Guest Designer - Glorajean!
This is Glora from Glora's Crafts and I was SO happy to have been invited to guest design for My Craft Spot today. I have followed Kimberly's blog for a long time and learned lots of awesome crafty tips from her. She sells stamps and dies but she also sells beautiful crinkle ribbon, baker's twine, sequins, etc. in her My Craft Spot Shop. You should definitely check her shop out if you haven't already.
I love cute little critters and punny sentiments and was excited to showcase a couple of creations using her Cute Critters stamp set. Both of these are A2 size cards (4.25" by 5.50"). I wanted them to coordinate so I used some of the same products on both of them. The patterned paper on both is from American Crafts Hip Hip Hooray 6x6 paper pad. I also used my corner rounder for the layered piece on each one of these and my Spellbinders Classic Ovals Die set for the oval background behind each critter.
For my ducky card I used the darling 'You QUACK me up!' sentiment from My Craft Spot's Cute Critters set. The adorable duck is a Peachy Keen CottageCutz set called Duck with Egg 4x4. I used some pretty crinkle ribbon and Valentine Cherry Cupcake twine.
To give my card a finished look I inked the edges, added Glossy Accents to the duck's eyes and chalk to her cheeks. I also used my Fine point Sharpie pen to make some accent dots.
Now for my second card:
Isn't that skunk SO sweet? I think this little cutie would brighten anyone's day. The skunk is another Peachy Keen Cottage Cutz die called Stinky Skunk 4x4. I thought she was perfect to go with this cute sentiment from the Cute Critters stamp set. I stamped the sentiment on the My Craft Spot's Ribbon Banners Wavy Die.
I did more inking, chalking, and added Glossy Accents to her eyes. I also added some Prima Flowers. I added adhesive pearls to the middles and drew some stems and leaves onto them so it could be a little bouquet of flowers. I also added more accent dots with my fine point Sharpie pen.
I hope you enjoyed my cards. Thanks again to Kimberly for having me guest design for her. It was a lot of fun. Kimberly was also super sweet and has offered to let me give a set away to one of my lucky followers. All you need to do is leave a comment on my blog (HERE) letting me know which My Craft Spot stamp set is your favorite.
Have a wonderful day! Hugs- Glora

DT Post by Tanya - Make Today . . . Amazing!
Hello everyone and welcome to My Craft Spot!
This is Tanya from Studio 5380 (formerly known as Nonna's Craft Corner). I've got a bright, happy, fun card to share with you today:
That fun little scooter is an SVG file from Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons and the sun is from the Silhouette Online Store.
I didn't like the center portion of the sun SVG file so I replaced it with a circle cut from the Tiny Doilies Die Set. This circle, of course, was perfect for my sentiment and fit my sunshine nicely! My super fun sentiment is from the Simply Sentiment stamp set. This set is quickly becoming one of my favorites and I consider it a "must have".
For finishing touches, I added a bit of Stickles to the scooter lights and a few black enamel dots. And, that pretty much wraps it up! I hope you will stop by my new blog (Studio 5380) for more photos and info on this fun card. Have a great day and I'll see you soon....

DT Post by Kate - Adorable Tissue Box!
Hello! It's Kate here from Small Bits of Paper. I've been having far too much fun making little tissue boxes lately and have another one to show you today. These little boxes are such a sweet way to share some warm wishes when somebody is down.
To create my little sentiment pennant, I used a Lacy Banners metal die. This fabulous set can be used in so many ways and many of the little My Craft Spot sentiments fit inside too!
The sentiment is from the Feel Better Soon stamp set. This set is perfect for all your get well wishes projects. I then finished things off with some Snow Flurries sequins. For more details on my Feel Better Soon tissue box, please visit Small Bits of Paper.
Have a fabulous day!

DT Post by Sherrie - Adorable Elephant!
Hello Everyone!
This is Sherrie from Sherrie Scraps with Passion to share a birthday card with you using the Big Words metal die.
I started with white card stock for the base of my card followed by panel for the base layer. The base layer is pattern paper from MME Hootenanny collection. I cut a black panel and embossed it with the SU chevron folder and added a little grass border along the bottom using the Fancy Edges metal die.
The adorable elephant is cut at 3 1/2 from the Birthday Bash cartridge plus the layers. The face is stamped with PK Sweet On You stamp set. I cut the heart balloon from the Create A Critter cartridge at 2 1/2 and tied it to the elephant with Black Jute String and tied a bow.
The Happy Birthday is from the new Big Words metal die. Isn't that awesome?
I just LOVE this die!!
The inside of the card is stamped with the Big Sentiments 2 stamp set. I also have a little treat box.....I cut a small belly band to fit it and added a fun edge using a Martha Stewart punch. The doily tag is from the Tiny Doilies metal die I stamped the sentiment with the Stamping All Around Spring stamp set. Finished with tying on some Black Jute String and tied a bow.
Thanks so much for stopping by today!
For more information about this card, visit my blog at Sherrie Scraps with Passion.
