My Creative Time Design Team Day - "Shaped Card"

Hello friends. Here we are with another fun Design Team day over at My Creative Time. Today Emma wanted us to make a shaped card. For my card I used the "All Around Christmas" stamp set.

I just LOVE that darling Merry Christmas sentiment on Emma's All Around Christmas Stamp set. It is such a fun font. I love it! And if you have followed my blog for a while you will know that I can't make a 'rocking horse' project without attaching it to an Action Wobble. It is just the perfect motion for these sorts of things. Although they can be fun to add to just about anything. And as always I made a VERY short video demonstrating how cute this little elf looks rocking on his rocking horse.



Make sure to drop by the My Creative Time blog and see what Emma and the other Design Team members have made. I'm certain there will be some beautiful inspiration to be seen. Have a supercalifragilisticexpialidocious day! HUGS- Glora

Throwback Thursday Paper Doll & Embossing Challenge

Here is my first official Design Team Project for Emma's Team (My Creative Time). I'm SO excited! This is the start of another Throwback Thursday Challenge. The challenge this time is to use some form of embossing and one of the Paper Doll Cricut cartridges. I thought this was such a fun challenge. The paper doll cartridges have SO many amazing images to choose from. I hope you will join in the fun.

This is my Valentine's Day card for my sweet Mom. The sentiments both come from Emma's new line of stamps, this set is called Mom You Rock. Here is a picture of all the amazing sentiments on this set:

Celebrations

Today is my Mom and Dad's 51st anniversary and my Sister in laws birthday. It is a day of celebration! This is the card I made for my sister in law.


The happy birthday sentiment is cut from Calligraphy Collection. I made the flower border with the flower scallop from the Easter 2010 cartridge. I welded a couple of scallops to a rectangle for the card base. Last of all I added some sequin flowers, rhinstones, white dotting and a ribbon.

Happy Happy Anniversary!

This weekend I was busy making a couple of anniversary cards. This first card is for a couple in our neighborhood. They just celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary. How awesome is that?

For this card I used the scalloped circle from the Easter 2010 cartridge (I welded two together in my Gypsy). The circle is from George. The 50 is the Gypsy Font welded together. I ran my circle through the Cuttlebug using the love language embossing folder for the tiny heart background. I pop dotted the 50 for some added depth and added a ribbon to the top. Pretty simple, but I like how it turned out.
The second card is for my sister and her husband. They were married in the Salt Lake LDS Temple and when I saw this image on my Destinations cartridge I had to make them an anniversary card with it.
Like I said the Salt Lake Temple is on the Destinations cartridge. I welded together two shadow layers in my Gypsy and then cut the temple for the front. I added a Happy Forever stamp and cut my own gold piece for the Angel Moroni statue at the top of the temple (the cartridge doesn't have that extra layer, but I just 'cheated the cut' in my Gypsy and layered it on top).

Happy Mother's Day - a little late

Yesterday was a super busy and wonderful day. So, this post is a little late. But here is the Mother's Day card I made for my Mom. It is a larger card because all my siblings needed to write a note in it. The card for my husband's Mom is in an earlier post. Click on this link if you would like to see it.




I used the Gypsy font for Happy Mother's Day and welded it together. The flower is from the Easter 2010 cartridge (I just cut parts of it a few time so that I could layer it). Then I added some white dotting and a few gems. I hope everyone else had a very happy Mother's Day too.
