MCS January Release Hop and Giveaway

Good morning!!! It is finally time for the full reveal and hop for the January Release at My Craft Spot! You should have arrived here from Robin - head over to My Craft Spot to start at the beginning.

This is such a FABULOUS release! I ended up with 3 projects using the new goodies - make sure and leave a comment before you leave, because Kimberly has provided a prize from the new release at each stop along the hop! Click HERE to check out the new store! 

And without further ado - here are my projects:


I started off with a little burlap gift bag - I found these a couple months ago at Michael's, and finally got around to using them! I used some canvas and Staz-on ink to stamp my sentiment from the new Chalkboard Sentiments Stamp Set, then cut a bow with the new Small Bow Metal Die out of cork. I couldn't get the center piece to fold around without breaking, so I wrapped some Ivory Jute twine around to hold it all together. I tucked some goodies inside and mailed it to a friend!


Next up, I had fun with the new Edgers Metal Dies, and Big Sentiments:


I used a leftover negative die-cut from a different project that I cut with my Silhouette Cameo, and attached it with foam adhesive to my cardbase. Stamped my sentiment in the middle, added a border cut with the new Edgers Metal Dies, then added some Orange Creamsicle Sequins. Finished off with a bit of Natural Jute Twine.


I was inspired for this card by the current Runway Inspired Challenge:



And last up, a fun and happy project! I had some goodies that I wanted to mail to another friend, so I put together this fun packaging to wrap it up in:


I used Chalkboard Sentiments again on this one, but with an entirely different look! I stamped with Versamark ink, then sprinkled 4 different colors of Zing embossing powder, then heat embossed. I love the bright rainbow effect! I added some Twinery Baker's Twine in coordinating colors of Lemon Drop, Caribbean, Honeydew, and Maraschino and tied it in a big fluffy bow. My side border was cut with Edgers Metal Dies, and I tucked a little doily in there as well. 


Thanks for sticking with me this long! Here is a quick peak at what you can win here - also the stamp set I used for two of my projects:


Isn't it fun?!?!?!? You're next stop along the way is Ally - and here is the entire blog hop line-up, in case you get lost along the way:
