Valentine's

I wanted to drop by and quickly share a couple of Valentine's that I had made for the challenges over on the Peachy Keen Connection last week.

1st my Elephant Valentine:

This cute elephant is from the Peachy Keen/ CottageCutz stamp and die set called Happy Go Lucky Elephant. The sweet little heart is from Emma's 100% Sweetness stamp set and the sentiment is from the My Creative Time Lots of Love Stamp set.

and here is my 2nd Valentine:

This is my little LOVE skunk. She is also a Peachy Keen Stamps/ CottageCutz stamp and die set called Stinky Skunk. The LOVE sentiment comes from My Creative Time's Lots of Love stamp set and the sweet little hearts are MCT's Stitched Heart Layering Dies.

Have a SUPER day! Hugs- Glora

Be Mine Easy Treat Container

Well hello, it is time for another 3D Wednesday over at My Creative Time. Today we are all making boxes or containers to share. I made a little treat container using some of Emma's existing dies. It was super easy and I think it turned out pretty cute too.

I got this basic idea from a treat that my Mother in law gave to my kids last year. I made a Saint Patrick's Day version of the treat container using my Gypsy last year. You can see that one by clicking HERE. Well when this assignment came up I started brainstorming and remembered that cute treat from last year and thought that Emma's 3x3 Fancy Tri-fold Card Die would work perfectly for this. It absolutely did.

 All I had to do was figure out the perfect places to score it at and the rest is a piece of cake. If you cut out the 3x3 Fancy Tri-fold Card Die all you have to do is place it on a score board straight edge in the corner and score it at 2.75", 3.5" and 6.25".

I wanted a transparent little window so I used the heart die from the 100% Sweetness stamp set to create my window. I filled a 3" wide clear bag with M&Ms and stapled the bag to the top.

 

Finishing this off was a breeze using the Teeny Tags Layer Dies and a sentiment from the Teeny Tag Greetings Stamp set along with a little bit of hemp twine from Liz's Paper Loft Boutique.

I hope you enjoyed this simple and fun little project. Make sure you stop by Emma's Blog to see what fun boxes and containers everyone else came up with. Hugs- Glora

My Creative Time Beary Special Blog Hop

***If you are looking for my Peachy Keen Blog Post scroll down to the next post.***

Even though its not quite Halloween, Emma has decided to give you all a "Beary Special Treat"! This doesn't cause weight gain but will cause CUTENESS OVERLOAD! Included in this hop, you will see a "Beary Special" stamp set that was designed by Emma for this special hop!  Also, joining us for this hop are 5 VERY TALENTED "Guest Designers"!  

Well you really are in for a treat especially if you love teddy bears as much as I do. You should have arrived here from Debbie's blog but if not make sure that you start back at the My Creative Time blog so that you don't miss a single stop.

I made a couple of projects because I LOVE this set SO much. First up a card:

This adorable little koala bear is from the new Create a Critter 2 Cricut cartridge. The heart background shapes are also from that cartridge I just made it into a shape card using my Gypsy. The ADORABLE little face on the koala is from the Critter Faces - Medium stamp set by Peachy Keen Stamps. And of course that AWESOME sentiment is from the brand new Beary Special Thoughts stamp set by My Creative Time.

My Second Project is a layout.

The brown section is a 5.25 x 7.25 mat for a 5x7 photo. The pretty picot trim across the top of it is from Liz's Paper Loft Boutique.

Here is a close up of the top part of the layout.

These little bears and the stitched hearts are from the new Beary Special Thoughts stamp set. The sentiment is also from the set. It comes straight and I just curved it on my stamping block so that it would follow the curve of the paper. The twine is from Trendy Twine.

And last of all here is a close up of the larger bear at the bottom of the layout.

This little cutie was made using an old Coluzzle set that I have. That pretty pink polka dot paper in the background is actually flocked and oh so pretty and soft. It is by Doodlebug Design the smaller polka dot paper is also by Doodlebug Design. The brown paper is Core'dinations. The cute little face is from the Cute and Cuddly Face Assortment by Peachy Keen Stamps. The heart is a My Creative Time Die that comes with the 100% Sweetness stamp set. And the sentiment once again comes from the Beary Special Thoughts stamp set by Emma.

Grandparents Day Card

***If you are looking for Angelica's Farewell Blog Hop click HERE or scroll down***

Hi, did you know that yesterday was Grandparents Day? It is not a very well known holiday, but my children have incredible grandparents and we wanted to let them know that we love and appreciate them. Today I want to share the Grandparents Day card that my kiddos helped me create. We made two card and they are ALMOST identical so I'm just going to post the one.

This is a larger card. It is an 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 inch card. I just love their sweet handprints on the card and they had fun with it, well everyone except for the baby, he didn't like it too much. The color combination is a little unique but I had already stamped my baby's handprint and the girls chose out the colors they wanted so I just went with it. The hemp twine is from Liz's PaperLoft Boutique. And the sentiments all come from My Creative Time stamp sets. The 'XOXO' is from 100% Sweetness, the 'made with love...' is from You Had Me At Chocolate and the 'Happy Grandparents Day' is from the More Gift Card Sentiments.

I hope you have a FABULOUS Day. I was SUPER lucky and found a Create a Critter 2 Cricut cartridge on SALE at JoAnn's on Friday. I'm dying to try it out. So hopefully tomorrow I will have a card to share with you using it. Hugs- Glora

Also, don't forget that it is Scrappy Monday at My Creative Time.

Items Used:

My Creative Time stamps - 100% Sweetness
My Creative Time stamps - You Had Me At Chocolate
My Creative Time stamps - More Gift Card Sentiments

We Go Together Like Ketchup and Mustard

My husband & I are celebrating our wedding anniversary today so I thought I would show you the card I made him...

For the heart I used the die from 100% Sweetness by My Creative Time and the Happy Anniversary sentiment inside the heart is from the Many Greetings stamp set by My Creative Time. The ketchup, mustard, faces, splatters of ketchup and mustard and coordinating sentiment are from the We Go Together and Let's Ketchup stamp sets by Peachy Keen Stamps.

MCT January Release Blog Hop

Hello My Creative Time friends. Today is the big day where you can grab all of these beautiful stamps and dies that we have been showing you this week. If you came here from the talented Cindy's blog than you are in the right spot. If not, make sure to start back at Emma's blog so you don't miss a single thing!

For the blog hop Emma asked me to feature her brand new Script Type Background. This set includes 2 beautiful 3x3 backgrounds. They are so pretty and full of inspirational words. The first one is more of a script style and the second is more of vintage typewriter style. Both a very fun and pretty. I have made a couple of quick projects with this set. The first is a card.

The background on the squares and on the hearts are from this set. I just alternated them back and forth. The heart die and the big sentiments are all from the already released 100% Sweetness set.

I also made a cute little box using the Script Type Background for the patterned paper (since the stamp is 3x3 and I needed a 6x6 piece of paper for the die, I just stamped it 4 times). I used the beautiful new Bubblegum Treat Box Die for the box and the AWESOME Be Mine bonus stamp set for the grungy heart and sentiment.

These would definitely make for some cute and easy Valentine favors.

Here are pictures of the newly released stamps that I featured today.
