Treat Bags For My Turkeys!

Hello friends. Today I get to host the new Designer Challenge over at My Creative Time. The challenge is to make any kind of project so long as it has a THANKSGIVING THEME and uses some My Creative Time products.

I had a blast with this challenge. My mind was going crazy thinking of all sorts of fun possibilities on how to use Emma's current dies to make a turkey. I love the little turkey gift bags and I hope you do too.


Everything on the topper of this treat bag was made using Emma's products other than the little Critter Faces (size small)  by Peachy Keen Stamps. Just in case you ever want to make these I'm going to list what I used. First let's start with the products that are the same for both turkey treat toppers. The green piece is My Creative Time's Stitched Doily Die. The brown turkey base is the bunny die from the To My Best Peep stamp and die set (I just cut off the bunny ears). The sentiment on both of them is from the new Teeny Tag Holidays stamp set.


On my girl turkey I used both layers of the Scalloped Stitched Rosette Dies for her tail feathers. I have seen some of the other My Creative Time designers use rosettes for tail feathers on turkeys and thought it looked really cute. To make her little hair bow I used the tiny little hearts you get when you cut the olive pick on the Cocktail Party Stitched Dies


The tail feathers on the boy turkey are the bunny ears from the To My Best Peep bunny die. I used the present die from the new All Around Holidays set for the hat. I just trimmed off the bow and cut another hat in red and trimmed it down so I could layer it on top.

I hope these give you some fun ideas. I know that my design team sisters have made some AMAZING projects for this challenge to help inspire you. I hope you will join in the fun challenge too. I can't wait to see what you make! Hugs- Glora

Happy Easter Treat Basket

It is time for another 3D Wednesday at My Creative Time.

For my project I got my inspiration from a recent trip to Archiver's. They had these paper baskets that I've made before, but there's had something different. They had a peeking bunny over one of the edges. They had used some paper punches and hand drawn a face on theirs too. I couldn't get over the cute idea and knew that I had to make one but with Emma's dies and with a Peachy Keen Face Stamp.


To make my bunny I used Emma's Stitched Circle Die and the Stitched Oval Die. Easy peasy but cute too. I used the Cute and Cuddly 1 1/8" faces by Peachy Keen Stamps for the face. The sentiment is from Emma's To My Best Peep stamp set and the little piece I stamped on is a die from the Chunky Jar Accessories set.


If you haven't made one of these baskets before it is SUPER simple. My friend Pam made a video tutorial on how to make these a while back. Click HERE if you are interested in seeing her video. Most people make these with a 12x12 piece of paper (which requires a LOT of candy to fill it). I was going for something a little smaller and used a 6x6 piece of paper.


If you are interested in making these in different sizes I will give you some measurements below that might help you out:

*The original 12x12 size is scored at 4" and 8" (when completed the base and each side panel is 4"x4")

*For a 9"x9" piece of paper score at 3" and 6" (when completed the base and each side panel is 3"x3")

*For a 7.5"x7.5" piece of paper score at 2.5" and 5" (when completed the base each side panel is 2.5"x 2.5")

*For a 6"x6" piece of paper score at 2" and 4" (when completed the base and each side panel is 2"x2"). THIS is the size that I used for this project!

And if you want to make a really tiny one...
take a 3"x3" piece of paper and score at 1" and 2" (when completed the base and each side panel is 1"x 1")

Make sure to stop by Emma's blog and check out the other 3D projects!

Have a terrific day! Hugs- Glora

A Basket Full of Love

Hello, it is time for 3D Wednesday at My Creative Time.

I decided to dress up a cute little basket I've had on hand for a while. My 4 year old is in love with this blingy treat basket.


I used several dies on this basket. I used the stitched cloud dies from the Fly Away With Me Dies, the kraft colored piece is from the Just Simply Live Stamp and Die set, and the darling stitched bunny die and the sentiment are from the To My Best Peep stamp set. I love how My Creative Time products mix and match so well. I did stamp a PKS face on my bunny too. This one is from the Critter Faces Small set.

Make sure to stop by Emma's blog and see what everyone has been up to. Hugs- Glora

Scrapping the Little Things

Hello crafting friends. Today we are sharing some layouts over at My Creative Time.

Here is my layout from Easter many YEARS ago...


Yes, those are Disney VHS tapes in my hands - LOL. 

Here is a close up of the pretty My Creative Time products that I used on the layout.


I used the following My Creative Time products: Fun Ticket Dies, Stitched Doily Die, and To My Best Peep. The cute face on the bunny is by Peachy Keen Stamps called Cute and Cuddly Faces. The hemp on the bunny is from Liz's Paper Loft Boutique.

Make sure to check out Emma's blog to see what everyone came up with today. Hugs- Glora

MCT February Release Blog Hop

Welcome to the My Creative Time February Release Blog Hop. If you came here from Courtney's blog then you are in the right spot, if not make sure you start at Emma's blog so you can get the whole hop in.

Today I am showing you the awesome Treat Slider Die!

This really makes for a cute little treat box. I wanted to make little windows for each of these boxes so you could see the treat that is inside them. For this first one I cut a heart shaped window out with the Stitched Heart Layering Dies and covered it with some vellum. I added the Teeny Tag and a sentiment from You Had Me at Chocolate. It is filled with Sweethearts. It is tied off with some hemp from Liz's Paper Loft Boutique.

Next I made a St Patrick's Day one. For it I used the new shamrock die that comes in the You're My Pot of Gold set. The sentiments all come from an oldy but goody I Believe in Leprechauns. I filled it with chocolate gold foil coins (an idea borrowed from my fellow DT members) and I tied this one off with some more hemp from Liz's Paper Loft Boutique.



And last but not least is an Easter one. For this one the sentiments and die I used to make my window come from the To My Best Peep stamp and die set. It is filled with jelly beans and tied off with some twine from The Twinery.
