You Make Life Sweet -My Craft Spot DT Project

Yep, that's right blogger friends, you do make my life sweet! Thank you for following me and leaving wonderful comments from time to time.
It's time for another challenge over at My Craft Spot
This weeks challenge
Flowers
use at least one flower on your project

 For my card I pulled out (for the first time) the Flower Shoppe Cricut cartridge... I LOVED making these rolled flowers, the are so easy and pretty!
I love this sentiment from the Sweet Sentiments #2 stamp set, the ribbon color is Buttercup both available at My Craft Spot
The shape that I stamped on is the Die-namic Bracket Tab die from My Favorite Things
My rolled flowers were cut at three different sizes, the blue cut at 4", pink 3 1/2", yellow 3".  Depending on how much you let the flowers un-roll or loosen gives a different size for each, I let go of my flowers before gluing them so they are quite loose, and I do like how they look.  The leaves were cut at 1 1/2" and 1" sizes.
Added some fun zig-zag stitching using my sewing machine.

Friendship Warm the Heart

I love how this pink snowflake shaped card turned out. It was I cut it at 5 1/4" from the Joys of the Season Cricut cartridge.  
My bow is made using Kimberly's White crinkle ribbon and Posy bakers twine, added a snowflake cut using Martha Stewart's snowflake punch along with a recollections pearl.
The hanging tag was cut out using the fun Tiny Doily Dies and stamped with the Stampin' Around Christmas stamp set. All available from My Craft Spot -HERE.

Wedding Gift Decorative Blocks

Hello everyone, I'm thrilled to share another project with you here on my blog and it's also being featured at My Craft Spot.
I'm sharing this quick and easy project that I made in between cleaning the house, being taxi mom, and then curling my daughter and another gal's hair; they were two of the bridesmaids for the wedding that I made this gift for.

Since I already had the wood cut this was super easy to make, I just needed to paint the wood then cut out the letters in vinyl using my Cricut machine.

On my Gypsy I used George and Basic Shapes cricut cartridge to make the sizes of the wood blocks so I would know the size that I needed to make each letter.
I welded the letters using my gypsy for Mr & Mrs using the Quarter notes cartridge. The last name was from the Winter Woodland (omitting the inside lines of each letter).
These flowers and leaves are from I am Roses. I love their mulberry flowers.
I tied up the block with cream organza ribbon then added the prefect tag, with a sentiment from Kimberly's "Happily Ever After" stamp set I love the saying! I tied the tag on using black twine. Both the stamp set and twine are available from My Craft Spot -HERE.
I'm really pleased how this turned out, what a fun home decor items to the new couple!
Thanks so much for visiting!
