Fairies & Angels at Deep Ocean Challenge!

Happy Tuesday, my treasured friends! I hope you're having a lovely week. :o)

It's time for a fun new challenge at Deep Ocean Challenge and this time it's all about Fairies and Angels. I opted for a Christmas card with my favorite angel paper. :o) I was very short on time and my lingering arm issue has been painful, but I'm grateful I was able to make a little something yesterday. ♥︎
My background papers are from Pion Design's Silent Night collection, which I combined with some of my favorite trims and pearls from Live & Love Crafts. The sentiment is from My Craft Spot's Christmas Chalkboard (no longer produced) and the pretty snowflake is a Magnolia die.
The pretty poinsettia is a Cheery Lynn Designs die, which has been sprinkled with Shabby White Frantage and centered with Frosted Berries. My fancy 'snow drift' was made with the Marianne Design Fancy Edge die, which is covered in Glamour Dust (crystal and gold). The Memory Box Frosted Spruce Tree is accented with Polar White Flower Soft. My base was made with Spellbinders Romantic Rectangles, using Pion's Palette Grey 1.

Be sure to check out the inspiration from my sweet and talented teamies. ♥︎ Thank you for fluttering on by! Have a beautiful day. :o)

Bags and Boxes at My Craft Spot!

Hello, sweet friends! I apologize for being unable to visit the last few days. My mom had to be hospitalized and after some horrendously scary moments, I'm happy to say she is doing better. I'll be around soon to visit you. ♥

Today begins a fun new challenge at My Craft Spot with the theme of bags and boxes! It's especially lovely giving treats and small presents in homemade gift packaging. I look forward to seeing your creations!

I made a happy little gift bag for a kiddo, along with a coordinating card. My card was playing reindeer games on me, rolling a bit for the group shot. ;)
My box was made with one of Kimberly's marvelous SVG files. This Curvy Box file comes with 3 different window options, or you can cut it solid.
The window is backed with pretty vellum, chosen as it reminds me of snowing love! :o) The festive sentiment is from the Christmas Chalkboard stamp set, which I heat-embossed in wintry blue.
The whimsical (and beautiful!) tree-shaped sentiment is from Merry & Bright, which I stamped in Cottage Ivy and Rich Cocoa Memento inks. It is stamped within a tree cut file from the Silhouette Online Store. My tag is tucked beneath Sky Blue crinkle ribbon and sweet jingly bells.
My card features one of the many fabulous sentiments from Tiny Tags Christmas, which is cut out with the coordinating Tiny Tags metal dies. How I adore this precious stamp set. :o) I attempted some masking to incorporate Lady Bug Red, but then didn't position it perfectly after... sigh!
For my Rudolph, I used the Floppy Reindeer cut file from Little Scraps of Heaven. The Christmas tree is from Spellbinders' Fanciful Holiday, which is accented in Recollections red rhinestones. My snowdrift was made with Marianne Design's Fancy Edge with Lattice and my papers are from Doodlebugs Frosty Friends collection.

Be sure to visit My Craft Spot to see some of my teamies' sweet creations! You have two weeks for this challenge, so I hope you'll play along! :o) Thank you for visiting! Have a blessed day!

My Craft Spot Stamp Release Blog Hop!

Happy Saturday, sweet and sparkly friends! Welcome to the My Craft Spot Blog Hop, where we're celebrating Kimberly's Winter/Christmas release! All of the new stamps are now available for purchase HERE! All of the new SVG files are available at her SVG store HERE! Each stop on the hop is giving away a gift certificate to Kimberly's store to put toward the purchase of your choice! Yay! :o)

I'm your last stop on this celebratory blog hop! You should have arrived here from the amazingly talented Deb of Craftin' Chaos. If you just stumbled upon my blog, flutter on over to Kimberly at My Craft Spot to start from the beginning! You won't want to miss a single stop. :o)

