Guest Designing for Emma

Hello friend, today I'm guest designing for the incredible Miss Emma of My Creative Time while she is busy taking care of her beautiful family.

Today I have a baby announcement to share. This card has a simple, clean style because I'm making a little more than 30 of these to mail out to family members to announce the recent arrival of our little boy.

For this card I used the following items: My Creative Time's Stitched Oval Die, and My Creative Time's All Star Baby Stamp set. I also used: the Baby Steps Cricut cartridge, the Welcome Baby Cuttlebug Embossing Folder and Boy Mate Faces by Peachy Keen Stamps.

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you all have a wonderful day. Please make sure to continue to keep Emma and her beautiful family in your thoughts and prayers! Hugs- Glora

MCT June Release Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the My Creative Time June Release Blog Hop. You should have arrived here from Cindy's Blog. If not, make sure to get the whole hop in by starting at Emma's blog.

I am just LOVING these new sets and I thought that this airplane would be so cute with a welcome baby banner coming from it. This sentiment from the All Star Baby stamp set fit perfectly.

This is a clean and simple card, but I love how it turned out. I used the airplane die cut from the Fly Away with Me Die set and then I stamped and inked up the airplane image from the Fly Away with Me stamp set. The banner die comes with the Fly Away with Me Sentiments stamp set and I used some hemp from Liz's Paper Loft Boutique to tie it to the airplane. The 'welcome sweet baby' sentiment comes from Emma's previously released All Star Baby stamp set. The cloud background is made using the Cloudy Day background stamp by Peachy Keen Stamps. The light blue was done using Broken China Distress Ink by Tim Holtz.The white background was made by embossing it with the Swiss Dot CuttleBug embossing folder and adding a couple of score lines using my Martha Stewart Score Board.

Simply Crafts Challenge for June

Hi and welcome to another Simply Crafts Challenge. Today Pam picked the cut and she chose the rounded star cut from off of the Baby Steps Cricut cartridge. I love this cartridge and I also have a new nephew that could be born any day so I figured I would use this cut and make a baby card for him. If you are interested in joining this challenge go to the Simply Crafts Challenge Blog, HERE, for more details.

Isn't that little bear hugging the star so cute? I seriously can not get enough of this darling baby cartridge. My card is 5.5" x 5.5" with the blue layer cut at 5.25"x 5.25". I cut out the star and bear cut from the Baby Steps cartridge at 5". I stamped his darling face with the Critter Faces (Large) stamps by Peachy Keen Stamps. And that perfect sentiment comes from My Creative Time's All Star Baby stamp set. I inked all the edges and added some faux stitching as well. The pretty blue hemp in the background is from Liz's Paper Loft Boutique.

Make sure to stop by Pam's blog and see more details on her card HERE, and if you would like to join in on the challenge go to the Simply Crafts Challenge Blog, HERE.

The prize that will be randomly given for participating in the challenge is this awesome background stamp pictured below. It is called Cloudy Day and is a full A2 sized background stamp by Peachy Keen Stamps.

Sneak Peek #4 - My Creative Time September Release

Welcome to day 4 of sneak peeks over at My Creative Time. Can I say that this new release has been SO much fun to work with. Today we are working with an AMAZING die and stamp set called Build a Banner Kit. It is FABULOUS!!!! I am seriously SO in love with this set!

Do you see those beautiful polka dots and stripes on the main banner pieces? Those come with the stamp and die kit and are just the right size to stamp and then cut your pieces (they are 2x2 in size). In fact I also stamped the baby's outfit and blanket with the houndstooth background that comes in this kit! The kit includes 4 dies and 4 (2x2) pattern stamps. The letters in the middle of the banner do not come with this kit, but the alphabet that comes with the Anyday Bingo and Crossword set fit perfectly inside! I also used Emma's Scallop and Stitched Circle Dies along with the All Star Baby stamp set.

The darling baby is from the Baby Steps Cricut cartridge and to make it even cuter I stamped its face with the Just Baby Faces by Peachy Keen Stamps.

Simply Crafts with Glora and Pam #5

Hello and welcome to a new month and another Simply Crafts with Glora and Pam. This is the first Wednesday of the month and so it is time for another cut challenge for Pam and me. This month Pam chose the cut. She chose the cute little baby rattle on the Sugar and Spice Cricut Lite cartridge. It is always a good idea to have some baby cards on hand. I discovered that I had a lot of spare baby girl cards so I wanted to make a baby boy card.

The cute sentiment is from Emma's (My Creative Time's) All Star Baby set. This set has SO many super cute baby sentiments on it. I LOVE it. I'm so excited to see what Pam has come up with for this cut. I hope you will drop by and see what she has created. She is SO talented! Click HERE to go to Pam's blog.

Items Used:

*Sugar and Spice Cricut Lite cartridge
*B is for Boy Cricut Lite cartridge
*Gypsy
