My Creative Time December Release Blog Hop

Welcome to the My Creative Time December Release Blog Hop. If you came here from the talented Cindy B's blog than you are in the right spot if not make sure to start back at the My Creative Time Blog to get the full blog hop in.

For my project I made a coordinating card and envelope. I have a sweet crafting friend Amanda that does this all the time. I love the look and wish I took the time to coordinate my cards and envelopes more often.

The A2 sized background was made using the new Love Collage. The darling little stitched hearts are the new Stitched Heart Layering Dies, The postage stamp shape behind the girl is the new Stitched Postage Frame Die. And last but not least from the new release is the sentiment from the envelope. It is from Emma's new Chocolate Greetings stamp set.

The little girl image is actually an angel from the January 2012 SKOTM by Peachy Keen Stamps. I just cut off her wings and halo to make it a little girl. The cute little rose in her hair is from Liz's Paper Loft Boutique.

Happy Valentine's Day Gift Card Holder

I am having lots of fun with my new My Creative Time stamps and my new Peachy Keen Stamp of the Month set so I decided to combine them for a cute little project. I wanted to share another quick sneak of a beautiful sentiment on one of Emma's newest stamp sets. I just LOVE this font. Emma's big sneak peek and release week starts Monday morning and you won't want to miss out. Here is a little something to help get you excited for next week. 

I used Emma's Embossed Gift Card Holder, along with a sentiment from one of her new stamp sets. I also used a sweet little angel from the new January 2012 Stamp of the Month set by Peachy Keen Stamps. Isn't she so sweet? I wish my coloring did her full justice.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you will join in the linky party going on over at the Peachy Keen Stamps Challenge Blog right now. And I hope to see you back here bright on early Monday for the start of Emma's January stamp release sneak peek week. Have a great one! Hugs- Glora

PKS Linky Party

If you are looking for Debbie (DD's Crafts) 50th birthday blog hop, please scroll down 2 posts or click HERE!!!

Hello Peachy Keen friends. It is my first official Peachy Keen Design Team post and I'm super excited to share a couple of cards that I made with the January 2012 Stamp of the Month set by Peachy Keen Stamps. It is a super cute and very versatile set. I also wanted to let you know that we will be having a linky party over on the PKS Challenge Blog so that all of you can link up a Peachy Keen project too! I hope you will all join in the Peachy fun!

My first card uses the largest heart on the January 2012 Stamp of the Month set. I also used the XOXOXOXO A-2 Background Stamp for the background.

Isn't she a cutie? I just love that face. I colored her by inking her up with Distress Ink and Versafine inks in 3 shades of red (I've seen my DT sister Nikki do this with distress inks and had to try it). From there I did a little paper piecing. I will admit that I was too lazy to cut out all the little flowers so I added some Prima flowers and pearls instead. I also found out that this darling sentiment from the January 2012 stamp of the month set fit perfectly on Emma's Stitched Oval Die.

And here is my second card, I just could not get this idea out of my head until I made her up:

I used the smaller angel from the January 2012 Stamp of the Month set and colored her up. I trimmed her wings and halo off and added a face from the Just Baby Faces stamp set by PKS. I hand cut and inked up her legs. The bed is cut from the Sugar and Spice Cricut Lite cartridge. And the perfect sentiment for this scene is from Emma's Pain Pain Go Away stamp set.

Here is a closer look at this stamp set. Just imagine this full sheet of stamps at 8 1/2" x 11". They are big beautiful stamps. And there are SO many possibilities with this set, I just love the options just from interchanging the faces...

Make sure to stop by the Peachy Keen Challenge Blog to see what awesome inspiration the design team has for you and to link up your own Peachy Keen project too. Hugs- Glora
