My Craft Spot Stamp Release Party Day 3 - With Deepest Sympathy

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 new set called With Deepest Sympathy and what an amazing set this is to have in your collection!  I know Sympathy cards are one of the hardest cards to make, not only because of the reason you are sending them, but because it is always soooo hard to find the right words to say.  This set helps make that card easier to make with perfect heartfelt sentiments for those emotional life moments.   Here is my sneak peek today.

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 With Deepest Sympathy at My Craft Spot! I'll post more details about my card at a later time so you have time to enjoy everyones projects right now!  Thanks for stopping by today and please stop back again tomorrow for another sneak peek!

My Craft Spot Monday Challenge #6

Mother's Day is this weekend so of course we are honoring the Mom's in our lives this week at My Craft Spot!  The Monday Challenge this week is We Love You Mom!  It can be a card, a gift or whatever you would like to create to show a Mom that you love her!  Here is my Mother's Day creation!

I cut the watering can from Kate's ABCs and made it into a little gift box.  I used the Gypsy to weld the word Mom into the can.

There are metal wires attached on the inside layer to give the flowers the support they needed to stand.

I cut a second watering can and added a box similar to my Thanks a Melon project.  My Little E's picked out flower seed packets to fill the watering can. 

Here is the close up of the stamp and the details of the watering can.  The stamp is from MCS Sweet Sentiments Set #1.  Click (Here) to shop all of the My Craft Spot Clear Stamps.  The ribbon is Vintage Style Hand Dyed Crinkle Ribbon and is also from MCS.  There are so many gorgeous colors to choose from and you can click (Here) to see them all!

For this card I used Kate's ABCs and My Craft Spot Inside & Out Set #1

What's great about the Inside & Out stamp sets are that they come with a sentiment for the outside and inside of your cards!

You Make Me Smile Card

***Scroll Down for Birthday Sundaes #5***

I couldn't sleep tonight so I thought I would put together a quick card for a few challenges.  Do you remember how happy your first bike made you when you were little?  I do, and that was the inspiration for my card tonight!  My oldest daughter got her first bike for Easter several years ago.  She squealed with excitement so I thought this would be a fitting card for Easter or Springtime!

For this card, I needed to add a border, so I used my sewing machine with the thread pulled out to make a nice, even stitch around the edges.   I am also having so much fun playing with my new stamps and ribbon from My Craft Spot!  I am loving this soft Hand Dyed Crinkle Ribbon!  It ties so easily and nicely! 

Products Used:

• Scrap Pieces of American Crafts CS (leftover from my bunny cards)
• Stampin' Up! Top Note Die
• Kate ABC's Cricut Cartridge
• My Craft Spot Sweet Sentiments #1 Stamp Set
• My Craft Spot Hand Dyed Crinkle Ribbon

Birthday Sundaes Challenge #2

**Sorry Everyone!  This post had an error somewhere in the HTML that was affecting my gadgets.  Now I have my blog a big mess because of it!  I will be reposting it later when I figure out where the error code is!

OK, I think I fixed it!  I figured since I had my entire blog a mess that I would pretty it up a bit!  What do you think?  I have been holding out on doing it because my brother offered to design something for me, but I would have to change over to wordpress.  He is so much better with this kind of stuff but I just figured out blogger.  I am not ready to figure out how to use wordpress.   Enough of this and that.  On to the card.

I cannot believe it is Sunday already.  It means it's time for a new challenge at Birthday Sundaes!  First, I would like to thank everyone who joined us for our first week!  I saw one fabulous card after another!  Great job everyone!  I hope you will join us again this week!  Our challenge for this week is a Spring Birthday Card!  Have you seen the wonderful cards the rest of the Design Team created to inspire you?   Let's hope all these Spring Creations will jump start the season!  Here is my Spring Birthday Card!

Don't you just love this little barefoot girl!  My girls and I can't wait for warmer weather so we can run outside barefoot!

Products Used:

• Stampin' Up! Cardstock and Wintergreen Designer Series Paper (a little Winter mixed with Spring...kind of like our Spring now)
• SU Top Note Die and Oval/Scalloped Punches
• SU Dimensionals and Stampin' Write Markers
• Kate's ABC Cricut Cartridge
• My Creative Time Color Me Happy Stamp Set (somebunny Special)
• SU Teeny Tiny Wishes Stamp Set (happy birthday)
