Day 3 Of My Craft Spot's Stamp Release Party

Hello everyone and welcome to day 3 of My Craft Spot's Sneak Peeks! Everyday this week there will be lots of fun projects to see and giveaways each day! We will be having a blog hop on Saturday along with the full reveal of all the new stamp sets! We ALL will also be giving away 1 of the new stamp sets at each blog in the hop!

Today we are showing sneak peeks of the new Joy To The World stamp set. 

This card turned out so pretty! I love all the texture and layers. 

I distressed the edges of the background and used my sewing machine to sew around it. I added a rectangle of burlap and layered stars on top. The stars were cut from George and Basic Shapes. I embossed the big one and made the smaller one 3D. I did this by starting in the center and scoring to each point. Then I scored to each inside. Then I folded the lines up and down to make it stand up. I added some crinkle ribbon with a button center tied with some jute string. The sentiment banner was cut from Once Upon A Princess and I stamped that beautiful sentiment. 

Thanks for stopping in today and I'll be back for Day 4 tomorrow. Don't forget to go to My Craft Spot for the daily prize and the other projects from the DT.  Have a great day!

Baptism Gift Bag

Hello everyone! I wanted to show you all the gift bag that I made for my nephews baptism that is tomorrow. Awhile back I made the card and wanted to make a matching bag for it. The full details for the card can be found HERE.
I took a plain gift bag and dressed it up to match the card. The lamb was cut from Paper Doll Dress Up and the frame from Once Upon A Princess. The cross was cut in the frame and that was from Indie Art. I printed the poem off my computer and added a bow around the bag. I just love that poem and the way this whole set turned out.
Thanks for looking and have a great weekend!

The ice cream cone was cut from Once Upon A Princess. I only cut one of the scoops and added a chocolate piece that was punched with the MS Drippy Goo Punch.

Wobble Wednesday Bunny

Hello everyone and happy Sunday! I have a card to show you today that I did for a couple of challenges. I found a new challenge blog and wanted to play! It's called Wobble Wednesday's and it's all about action wobbles. Your free to do any sort of project as long as it has an action wobble on it. FUN FUN FUN!
For my project I made this card. I miss-cut the blue mat for a different project that I made and loved the way it looked in this card, so I used it. It's cut from Once Upon A Princess. The bunny in the flower and extra flowers were cut from Baby Steps. I just love the cute little bunnies, bears, and chicks that can be found in the font sections of this cart! I always refer to them as the hidden gems! LOL! I stamped the bunny face with a Peachy Keen Ballin' Bunnies face from the Sampler Package of Faces. One of my all time favorite crafty items is the PK faces. In my opinion they add SO much character to an otherwise ordinary cut. Then again, if you visit my blog regularly, you already know how much I love my PK faces! :)
To finish I inked all the edges of the cuts and of course added my bunny to an action wobble. It was a little too big for my cut, so I trimmed in the sides so it wouldn't show. I wasn't sure if it would stay together, but it did! I also stamped the sentiment which is from Whimsical Designs Whimsical Fun Vol. 1 stamp set.
I am going to enter this into the following challenges:
1. Wobble Wednesday's- All about bunnies: Use an Action Wobble and a bunny
2. Little Scrap Pieces- My Favorite Things- use one of your favorite crafty items on your project
Have a wonderful day and thanks for looking!

Baptism Card

Hello everyone! Here is the card that I made for my Nephew's Baptism. He is getting Baptized next month and I am planning ahead! LOL! No last minute cards this time!
I made an easel card using Once Upon A Princess for the shape and mat. I embossed the mat with the Textile Cuttlebug folder and did a gray stitching line around the outside front. The lamb's were cut from Paper Doll Dress Up and I inked the edges and used a black pen for the details. The cross was cut from Indie Art and I swagged a ribbon with bows behind it. The sentiment was printed from my computer and was cut using Once Upon A Princess. I also added a gray stitching line around the it. I added bows to the sides and did a white stitching line around the inside mat.
I am going to enter this into Fantabulous Cricut's challenge this week which is "Out Like A Lamb" use a gentle animal in your project such as a lamb, puppy, kitten, etc.
I hope you all like my card and thanks for looking. Have a great day!

