On the Road Happy Birthday -My Craft Spot Project

Hello everyone, I'm sharing a quick and easy card with you, this is being featured over at My Craft Spot today.

I used the Sweet Sentiments #1 Stamp Set and the Tiny Banners and Toppers metal dies, both are available at in the My Craft Spot shop -HERE.

I was not able to be with my husband this year for his birthday so wanted to send him a fun travel type B-day card, and this is what I've come up with...

The birthday sentiment from the Sweet Sentiments #1 stamp set, the road signs are cut using the Tiny Banners and Toppers metal dies, then I used a pen to make stitching marks on each sign, the narrow poles are hand cut using brown cardstock.

 This car shape is so fun! I cut it using my Sillhouette Cameo, the image is from Paper Piecing by Nikki, the image can be found -HERE. Window was cut using vellum cardstock, I sponged a light blue ink around the edges.
The pattern paper I used is from Farm House Paper Company "Fair Skies" 6x6 pad.
For the road I used a strip of burlap.

 Side view of my card, I added foam tape to pop my car up from the card.

 This is the inside of my card, I had cut the banner, and again the sentiment is from the Sweet Sentiment #1 stamp set.

Thanks so much for visiting my blog today, have a wonderfully creative day!

Sew Fun -My Craft Spot Challenge Project

Hello friends,

It's Monday, a fabulous day for another challenge at My Craft Spot!

This weeks challenge:

Sew Fun

Hand or machine stitch on your project

Since I love sewing on my projects I just couldn't wait to create this card. I've had this card idea in my mind since I designed the Stampin' Around Summer stamp set, the other stamp set I used is Chunky Alphabet, as well as the Tiny Doilies and the Small Alphabet metal dies.

This fun flower shape is cut using my Silhouette Cameo the image if from Miss Kate Cuttables called "flowers set of 4" it can be found -HERE.

 This is my fun idea for a personalized wedding card... use the Stampin' Around Summer stamp set for the "Mr. Mrs." and then and a personalized monogram letter (of the married couples last name) from the Chunky Alphabet stamp set . Love it!
I used the Tiny Doily metal dies that coordinate perfectly with all the Stampin' Around stamp sets.
I tied a double bow using the Spring Moss crinkle ribbon.
Ribbon, stamps and dies are all available at My Craft Spot in the shop -HERE.
I used the Martha Stewart border punch Daisy,along the bottom edge of the white cardstock, the green cardstock has been embossed using the Cindy Loo leaves Cuttlebug embossing folder.

 The butterflies are from the Small Alphabet metal die set, not only does the die set come with an alphabet, but a few shapes as well. I added Recollection pearls on the butterflies and various place on the card. I also sponged all edges using my Tim Holtz Antique Linen ink (all the inking is done before glueing the card together).

I hope you enjoyed my card, and remember to head over to My Craft Spot to see more "Sew Fun" projects made by My Craft Spot's design team -HERE. We would love you to join us for this weeks challenge!

Christmas in July

Hello everyone, this weeks challenge here at My Craft Spot is "Christmas in July", so to continue with the inspiration I have a lovely Christmas card to share with you, this card is also being posted over at My Craft Spot.

I used the Merry Christmas and the Mistletoe stamp sets, as well as the Small Alphabet metal die.

The tree image is from Miss Kate Cuttables the image can be found -HERE, the oval is a Spellbinder die lacy Ovals.

I love all the glitter and sparkle and card, and the non-tratidional colors. I tend to avoid glitter because of the mess, but oh when I see my finished product I love the look of the glitz and glamor it adds.

For the tree I've used Recollections Tinsel Glitter, the snowflakes each have fine glitter.

The sentiments that I used are from the Merry Christmas stamp set.

I used a woodgrain embossing folder for the tree trunk.

The stars and snowflakes are cut using the Small Alphabet metal dies, I added glitter to all those tiny dies.

The crinkle ribbon is Petal Pink, and the pink Jute twine glued on top my bow.  

Side view of the card.

 The inside sentiment is from the Merry Christmas stamp set and the tiny snowflakes if from the Mistletoe stamp set.

All stamp sets, small alphabet metal dies, crinkle ribbon and jute string that I used on my project can be purchased in the My Craft Spot shop -HERE.
