tag Dies and the Vintage Stitched Label Dies. I used some orange sheer ribbon I had on hand along with some hemp twine from Liz's Paper Loft Boutique.

Don't forget to check out all of the AMAZING peeks over on the PKS blog. Hugs- Glora

PKS Sneak Peeks Day 3

Well we are already on day 3 of sneak peeks for Peachy Keen Stamps newest release. Aren't these babies and farm animals the CUTEST? I hope you have been enjoying the sneak peeks as much as I have.

For my projects today I made some bookmarks for my girls


All the stamps come from the May 2013 SKOTM. I just love these farm animals SO much! They have such cute accessories too! I colored them both with Copics. I added some ribbon and some hemp twine from Liz's Paper Loft Boutique.  The tags, hearts and banner's are all dies by My Creative Time and you can find them in her store HERE.

There is also this awesome circle with a heart in the SKOTM. It is actually meant to be a wheel for the wagon/stroller but I thought it would make a cute background for either a wedding or anniversary card. So here is my CAS card that took about 5 minutes to make and everything stamped on it is from the May 2013 SKOTM by Peachy Keen Stamps too.


Make sure to stop by the PKS blog to see what other awesome projects the other designer's have for you. Have a great evening! Hugs- Glora

Ice Cream = Happiness

I made this tag with a very special ice cream loving person in mind. I think she will enjoy it, especially if it accompanies a little bit of ice cream.

I love how easy My Creative Times dies can make a project. It took just a few runs through the die cutting machine, a little inking, stamping and ribbon and voila, a cute little project.


The ice cream dies and the sentiment all come from Emma's Celebrate Good Times stamp and die set. The tag is from her Tag Dies set. I used some pretty chevron ribbon by May Arts and tied it off with some hemp twine from Liz's Paper Loft Boutique. The adorable faces on the ice cream cones are from the brand new The Moodies Face Assortment by Peachy Keen Stamps. 

Make sure to stop by Emma's blog to see what she and some of the other designers came up with for today.

Don't forget about the pre-sneak party of Saturday...


and if you love those Peachy Keen Faces I used on this tag don't forget that they are 20% off through the 12th of April.

Peachy Keen Release Party Challenges

Well the new Peachy Keen Stamps are available for purchase and aren't they the cutest? Well the release party just got over and the challenges are up over at the Peachy Keen Connection. I wanted to share what I've made for one of the challenges. I hope you will be able to join in the fun too.

I made this cute bunny tag for Nikki's Background Challenge.


Isn't she such a sweet little bunny? Kathy sure knows how to WOW us each and every month. The bunny is from the Somebunny Special stamp set. I curled up her little ear because I had seen my DT sister Miss Cindy Beland do that and LOVED how it looked. Thanks for another awesome idea Cindy. The 'Hoppy Easter' sentiment is from the Baby Easter Bunny stamp set and that fun background is another awesome background stamp. It is called Copper Ceiling Tile and it is a 4.25 x 4.25 square background stamp. It is SO pretty. The cute tag is a die from My Creative Time called Tag Dies. I also used some ribbon from my stash and some hemp twine from Liz's Paper Loft Boutique.

Well, I hope you will join in on the fun over at the Peachy Keen Connection. 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

Happy Christmas Tag

I realized that I never posted my fun snowman tag that I made a few weeks ago so I thought I would share it now.


For this cutie I used the Happy Snowman with Label by Peachy Keen Stamps. For the snowflakes on the tag I used some stamps from the Snow Gifts stamp set. The tag itself is by My Creative Time and is called Tag Dies. I hope you enjoy this and have a wonderful day! Hugs- Glora

MCT November Stamp Release Sneak Peek

Hello and welcome to the first day of sneak peeks from My Creative Time's November stamp and die release. Today we are showcasing two awesome font stamp sets, Circle Font and Label Font.

For my tag I used Label Font. I don't have any sweet 16 stamps so this was the perfect set to make my own sentiment with.


