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

You Are My Sunshine Note Card

Good morning friends. I have a quick card to share with you today. I made this note card for the current Let's Face it Friday challenge over at Peachy Keen Stamps. We were supposed to make something that radiated the warmth of the sunshine. I thought that red, orange and yellow were perfect for showing the warmth of the sunshine. I also inked the edges of everything to give it a little more warmth.

This beautiful dotted border stamp is by My Creative Time. It is called Small Talk. The sentiment is from Emma's Turn That Frown Upside Down stamp set. The face is from Critter Faces by Peachy Keen Stamps. And all the paper is from the Die Cuts with a View Citrus Stack.

Items Used:

*Just Because Cards Cricut cartridge

*My Creative Time stamps - Small Talk

*My Creative Time stamps - Turn That Frown Upside Down

*Peachy Keen Stamps - Critter Faces

*DCWV - Citrus Stack

*Maraschino twine from The Twinery

* Tuskineko Kaliedacolor ink for inking

My Creative Time's August Stamp release BLOG HOP!

Welcome to the My Creative Time August Stamp Release BLOG HOP! If you came here from Katie's Blog you are in the right place, if not make sure you start at Emma's Blog so that you won't miss a bit of information or inspiration.

For my card project today I used the 'Mixed Holiday Greetings' and the 'Fancy Frame Stamp and Die Set.'

I had so much fun making this card. I used Core'dinations Cardstock for everything except for the peach and black paper. I inked all of the edges before assembling and those darling scare-crow faces are Peachy Keen Stamps, this particular set is no longer available for purchase but believe there are others available that will make darling scarecrow faces. I used the beautiful Fancy Frame and Die Set (I just cut it in half which was something I had seen my design team sister Katie do before). For the co-ordinating stamp for this die I only inked up some of the dots so that the sentiment would fit without covering the dots. Other than that, I added some chalk to the cheeks and a little bit of doodling and voila, a fun card for the upcoming fall.

Here are the pictures of Emma's New Releases that I used on this project:

My Creative Time - August Release - Sneak Peek Day 2

Welcome to day two of sneak peeks at My Creative Time. Today we are using an adorable stamp set called 'Mixed Holiday Greetings.' We are also using a new die and stamp combo called the 'Fancy Frame Die and Stamp Set.' For my project I made a tri-fold card. Here is the front of the card:

When you untie the ribbon you can lift up the flaps to reveal the inside of the card:

I re-tied the bow from the outside on the inside just for the picture, but you can see where the holes where the ribbon is threaded through. 'Warm holiday wishes' is another sentiment from the Mixed Holiday Greetings stamp set and the darling shape it is stamped on is the darling new 'Fancy Frame Die and Stamp Set.'
