Blog Hop Order:
Ally
Robin (you are here)

I'm thrilled to share my "blog hop" project with you and I couldn't resist grabbing my Ticket and Postage Stamp Sets, along with the coordinating dies that go with each set.
When I designed these two stamp sets I had in mind that both of these sets would work together oh so well! So her is my project using both the Ticket and Postage Stamp set with both coordinating dies.
 Side view of my card, I used foam tape to pop up the postage stamps.
I inked all the edges of my papers using Memento Peanut Brittle ink.
The bicycle die is from Shadow Box.
The crinkle ribbon color I used is Sky Blue, and the twine is Vintage Chocolate. Both are available at My Craft Spot.
I used the tiny Ticket metal dies to cut out the images below. The border and words "Happy Day" are from the Ticket Stamp Set. I used thread and a needle to attach the tiny tickets to the bow.
 The words Live and Laugh are both from the Ticket Stamp Set, the word Love and the accent image is from the Postage Stamp set, I love how these two sets work so well together.
I'm so excited to give one of the metal die set that I designed away, Postage Stamp Metal Die to one fantabulous winner, for your chance to win, follow the steps below......

Day 5 -My Craft Spot Release Party ~Feel Better

Hello all my friends, I hope you have followed along this week for the fabulous Stamp Release Party for My Craft Spot, I know the design team and I have really enjoyed sharing so many inspiring projects with you, and today day 5 as the inspiration continues.
We are showing a sneak peek with you of the new Feel Better Soon stamp set, sometimes we need to have that "great go to" stamp set to help our friends and family feel better, and this is a perfect stamp that will do just that.

Oh this poor bear would make anyone feel better soon right?  I cut this image using my Silhouette it is from My Scrap Chick, the image is called Bear Fever.
Oh poor Teddy Bear!
I used two colors of crinkle ribbon Vanilla Bean, and Milk Chocolate. I folded the Milk Chocolate ribbon in half using my ATG gun to keep it together.  Then added three tiny brads.
 Close up of the sentiment.
The sentiment is actually on two lines, but I wanted to make it read all on one line. Below are photos of how I did it.
Side view, I used mounting tape to pop up the bed and the sentiment.
Thanks for joining me for day 5 of my sneak peek, please join us tomorrow for the My Craft Spot blog hop where the design team will once again inspire you with a project using one of the 5 stamp sets, as well as each design team members (including myself) will be giving away one of the 5 stamp sets or metal dies, generously provided by Kimberly.

Day 4 -My Craft Spot Release Party ~Home Is...

Wow... this week is flying by, here we are at day 4 of the Stamp Release Party for My Craft Spot, and I'm having so much fun with the new stamps and metal dies! Today we are sharing a sneak peek of the new "Stampin' Around Spring" stamp set, you will have so much fun creating cards and project using this set, it coordinates with the Tiny Doilies Metal Dies.
Remember the 5 new stamp sets and two metal dies sets will be available for purchase at My Craft Spot on Saturday.

I love shape cards, so I couldn't resist making another one. This cute house is an image from Miss Kate Cuttables called "house", using my Silhouette Cameo I made the image into a shape card.
Added extra layering on the front of the card, using some red craft foam between the layers. The added another white layer to the inside of my card.

Behind the windows I added a piece of vellum.  For the door I added the vellum and a yellow piece of cardstock to make it look like light is shinning through. :)
I made a bow using Acorn crinkle ribbon and another bow with Ivory jute both from My Craft Spot. The rose is from Wild Orchid Crafts. I made my sentiment look like a wreath hanging below the bow using the Tiny Doily Metal Dies. Below is a photo showing how I made it.
Below shows how I made the wreath.
Another view of the card
For the inside of the card, I stamped the house image which is from this Stampin' Around Spring stamps set, the sentiment is from Friends and Neighbors Inside & Out stamp set, available at My Craft Spot shop -HERE.