The tag is from Emma's Tag Dies and as I mentioned the "Sweet 16" was made using the new Label Font. I cut the cupcake from the Sweet Treats Cricut cartridge. I used some polka dot ribbon from American's Crafts and topped it off with a wooden button and some pretty hemp twine from Liz's Paper Loft Boutique.

Show Me Your Technique at My Creative Time

Hello and welcome to another Show Me Your Technique mini blog hop with some of the My Creative Time designers. Today I'm your first stop on the mini hop.

I have a couple of simple embossing techniques that I want to share with you.

The first one involves CLEAR embossing powder. I absolutely love this stuff and use it quite often. Well today, I'm using it in a little nontraditional way and I love how it turned out. This was not my original idea I found it while doing a Google search for tips and techniques. I can't remember where exactly it came from but I love this idea, someone is a genius...


Can you guess where I'm going with this? Yes, embossing your baby or child's hand or foot prints. Have you ever tried getting your baby's prints with regular ink (I HAVE), wow what a mess. I LOVED how simple this was.

So I inked up my baby's hand with beautiful, clear colored, watermark ink and carefully pressed his hand down onto the blue colored card stock. Then I quickly cleaned off his hand with no real mess, YAY.

Next sprinkle with embossing powder (I chose clear). And tap off the excess.


Next get out your heat gun and melt the clear embossing powder and VOILA!


This is probably the best hand print I've got of any of my kiddos. I'm definitely going to be using this A LOT and I hope it was a helpful technique for some of you too.

I also wanted to quickly show you one of my favorite dry embossing techniques:


I love to ink up dry embossing with a little bit of white chalk ink. After I've done my dry embossing I just take the cover off of the white chalk ink pad and softly rub it across the tag in all directions. I think it really makes the dry embossing pop. This is my favorite ink pad to use for this.


So here is my finished tag. I think I will probably add it to a scrapbook page for my baby later on but for now I'm just going to enjoy that perfect little hand print. 
The tag is from Emma's Tag Dies and the pretty blue hemp twine is from Liz's Paper Loft Boutique.

Thanks for stopping by your next stop is Jeanne.

And here is the full line up for today:

My Creative Time August Release Blog Hop

Yay, the day is finally here and you can purchase all of your favorite stamps and dies from the My Creative Time August release. If you came here from Cindy B's awesome blog then you are in the right place if not make sure that you start back at Emma's blog so that you don't miss out on anything.

Today I have a couple of projects to share with you.

First of all we are planning a winter trip to Disneyland. I thought it would be fun to give my children some souvenir cash inside a cute little pocket card. I used the ornament die from the Warm Holiday Fun stamp set, the straight black line is also from that set. To make my ornament a Mickey ornament I cut 2 little circles from the circle die in Emma's Build a Banner Kit. The card was made using the  3x3 Tri-Fold Card die that is included with the Card Sentiments set. And last of all the sentiment came from the It's a Magical Season stamp set.


Here is what it looks like opened up. I just glued the sides down to make a little pocket for the souvenir money.


I also made a scrapbook layout that could be used for the upcoming trip.This is an 8 1/2 x 11 sized layout. I just love how it turned out and wish that this picture did it full justice.


Here is a close up of the tag.


This tag is one of Emma's Tag Dies and the sentiment comes from the It's a Magical Season stamp set. I stamped the sentiment in watermark ink and heat embossed it with red tinsel embossing powder. This stuff is SUPER sparkly in person. I love how it looks. I tied it off with some pretty red and white twine.

Here is a closer look at the Polaroid dies that go down the left side.


I did the same thing to make these Mickey ornaments as I did on the cash card above. I cut the pieces out using some pretty Core Couture Glitter cardstock by Core'dinations. It is also super sparkly in person. The middle picture of Mickey and Minnie with Santa actually came from some sheets of stationary I bought at Disneyland a few years back. The 'believe' sentiment came from the From Our Family to Yours stamp set. The fancy edged Polaroid die comes in the new Just Simply Live stamp set.

