Valentine Mouse

Today, I am sharing a Valentine’s card that I created.

I started with a heart frame from My Scrap Chick. The file came with the rounded square mat for the centre, and I from Treasure Box Designs. The file came with the red heart (which I embossed with a tiny dots folder). I then added a few more little hearts around the red one. There’s a little bit of Valentine baker’s twine strung between two of the hearts in the frame too.

At the bottom of my card, I stamped a fun sentiment from the Simply Said stamp set. I LOVE the heart-shaped letter o’s on this sentiment!! I finished everything off with another little heart next to the sentiment.

Have a fabulous day!

My Craft Spot Christmas Stamp Release Party - Day 4

It's Day Four of the My Craft Spot Christmas stamp release party and today we are sharing projects created with the NEW Christmas Chalkboard  stamp set. This set is full of beautiful sentiments for the Christmas season, all of which can be used to achieve the chalkboard look on your projects. All week long, we're sharing creations made with one of the FIVE new stamp sets (and some NEW SVG files too)! Everything will be available for purchase on Saturday. Be sure to hop along in our blog hop over the weekend for your chance to win a gift certificate to the My Craft Spot Shop.

As soon as I saw the NEW Christmas Chalkboard stamps, I knew that my first creation using this set would be "O Come Let Us Adore Him". I was delighted to find My Scrap Chick's Nativity set with shepherds and sheep as the images were just what I had in mind to go with the sentiment. After cutting, inking and assembling the sweet characters, I layered them (with the little lamb popped) over some starry night paper and ground which was created using Fancy Edges metal dies.

After stamping my sentiment on some blue vellum, I cut it out using a Scrapping Life Cards metal die. They look like they were meant to go together! I then added a wee star cut from Small Alphabet metal dies. I just love the way the little shepherd and his precious lamb are looking up at the star and realizing its incredible significance as they journey forward to welcome the newborn king. 

Please remember to visit My Craft Spot today. The rest of the design team has created some wonderful projects to showcase today's NEW Christmas Chalkboard stamp set.

My Craft Spot Christmas Stamp Release Party - Day 3

It's Day Three of the My Craft Spot Christmas stamp release party and today we are sharing projects created with the NEW Tiny Tags Christmas stamp set. This set contains LOTS of little sentiments that all coordinate perfectly with the Tiny Tags metal dies (and can be used without too). All week long, we're sharing creations made with one of the FIVE new stamp sets (and some NEW SVG files too)! Everything will be available for purchase on Saturday. Be sure to hop along in our blog hop over the weekend for your chance to win a gift certificate to the My Craft Spot Shop.

For my project, I decided to create a set of little 3x3 Santa cards. I love this fun face file I found at My Scrap Chick!  Isn't he cute?! After cutting all the pieces, I embossed Santa's hat, mustache and beard and inked the nose a bit before assembling him.

I used Tiny Banners and Toppers for my sentiment, and used one of the NEW Tiny Tags Christmas stamps. Ho Ho Ho is just perfect my jolly little Santa cards!

If you haven't been by already, please check things out at My Craft Spot to see all the projects created by the rest of the design team. While you are there, leave a comment for Kimberly for your chance to win a $10US gift certificate to the My Craft Spot Shop.

My Craft Spot Christmas Stamp Release Party - Day 2

It's Day Two of the My Craft Spot Christmas stamp release party and today we are sharing projects created with the NEW O Holy Night stamp set. This set contains a variety of beautiful sentiments. I decided to take one and add a bit of whimsy to it. All week long, we're sharing creations made with one of the FIVE new stamp sets (and some NEW SVG files too)! Everything will be available for purchase on Saturday. Be sure to hop along in our blog hop over the weekend for your chance to win a gift certificate to the My Craft Spot Shop.

This hot cocoa pouch was created with a cut file from My Scrap Chick. (I only realized as I was writing up this post that the paper for the mug is upside-down!! Oops!!) After everything was inked and assembled, I stamped a sentiment from the NEW O Holy Night set onto the speech bubble (which came with the cut file). After that, all I needed to do was add the hot chocolate pouch! I'm hoping to make some more of these as little gifts to give over the holidays.

Be sure to head over to My Craft Spot to see the rest of the design team creations. They're amazing!! And, while you're there, leave a comment for Kimberly for your chance to win a gift certificate to the My Craft Spot Shop.

