"Under The Stars" Easel Card




Hello everyone! It's Monday which means a new challenge at My Craft Spot! This week the challenge is "Under The Stars" Create a project using a camping theme. 
I made this super fun easel card! I think this turned out just awesome!....sorry, don't mean to toot my own horn...LOL!
All of the cuts are from Campin Critters. I did lots of inking and added the eyes to the characters using Peachy Keen face stamps. I added a "Beware" sign to the tree using the sentiment from My Craft Spot's Happy Haunting's set. The grass I cut by hand and stamped the sentiment from Inside and Out Set #2. To finish I added some brads and some twine for the closure on the tent. 
I hope you all will play along this week and please don't forget to check out what the rest of the DT had created. Have a great day!

Birthday Ice Cream



Hello everyone! I have a quick card to show you today. I just LOVE the fun bright colors in this card and of course the too cute to eat ice cream cone! LOL! I paper pieced the ice cream cone using the Peachy Keen July SOTM set and stamped the faces. The side orange strip I punched with a border punch and added some ribbon with a bow. The background white was embossed with the Cuttlebug Poka Dots folder and I added a banner that I stamped using My Craft Spot's Inside and Out Set #2 stamp set. To finish the card I stamped the sentiment on the inside as well. 
Thanks for stopping in today and have a great day!

Bloom Where You're Planted/Peachy Keen Color Challenge




Hello everyone! This is the second card that I made for Peachy Keen's August Release Challenge. This challenge was a sketch:
I paper pieced the mouse from the PK Valentine Cupids stamp set and stamped some grass using a stamp from the PK June SOTM kit. I gave him a flower to hold and matted him to an octagon mat that I cut by hand. The bow is a free printable file that I found HERE. Isn't is awesome? I added a button with some twine on top of the bow. I also added that adorable tag which is from My Craft Spot's NEW Tiny Tag Dies and Tiny Tag 2 sentiments. 
I hope you all like my card and thanks for stopping by today! Have a great day!

Hi everyone! I am sneaking this card in quick before the Peachy Keen Color challenge closes. I didn't think I would have time to play this week, BUT...my new August SOTM kit came in and I HAD to play with them! LOL! So this is the card that I came up with and here is the colors:
I stamped and colored the teacher with Copics and I added Glossy Accents to her glasses. I also stamped the sheet of paper and A+ from the new stamp kit. I added some twine and stamped the sentiments which are from My Craft Spot's Thank You stamp set.

Get Well Turtle




Hello everyone! This is card #1 that I did for the challenges going on at The Peachy Keen Connection. They have two August release challenges and this one is to create a "special" fold card and use at least 3 pattern papers. I must say also that if you haven't seen this month's SOTM kit, you should really go check it out HERE! SO SUPER CUTE!
I made a gate fold card for my card. I paper pieced the turtle from the June SOTM kit and added Glossy Accents to the eyes and nails. I added her to a lacy mat that I cut from Elegant Edges. I added a ribbon and bow and stamped the sentiments from My Craft Spot's Inside and Out Set #2
I hope you liked my card and thanks for stopping by! Have a great day!

Pooh Baby Shower Invitation





Hello everyone! It's time for a new challenge at My Craft Spot! This week the challenge is to make an invitation or announcement. Such as for a wedding, baby, or party.
I am going to admit that I LOVE how this turned out! Pooh is so stinkin cute and just screams "Baby" to me. I love Disney images for Cricut, but they are SO hard to put together. SO....I did my cheater method with my Imagine. My "cheater method", incase you've never heard me talk of it before, is to layer all the cuts on top of each other in Cricut Craft Room and then just print using my Imagine. After it was printed, I trimmed it down and rounded the corners. I added it to a chocolate brown mat and added the ribbon by punching holes and threading ribbon through. Then I stamped all the sentiments using My Craft Spot's New Arrival set. This set makes it so easy to create beautiful handmade invitations! To finish I added Glossy Accents to the bubbles and Pooh's nose.
I hope you enjoyed seeing my invitation and will play along this week! Please don't forget to check out what the rest of the amazing DT had created. Have a wonderful day!

Baby Boy



Hello everyone! I have a different kind of shape card to share with you today. I decided I wanted to try something different and made my card a HALF shape card. I did this by mounting the baby cut to a square card base and then cutting around the outside edge of the baby cut. I created my own background by stamping the "baby boy" (Bundle Of Joy) sentiment in blue and the "flower" (Butterfly Kisses) in green. The baby was cut from Baby Steps and I stamped the face with a PK face.  I finished the inside by stamping the sentiment which is from the new Bundle Of Joy stamp set and is available at My Craft Spot
This week at My Craft Spot the challenge is "Oh Baby" and there's still plenty of time to play along! Thanks for stopping in today and have a great weekend!

Eeyore



Hello everyone! Exploring Cricut's challenge is to create something using a Disney cart. I am actually sad to say that I only own 1 Disney cart...this is sad because I LOVE Disney! 
This is the card that I created for the challenge. I used Pooh Font for Eeyore and my Imagine for the exact colors. You can find the Disney RGB codes HERE. I added a white stitching line around the card and inside mat. The tag I cut by hand using a corner rounders and stamped the sentiment. The sun was cut from Create A Critter. I just love Eeyore and this card! 
Thank you for looking and have a great day!