Create A Critter Kite

Hello everyone! Here is the card that I made to enter into the Simply Crafts challenge. This time the challenge cut is the kite from Create A Critter.
I cut the kite from Create A Critter and cut 4 layers for the kite top. I then quartered each one to get the different colors. I used a black pen and did a stitching line and added colored floss bows. The frame is cut from Once Upon A Princess and I embossed the light pink background with the Poka Dots Cuttlebug floder. I cut matching strips of poka dot paper for the side and added a strip of yellow that I crimped and inked. To finish I stamped the sentiment which is from Whimsical Designs Whimsical Fun Vol. 1.
Thanks for looking and have a great day!

LFIF Recipe Card Challenge

Hello everyone! Here is the card that I made for Peachy Keens LFIF challenge. This time the challenge is to make a recipe card and use a Peachy Keen face.
I got my inspiration for the girl from Miss Emma at My Creative Time. She showed how to print and cut the girl from Imagine Best Friends and stamp the face. So that's what I did. I don't have an E2, so I just flood filled the body with a skin tone and printed and cut it.
I made a Z Fold Pocket Card by cutting a 12 X 4 1/2 inch piece of cardstock. I scored it at 6 and 9 inches. I then cut a piece of cardstock at 2 7/8 X 4 1/2 for the pocket on the inside. I used a Sampin Up Poka Dot stamp and stamped the paper and cut and puched a trim piece for the pocket. I cut the girls body at 4 inches and her hair, shoes, and head I printed and cut. The only reason I printed and cut her head was to get the pig tails. I trimmed off the pig tails, glued them to the head and stamped the face with a Peachy Keen Wide Eyed Kids stamp. For her clothes, I used the Cricut Craft Room! I was able to size the clothes to her body. You are able to combine Imagine cuts and regular Cricut carts....I LOVE this feature in CCR! So I used the dress from Once Upon A Princess and the hat from Paper Doll Dress Up. I used a white pen and did some highlights on her dress and added some white trim to her dress and the ball of the hat. The list was cut from Christmas Cheer and I hand wrote Cookies at the top and some squiggle lines for the writing. I printed out the recipe and mounted it to cardstock. The gingerbread men were cut from Paper Doll Dress Up and I used white and black pens for the highlights and stickles for the buttons. I added a tab by punching an oval shape, folded it in half, and added twine to the end and slid it into the pocket.  I also printed the inside sentiment from my computer and added Glossy Accents to the girls eyes.
I hope you survived my EXTREMELY long post and liked my card! Have a great day and thanks for looking!
I am going to link this up and Robins Creative Cottage in her linky/stamp release party!

Scraptastic Designs Challenge #1!

Hello everyone! It's FINALLY here! The first challenge at Scraptastic Designs! This week the challenge is to decorate a gift bag or box and it must include a tag, stitching, and a button with a Thanksgiving theme.
For my project I decorated a pre-made gable box that I got from Annie's Paper Boutique. I used Cindy's digi Little Pilgrim Boy and colored it with colored pencils. I added Glossy Accents to the turkey, the buckle on his hat, and his eyes. I cut him out and mounted him to a matted frame that I cut from Once Upon A Princess. I made a belly band for the front of the box and added a piece of paper for the top. I cut the leaf tag from Straight From The Nest and added a button with a twine bow. I attatched it to strips of crinkle ribbon that I tied to the handle of the box.
I hope you all liked my project and will check out what the rest of the amazing DT has made for your inspiration. I can't wait to see what you will create! Have a great day!

Scrappy Moms Challenge - Doodlecharms

Hello everyone! I did this card to enter into Scrappy Moms Terrific Tuesday Challenge. This time the challenge was to use Doodlecharms.
I cut the reindeer from Doodlecharms at 3 inches. I stamped the eyes with a Peachy Keen face stamp and used a black and white pen for the highlights. The mats were cut from Once Upon A Princess and I hand cut the tag. I stamped the sentiment and added brads to the card. I also used Distress Ink to ink all the edges and added Glossy Accents to the nose.
I hope you all are having a great weekend and thanks for looking!

