DT Post by GiGi - Merry & Bright!

Hello everyone! This is GiGi from The Cricut Bug with a card. I used My Craft Spot's Joy Filled Christmas, Ribbon Banner Dies- Straight, and Mistletoe stamp set on this card. 

I used the Chibi Penguin Digi stamp from Digi My World and colored him with Copic Markers. I embossed the white mat with the Seeing Spots Cuttlebug folder and mounted the penguin on pop dots to the mat.

I used My Craft Spot's Ribbon Banner Dies-Straight to cut out the tag and used a snowflake brad to attach it to the bow. The sentiment was stamped from the Joy Filled Christmas stamp set and I also stamped the inside sentiment using the Mistletoe stamp set. 

These are wonderful stamps for your Christmas cards!

I hope you all like my card and thanks for visiting!

Hello My Craft Spot Fans!

This is Marlene from ScrappinCookie! Thank You for joining me here today at My Craft Spot!

I want to share with you some really QUICK and EASY Paper Sack Treat Holders I put together. These are PERFECT for teachers, friends, neighbors, etc...I actually plan on handing these out to a few teacher's at my kid's school this Christmas.

Oh, and lets not forget they would make a GREAT project to link up to this week's My Craft Spot Monday Challenge #120 Christmas Neighbor Gifts.

I used up some small brown paper sacks I had in my stash - but you can always use the Bitty Bags available at My Craft Spot, I ran out - and embellished them with a scalloped border and patterned paper. I layered half of a doily made with the My Craft Spot 4" Doily Metal Die, a gold leaf pick and poinsettia flower I picked up from the floral department.  I also sprinkled some Metallic Sequins - available HERE at My Craft Spot.

Inside the paper sack, I added a tag cut with my Cricut and stamped with the "Chocolate Fudge" Sentiment from the My Craft Spot "Christmas Friends & Neighbors" Stamp Set. I tied some "Sandy Beach" Crinkle Ribbon and tucked in a small tag made with the My Craft Spot "Jar Basics" Metal Die stamped with the "Merry Christmas" Sentiment from the My Craft Spot "Mistletoe" Stamp Set. The little paper sack is PERFECT for holding a small chocolate bar.

I hope you have enjoyed and have been inspired to create your own "Merry Christmas Paper Sacks" using My Craft Spot Products. Don't forget to link them up to this week's My Craft Spot Monday Challenge #120 Christmas Neighbor Gifts. You have until Monday, December 16th 11:59pm MST for your chance to win this week's prize.

 I love GiGi's chocolate candy holders! Her papers are super cute and I love her bows and tags!

The fun Christmas Fudge poem is from the Christmas Friends & Neighbors stamp set.

Sherrie's fry boxes are so cute!! I love how she added the banners at the top and her treats look yummy!

Marlene's gift package is amazing! I love her cute apron box and the goodies inside look great! Fun idea!

Happy Friday, everyone! This is Karen from Kaleidoscopic Sparkles and I am ecstatic to be guest designing today at My Craft Spot! It is truly an honor and I am so thankful for this unexpected blessing. :o) Thank you for having me, Kimberly!

Inspired by several of Kimberly's goodies, I combined the true meaning of Christmas with the beautiful whimsy of the season. For this special occasion, I created a Shadow Box Book Card for a dear friend. (For the structure, I followed a fantastic tutorial by Delightfully Crazy.)

For the spine of my 'book,' I heat-embossed one of the snowy flourishes from My Craft Spot's Ornate Labels- Christmas. That same stamp set graces my cover, where I heat-embossed the golden label outline and cut it out with the coordinating Ornate Labels metal dies. The sweet holly flourish is centered with garnet rhinestones and I couldn't resist using the holly jolly sentiment. :o)

Inside, heavenly joy encourages a Christmas dance!

The gorgeous sentiment is from MCS's Joy To The World stamp set, surrounded in pearly snow and golden elegance.

For the shadow box part of my book card, I designed a scene from my heart. The glorious Christmas star has turned the wintry landscape golden and inspires a ballet dance of pure love. The ballerina's tutu is made of white lace and accented with festive red and green rhinestones. This project was a joy to create. :o)

For further details about my shadow box book card (and a few more photos), pirouette on over to my sparkly blog! An opportunity to win a MCS stamp set of your choice (donated by sweet Kimberly) is also on my blog. :o) Thank you for visiting and I wish you a beautiful day!

Hello My Craft Spot Followers!

Thank You for joining me here at My Craft Spot today! This is Marlene from ScrappinCookie.

Today I have some Christmas Tags to share with you all using products from My Craft Spot. I put these "Merry Christmas Tag Pockets" together for the My Craft Spot's Monday Challenge #118 - Skech Challenge, but never got around to sharing them until now. When I saw the sketch provided for the challenge, I immediately saw it as a Brown Bag Sack instead of a card. I simply folded a brown bag in half to create a double pocket.

I added some pattern paper to the front and inside of one pocket fold. I embellished it with the My Craft Spot "Snowflake Border" Metal Die and some Maraschino Twine - available HERE at My Craft Spot. I also added a Fishtail Banner made with the My Craft Spot "Ribbon Banners - Straight" Metal Dies - I used the small tag banner and snipped off the circle opening - stamped with the "No Peeking" Sentiment from the My Craft Spot "Ornate Labels - Christmas" Stamp Set.

The tag was cut with my Cricut Expression Machine and layered with the My Craft Spot 4" Doily Metal Die. Underneath the Holiday characters, I tucked in the longer Fishtail Banner from the My Craft Spot "Ribbon Banners - Straight" Metal Dies stamped with the "Merry Christmas" Sentiment from the My Craft Spot "Christmas Banner Sentiments" Stamp Set.

To each tag, I tied some checkered grosgrain ribbon and "Scarlet Red" Crinkle Ribbon from My Craft Spot layered with Ivory Jute String - available at My Craft Spot - a button and a jingle bell.

I hope to have inspired you to create your own Christmas Tags using My Craft Spot Products.

And don't forget to join in on this week's My Craft Spot's Monday Challenge #120 - SPARKLE & SHINE. You have until Monday, December 9th 11:59pm MST for your chance to win this week's prize.
