Sew Fun -My Craft Spot Challenge Project

Hello friends,

It's Monday, a fabulous day for another challenge at My Craft Spot!

This weeks challenge:

Sew Fun

Hand or machine stitch on your project

Since I love sewing on my projects I just couldn't wait to create this card. I've had this card idea in my mind since I designed the Stampin' Around Summer stamp set, the other stamp set I used is Chunky Alphabet, as well as the Tiny Doilies and the Small Alphabet metal dies.

This fun flower shape is cut using my Silhouette Cameo the image if from Miss Kate Cuttables called "flowers set of 4" it can be found -HERE.

 This is my fun idea for a personalized wedding card... use the Stampin' Around Summer stamp set for the "Mr. Mrs." and then and a personalized monogram letter (of the married couples last name) from the Chunky Alphabet stamp set . Love it!
I used the Tiny Doily metal dies that coordinate perfectly with all the Stampin' Around stamp sets.
I tied a double bow using the Spring Moss crinkle ribbon.
Ribbon, stamps and dies are all available at My Craft Spot in the shop -HERE.
I used the Martha Stewart border punch Daisy,along the bottom edge of the white cardstock, the green cardstock has been embossed using the Cindy Loo leaves Cuttlebug embossing folder.

 The butterflies are from the Small Alphabet metal die set, not only does the die set come with an alphabet, but a few shapes as well. I added Recollection pearls on the butterflies and various place on the card. I also sponged all edges using my Tim Holtz Antique Linen ink (all the inking is done before glueing the card together).

I hope you enjoyed my card, and remember to head over to My Craft Spot to see more "Sew Fun" projects made by My Craft Spot's design team -HERE. We would love you to join us for this weeks challenge!

Day 5 My Craft Spot Stamp Release Party -Tiny Tags 3

Hello all my friends, I hope you have followed along this week for the fabulous Stamp Release Party for My Craft Spot, I know the design team and I have really enjoyed sharing so many inspiring projects with you, and today day 5 the inspiration continues.

We are showing a sneak peek of the new Tiny Tags 3 stamp set, designed by Kimberly, as well as a new metal die, the 4" Doily. I loved designing this doily, it's a beautiful doily with all it's intricate details. 

The new Tiny Tags 3 stamp set has several tiny phrases for may different occasions, you'll definitely use this set over and over again.

For my card, I used two phrases from this set "Hello my friend" then on the inside of my card I used this fun phrase "Keep Calm and Craft On", I'm was thinking about one of my crafty friends when making this card.

The new Tiny Tags 3 is the third set in the Tiny Tags stamp set series, it coordinates perfectly with the Tiny Tags metal die set which is currently available.

My flower was made using several flat flowers from I am Roses, I crumpled them up then layered them on one another.  Behind the flower is Ivory Jute Twine from My Craft Spot and pearl sprays (if that is what  you call them).

The tags are from the Tiny Tags Metal dies, I just ran a straight stitch across all three tags using my sewing machine then added a little bling to all of the tags where the holes are, I love this fun look.

All pattened paper is from Simple Stories Vintage Bliss 6x6 paper pad.

Quick look at the Tiny Tags Metal Die set now available at My Craft Spot -HERE.

Beautiful Wedding Card

My daughters best friend got married recently in the Idaho Falls Temple and I felt so privilege to have been able to attended. Wow, so many tears of joy that day!

This weeks challenge at My Craft Spot is...

Wedding

make a card or projects with a wedding theme

I wanted to share where I got my inspiration for the design of my card.

It began as I first grabbed my "Happily Ever After" stamp set to make a wedding card. I then went to the amazing My Craft Spot Gallery -HERE (if you haven't been there, you should go... you'll find hundreds of ideas using the My Craft Spot stamp sets), I looked at the ideas using the Happily Ever After stamp set, and found a beautiful card made by My Craft Spot's design team member Marlene. Then my creative process begun...

The colors for the wedding I attended were peach, mint green and gray, so I choose similar colors for my card.

Below is Marlene's beautiful card. Thanks Marlene for inspiring me!

Close up of the sentiment from the Happily Ever After stamp set.

I used pearls from Recollections, the flowers were from I am Roses and Wild Orchid Crafts.
I always use hot glue when I add these flowers to my cards.

You will love this versatile stamp set and it's coordinating die.  It's so fun for me to design a stamp set, while doing so and I often have ideas in mind for cards and projects; then I see what the design team has created using the Postage Stamp stamp set and I can't help but think.... Wow, such a clever idea, I didn't think of using like that.... love it! 

I can't wait for  you to see all the phrases and images that are included in the Postage Stamp stamp set.

For my project I made a set of 3.5" square cards, and used 8 images... yep 8 from the Postage Stamp stamp set and believe me there are so many more images to play with :) 

I also used the Postage Stamp metal die, love this cut!

I used my Silhouette to cut these cute flower and strawberries, they're both in the same set from Miss Kate Cuttables, I love the look of those 3-D flowers.
I inked everything using the Tim Holtz Tea Dye distress ink for a great vintage look.

Below is a close up of  7 of the fabulous stamps, one of the stamps is a is a script background, I've used it on the postage stamp and the lined paper below... it's really neat and gives this card just a hint of vintageness (not really a word... but I'm using it because it's sounds so fun... vintageness).

Added some fun stitching using my sewing machine.

Flower Pot Thank You Card -Freshly Picked Cartridge

Hello eveyone, I'm so happy to share another lovely shape card you, I'm also sharing it over at My Craft Spot. This flower pot is cut form the Freshly Picked Cricut Cartridge from page 33 of the handbook and measures approx. 4 1/4" tall and 4 1/2" wide. 

The flower pot is cut using Velveteen Paper, and I cut extra layers of leaves an flowers so I could do my wet and wrinkle technique.

I wet the cardstock, wrinkle it up and gently unfold it, then dry it using my heat tool. It just gives the cardstock a bit of a wrinkled look. I have a video showing this technique on another card -HERE.

I've used Kimberly's new"Thank You" stamp set for the two sentiments and love how they've added a beautiful touch with the two different fonts styles. The bow was tied using the Vanilla Bean Crinkle Ribbon. Both the stamp set and ribbon can be purchased -HERE in the My Craft Spot Shop.
The metal Pin Clip holding the "Thank You" sentiment is from Close to My Heart.
I used my My Favorite Things Die-namics "Mini Tabs Foursome" metal dies to cut out the "for your kindness".
Added Recollections flat back sticky pearls to the center of the flowers.

Thanks for visiting, have a lovely day!
