Birthday Tag -My Craft Spot Project

Hello friends,
Get ready to create for our next challenge at My Craft Spot
This weeks challenge:
Tags
create any type of tag
I love the lacy banner die set and wanted to use them on my tag, so grabbing the fun Chunky Alphabet stamp set was a fun way to get creating.
The tag was cut out using Lacy Labels cricut cartridge cut at 3 1/2" 
 I used Strawberry Cupcake twine to string up my banner, I love the intricate edge of the banner die.
I added a double bow using Winter White crinkle ribbon, then add leaves and a rose from Wild Orchid Crafts.
 I punched a hole in the side to add ribbon several fibers I had on hand, the ribbons and twine are from My Craft Spot, Hot Pink and Caribbean crinkle ribbon and Strawberry Cupcake twine.
Supplies used that are available from My Craft Spot Shop

Stamp Sets: Chunky Alphabet
Crinkle Ribbon: Winter White, Hot Pink and Caribbean
Bakers Twine: Strawberry Cupcake
Metal Dies: Lacy Banners

Thinking of You - My Craft Spot Project

Hello crafty friends I'm excited to share another project with you using Stamps from My Craft Spot.
This weeks challenge at My Craft Spot
Embossing
Heat or Dry Embossing (or Glossy Accents)

I've had the Cricut cartridge Kate's ABCs for quite a while so I thought it was about time I used it. My flower pot is from pg. 67 of the handbook, cut at 4 1/2"
I love to use my cuttlebug embossing folders, they add such a fun texture, the two folders that I used were Argyle and Swiss Dots. I added a bit of inking to the edges of the embossed pot and lightly over the top.
 I added some fun zig-zag stitching using my sewing machine. The border punch is from EK Success Dotted Scallop.  I added dimensional adhesive behind the pot and flowers to give it a bit of a lift off the card.
 I used two of My Craft Spot stamp sets, Friends & Neighbors Inside & Out and Tiny Tags. I used the Tiny Tags Metal Dies for the tag and added the Natural Jute Twine on the little tag.  All of these items are for sale at My Craft Spot -HERE.

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.

Valentines For Kids
My cards are 4"x 4" cards using the Car Decals Cricut cartridge, the doggie and kitty are so cute!
