My Craft Spot Stamp Release Party Day 4 - Ghostly Greetings

Hello and welcome to Day 4 of the My Craft Spot Stamp Release Party week!  I'm happy you stopped by today to get a closer look at my sneak peek of the the new Ghostly Greetings stamp set!  This set is another fun Halloween set and to be honest, I can't decide which is my favorite!!  I had so much fun creating this card!  It did take some time but the end result was well worth it!!  Here is my sneak peek for today!

This card took a lot of googly eyes and a lot of different sized glue dots to create!  I started by placing the largest ones and worked down in size.  The smallest two sizes were glued into place using little dots of Tombow momo multi glue.  My daughter's squealed in delight over the finished card!

This is just one of the adorable ghostly sentiments on this set!  Like I said earlier, it is so hard to pick a favorite set from this release!  I stamped it then punched it out and doodled around the edge.  It is popped up over top the Toadally Green My Craft Spot Crinkle Ribbon.

 

Here is a fun look at the dimension on the eyes!

Inside the card is the "Happy Halloween" stamp from this set.

Stop by My Craft Spot for your chance to win another great prize today and for some more amazing Halloween inspiration from the talented Kimberly as well as the My Craft Spot Design Team!!  We can not wait for you to see the big reveal on Saturday!  Thanks for stopping by today and please stop back again tomorrow for our last day of sneek peaks! 

My Craft Spot Stamp Release Party Day 3 - Best Witches to You

Hello Everyone!  Welcome to Day 3 of our week long Stamp Release Party at My Craft Spot!  We are half way through the week and what do you think so far?  Have you been inspired and are you excited for the big reveal on Saturday?  Well, today we are sneak peeking the another new Halloween set called Best Witches to You and what an super fun set this is to have in your collection! 

This ghost from Paper Dolls Dress up is one of my all time favorites!  I think I use it in some manner every year!  This card is a simple black and white with lots of layers and doodling! 

This cute little sentiment is layered on and accented with a Midnight Black Crinkle Ribbon accent and Black Twinery Twine bow!

I used my Gypsy to weld two ghosts together to form the base then I popped each layer with dimensionals.

This adorable inside sentiment is a combination of two stamps from the new Best Witches to You!  I love it!

I hope this insires some fun Halloween cards for you!  All the new sets will be revealed and available for purchase on Saturday but make sure to check out all the beautiful projects today using Best Witches to You at My Craft Spot! Thanks for stopping by today and please stop back again tomorrow for another sneak peek!

My Craft Spot Stamp Release Party Day 2 - Spooky Treats

Good morning everyone!  Day 2 of the week long Stamp Release Party at My Craft Spot!  Today we are sneak peeking another great stamp set!  This set is called Spooky Treats and what a SPOOKY set it is!  We LOVE Halloween at our house!  It is one of those holidays that we have so much fun being creative with fun decorations and special treats for our family and friends!  I used the fun Spooky Treats stamp set to create this years Halloween party invitations!  Here is my sneak peek for today!

I made a simple pocket on the invites by zig zag sewing around the edges and slide in a little ghost with our party info into them!  I finished them off with a strip of Smokey Black Crinkle Ribbon!

The little ghosts are cut from the Simply Charmed Cricut Cartridge, outlined in black pen and stamoed with a little Peachy Keen Face.  I love the font on the new Spooky Treats stamp set!  I stamped the ghost with "Stop by for a Spell" and the "Oct 31st" I stamp on a curve!  The "Time:" and "Place:" stamps are from last years My Craft Spot Halloween set Candy Corn Kisses. 

The "Happy Halloween" is also from Spooky Treats which I stamped, cut out using my oval spellbinders and outlined with a black pen.  My 5 year old said the ziggy lines make it look like it is wiggling...hehe!

 

All the pattern papers are from Making Memories Spooky Alley 8x8 pad.

I hope you enjoyed my sneak peek of the new Spooky Treats stamp set!  There are more amazing sneak peeks from Kimberly and the Design Team over at My Craft Spot and a chance to win a fun prize!  All the new sets will be revealed and available for purchase on Saturday along with our fun Blog Hop!  Thanks for stopping by today and please stop back again tomorrow!

Birthday Sundaes #32 - Color Challenge

Goodmorning Everyone!  Another Sunday here and we have another fun birthday card challenge for you at Birthday Sundaes!  This week the Design Team have cooked up some super cool Birthday Cards using only the colors purple/green/black/white (and a few neutrals as needed)!  Here is my Color Challenge Birthday Card for your inspiration!

The image is Spooky Birthday from TiddlyInks.  I colored her up then added crystal effects to her dress and hat. 

The super cute sentiment is from My Craft Spot as are the black/purple bakers twine and the deep purple crinkle ribbon. I added some colored google eyes to the bow to give it a spooky effect and liquid pearls to the borders on the card.  

The inside is stamp with the second half of this Inside & Out Sentiment set from My Craft Spot and the "Happy Boo-day" is MPS.

