Happy 1st Day of School!

Well, after more than a month I'm finally back with a crafting post. You probably didn't even miss me but that's okay too. I have been enjoying my summer with my children. They will be back in school in a couple of weeks. I can't believe how fast the summer is flying by. Today I made some cards for my girl's teachers for the first day of school.

This first one follows the color/photo inspiration challenge at My Creative Time.

The frog cut file is from Lettering Delights. The paper is American Crafts. The cute little face comes from the PKSC-06 June 2012 Stamp Kit of the Month. I used the Bunch of Fun Circle Dies, Fun Stitched Edges and Gift Card Sentiments all by My Creative Time.

My 2nd card is very similar but I followed the current Peachy Keen Stamps sketch for this card.

The products used for this are the same as the ones listed above.

I hope you are all having a terrific summer too. Have a great day! Hugs- Glora

MCT 5 Days of Christmas Day 4

Welcome to the 4th day of My Creative Time's 5 Days of Christmas.

Aren't you just LOVING all of these awesome Christmas ideas?

I have another simple one for you today. I made a gift card holder.

The gift card holder is of course Emma's awesome Embossed Gift Card Holder. I stamped a sentiment from the Gift Card Sentiments stamp set and then I used some cute patterned paper and Emma's new Fun Stitched Edges. I love how that edge adds SO much to this gift card holder. The best part is that it was an absolute breeze. I love when my products do all the work for me :).

Don't forget to check out what the other designers have for you today on the My Creative Time Blog. Hugs- Glora

December 25th Christmas Memories Layout

Today is Scrappin' the Little Things at My Creative Time. I have tons of Christmas photos that need to be scrapped so I turned on some Christmas music and scrapped away. I got the basic inspiration for the design of my page from one of the pages in my DCWV Christmas paper pad.

I used lots of My Creative Time products and some pretty paper from DCWV. I used the following My Creative Time Dies: Stitched 3x4 Journal Die, Stitched 4x6 Journal Die and Stitched XL Label Die. I used the following My Creative Time stamp sets: My Journaling (for the journal lines), Cherish This Moment (for Good Memories), Gift Card Sentiments (for Merry Christmas), Treasured Moments (for Life's most precious moments...), and Whimsical Calendar Days.

I hope you enjoyed my layout. Make sure to stop by My Creative Time to see all the other scrappy inspiration. Hugs- Glora

Congratulations - Missionary Card

Happy Sunday. I just wanted to share a 'religious' type card with you really quick. My nephew is going to be a missionary for our church (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints). He will be going to the state of Washington. I wanted to make him a card to congratulate him.

This card was VERY easy. I used the Inspired Heart Cricut cartridge and some My Creative Time stamps and dies. The die is from the Vintage Stitched Label Dies and the sentiment is from the Gift Card Sentiments.

Anyway, a simple and easy shape card that did that was exactly what I was looking for. Have a wonderful and peaceful Sunday. Hugs- Glora

Merry Christmas Eve

Yes, Merry Christmas Eve! I can not believe it! Christmas is here already! I wanted to share a couple of Christmas gift card holders that I made. These are also what I made for the designers' choice sketch challenge over at Peachy Keen Stamps Challenge Blog.

This was made using Emma's Embossed Gift Card Holder Die and Gift Card Sentiments. I also used the Penguin Girl stamp by Peachy Keen Stamps (I'm giving it to a boy so I didn't use one of the girl faces included I just used one of the boy faces I had from the Winter Wonderland Face Assortment). I also used the coordinating Peachy Keen Kut Out Die called Winter Character with Stocking Hat. I colored the image with Copic markers and I added some glossy accents and white gel pen accents.

For this gift card I used the CottageCutz  Gingerbread Dolls. Aren't they cute? I also used Emma's Embossed Gift Card Holder Die and the coordinating sentiments again.

I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas!

Hugs- Glora

Simple Gingerbread Christmas Card

A couple of weeks ago I helped some ladies at my church put this cute little Christmas card together. I cut pieces for about 60 of these. They are simple cards but it still took a bit of time. Everyone seemed to like them so it all worked out.

I used the ginger on the Just Because Cards Cricut cartridge. The darling face is called Happy Lashes by Peachy Keen Stamps and I used the My Creative Time Stitched Oval Die and sentiment from the Gift Card Sentiment stamp set for the Merry Christmas.

I hope you are having a terrific day! Take care! Hugs- Glora

Sneak Peek #2 - My Creative Time - September Release

Hi sweet My Creative Time friends. Welcome to Day 2 of My Creative Time Sneak Peek week. Today we are all showing you a super fun set called Anyday Bingo and Crossword. Talk about a versatile set. There are loads of cute little images, along with a bingo board, crossword blocks, and a FULL ALPHABET. I love it and I seriously can't wait to see what Emma and the rest of the Design Team did with this stamp set. Here is a card I made using the bingo board, the little bunny stamp in the middle, and the beautiful alphabet (to spell out BUNNY):

For the 'bunny hugs' and 'bunny kisses' sentiments I used Emma's Color Me Happy Stamp set (from her very first release). I used a Cute and Cuddly face by Peachy Keen Stamp for the bunny. I was trying to make it look like the bunny was peeking over the edge of the bingo card. I hope it worked. The bunny is from the Easter 2010 cartridge. The image on the cartridge is only the head. I used the head piece and then the little muzzle looked like a paw shape to me, so I used my Gypsy to hide some of the features and used two of the muzzle pieces for the paws. Here is a quick diagram:

I also wanted to show you really quickly a gift card holder that we gave to my parents for Grandparents Day last Sunday. The words Grandma and Grandpa were made using the beautiful font on this new Anyday Bingo and Crossword stamp set (thanks Emma for giving me this idea). I used Emma's Gift Card Holder Die and the top sentiment is from the Gift Card Sentiments (both from August's stamp and die release).

Peachy Keen Stamps Guest Designer - Day 4

Hi and welcome to day 4 of my time over at Peachy Keen Stamps! I'm just LOVING every minute of it! I hope you are too! For today's back to school project I made an altered frame to display my daughter's 1st day of school picture.

I had so much fun with this project! The darling Peachy Faces I used today are: Critter Faces for the boy and Princess Faces for the girl. I used these faces on cuts from the Playtime Cricut cartridge. I must admit that this cartridge wouldn't have even appealed to me if it weren't for Peachy Keen Face Stamps. I just love how cute they make these little kids.

I also used an old paper punch for the butterflies and hand doodled behind them. I used Emma's new 'Stitched Oval Die' at the bottom of the frame as well as part of a sentiment stamp from her 'Gift Card Sentiments.'

Thanks so much for your sweet comments and support. They mean so much to me! Hugs- Glora

These are beautiful cursive sentiments that work perfectly with this die or even on there own. I LOVE them! Here is my birthday gift card holder for today's project:

And do you see that perfect stitching around the perimeter of the bottom part of the gift card? Those are stitched stamps that come with this awesome set of sentiments. I also made some cute polka dot patterned paper using the 'Extra Small Polka Dot' stamp by Peachy Keen Stamps.

Here is what the gift card holder looks like opened up:
