Tulips for Mother's Day

I made this card for my sweet Mother-in-law for Mother's Day.

I used lots of My Creative Time products on this and all of the paper is from PaperTrey Ink. For my 3x4 shape card I used the following My Creative Time products: The Stitched Grass Die (grass), the Stitched 3x4 Journal Die (shape card), Stitched Pretty Flowers and Leaves Dies (tulips and stems), the Stitched Sweetheart and XOXO Dies (hearts inside the flowers), and the Cartoon Cloud Background stamp.

I used the Stitched Gift Card Pocket Die for my gift card and the sentiment comes from the More Gift Card Sentiments stamp set.

This is the card with it's coordinating envelope. The Stitched 3x4 Journal die fits perfectly inside the Scallop Stitched Envelope Die. I added another Tulip and then some sentiments from the Mom, You Rock stamp set.

I'm entering this for the current challenge over at My Creative Time. The challenge is to make a project for Mother's Day with at least one flower on it.

Have a wonderful day! Hugs- Glora

Peachy Keen Sneak Peek Day 3

Have you been LOVING all the Peachy Keen sneak peeks? Well Kathy has done it again and created some more AMAZING stamps! I love this April kit and the face sets are some of my all time favorites.

Here is a fun graduation card I made using the bee and graduation cap off this April 2013 SKOTM set. I also used my new Silhouette Cameo to cut the SVG's for the perfect outline.

Doesn't that bee and its sweet face just make you smile? 

The polka dot paper is by PaperTrey Ink. The twine is from The Twinery. I used Copics to color my bee and some Stickles and StarDust gel pen for the sparkle. I hope you like it.

Make sure to stop by the PKS blog to check out what everyone else has made. I know you won't be disappointed. Hugs- Glora 

Bridal Shower Congratulations!

Hi, I'm just popping by to share a super simple card that I made for my niece's bridal shower.

The colors are a little lighter in real life and are the colors for her wedding. The purple is really more of a lilac but you get the general idea. The polka dot paper I used is the Bitty Dots collection by PaperTrey Ink. The stamps are from the December 2012 SKOTM by Peachy Keen Stamps. I added some gemstone embellishments and used a EK Success punch for the scallops. Simple yet kind of elegant too.

Hugs- Glora

MCT May Release Project Day 1

Hello and welcome to a week of creative inspiration using Emma's newest - special birthday - release over at My Creative Time. ALL of these stamps and dies are already available for pre-order and will be shipping out soon.

Today I made a set of 4, 4"x4" cards. These are a nice size for a little note.

I used all 3 different mustaches from the What's Growing On? stamp and die set. Aren't they a fun variety and each one has Emma's beautiful stitching around it.

I inked the edges of the mustaches and the layers of the card. I also added some faux stitching around the patterned paper. The pretty polka dot paper is by PaperTrey Ink called Bitty Dots.

Monday Madness... Imagine That using Red, White and Black

Hello My Creative Time friends. Welcome to another Monday Madness.. Imagine That. Today we are using our Imagine machines if we have them otherwise we use patterned paper and make Imagine like projects. The colors we are using today are red, white and black which to me spell DISNEY!!! Yes, if you don't know me already I'm a total Disney nut and love to sneak a little Disney touch into some of my projects.

Anyway, here is my card for today:

Minnie was cut from the Mickey and Friends cartridge at 5.5". The perfect sentiment is from Emma's Just a Little Note to Say stamp set. I love how this turned out and I hope you like it too.

Monday Madness... Imagine That!

Welcome to  another Monday Madness... Imagine That! with Emma at My Creative Time. This week we were to make anything we wanted so long as we used our Imagine or patterned paper. I don't have an Imagine, so it was patterned paper all the way!

I was super excited to break out my new Cricut Everyday cartridge that I got with my 3 month Cricut Circle trial membership. I had a really sweet friend give me the membership and this is the cartridge that they sent out to us.

Can you tell that it is a Gypsy?! I thought it would be fun to give her a cute Peachy Face too! I used Emma's 'Paper Princess' stamp set along with her 'Stitched Oval Die'! I love how many sentiments fit onto these dies. They are perfect! I LOVE them!!!

I hope you will hop on over to Emma's blog (if you haven't already been there) and see what she and the rest of the design team have in store for you! I'm hoping to find all of you sweet friends happy and well! Be safe and make it a good day! Hugs- Glora

True Love Lasts Forever

I have another anniversary card for my parents to share with you today. This one is a larger one (8 1/2 x 5 1/2) so that everyone could write a little note in it for my parents.

You Are Still Young at Heart

I come from a family of young and old Disney lovers that are all kids at heart. I thought this card would be perfect to have on hand for a birthday card. I'm using it for two different challenges. The first is the Peachy Keen Stamps sketch challenge, I love the sketch and hope to use it again soon. The second is for the Crazy About Cricut birthday challenge. For this challenge we were to make something that we love or a birthday project. Well I did both, it is a birthday card but it is also inspired by something I love, DISNEY.

and here is the inside of the card...

I used two sets of My Creative Time stamps, Wow! So Many Candles and Polka Dot Surprise!. I LOVE, love, LOVE these stamps.

This is a business envelope sized card. I hope you like it. I also wanted to remind you that Monday will be the start of my birthday celebration. I hope you will pop by and see what I have in store for you all. Have a wonderful day.
