My Craft Spot Challenge #33 -Easel Card

Happy Monday! Monday challenge at My Craft Spot is all about Easel cards.  Honestly, this is the first easel card I have ever made, and they are super fun to make. I will be making more of these little cuties. :)
I started with a 4 1/4 x 8 1/2 piece of cardsock scored at 2"
and 6 3/8".  I attached a 4 1/4 x 4 1/4 square piece to the
front. The snowman is from the Winter Woodland cartridge
cut at 3.65" with the Gypsy. The Cappuccino twine is from
My Craft Spot. Glossy accents on the hat and heart.
*Frosty days quilted Nights* and the*Snowflake*is from the new
stamp set, Winter Wonderland. The paper is from the
Studio Calico pad. I inked the edges with Walnut ink stain.
The face is from the *snow cuties* set by PKS.I hope you all feel inspired to try an easel card. Be sure to check out all the other DT projects and link your project--HERE

Welcome To The Blog Hop

Welcome back to the My Craft Spot Blog Hop. I am so excited to share my project with you. Every year my daughters have Christmas parties with their friends. This year we have the invitations, banner, treat bags, cupcake toppers already done.Everything turned out SO pretty.
My Mom sewed the cute banner I have wanted for so long. I love the bight  festive colors.
I think this is a great bright color pallet for kids. The fabric is from The Quilted Fish.
Here are the invitations I made. The Santa is from the Doodlecharms
cartridge, cut at  1 3/4". The *party, place.date, time stamps are from the
Candy Corn Kisses stamp set by My Craft Spot. The *Ho! HO! HO!* is from the new
*Jingle All The Way* set by My Craft Spot.
I made a decor Santa to go with the theme. I cut the Santa at 4 1/4",
Doodlecharm cartridge to fit a 5x5 frame. He is decorated with buttons.
I was inspired to emboss my Santa from fellow DT member Jayne.
Her little Santa turned out so cute -I just had to try one. :)
I stamped *Believe in Magic* for the cupcake toppers from the new stamp set
*Jingle All The Way*  by My Craft Spot. I added rhinestones for a little
bling :)
What's a party without a treat bag? I used pink sorbet twine and
snow white crinkle ribbon. The little reindeer is from the Doodlecharms
cartridge cut at 2 1/4'. The *Merry Christmas* sentiment is from the new set
"Tis the Season.
A pink rhinestone was the perfect touch.
The fabric banner that started the whole idea and color scheme.
One last look at all of the cuteness.
Now, down to business! Make sure you stop at each blog on the way, and leave a comment for a chance to win one of the new stamp sets. Kimberly has generously donated the new stamp set *Merry Christmas* for my blog.
