My Craft Spot Challenge #157 - Sequins

Happy Monday!! I hope you had a wonderful weekend!! It's time for a new challenge at My Craft Spot!! This week, the challenge is to use sequins...how fun!! I just love using sequins on projects :)

For this card, the patterned paper is from The Paper Studio. The white paper is heavy weight cardstock from TPS, embossed with a Cuttlebug embossing folder. The holes were cut with My Craft Spot Tiny Doily Dies, which were also used to frame the holes.

All three sentiments are from MCS's Tiny Tags Christmas stamp set. The holes were filled with MCS Snow Flurries sequins, a touch of glitter and a bit of silver glass beads.

Snowflakes were cut from the MCS Small Alphabet set and covered with Sugar Coating. They were adhered randomly, along with more Snow Flurries sequins. The ribbon is MCS Scarlet Red Crinkle Ribbon.

I am entering this in the following challenges:

1. DL.Art - November Linky

My Craft Spot Stamp Release Blog Hop!!

Happy Saturday!! Welcome to the My Craft Spot Blog Hop, celebrating Kimberly's new release!! All of the new stamps and SVG files are now available for purchase HERE!! Each stop on this hop is also giving away a $10 gift certificate to My Craft Spot!!

You should have arrived here from Gwen of This and That!! If you've just stumbled upon my blog, head on over to My Craft Spot to start at the beginning...you won't want to miss a single stop :)

I absolutely love every stamp set in this new release. I wanted to showcase as many of the fabulous sentiments as possible, so I decided to make an advent calendar to count down the days until Christmas :) One of my favorite decorations to put up at Christmastime when I was young was the Advent Calendar. My sister and I fought over who got to open the little door each day...meaning another day closer to Christmas :) Warning - this is picture-heavy!!

All of the papers for the tags are from old My Mind's Eye Christmas stacks. The Peace banner was created with My Craft Spot's Tiny Banners & Toppers. The letters for Peace and Advent Calendar are from MCS's Small Alphabet dies. The banners are MCS Ribbon Banners Straight dies. They were cut in double sided adhesive and then after the letters were adhered, I applied Sugar Coating over the rest of the adhesive for a beautiful sparkle :)

The flowers are Spellbinders Poinsettia dies and the swirls are from Cheery Lynn. MCS Tiny Tags dies were used for the sentiment from the new Tiny Tags Christmas stamp set. The snowflake is from MCS's Small Alphabet dies and the crinkle ribbon is MCS Snow White Crinkle Ribbon.

Since there are so many tags, I'm not going to go into detail on all that was used except for the stamps. The tag on the left is from Christmas Chalkboard Sentiments and the sequins are MCS Snow Flurries Sequins. The tag on the right is from Merry & Bright. The gorgeous Twine is also from MCS.