I hope you like it!  Please join us this Sunday at Birthday Sundaes for our  purple/green/black/white Birthday Card Color Challege!  Thanks for stopping by today!

My Craft Spot Challenge #30 - 3D Halloween

Hello Everyone!  It is another beautiful fall day here and Halloween is right around the corner!  I love making all kinds of spooky goodies for my girls and my friends!  Can you guess where I am going with this?  This week at My Craft Spot we have another fun Monday Challenge...3D Halloween!  We want to see your 3D Halloween projects and treat packages!  Here is what I made for your inspiration!

It is cold/flu season so I have been giving everyone little hand santitizers from Bath & Body Works for Halloween!  This little box is a special gift for a special friend! 

The little ghost is made in the same manner as the pumpkins I made for the Fall/Halloween blog hop last month.  The idea for a 3D ghost came from Holly at Ribbon's & Glue.  I cut 6 ghosts from Paper Dolls Dress-Up, folded 5 of them and adhere them together onto the 6th ghost.  My daughter wanted a girl ghost so I had to add a bow made with this delicious Orange Licorice Bakers Twine (available at My Craft Spot)!

I used Candy Corn Kisses for the tag and several Halloween colors of Crinkle Ribbon for the bow. 

Please join us this week at My Craft Spot for our 3D Halloween challenge!  If you haven't seen them, make sure you check out the amazing projects from the My Craft Spot DT and have you met the new talented Design Team members yet?  If not, you can HERE!  Thanks for stopping by today!

My Craft Spot #28 Too Cute to Spook

Hello Everyone!  Can you believe it is October already!  I LOVE working on Halloween projects so much that I start in the summer!  It helps me to accomplish everything in time to start with my Christmas projects which is right around the corner!  Well, if you love working on Halloween projects, we have the challenge for you this week at My Craft Spot!!   This week our challenge is Too Cute to Spook and we want to see some cute Halloween projects....EEK!  I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with!  Here is my inspiration for you!

I am a little behind on my scrapbooking (like so many other scrapbookers...hehe)!  These pics are from 2009 and my girls wanted to be witchy-witches for Halloween!  They were seriously obsessed with Wizard of Oz and the Wicked Witch so that is what I made them for their costumes!   

 I knew when I saw the "Too Cute to Spook" stamp from My Craft Spot's Candy Corn Kisses stamp set that I wanted to use it with these pictures!  I also added some Black Diamond Crinkle Ribbon which looks so nice with the little bit of shimmer from the glitter!

This little banner was originally part of my side step card from the My Craft Spot Stamp Release Party!  It didn't hang nicely, so this is where it ended up and I was thrilled with it!  I used these fantastic colored googlie eyes from Michaels and some of the delicious Orange Licorice Bakers Twine available at My Craft Spot! 

My fellow My Craft Spot Design Teammates have come up with some wonderful inspiration for you too!  Please join us this week for our Too Cute to Spook challenge!  Also, if you enjoy playing along make sure you check out the Design Team Call going on right now!  Kimberly is looking for 4 new DT memebers for the next term!  You can see more details HERE!   Thank you for stopping by today!

Fall & Halloween Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to your last stop on the Fall/Halloween Blog Hop featuring the Thankful Thursday Design Team!   Hopefully you just came from the super talented Gaby at Gaby Creates.  If not, please head on over to see our hop hostess Jenny at Crazy About Cricut so you can start from the beginning! 

My 3 E's and I have been working on our goody bags for Halloween so that is what I have to share with you today!  I was so proud of my Oldest E when she said she wanted to give all her Kindergarten friends hand santitizers rather than candy this year.  I think her little goody bags make a nice, useful gift for the season!

She of course chose Hello Kitty as the focus of her goody bags!  The "Too Cute to Spook!" and Candied Orange Crinkle Ribbon are both from My Craft Spot.  I found these black paper bags at ACMoore on clearance last year!  I couldn't make bags for as cheap as I bought them!   

Next are the cards Oldest E made to go with her Gift Bags!  Aren't they simple and cute?  She loves this spider stamp!  She used it on her Valentines this year too!

The stamp set and little envelopes are both retired Stampin' Up! items.  The pumpkins are the girls favorite item to make and are super easy! 

Start with 8 circles of your desired size (we used our 1 3/4" paper punch), 4 slivers of green and a strip of brown for the stem. 

Fold the circles in half and adhere together.  Roll up the brown and the greens.

 Once the circles are adhered together slide the stem and vines down the center.

Like I said, my daughters love to make these! 

My last goody bag to share is one that I have been waiting all year to make.  I saw these adorable Halloween tags last year on Tammy Skinners Creative Critterz Blog and I couldn't wait to make them this year!  I bought a dozen of these little black buckets after Halloween last year with the intention to use them with these adorable tags this year!  Middle E was excited about them and chose to fill her goody buckets with her favorite candy corn.  I think they turned out pretty cute!

I hope you enjoyed my Halloween Goodies today and I hope you enjoyed the hop!  Jenny has a fabulous prize available at Crazy About Cricut!  The grand prize for this hop is the beautiful Celebrate With Flourish cartridge.
