LeMoyne Star Quilt Card

I love the colors of this card, they are so warm and inviting.  The star was cut from the Art Philosophy cartridge and then cut apart to make the diamond shapes.  Every other diamond shape is popped up. 

The tag was made with the Ribbon Banners - Straight metal dies (I just cut the end off of it) and stamped with the new Fall Leaves stamp set, both from My Craft Spot.

My Craft Spot Challenge

Time for another challenge over at My Craft Spot.  The challenge this week is Blast from the Past.  So this cute little chef is from an old post.  I just love her for several reasons, she is just plain cute but also she reminds me of my daughter Lexi with her long black hair.  Lexi also loves to bake so when I made this card I did it with her in mind.

The little chef is from SVG Cutting Files What's Cooking cut file.  The paper is October Afternoon.  The sentiment is from My Craft Spot's Happy Thanksgiving stamp set.

My Craft Spot New Release Day Five!

I am so excited to share this new stamp set with you today because I helped design it!!  This is the first time I have ever done anything like that and it was fun and intimidating!  So I hope you really like this set!!

It is called Batty For You!!

For this first card I used the Batty For You for the sentiment and the Halloween Shapes metal dies for the bat and ghosts.  The fence was made with the new Fancy Edges - Halloween metal die.  All of these are from My Craft Spot.  The sentiment on the front of the card was embossed.  So I have had a few questions about how I did the background on this card well it is top secret!  Not really, it came that way.  It is just printed paper from the spooky time mat stack from DCWV.  Made it so simple to do this fun card.

For this fun little treat box I used the Coffin Bat Treat Box from SVG Cutting Files.   I hand cut the banner and stamped it with the sentiment from the Batty For You stamp set.

Don't forget to join us tomorrow for our Blog Hop!!  There will be lots of fun and cuteness and of course PRIZES!!

My Craft Spot Day Four of the New Stamp Release!

I love the chalkboard look, it looks a little spooky here also!  This card was made with the new Chalkboard Sentiments Fall and the little ghosts and cat were cut with the new Halloween Shapes metal dies, both from My Craft Spot.   I love these, you are going to want them for sure!!

My Craft Spot New Release Day Three!

So for this stamp set, I went a little crazy!  I guess that means I REALLY LOVE it!  I made 3 different projects to share with you using the new stamp set Banner Sentiments - Fall.  Also as a little side note, I helped create some of the sentiments on this stamp set!!

For this sweet little scarecrow I used the Chibi Scarecrow on Post from SVG Cutting Files, love him!!  The pumpkins were cut using the new Fall Wheelbarrow metal dies and stamped with the new Banner Sentiments - Fall from My Craft Spot.

These little bat treat boxes are the Bat Head Treat Box from SVG Cutting Files so quick and easy to make!  The sentiments are stamped with the new Banner Sentiments - Fall from My Craft Spot.  

For the banner on the spooky treats one I cut it with the Ribbon Banners - Straight metal dies.

Okay can I just say I love this box!!  It is the Haunted House Box from SVG Cutting Files and it is just so cute!!  It is super easy to make and you will love it!!  I used a couple of different embossing folders on it for some fun texture and inked it up.  The fun bat fence on the roof is the new Fancy Edges - Halloween metal dies.  The ghosts were cut with the Halloween Shapes metal dies and the sentiment was stamped with the Banner Sentiments - Fall all from My Craft Spot.
