My Craft Spot New Stamp Release-Blog Hop

What a week of inspiration and fun! Today is the big official release, when all of the new stamp sets will be revealed and available for purchase over at My Craft Spot blog. For the blog hop I made a set of *Santa Paws* gift bags:

All of my girls and their cousins love dogs, so *Santa Paws*
seemed like the perfect theme for my gift bags. I bought the
actual craft bags from Michael's and then decorated them with
puppies form the new Create a Critter cartridge.

Of course, no bag is complete without a tag, so
I made some tags using the new stamp sets *Mistletoe* and
*Stampin' around Christmas* by My Craft Spot.

My little Yorkie, *Snickers*, is from the CAC2
cartridge cut at 4.50" The puppies cut with the
pointed ears need to be cut an inch smaller than
the puppies with the floppy ears. 

I tied a bell with some cherry red traditional
bakers twine--it's a little thinner and easier to thread the
bells. All of the faces were created with Peachy Keen
Everyday Character Face Parts 7-9 inches.

*Dottie* is from the CAC2 cartridge cut at 5.50".
the HO HO HO's are cut at 2.25" from the same cartridge.

*Husky* was cut at 4.50". I added a little
blue to the eyes. :) 

*Goldie* was cut at 5.50".

*Jenna* was named after our own Bichon.

I didn't think they could get any cuter until I saw them
wobble. :) Now they wobble and jingle.

Waving *bye bye*.

Kimberly, has so generously offered to give one of you the new *Mistletoe* stamp set just for visiting my blog during the blog hop. Yay! Just leave a comment on this post for a chance to win.
