My "Heart" Belongs To You!




Hello everyone! It time for a new challenge at My Craft Spot. This week the challenge is "Bling It Up" Use glitter/bling on your project. 
And so....my Valentine quest continues! LOL! I told you all that I LOVE making Valentines! :)
I stamped and colored the mouse using a Peachy Keen stamp and added stickles to the hearts on the arrows and wings. The scallop mat is cut using the Lacy Circles Nestabilities Dies and the banner was cut using My Craft Spot's Lacy Banner Dies. I added eyelets to each banner piece and threaded some Peppermint Stick Trendy Twine through and tied bows to the ends. The sentiment was stamped using My Craft Spot's Always And Forever stamp set and I mounted it to the banner. To finish I added some red stickles to the heart.
I hope you all will play along in the challenge and please don't forget to check out what the rest of the DT had created! Have a great day!

Fruit Trio



 


Hello everyone! I wanted to share a really quick and simple card set that I made. These are all the same design, just different images and sentiments, which makes them really quick. 
Each cards lacy circle mat was cut using the Lacy Circles Nestibilities Die. The apple and peach were cut using Wild Card 2 and the strawberry was cut from Simply Charmed. I stamped the faces with Peachy Keen's Piles Of Smiles 1 inch faces. The sentiments are all stamped from the NEW Fruit Sentiment One and I put them on a simple banner. To finish each card, I added a button with a twine bow. 

I hope you all liked my quick card set and have a wonderful day!

Peachy Keen 3D Challenge





Hello everyone! Today a new challenge starts at Peachy Keen! This challenge is 3D Objects: Bears and Bears and Bears Oh My. Create a 3D object and it must include a bear on it.  

I created this candy box for my project. This is actually a really simple project! 
I bought the gable box a couple of years ago from Walmart during Valentines Day, but you could easily use your Cricut/SVG file to create your own. The bear is paper pieced using the PK-159 Thinking Of You Bear and I added a twine bow. I also did some inking on it and used my white gel pen for accents. The top ribbon banner was created using my Cuttlebug stamp die and ribbon slider square. The "LOVE" sentiment is from the January 2013 SOTM kit and I did a black stitching line around it. To finish I added a bow at the top and some yummy candy inside. 
I hope you all will play along and please don't forget to check out the rest of the DT's projects! Have a great day!

A Kiss...







Hello everyone! I have a fun card to share with you today! I love creating Valentine's and this one was so fun to create! I used My Craft Spot's Always And Forever sentiment stamps on this card. This is such a great set with the best sentiments!
I cut the dog from Create A Critter and stamped the face with a Peachy Keen stamp. The letters in his mouth, kiss, and tuft of hair were stamped using Peachy Keen's January SOTM kit. I heat embossed the lips to give it some shine and added the hair. I also used an Xacto knife to cut around his mouth to be able to slip the letters under his teeth. I cut 2 of the base pieces for him and then cut off his head and mounted it to the base with an action wobble.
The scallop heart was cut from Sweethearts and I inked the edges of the inside mat. To finish I added some Strawberry Cupcake Trendy Twine and stamped that adorable sentiment from My Craft Spot's Always And Forever stamp set.

Here is a short video of the Action Wobble in action

I hope you all enjoyed seeing my card and thanks for stopping in! Have a great day!

You Make Me Happy



I put him on an action wobble!



Hello everyone! It's time for a new challenge at My Craft Spot. This time the challenge is "Anything Goes" Anyone can play, but you have to use My Craft Spot stamps to be eligible to win the prize.
I decided I wanted to change things up a bit from Winter themed projects and instead used my FAV bee from Create A Critter. 
I cut the bee from CAC and stamped her face using a Peachy Keen Wide Eyed Kids face. I did lots of pen work on her with both black and white pens and mounted her on an action wobble. 
To create the tag I used My Craft Spot's Tiny Tag Dies and stamped the sentiment using Tiny Tags Stamps. I added some Black twine and mounted it to a Sky Blue crinkle ribbon bow. 
To finish, I added a black stitching line around the entire card. 
I hope you all will play along and please don't forget to check out what the rest of the DT has created! Have a great day!

Peas And Carrots




Hello everyone! I wanted to share the card I did with the NEW stamps that are being released sometime  today at Peachy Keen. This is a mini release and has A TON of SUPER FUN SENTIMENTS! They were designed to go with the Faceless Fruit and Vegetable stamp sets....or any Cricut/SVG fruit and veggie cuts!

I cut the carrot and peas from B Is For Boy and stamped the faces. I used The Cornies for the peas and a face from the Sandwich Fun stamp set for the carrot. I also stamped the background using a carrot from the Bunny Dolls Stamp set and a copic marker for the green dots. 
I stamped the sentiments using the NEW PK-163 Veggie Sentiments ONE. The sentiments is these sets are so much fun! Here is the set that I used:

Sweetheart Valentine



Hello everyone and happy Saturday! I don't know about you, but as a paper crafter, I LOVE making Valentine's projects! So this is my first of probably many to come! LOL!

I started this card with stamping the Peachy Keen  XO background and heat embossed it in white. The Cherub is also from Peachy Keen and I colored her with Copics. I added some white pen work to her and some stickles to the cloud. The heart was cut from George and Basic Shapes and I did a white stitching line around it. I stamped the sentiments from My Craft Spot's Always And Forever stamp set and heat embossed these as well. This set is amazing and perfect for creating awesome Valentine's projects! Check it out!

I hope you all have a great weekend and thanks for stopping in!
