Wedding Cards

Hello! This week's challenge at My Craft Spot is *Wedding*. On my last trip to Joann's I found the prettiest paper pack from DCWV called Coral Couture. Several of the papers have touches of gold foil and glitter--perfect for wedding cards. 

These wedding cards are so pretty and easy to make. I fussy cut a 5"X5" square from the part of the background paper that included the bird. I like a bigger size for wedding cards, although I think you'll have to pay more for postage. I used the Tiny Doilies 2 metal dies set to create my tag. I heat embossed *Best Wishes* from the Happily Ever After stamp set by My Craft Spot. 

 *So happy for you!* is another sentiment from the Happily Ever After stamp set.

The pearls look so pretty under the beautiful tag.

 I made a bow using Vanilla Bean crinkle ribbon. Here is a good picture of the gold foiled bird-so pretty!

I LOVE using the metal dies when creating cards. I created the beautiful trim along the bottom strip of paper with the Fancy Edges metal dies set. My Craft Spot Shop has a wonderful selection of metal dies. I can easily create beautiful cards just using My Craft Spot stamp and metal die sets.

I hope you'll get a chance to join in the fun with this week's challenge over at My Craft Spot blog.

Graduation Card

Hello! Today is my day to share some inspiration over at My Craft Spot Blog. My Craft Spot products made it easy for me to create a graduation card for my friend's son, Spencer, who will be graduating from High School this June.

I cut the *Congrats* from the Big Words metal dies set. The silver foiled cardstock I used for the *Congrats*, looks awesome! It was easy to personalize my card with jute that matched the school colors. Did you know My Craft Spot Shop carries 17 different colors of jute?! 

I stamped *Start each day with the Thought that something Wonderful is about to Happen* is from the Chalkboard Sentiments stamp set. Such a great message!

This week's challenge at My Craft Spot is *Congrats & Grads* and you still have time to participate. :)

My Craft Spot-Washi Tape Metal Dies

Hello! Welcome back to day 2 of My Craft Spot's Mini Release Party. Today we are sharing ideas of projects made with the new Washi Tape metal dies set. There are 3 different sized metal dies of washi strips that come with this set. The set is NOW available for purchase at My Craft Spot Shop.

For my first project I made a quick spring card. The yellow paper was cut with the Washi Tape metal dies. I love the look of this fun card. The washi strips are a great size for most of My Craft Spot's stamp sentiments. The bicycle is from the Spring Showers Cricut cartridge.

For my next project, I made a milk carton treat holder for Teacher Appreciation Day coming up next week. I cut a strip of notebook paper with the Washi Tape metal dies for the sentiment. *For all you do* is from the Thank You set. I added a tag made with the Tiny Doilies metal dies set. *Thank you Teacher* was stamped with the Stamping All Around Fall stamp set. Of course I had to add a paper flower made with the Rolled Flowers metal die set.

My Craft Spot Mini Release

Welcome to day one of the My Craft Spot Mini Release. Today we are sharing ideas made using the new Rolled Flowers metal dies set. The new Rolled Flowers metal dies set is now available for purchase at My Craft Spot Shop. I'm so excited Robin designed a set of metal dies to make rolled flowers-I've wanted one for awhile. :) I also love the fact that the rolled flowers come as set of two different sized flowers.

I made the beautiful flowers for this sweet baby card using the new Rolled Flowers metal dies set. The metal dies cut through the felt like butter. The flowers are just the perfect size. *SUGAR & SPICE and everything nice* is a sentiment from the New Arrival stamp set by My Craft Spot. The bow was made with some Vanilla Bean crinkle ribbon. Did you notice the pretty scalloped trim? I used the Fancy Edges metal dies two cut out the scalloped strip.

Black & White Plus One Color

Hello! I hope everyone had a great weekend! My weekend was busy, but fun. I just saw the weather report for Woodinville, WA, and the weather looks AMAZING for this upcoming week. I'll be busy getting ready for Teacher Appreciation, when I'm not out working in the yard. Since today is Monday, there is a new challenge over at My Craft Spot's blog. The challenge this week is 

*black & white plus one color*. 

Here is my card:

I went with the popular chalkboard look for the black & white. *Happiness is not a Destination It's a way of Life* is from the Chalkboard Sentiments stamp set. I added a couple of flowers from the Small Alphabet metal dies set. The shaped card was a SVG file from SVG CUTTING FILES.

I hope you will join in the fun this week at My Craft Spot. I look forward to seeing all of your awesome creations. :)

Happy Birthday!

Hello! Today is my day to share over at My Craft Spot's blog. I'm sharing a couple of fun birthday card ideas. I LOVE the shaker card trend going on, and decided to give it a try using My Craft Spot stamps and metal dies.

I used the Scrapping Life Cards metal dies set for the rounded corner layer. I've had lots of fun creating cards with My Craft Spot's metal dies sets. The polaroid die is also from the Scrapping Life Cards metal dies set. I added a pinch of Tickled Pink, Caribbean, and Lemon Meringue sequins. The *Happy Birthday* sentiment is from the 

Simply Sentiments stamp set.

I changed things up with this birthday card, and went for an orange hot pink color combination. I used Tickled Pink and Orange Creamsicle sequins. I finished my card with a little twine bow.  I followed a tutorial by Nikki from Scrappin' Navy Wife's blog-HERE on how to actually go about putting the shaker card together. Both cards are A2 sized cards.

Have you tried shaker cards? I'm hooked! 

Have a great day!