And last of all here is a closeup of one of the ornaments in the Polaroid die.


This is the set that inspired my blog hop projects today. It is called It's a Magical Season.

My Creative Time Gift Tag

Hello My Creative Time fans today I am guest designing for the super sweet and talented Miss Emma. I'm so glad that she has been able to have this time to be with her family while Baby Aaron has been recovering.

Today I have a tag to share with you. A friend of mine recently had surgery and I wanted to drop her off a loaf of banana bread with this tag attached to it.


I LOVE how well My Creative Time products work together. It made this tag a piece of cake to make and I think it will really brighten my friend's day. I used the Tag Dies for the tag, the flower image is from the Bloom Where You are Planted stamp set, and the sentiment is from Pain Pain Go Away.

I started with white cardstock and I colored the image with Copic Markers then I inked up the background with Tim Holtz Distress Ink. To finish it off I used some orange twill ribbon and just a bit of bakers twine.

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you will continue to keep Emma and her family in your thoughts and prayers! Hugs- Glora

Items Used:

My Creative Time Stamps - Bloom Where You are Planted
My Creative Time stamps - Pain Pain Go Away
My Creative Time Dies - Tag Dies
Copic Markers

Wobble Wednesday - SUMMER

Hi, I hope you are all having a great day. It is time for another Wobble Wednesday Challenge and it is my turn to choose the theme. I went with SUMMER. School is almost out and the sun has been shining nice and bright so I thought this would be a perfect theme.

If you would like to learn more about the challenge and join in the fun click HERE.

For my project I made a fun and simple tag.


The beautiful tag is a new die by My Creative Time called Tag Dies. The sentiments are both by My Creative Time. They are called Have Fun in the Sun and This and That! The sweet little sunshine stamp is by Peachy Keen Stamps (You Are My Sunshine), you can also purchase some Action Wobbles there and at the Queen's Royal Shoppe. And the lovely seam binding ribbon and hemp are from Liz's Paper Loft Boutique.

Have FUN in the SUN everyone! Hugs- Glora

MCT May Release Day #4

Hi and welcome to day four of projects from Emma's newest stamp and die release over at My Creative Time. ALL of these stamps and dies are already available for order.

Today we are all using Celebrate Good Times. This is the ultimate adorable birthday stamp and die set. I LOVE it SO much. I know I will be using it over and over again!


I thought this set worked perfectly for my nephew's birthday card. I stamped each word of Make a Wish separately to make little sentiment banners down the side. I love how it turned out and will probably be trying that again. I cut out one of the awesome Tag Dies from this release and then embossed the tag with the Mickey Celebrates Cuttlebug embossing folder. I used to white chalk ink to make the embossing pop. I added a Mickey Icon eyelet that I got from Disneyland to the top of the tag and some faux stitching around the edges and I was done. This actually turned out to be a super quick and simple card, but my "masculine/boy" cards tend to be a little more simple.

This wouldn't be a party without GIVEAWAYS!

MCT May Release Day #3

Hi and welcome to day three of projects from Emma's newest - special birthday - release over at My Creative Time. ALL of these stamps and dies are already available for order.

Today we are all using Fun Pockets. This is just a fun all around stamp set. It has sentiments from birthday to everyday. Plus there is a cute girly pocket die and a regular pocket die.


I used some pretty Echo Parks paper along with Emma's Fun Pockets stamp set and her Tag Dies. The awesome ribbon and hemp can all be found at Liz's brand new Boutique. Isn't it pretty. I love how well these colors went with this paper pad. And last but not least is the cute little PKS You Are My Sunshine. I used this sunshine instead of the one that comes with the Fun Pockets stamp set because I wanted to be able to remove the sunshine from the pocket (picture below).


This wouldn't be a party without GIVEAWAYS!
