Congrats/ Graduation at My Craft Spot!

Hello, my sweet friends! I hope you had a wonderful weekend. :o)

Today starts a new challenge at My Craft Spot and it's a festive one! :o) We're challenging you to create cards and projects for Graduation or any congratulatory occasion! With no graduates in my life this year, I opted to make a wedding card. :o)
(I apologize for the slightly dark photos.. my ivory base was getting lost in the white background otherwise!) Knowing this was going to be simpler in style than usual, I chose pretty patterns and shapes for my layers. I love silhouettes and thought this would be a fun opportunity to use one! The precious bride and groom cut file is from the Silhouette Online Store. To fancier her up a smidgen, I added pearl detailing and used a flower punch to make a small bouquet.

The "Congrats" is from the beautiful MCS Big Words metal dies set. I adore this set and the gorgeous font! I cut it out twice, in pearlescent white and sparkling black, so it would properly stand out amidst the layers.

My pearl-accented card base was created with the Timeless Rectangle set from Spellbinders, to which I've nested a Gold Labels 4 layer inside. The Echo Park papers are from their Be Mine collection. :o) (I had the wrong collection listed this morning... my apologies!)

Be sure to flutter on over to check out the marvelous work from my teamies! I hope you'll join in the fun this week, as I truly love visiting you. :o) Thank you for visiting! Have a sparkly day. :o)

My Craft Spot Stamp Release Party- Day 2!

Hello, my dear friends! Welcome to Day 2 of the My Craft Spot Stamp Release Party! :o)

Today we are featuring the new Scrapping Life- Everyday stamp set and the coordinating Scrapping Life Cards metal dies! These were created by Robin and can be used like the Project Life scrapbooking cards. They are also just the right size for cards, adding to their versatility.

For my project, I created a sparkly box to treasure precious moments. :o) (And incorporated two of the new Big Words metal dies!)
Upon request, the lovely ladies behind the beloved I Feel the Love Project told me about the upcoming March recipient of our mission. I wanted to be able to dedicate something to them during this festive week! I can't yet share the recipient's heartbreaking story, but this was made for her and her mom. I like to think of this box as a sparkling embrace of moments shared.
This new stamp set is filled with sentiments that are not only ideal for scrapbooking and minis, but also for every type of project. There is sweetness, whimsy, and a variety of emotions. I'm eager to use several for regular cards, too! For this box, I chose three of the sentiments to decorate the panels:

"Everyday memories" to encourage the recipients to cherish the memories made in the everyday... not just special occasions.

"Happy little moments" to find the happy in every moment... using them to find beauty in the midst of personal chaos. I paired this with one of the pretty flourishes from the Tiny Tags 2 stamp set.

"Life is an Adventure"... along with a sweet little camera for them to capture it. :o)

The hearts and camera are from the new metal die set, which I adore. I am enamored with the camera! I used Kaisercraft Enchanted Garden paper throughout this box, including the die cuts. If enlarged, you can see I chose script paper for the camera to signify the recording of memories. And I couldn't resist adding some rhinestones to sparklify their adventures. :o)
The top is bursting with glitter. :o) I combined the Happy and You metal word dies with Cameo-cut letters to create my title. (Isn't the font of the dies stunning?!) It could work for a lovey-dovey relationship, but this is for a mom who is so proud of her daughter who tirelessly battles. I added Zva Creative rhinestones flourishes on top of the glittery paper because you can never have too much sparkle. The Wild Orchid Crafts roses are sparklified with a Wink of Stella brush tip glitter marker, which is gorgeous in person.

I hope the sweet mom and brave daughter love this tiny treasure chest of sappy love as much as I do. :o)