As I've often stated, Christmas is my favorite everything. There's no season my sappy heart loves  more. :o) Kimberly's fabulous release whisked me away to all things warm and fuzzy, so I made a sliding recipe box filled with sweet recipes that my family and I enjoy throughout the Christmas season.
To create my sliding recipe box, I followed THIS tutorial from the fabulous Tara. There will be more of these in my future, that is for certain! (Recipes, encouragement notes, etc! So many options.) For the spine detailing, I used my crop-a-dile and Kimberly's lovely Snow White crinkle ribbon, along with a sparkly snowflake charm.
For my cover, I chose one of my favorite sentiments from this new release, which is from the O Holy Night stamp set. The peace and joy of the holiday season is unlike any other and this gorgeous greeting inspired my project. I opted for a wintry theme in terms of design because precious baking memories begin long before Christmas Day... Christmas in the heart lasts so much longer! My dangling snowflake was made with dies from the Flowers- Daisy set and centered with a tiny rose. I seem to have a thing for this lately! :o)
My recipe box opens up to a vintage winter wonderland, with deliciously sweet memories tucked between Christmas Chalkboard sentiments. The Maja Design-Vintage Frost papers were chosen to warm my mom's heart. :o) Surrounding the recipe list are flourishing snowflakes from the Ornate Labels- Christmas stamp set, along with pretty singular flakes from the Christmas Chalkboard set. (I always love Kimberly's little extras! They're beautiful.)

Note: Just an FYI that I did catch my typo after the fact... I know my pals would kindly tell me so I know to fix it! Thankfully it is easily fixable, but not in time for this hop. Don't you love spotting mistakes after the pictures?!
The recipes slide out like so with the corresponding numbers as guidance. (The numbers are more visible in person.) I altered the tutorial a bit to include a pocket border on the interior edge of the cards, since many of my recipes are more than one card. This way I can nestle them in the lacy pockets when necessary.
Kimberly's chalkboard sentiments are so beautiful, which I've heat-embossed in snowy white. One reason I chose this project was because it enabled me to easily use multiple sentiments. I adore this entire release and had such a hard time narrowing down what to use. :o) I chose the snowy greeting to pair with these darling little girls and puppy...
... and this heavenly one for these sweet kiddos. The frames for both are from the NEW Chalkboard Frames SVG files created to coordinate with this stamp set. The corners are from Joy! Crafts Frame and 3 Corners die set.
The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts, of which I used a combination of Vintage roses, Pink Mist roses, white roses, Lilies, and sweetheart blossoms. Cheery Lynn Designs' Mini Fanciful Flourishes scroll within and I added a sprinkling of pearls. The resin pieces are from Prima (my first!).

You can't have a blog hop without BLOG CANDY, right?! Kimberly is generously supplying each of us with a $10 Gift Certificate to the My Craft Spot Shop to give away! To be eligible to win mine, simply leave me a comment on this post. :o) (I will select and announce the winner on Monday morning!)

My Craft Spot Stamp Release Party- Christmas Chalkboard

Hello, my sweet friends! Happy Thursday and welcome to Day 4 of the My Craft Spot stamp release party! :o)

Today we are featuring the NEW Christmas Chalkboard stamp set! I love this chalkboard style and the sentiments are spectacular! :o) (All of the new stamps and SVG files will be available for purchase on Saturday!)

This card was created for an upcoming I Feel the Love Project Christmas collection, where we will be delivering Christmas cheer to children (and their parents) who are spending the holiday in the hospital.
I designed this to suit both the child and parent, with touches of elegance combined with the magic of Santa. The lovely sentiment inspired me to create a happy scene for them to look at, filled with the joys of the season.
Isn't the sentiment gorgeous? I heat-embossed it in white for a snowy impact. The fancy frame is one of Kimberly's NEW SVG files! She created a set to coordinate with these Chalkboard sentiments in varying styles... naturally I chose the Chalkboard Frame- Flourish option! I accented the pretty flourishes with pearls.
I used several Cheery Lynn Designs dies to create my sentiment-inspired scene: Winter Neighborhood, Poinsettia Strip, and the Horizon Square Boutique Stacker Frames (for my base). My papers are from Bo Bunny's Silver and Gold collection. The poinsettias are trimmed in gold Glamour Dust and the neighborhood is dusted in Polar White Flower Soft.
Jingle on over to the My Craft Spot blog to be inspired by my talented teamies! While there, leave a comment on Kimberly's post for a chance to win a $10 Gift Certificate to the My Craft Spot store!
 Thank you for visiting and I wish you a sparkly day! :o)
