BEE Mine

A close up of all the glitter!

 

Hello everyone and happy Saturday! I have a fun card to share with you today that I made using My Craft Spot's Build A Valentine stamp set on. I did go a little glitter crazy on this card, but I think it turned out cute!

The card I created by cutting the bee hive from Create A Critter and mounted it to a card base. I then used my scissors to trim around it to get this card shape. I added a glittered heart to the top and stickle highlights over the entire hive. 

The bear was cut from Teddy Bear Parade and I stamped the face with Peachy Keen's NEW Teddy Bear Faces. I also added some hearts to the antenna that I glittered. 

To finish I added some gems and stamped the sentiment banner using My Craft Spot's Build A Valentine stamp set. 

The challenge at My Craft Spot this week is "Bling It Up"  Use glitter/bling on your project. You have until Monday to link up and the prize is the very stamp set I used on this card! 

I hope you all enjoyed seeing my card and thanks for looking! Have a great weekend.

Good morning everyone! I have a super sweet bag to show you today that I used My Craft Spot stamps on. This week at My Craft Spot the challenge is "Wrap It Up" Create gift packaging. You have until Monday to get your project in for a chance to win a stamp set!

I made this bag using THIS tutorial I saw the other day. It it really easy to do and I love how you can re-size it to any size you need. 

My bag is smaller. It measures 5.25 X 5.5 inches. Perfect for those little gifts.

After I created the bag I added some decorative paper and ribbon handles. I also tied bows to the front and added the tag. The teddy was cut from Teddy Bear Parade and the circle mats from George and Basic Shapes. I also cut the ovals for her paws from George. I opted to not use her big reindeer nose that goes with this cut and instead stamped the face with a Peachy Keen face stamp. I added Glossy Accents to her nose and tied some twine for her antlers. For the bottom of the bag I punched an oval, stamped the sentiment, and added it to a banner that I scored and folded back and forth.

I hope you all like my bag and thanks for stopping in! Have a great day!

Thanksgiving Bears

Hello everyone! It's time for a new challenge at My Craft Spot! This week the challenge is "Thanksgiving". Create a project with a Thanksgiving theme. 

I made an easel card for my project today. These cards are so much fun the way they open and the recipient can display them proudly. 

I cut the bears from Teddy Bear Parade and their clothes. The hats and collars I custom sized in CCR from Paper Doll Dress Up. I added some gold marker for the buckles and trimmed down the boy's outfit for a little more detail. I stamped the sentiment and added a button with twine center to a raffia bow. For the inside and the easel holder part, I used the Tiny Doilies Dies and stamped the sentiment and pumpkin.

I hope you will all play along this week and please don't forget to check out what the rest of the DT has created. Have a great day!

For my project today, I made a set of 3 winter cards! These bears are so stinkin cute, I just LOVE them! I kept the design very simple to re-create several of these cards. 

Each card I started by embossing the background with a snowflake folder and used my sewing machine to sew around the mat. The bears were cut from Teddy Bear Parade. The blue bear I left the design as it is in the booklet. The other 2, I hid the bear on the sweater and stamped the designs using the NEW Stampin' Around Christmas stamp set. I also added twine poms and tassle's to their hats. I used Holly Berry, Christmas Candy Cane, and Chocolate Truffle Trendy Twine.I stamped each sentiment from the NEW Think Snow stamp set and used  a punch to punch them out. I added some more twine around the card and mounted the sentiments on pop dots. 

Now for the BEST part! Each one of us is giving away 1 one the new stamp sets! All you have to do is leave a comment on all the blogs through the hop, and that will give you a total of 9 chances! I am giving away the stamp set I used in these cards...Think Snow!