Pumpkin Box

Happy Monday! It's time for another challenge over at My Craft Spot and this week is all about Trick or Treat. When I saw the cute pumpkin box cut at My Scrap Chick, I just couldn't wait to make it!

After cutting my pumpkin, I inked the edges and ran it through the Cuttlebug. I'm addicted to texture!! I loved how quickly everything went together! I decided to dress things up a bit and that's where the wonderful products from My Craft Spot came into play. 

I layered some Tiny Doilies and stamped the top ring with a sentiment from Stamping All Around Fall. In the middle, I popped a spider cut with the newly released Halloween Shapes metal dies. The Happy Halloween sentiment was cut using Fancy Edges - Halloween metal dies. I decided to add a little ghost too. It was also cut with one of the Halloween Shapes metal dies.

What's a Trick or Treat box without treat? I had purchased a huge bin of Halloween jubes last week and fortunately, there were some left for my project!! I filled a bag and then tied it with some fun Halloween baker's twine.

There are more projects to see over at My Craft Spot. Please head over to check them out - and to link up your own Trick or Treat project for a chance to win this week's gift certificate to the My Craft Spot Shop.

Have a fabulous day!!

You Amaze Me Card

Good morning! Today I am sharing a quick and easy card over at My Craft Spot and I'm sharing it here too.

Recently, My Scrap Chick had a fun little maze card freebie. In fact, when I checked this morning, the file was still free! I made some adjustments to the card to make it my own and love the way it turned out! 

I used some metal dies from the Scrapping Life Cards set for the funky arrows and heart. (I did trim the arrows a little bit.) Next, I cut out the letters for "you" and "me" using the Small Alphabet metal dies set. That's it! When I gave the card to my husband, he looked at it and said, "You puzzle me?" I shook my head, smiled, and replied, "Yes, you really do puzzle me." Oh well, I tried!! (Seriously, though, he does appreciate the card and it was fun to get a good laugh out of it too!! And I did remind him that I think he's amazing.)

Here are the die sets I used to create my card. They are available for purchase at the My Craft Spot Shop!

My Craft Spot Stamp Release Party - Day Five

Wow! This week has flown! It's already Friday and this means that it is Day 5 of the My Craft Spot Stamp and Metal Die Release Party!! Our set to showcase today is the NEW Build a Birthday stamp set. There are a number of great words and phrases that can be combined to create a number of great sentiments for birthdays (and other occasions, as seen by my project)!

My daughter recently got her driver's license. I made this card to congratulate her. I used a fun image from My Scrap Chick for the girl in the car. There are three different sizes of chevron/jagged border dies in the NEW Fancy Edges 2 metal die set. I used all three to create the patterned layer at the bottom of my card. 

The cloud is part of a Miss Kate Cuttables image set. I used two stamps from the NEW Build a Birthday set to create my sentiment and then popped on an enamel dot for some added fun.

If you haven't been by already, please head over to My Craft Spot to see the rest of the design team projects showcasing the NEW Build a Birthday set.  While you are there, leave a comment for Kimberly for your chance to win today's prize: the original Tiny Tags stamp set!

Thanks so much for popping by!  Tomorrow, Kimberly will have the full reveal of all the NEW My Craft Spot products AND we celebrate with a blog hop - with prizes at EACH stop along the way!

Congrats Grad!

Happy Victoria Day!  

It's time for another fun challenge at My Craft Spot and this week's theme is Congrats/Graduation.  At the end of June, my youngest will be graduating from his school (Grade 6) to move on to middle school. Life can be a challenge for him as he has autism so we are especially proud of this major accomplishment in his life. Four years ago, he was in a private school that was absolutely awful for him.  With a broken heart, we took him out of his school and put him in the public system.  WOW!  What a difference!  My biggest prayer was that he would be accepted and loved for who he is - and that prayer has been answered.  We are so incredibly thankful for the support that he has received and the full extent of inclusivity that has been extended to him.

I used a fun file from My Scrap Chick to create my card.  I designed the word art using a Brady Bunch font.

I finished everything off with a fabulous sentiment from My Craft Spot's Banner Sentiments set.  This card was so quick and easy to assemble - and I LOVE the way it turned out!

In this busy time of graduations, weddings, babies, new homes, etc., etc., be sure to enter your congratulations/graduation projects at My Craft Spot for a chance to win this week's prize - the Banner Sentiments stamp set!
