My Craft Spot Mini Release Day 2: Speech Bubbles!

Happy Friday, my crafty friends! Welcome to Day 2 of the surprise My Craft Spot mini release! :o)

Kimberly was just too excited to wait for the next full release to share TWO of her new metal die sets! Yesterday and today we are showcasing these new goodies! Kimberly is offering an amazing prize each day, with the winners randomly chosen from comments left on the My Craft Spot and Design Team blogs. The more blogs you leave a little love, the more chances you have to win. :o) She is also picking a winner from customer orders! (Prize details below.)

I made a sweet Christmas gift bag to feature the new Speech Bubbles metal dies. :o)
This is my first time making a gift bag! (Why?!) I used this cut file from the Silhouette Online Store, which I love. I anticipate using it many times this upcoming holiday season. (And I love a reason to use eyelets!)
Aren't the new speech bubbles adorable? One fun thing about this mini release is I got to be a little fancy yesterday with the pretty Daisy dies and today I'm playing with my whimsical side! My sentiment is from the Ornate Labels- Christmas stamp set, which I heat-embossed with Stampendous Alexandrite embossing powder. (The pearl-lustre version, of course!)

I used my Crop-a-dile and bronzed eyelets for a nice finish and Vanilla Bean crinkle ribbon to cinch the bag closed.
Once I chose my sentiment, there needed to be a cute critter peeking out of a present. Does the adorable reindeer look familiar? He's the same Treasure Box Designs Bobble Buddy Reindeer I used last week, except I made him a little sprightlier for this occasion! Christmas twine serves as the light strands and I coated each bulb in ultra sparkly glitter glue.

The present cut file is from Treasure Box Designs' Make a Wish set. All of my patterned papers are from Bo Bunny's Silver and Gold collection. The pretty accent on front of the gift is from the coordinating Trinket accents. I used Walnut Stain distress ink on all of my cuts.

Here are both new sets of metal dies! :o)

Kimberly is giving away a $15 gift certificate EACH DAY of this mini release, randomly chosen from comments left on our blogs!
Gift Certificate - $15
Additionally, since these new goodies are available for purchase right now, Kimberly is picking a winner from customer orders for a $20 gift certificate!
Gift Certificate - $20

  3. Cutest reindeer ever! You did an amazing job Karen as you always do! I love the little trinket on the box and the twine with the sparkly bulbs! I have been wanting to do a gift bag also. You have given me the inspiration to give it a try. I feel so new with 3D projects and I tend to shy away from them but I really love how your bag turned out. I may just give it a try!! Thank you for sharing your beautiful and adorable project :) I hope you are feeling better by the way. I'll keep you in my prayers!
