DT Post by Gwen - Hugs & Kisses Tea Cup

Hi everyone, this is Gwen from This and That by Gwen with a quick and easy Valentine project for you.

I really love the papers for Valentine's Day, they are just so fun and pretty and PINK!!  This cute little tea cup is from the Silhouette Store, it is by LW.  The pretty white ribbon is Snow White Crinkle Ribbon from My Craft Spot tied in a double bow. 

The sentiment is from the Banner Sentiment stamp set and cut out with the Ribbon Banners - Straight Metal Dies, also from My Craft Spot.

Have a great day!

DT Post by Sherrie - "Be Mine"

Hi Everyone!

This is Sherrie from Sherrie Scraps with Passion and I have a quick Valentine card to share with you using My Craft Spot's Build a Valentine stamp set.

Another awesome set for your Valentine cards, layouts and/or treats.

I started with cutting a pink panel and adhered it to the white card base. I embossed the red layer with the honeycomb folder for some texture. I added a little heart border using a Martha Stewart punch and then another border using My Craft Spot's Fancy Edges metal die.

The heart was cut at 2 1/4 from the Sweethearts cartridge and another one cut at 1 1/4 with Kraft paper. I embossed the red heart with the script folder and the smaller heart ran it through the crimper for fun texture. I also cut smaller hearts at 3/4", crimped them and layered them on the banners.

The little tag is from the Tickets metal die and stamped with the Build a Valentine stamp set. I tied on a Trendy Twine strawberry cupcake bow and added a small pearl to the center.

The banners are cut using the Lacy Banners metal die. I embellished the banner by adding little hearts, pearls and a prima flower and then tied on with strawberry cupcake twine.

I hope you enjoyed my card today! If you would like to see about this card, please visit my blog at Sherrie Scraps with Passion.

Thanks for stopping,
Sherrie

DT Post by Heather - Stenciling Technique!

Good morning! Heather here from Houses Built of Cards to share a fun card I made with some of my favorite My Craft Spot goodies, and some of the stenciling techniques I have been learning in the Online Stencil Class I have been taking:

I am so in LOVE with the beautiful sentiments in the Big Sentiment stamp set. For this card I embossed the word "Celebrate" in gold on vellum to overlay my stencil/embossed panel.

I also used some Natural Jute Twine:

And some gold sequins from the Metallic blend.

If you want to learn more about this card, you can read more about the stencil technique I used over on my blog. 

Sorry for the pictures on this one! I really struggled to get a true to life picture of the color - who knew that shade of green would be so difficult to photograph? 

Thanks for stopping by! Have a wonderful day!

DT Post by Ally - Get Whale Soon!

Hello! Ally here from Rock Paper Cricut. One of my favorite tools to play with are the new Fancy Edges metal dies set. I do love them all, but for today's card I used the scalloped edge metal die--turned upside down it looks likes water waves. 

Look at all of those awesome waves. :) The waves were cut with the Fancy Edges metal dies set. *Get Whale Soon!* is from the Tiny Tags 3 stamp set. Of course I had to add some Caribbean sequins to finish my card.

The tag was cut with the Tiny Tags metal dies set. I tied my tag on with some Berry Red bakers twine.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great week! ~Ally

DT Post by Tanya - Cute Storage Box for Cards!

Hello everyone and welcome to My Craft Spot!

This is Tanya from Nonna's Craft Corner and I'm happy to be sharing a fun project with you today.  I have been painting and re-organizing my craft room for the last few days - whew - what a mess!  I have never really organized my completed cards, just finish one up and toss it into a box with all the others.  So, I thought that maybe it was time to come up with an organized (and pretty) way to store my cards.  Here's what I came up with....

I started with this cute storage box from Lori Whitlock.  After cutting out and assembling my box, I pulled out a few My Craft Spot goodies and had some fun!

Using some bright, colorful, tiny prints I created this darling banner using the Tiny Banners & Toppers Die Set.  I added some clear gems to the topper portion of each banner for a bit of sparkle!

My sentiment mat is from the Silhouette Online Store.  I used the Big Sentiments Stamp Set to designate this storage box for birthday cards.  I just love the pretty font on this beautiful stamp set!

I really love the way this turned out and plan on creating additional boxes for other cards as well....Baby, Get Well, Thinking of You and the list goes on and on!

Before I go, I just want to thank you for joining us here today at My Craft Spot.  I hope you enjoyed my cute little card holder and I look forward to sharing another project with you very soon!

Have a wonderful day,

Tanya / Nonna

DT Post by Sherrie - Birthday Hearts!

Hi Everyone! 

This is Sherrie from Sherrie Scraps with Passion to share a birthday card that I made using the Banner Sentiments stamp set.

When creating my card, I also kept in mind our fun sketch challenge going on this week for more inspiration. There is still time for you to come join in. We'd love to see what you create :)

Here is the sketch:

Here is my DT project!

I cut a white and black panel, rounded the corners and adhered it to the card base. At the bottom of the panel I layered a cute border using the Fancy Edges metal die. I cut the hearts from the Heart Border metal dies and layered the smaller hearts with foam tape for dimension.

I stamped a cute PK face on the center heart using the PK Sweet On You Face Asst stamp set. I added glossy accents and a white gel pen for the eyes for a fun look.

The tag is from the Ribbon Banners~Straight metal die and I stamped the sentiment with the Banners Sentiment stamp set. I inked around the edges with Memento tuxedo black ink and added a little gem that was in my stash. I tied a bow with natural Jute String and then a second bow with some gingham ribbon I got from Michael's.

DT Post by Kate - Lacy Card Set!

Welcome to My Craft Spot!  I'm Kate from Small Bits of Paper and I'm thrilled to be sharing a quick (but pretty!) project with you today.  I used a free multipurpose cut file created by Pam at Get Silvered for the beautiful backdrop of my card and rounded things off with some fantastic products available at the My Craft Spot Shop! 

My cards are all 4.25x4.25.  I kept them this size in order to fit them in standard envelopes for mailing.  After letting Pam's file and my Silhouette do all the work for the pretty background, I used My Craft Spot's Tiny Doilies metal dies for the centres.  

The sentiment is from Stamping All Around Spring (the first set) - as is the sweet little floral bouquet stamped in the middle of each.  I finished things off with some fabulous Bittersweet jute string.  I'm so pleased with how quick and easy these cards came together - and with such a pretty look!

Thanks so much for visiting today!  Have a wonderful day! 

DT Post by Ally - Vintage Valentine!

Hi everyone, it's Ally from Rock Paper Cricut. I am so excited to to be able to share a card I made using the new Heart Border metal dies set. This new set has a total of 9 different metal dies, and coordinates with stamps from the Jar Full Of Spring stamp set.

I stamped the *Be my Valentine* from the new Banner Sentiments stamp set. Under the sentiment I used a *flourish* stamp from the Tickets stamp set. For the *postage* I used the Postage Stamps stamp set. Cupid is from the Sweethearts Cricut cartridge, found on page 33. 

Here is a picture of the beautiful border from the new Heart Border metal dies set. I love how it fits perfectly on my A2 sized card. 

Thanks for joining me today at My Craft Spot. ~Ally
