My Craft Spot *Blog Hop*

Woo Hoo... today is the My Craft Spot Stamp Release Blog Hop. I know I've had a wonderful time sharing projects from all 5 new stamp sets and dies; Lacy Banner Metal Dies, Chunky Alphabet, Stampin' Around Christmas, Joy to the World, Think Snow and Mistletoe. All stamp sets and metal dies are available for purchase today at My Craft Spot.

Today the inspiration continues with more ideas from Kimberly and the design team using the new stamp sets and each design team member will have a stamp set to give away as well... so exciting huh!!!  If you've just hopped here from my talented friend Gwen's Blog -This and That by Gwen then you are in just the right place for the blog hop, if you would like to start at the beginning of the hop start  then please go to My Craft Spot -HERE.
Blog hop order:
Kimberly
Robin (you are here)

My project is a pocket mitten cut from Joys of the Season cricut cartridge pg. 51 cut at 5 /12" tall, I omitted the markings on the mitten using my gypsy, I just realized I should have used the "blackout" feature.... duh ;)
I didn't use my sewing machine to stitch two mittens together, this was done by hand (going around corners especially tight corners like the thumb is very difficult for me with my sewing machine), I poked holds using my poker tool then stitched using a needle and thread (doubled).
My tag is from the new Lacy Banner metal die I stamped using the new Think Snow stamp set and tucked it under the white felt that I used for the cuff. 
The felt snowflake was cut using a cuttlebug die, then added a cherry blossom from I am Roses.
I made a bow using two different colors of crinkle ribbon from My Craft Spot then added a flower from I am Roses and placed a stick pin with a few beads behind the flower.
I'm so excited to give the metal die set that I designed away, Lacy Banner Metal Dies to one fantabulous winner, for your chance to win...
1)  please become a follower of my blog (if you are not already)
2)  please leave a comment here on my blog and let me know which of the 5 new stamp sets are your favorite and why.

Chunky Alphabet, Stampin' Around Christmas, Think Snow, Joy to the World or Mistletoe.
Your next stop along the hop is my wonderful friend Kate -Small Bits of Paper
Thank you for stopping by! 
Have a fabulous time hopping blog friends!

  21. Robin: I love this mitten pocket, and just may have to give it a try. It's so hard to pick a favorite cuz I just adore all of Kimberly's sweet stamp sets, but I would say that I especially love the Stampin' Around Christmas set because it goes so well with the beautiful metal die cut set. I would be SO excited to win and am more than happy to share the news of the hop with others. I added the Release Button to my blog on the first day, and I also became your follower today. If I may ask, I would LOVE to have you stop by and also fo0llow me on my blog if you will - it would be an honor to have you. Thanks again for an AWESOME fun hop and for sharing this gorgeous project!

  28. Hello, I am new to your blog and to blog hopping! I am following your blog now, because you have wonderful ideas here. I think my favorite stamp set is Joy to the World because the fonts are pretty and because of the sayings for Christmas. Christmas to me is all about joy and what Jesus did for us, so I think that is why I like that one the best. Bless you.

  31. Beautiful, all those finishing touches of elegance. It has never occured to me to punch a hole before trying to stitch. I have had my eye on that lacy banner set of dies, perhaps close to drooling over them, so I have enjoyed my stop here very much.

  32. This is absolutely gorgeous. I love the colors and the details are fabulous.

    I love all of the new stamp sets (and your gorgeous dies), but if I had to picka favorite stamp set it would probably by Joy to the World. The sizes are great and are the perfect semtiments for the inside of cards.

  46. Hi Robin - it has been a fun week! Thanks for the hop as well - I am a follwer and it is very difficult to pick one favorite stamp - but I will say THINK SNOW since I like to make snowmen cards and that would work well with those type of cards. I would accept, of course, any stamp set - they are lovely. Have a great week! I enjoyed my week coming by - Gail

  63. Hi Robin, your mitten is just perfect for Christmas. Gorgeous papers, design and detailing. Love it! My fave stamp set of such a wonderful selection is hard to choose but I would go for 'Joy to the World' stamp set and the sentiments therein really do say what Christmas is all about.

  64. Oh Robin, you always create such wonderful projects! You always showcase Kimberly's stamps so beautifully. This mitten is stunning and I had to giggle because I'm making mittens right now, too! Except little kid ones, not fancy like this. Every detail is gorgeous and I especially love the cluster of pretties and the felt snowflake. Such a clever placement of the banner, too. My favorite of this spectacular release is Joy to the World, due to its heartwarming sentiments about the true meaning of Christmas. :o)

    Hugs and blessings!
