Colorful Happy Birthday

Happy Monday!! I hope you had a wonderful weekend!! It's my last time posting on the My Craft Spot blog (sniff, sniff) and I have a project with you using some of my very favorite My Craft Spot products :)

It's cold and icy here, so I wanted something colorful that would make me think of spring :) The papers are from The Paper Studio and the flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts. The edges were distressed with a Zutter DIA. The ribbon is MCS Spring Breeze Crinkle Ribbon...it's such a beautiful color. The butterflies are from the Small Alphabet die set, and they were covered in sugar coating.

The banners are Ribbons Banners Straight dies. Tiny Doily Dies were used for the sentiment and each of the three layers were popped up with foam for dimension. 'Happy Birthday' is from Simply Sentiments.

Happy Thursday!! I hope you are having a wonderful week!! It's my turn to post on the My Craft Spot blog and I have a Christmas project with you today using several of my favorite MCS products.

I had so much fun putting this card together :) I won a giveaway from my sweet blog friend Patti of Cherish Each Precious Day for a copy of CardMaker Magazine's Interactive Cards book. There were so many creative folds and I chose this one to try first. The papers are from The Paper Studio. In the center of the card, I used MCS Tiny Doilies dies and popped them up with foam tape for dimension. The butterflies are from the Small Alphabet set. They were covered with sugar coating. The banner is a Ribbon Banners Wavy die. Merry Christmas is from the Naughty or Nice stamp set.

Here comes the fun part...when you pull the tag, hidden sentiments are revealed!! I couldn't even begin to tell you the steps it took to create this card...there were some sketchy times when I wasn't sure it was going to work at all ;)  Vintage Vanilla Crinkle Ribbon and Cherry Red Twine were used for the tag. Celebrate the Season is from Tiny Tags Christmas. May The True Spirit of Christmas sentiment is from Joy Filled Christmas.

I am entering this in the following challenges:

1. DL.Art - December Linky

Thanks so much for stopping by!! Have a great Thursday :)

Christmas Candles

Happy Saturday, everyone!! It's my turn to post on the My Craft Spot Blog and I have a 3D Christmas project to share with you!! Have you entered this week's challenge yet? There is still time to enter your 3D Christmas project for a chance to win a $10 Gift Certificate to shop at the My Craft Spot Shop!!

For this project, I wanted to decorate some candles to use as gifts and to adorn the holiday table :)

 

For this candle, I wrapped red wire ribbon around the base and used a sentiment from O Holy Night. It was stamped on white tissue paper and then I stretched the paper over the candle using wax paper to hold it in place, and heated it with a heat gun until it adhered to the candle and the tissue paper disappeared like magic :) The hanging tag is a Tiny Tag die, and it was used with a sentiment from Tiny Tags Christmas. The star and snowflake are from Small Alphabet and they were covered with Sugar Coating. Gems were adhered in the shape of a Christmas tree. Vintage Vanilla Crinkle Ribbon was tied around the candle to finish it off.

For this candle, a sentiment from Tiny Tags Christmas was stamped on a Tiny Doily die and tied off with raffia ribbon. Papers from The Paper Studio were used, along with white tulle and Washi tape.

This is one of my favorite sentiments...it's from the Christmas Chalkboard set. The letters were colored in with a gold pen.

This sentiment is from O Holy Night. I am entering these in the following challenges:

1. DL.Art Linky Party - Anything Goes
2. Little Scrap Pieces - Show it off Saturday
3. Decorate to Celebrate - Anything Goes

Thanks so much for stopping by!! Have a wonderful weekend :)

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.