M.A.G. Challenge #42 Halloween Treat Bag

Hello everyone! Here is a Halloween candy bag that I made for M.A.G. Challenge By The Page's challenge. This time the challenge is to use Once Upon A Princess pg. 66 only for your Cricut cuts.
I printed and cut the bag using my Imagine and Imagine More for the pattern. I cut it from Once Upon A Princess at fit to page. Kimberly at My Craft Spot has some great tutorials for using her crinkle ribbon. I just loved how the pleated ribbon looked so I did this for the top of my bag. The witch is from a stamp that I got from Michaels and I colored it with Copic markers. I used my scallop scissors to cut the mats for both the witch and sentiment frames. The sentiment stamp is from My Craft Spot's Happy Haunting set and the crinkle ribbon is also from My Craft Spot. If you haven't checked out her new stamps or fall colored ribbon you really should! They're FABULOUS!
I hope you all like my Halloween bag and thanks for looking! Also don't forget that the Whimsical Wednesday Blog hop is coming up on October 7th!

Penguin Card

Hello everyone! Isn't this card just SO CUTE!!! I love how it turned out. I made this card to enter into My Creative Times Throwback Thursday and More Than Favors Wacky Wednesday challenges. For Throwback Thursday you were to make a Christmas card and incorporate material and for Wacky Wednesday it is Christmas In July.
I cut the penguin from Simply Charmed and stamped his face with a Peachy Keen face stamp. For his scrarf I cut a strip of polar fleece and wrapped it around him and tied it. I attatched him to the card with pop dots. The North Pole sign was cut from Jolly Holidays and so was the bird. For the bird's hat I added a pom pom to the circle end and a strip of fiber to the brim. The sentiment tag was cut from Once Upon A Princess. I stamped the sentiment and used my I-Rock to attatch the white gems.
I hope you all are having a great day and thanks for looking!

Just Be-Paws

Hello everyone! Here is the card that I made for Peachy Keen's LFIF challenge #20. This time the challenge is "So Punny". Use a pun on your project along with a PK face.
I made my card in my Gypsy by welding 2 postage stamps together from Create-A-Critter. The dog was cut from Four Legged Friends at 3 inches. I chalked around his body and stamped his face with a Peachy Keen face stamp. I stamped the sentiment which was from the Scrappy Mom's Furry Friends stamp set. It origanally said Just Be-Claws and I stamped everything except for the C and L and replaced them with a P. The sentiment tag was cut from Once Upon A Princess and the center white I punched with a Fiskars punch. To finish I added a stitching line around the card and sentiment tag and added ribbon. I hope you all like my card and thanks for looking! Have a great day!

Christmas In July

Hello everyone! It's time for another challenge at Celebrate The Occasion! This week the challenge is Christmas In July but you CAN'T use the color RED. I made the card in my Gypsy using this star shaped tag from Once Upon A Princess by welding 2 together and cut the circle mat. The snowman was cut from Jolly Holidays at 2.5 inches. I didn't have a small enough face stamp so I used the face from Peachy Keens Vivenne and Friends stamp set. I just used the face from the girl by using my Stamp N' Write marker to color only her face and then stamped it. To finish I added a bow with a snowflake brad, highlighted with a white gel pen, and stamped the sentiment. I hope you will play along this week and I can't wait to see what you will create!

Hello Friend

Happy Saturday everyone! Here is a card that I made for fun. I made the card in my Gypsy by welding 2 tags from Once Upon A Princess to both sides of a square from George and Basic Shapes. I also cut 2 smaller tags for the mat. The snail was printed and cut at 2 inches from Imagine More Cards and I pop dotted his body. To finish I added a bow and stamped the sentiment from a $1 stamp from Michaels. I hope to have my Imagine back soon because I am running out of the things that I printed and cut before I sent it back. :) Have a wonderful day everyone!!!
