My Craft Spot Stamp Release Party- Day 3!

Happy Wednesday, crafty friends! Welcome to Day 3 of the My Craft Spot stamp release party! All week long we're showcasing sneak peeks of FIVE new stamp sets and FOUR new metal die sets! :o) All of the new goodies will be available for purchase on Saturday!

Today we are featuring the new Banner Sentiments- Fall stamp set! This set is so versatile, as it has sentiments covering every aspect of the season. :o) Not only so, but they perfectly fit Kimberly's range of banner dies.

For my project, I made a sweet treat bag for a special little girl. This is for Lily, this month's recipient of the I Feel the Love Project. She is battling leukemia and it is an honor to shower her with love!

Owls are especially sweet when paired with a fun little pun! The sentiment is from this fabulous new set, which I've cut out with the coordinating Ribbon Banners- Wavy metal dies. I love the ability to manipulate clear stamps to fit wavy dies like these.

See the precious pumpkins? They are from the NEW Fall Wheelbarrow metal die set, which I love! Kimberly never misses a detail, such as the whimsical curlicue vines and optional punkie faces. :o) I'm anxious to use the marvelous wheelbarrow, too.

I combined two cut files from the Silhouette Online Store to make my treat bag. The bag itself is a Pebbles in my Pocket design, although I swapped out the heart with a different one. I opted to cover the scallop top with this adorable Lori Whitlock Owl Valentine treat bag topper. I turned them harvesty and gave them chocolate hearts. ;) My exterior papers are DCWV The Pumpkin Patch, while the interior is from Aunthenique.

I hope it brings a smile to sweet Lily's face. :o)

Hop on over to My Craft Spot to see the incredible variety of projects from the entire team! While there, leave a comment on Kimberly's post for a chance to win today's daily prize: Jute String (10 yards of these 4 colors)! 

(I used the Parrot Green and Purple jute string Monday on my cauldron treat box.) Thank you for fluttering on by! Have a sweet and sparkly day. :o)

My Craft Spot Stamp Release Party- Day 2!

Hello, my sweet friends! I hope you're having a beautiful day! Welcome to Day 2 of the My Craft Spot stamp release party! :o)

Today we are featuring the NEW Fall Leaves stamp set! How I adore the sentiments on this set... so much beauty, in word and font. :o) (All of the new stamps and metal die sets will be available for purchase on Saturday!)

I made an Autumn criss-cross card to showcase a couple of sentiments and a stunning new metal die. :o) It is for the upcoming Thanksgiving recipient of the cherished I Feel the Love Project.

I love the whimsical touches to the fonts in this set. It reminds me of leaves fluttering in the crisp breeze. :o) Many sentiments, like this one on the front of my card, are year-round sentiments. It is important to express and encourage thankfulness all year long and Fall Leaves does it beautifully.

Isn't this border exquisite?! It is the NEW Fall Border metal die and I love it to bits!

I used various distress inks to make my leaves appear to be changing colors and then covered them in Clear Rock Candy crackle paint. These dies are truly beautiful. I love the sweet embossing on the acorns, too. :o) 

The card insert features one of my favorite Fall Leaves sentiments. I bordered it with a stamp from the Build A Birthday set.

My Copic-colored cutie is Apple Blossom by Elisabeth Bell for this card. The pretty trim along the panels are from the Fancy Edges 2 metal die set. The wide Autumn ribbon is from my stash, which I layered with Harvest Wine crinkle ribbon. Machine stitching and a variety of Wild Orchid Crafts flowers complete the front.

I am so grateful to be slowly returning to coloring! I need to take it easy on my still-recovering arm, but it felt amazing to play with my Copics again. Apple Blossom and my sentiments are layered with Spellbinders Gold Labels 4 and the coordinating Labels 4. All of the beautiful papers are from Maja Designs' Walking in the Forest.

Flutter on over to the My Craft Spot blog to see the inspiring creations from the team! While there, leave a comment on Kimberly's post for a chance to win today's daily prize: A $10 Gift Certificate to the My Craft Spot store!

My Craft Spot Stamp Release Party- Day 1!

Welcome to the My Craft Spot Stamp Release party! Each day this week we will be sharing projects to showcase FIVE new stamp sets and FOUR new metal die sets! Kimberly will have a giveaway every day this week, so be sure to leave a comment at My Craft Spot to be eligible for the daily prize. You'll also be treated to an abundance of inspiration from my teamies! The party will conclude with a blog hop celebration on Saturday, where the full release is revealed with prizes at every stop! Kimberly's new goodies will also be available for purchase beginning that day. :o)

This release is all about Fall, from harvest beauty to Halloween fun. Today we are featuring the new Halloween Potions stamp set! (Throughout the week we will also be incorporating the new metal die sets into our projects.)

I made a fun cauldron treat box for my mom, which also includes cuts from TWO of the new metal die sets! My mom already stole this for midnight chocolate emergencies. ;)

My treat box is a cut file from Treasure Box Designs' Treat Box Trio. Both sentiments are from the NEW Halloween Potions stamp set. The drippy cauldron concoction was made with one of the NEW dies in the Fancy Edges- Halloween set. The little bat is from the NEW Halloween Shapes metal die set.

Can you see the crackle? It was hard to photograph. I used Tim Holtz distress crackle paint on the cauldron (Black Soot) and sentiments (Clear Rock Candy). 

I love (and appreciate) how many of Kimberly's sentiments fit into existing metal dies! This one fits perfectly in the Tiny Doilies set. The stamped border is from the Build A Birthday set, which I use often. Her extras are always lovely. I wrapped the box in Parrot Green and Purple jute string. 

Upon discovering that my second sentiment nestled perfectly in the Tiny Tags metal dies, the witch's sparkly pointy shoe begged me to tie it there! :o)

Be sure to zip on over to My Craft Spot to see the marvelous creations from the team! Leave a comment on Kimberly's post for a chance to win today's daily prize: sequins in Perfectly Purple, Toadally Green, and Creamiscle Orange!

I'll see you tomorrow for Day 2... and my long-awaited return to Copics! Thank you for visiting and have a blessed day. :o)

Back to School at My Craft Spot!

Happy Monday, sweet friends! I pray you had a blessed weekend. :o)

It's time for a fun new challenge at My Craft Spot! This week we have a theme challenge: Back to School! I used this opportunity to make a cute little card for next month's I Feel the Love Project recipient. :o)

Several My Craft Spot goodies star in this card. :o) My card base was created with the Scrapping Life- Cards metal dies. Not only is it perfect for Project Life or scrapbooking, but it also makes such a sweet little card base! I used the leaves from Kimberly's new Flowers- Daisy metal dies on my apple, which are embossed with the Victoria Cuttlebug folder.

The sentiment is from Tiny Tags 3, which is cut out and layered with the coordinating Tiny Tags metal dies. The fun red and green notebook paper is from My Mind's Eye. It's from a Christmas collection, but came to mind for this project since it matches the theme and colors. :o)

The fun star border is from the Fancy Edges 2 metal die set. I used some of the negative star cuts for decoration. My sweet cut files are from Little Scraps of Heaven: Cat with Apple and Bear Holding Pencil. I fell in love with this precious kitty!

Tucked inside is a bunch of love. :o) (The interior heart die cut is also from the Scrapping Life- Cards set.)

Be sure to flutter on over to the My Craft Spot blog to see the fun creations from my teamies! I look forward to seeing what you create this week. :o) Have a sparkly day!
