SheetLoad of Masculine Birthday Cards

Hello all! I am back to share a sheetload of masculine birthday cards that I created last year, but never got around to sharing! They are 5x7 size.

I used the July 2024 SheetLoad of Cards sketch. Patterned papers were from The Paper Studio's Joyfall Gathering paper pad.

The focal point was die cut with Pink Fresh Studio Fancy Label Frames and my Spellbinders Platinum 6 machine. One card was for an uncle who turned 95, and the others were stamped with a sentiment from the My Craft Spot Chalkboard Sentiments stamp set and Scrapbook.com Dark Chocolate ink. I colored the sentiment with Sprectrum Noir markers (GY4, AB2, BO4). Adhesives used include ATG and Bearly Art Precision glue.

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

Trendy Twine ~ Love Kraft Pillow Box

Good morning my crafty friends!  It is my day to post on the Trendy Twine blog.  This is what I made to share with you today.

I started with a Medium Kraft Pillow Box from Annie's Paper Boutique.  I wrapped paper from BoBunny's Love Letters collection around it.  I glued a heart out of Krafty Red Trendy Twine on the patterned paper, then I added flourish die cuts from Spellbinders and roses from a retired My Craft Spot die.

To finish it all off, I wrapped Krafty Red Trendy Twine around the box twice, added a stamped Petite Kraft Tag with Metal Trim and tied a simple twine bow.

Here is what I used from Annie's Paper Boutique:

Traditional Christmas Card

Hello again, I am back as a guest designer for My Craft Spot today!

 This card is all about Christmas!  I love the bright traditional Christmas colors on the designer paper.  The sentiment stamp is from My Craft Spot's new Merry and Bright stamp set.  I love how it looks like a Christmas tree!  The panel of papers behind the sentiment are popped up with thin foam tape.

The Christmas baker's twine, the large tree brad and the enamel dots all finished off the card nicely.

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

Dainty Baby Card

Hello everyone! Today I am a guest designer at My Craft Spot!  I created this dainty baby card since I am going to have a new baby niece to spoil very soon!

 I used the 4 inch doily metal die from My Craft Spot with vellum to create the soft background behind the diaper.

 The stamps on the tag that I used were from the Tiny Tags stamp set, which is one of my all time favorite stamp sets!

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

Let It Snow Box: MSC Day #4

Today is the fourth day of My Craft Spot's Christmas stamp release.  Today we are featuring the Christmas Chalkboard stamp set.  I started with My Craft Spot's new Curvy Box SVG file and embellished it.  

I stamped my Let It Snow sentiment and hand cut the paper around it.  I finished it off by adding glitter to the word snow and the snowflakes.  Then I added a twine bow and jingle bell at the top.

At the base, I cut a snowflake out of glitter paper from a SVG Attic file.  I added three buttons and more twine.

Hot Cocoa: MCS Day #3

Welcome to Day #3 of My Craft Spot's Christmas stamp release!  Thanks for joining me again today.  Today I am sharing what I made with the all-new Tiny Tags Christmas stamp set.  When I saw the Hot Cocoa sentiment I knew right away what I was going to make.  This hot cocoa holder from My Scrap Chick was the perfect match :)

Here is a closer look.  For the tag, I stamped the sentiment then layered that circle with a green one and used a Tiny Doilies 2 die cut as the base.  The finishing touches were the twine bow, jingle bell and Christmas Candy Sequins.  I also added glitter to the white snowflake and along the top of the frosty mug rim.

O Holy Night: MCS Day #2

This is Day #2 of My Craft Spot's Christmas stamp release.  Today all of the DT are using the O Holy Night stamp set.  It is absolutely gorgeous!

The first card that I made is very simple because I wanted to stay with the tranquil feeling of the designer paper.  The paper is from Authentique.  I added glitter to the trees for some extra sparkle!

My second card is one that I really, really love!  The stamp was absolutely perfect!  I used white embossing powder on it and the Nativity cutting file is from the Silhouette Store and was created by Lori Whitlock.  The paper I used on this card is The Paper Studio's Simple Elegance matstack.

Here is a closeup of the beautiful sentiment...

and the Nativity panel.

Coal For Christmas: MCS Day #1

I have been so fortunate to have been selected to be a guest designer for My Craft Spot!  I was asked to participate in their Christmas stamp release, which will be all week long.  This is what I created using their Naughty or Nice stamp set.

 I used My Craft Spot's Tiny Doilies 2 dies for those red doilies.

The coal box is from SVG Attic's Stocking Stuff set.  I cut the top part using glitter paper and the bottom with regular black cardstock.  Here is a look at the card I made to go with the coal box.

 I wrapped twine around the card for an extra touch of texture.  Here is a closeup of the stamp
