Reverse Confetti Fall-idays - Christmas

Good morning! This week the Reverse Confetti is doing a fun little event called Fall-idays, to help get you in the mood and inspired for your holiday crafting! Each day is a different holiday, and today we are focusing on Christmas projects!



Once again, I went with some cute little treat packaging - I think these would be adorable to have at every place setting for Christmas, and filled with a little sweet treat!

I used the adorable new Vintage Ornaments Stamps and coordinating Dies, and stamped them with two of the lovely new ink colors, Brick and RC Aqua, and the top of the ornament was cut out of Stone cardstock.

I used tiny Glassine bags, and filled them with some Chocolate Covered Espresso Beans - also from Trader Joe's, then folded the top down, punched a couple holes, and threaded through some jute twine to tie them closed. Added the tiny paper clip, punched a hole in the top of the ornaments, and then attached the ornaments with foam adhesive so they stayed exactly where I wanted them to be. Added a few gold sequins, a couple of wood veneer stars, and a couple of mini clothespins at the top to finish off.

Here are the Reverse Confetti products I used on this card - click on the picture if you want to learn more about any of these items!

Lil' Inker Designs April Release Day 3

Hello! Welcome back for the third and final day of sneak peeks for the new release at Lil' Inker Designs - I hope you have enjoyed hopping along with us all as we got to share all the fun projects we have been making with these goodies!

To start with today, I made a super simple watercolor card:

I used a wonderful new die - perfect for a focal point on a card:

Boxed Up Birthday Greeting Die

I used some Heidi Swapp Color Shine and the smooshing technique (again!) to create my watercolor background - then, even though it is hard to see in the photos, added some splashes of the same thing in peach. LOVE how vibrant and pretty that color is! I twisted some gold thread around the watercolor panel, then attached the die cut over the top using tiny pieces of foam adhesive for a bit of dimension. Attached it at a slightly jaunty angle on some peach MFT cardstock, then added several sizes of gold Pretty Pink Posh sequins.

Next up - there is a fun new die, made to perfectly match some adorable little glassine envelopes - perfect size for a little gift card to attach to a small gift!

Here is the new die and matching envelopes, as well as the stamp set I used to decorate the inside:

Petal Card Die

Glassine Mini Envelopes

Party Pachyderms

I die cut the petal card out of double sided cardstock - that way both the inside and outside are pretty! I die cut a square using Dual Stitched Square Dies out of kraft cardstock, then stamped that darling elephant on it in white pigment ink. Added the "celebrate" in yellow die ink over the top, and added a few coordinating sequins.

I also attached that center square on an action wobble! You can see a little in this next photo how it kind of helps it pop out a little when it is opened! I really wanted it to jump out really hard, but at least it moves a bit! :)

Here is the entire Blog Hop line-up - make sure and check out what the rest of the Design Team has been busily creating to share today! And don't forget to leave a comment to win one of three $15 gift certificates that Laura is giving away to celebrate the new release!

MCS Mini Release - Day 1 - Rolled Flowers

Good morning! The design team at My Craft Spot is excited this morning to be sharing sneak peeks for day 1 of a 2 day mini release! There are two fun new metal dies - both of which are available now in the My Craft Spot Store. There is also a giveaway! 

Today we are playing with Rolled Flower dies:

Here is what I made with them:

I decided to make a fun gift bag! I cut the flowers with some handmade paper from a DCWV paper pad - the soft paper rolled up so easily in these flowers! I rolled them up and added a tiny pearl to the centers of them. 

I also cut a tiny vellum doily using Tiny Doilies 2 Metal Dies and tucked that behind the flowers. I used a glassine bag that I got a while back from Michael's - it has gold chevrons on it! So hard to see in the pictures, but it is a lovely soft gold pattern. I adhered that to my gift bag, then added the doily, flowers, and a bow using some Sage Jute String.

Next, I took a tag I cut with my Silhouette Cameo, and stamped a birthday greeting using Chalkboard Sentiments Stamp Set. I heat embossed it with gold embossing powder to coordinate. 

Finished off with a bit of Spring Moss Crinkle ribbon on the top of my tag!

Here is the other die set we will be sharing projects with tomorrow:

And today's giveaway - Kimberly will pick a comment from one of our blogs to win a $15 Gift Certificate to My Craft Spot:

There will also be one winner drawn each day from orders placed - so if you have a little shopping to do, this is a great opportunity!

Thanks for stopping by today! Hope to see you again tomorrow to share my projects with the fun new Washi Tape Dies!

N&T New Release - Santa's Tags

Good morning! It's Day 2 of the new release peeks at Neat and Tangled!



Today we played with a set called Santa's Tags - Here is what I made:

The bag is a larger size glassine treat bag that I picked up a while ago at Michael's. I thought it would be fun to embellish as a fun little bag to tuck a little treat in for someone. I stamped the tag, sentiment, and fun touches on PTI Rustic White cardstock using MFT inks, then fussy cut it out.

Wrapped some May Arts yellow mesh type ribbon around the bag, then adhered a doily on top of it in the front.

Added some satin ribbon and baker's twine to the tag, then attached it with foam adhesive.

Super quick and simple! Thanks for stopping by today! Make sure and head over to Neat and Tangled to see all the other Design Team samples, and to check out the info on today's giveaway! Have a great day!!!

MCS Fall Release - Day 4

Good morning! I'm back again sharing another sneak peek for the Fall release at My Craft Spot with a fun project, that for once isn't a card! Here is what I made:

I started off by using the new Ornate Labels Metal Die set, and using a folded piece of cardstock, with the top of the die slightly above the fold, so it would fit over the bags easily. I might be using this idea again to make place cards! They were the perfect size for that as well!

I pulled out some cute little glassine bags that I picked up last spring at Michaels, and made my own "Smore" mix with bunny graham crackers, mini marshmallows, and mini chocolate chips.

I stamped the sentiment from the new set Bon Appétit stamp set - there are SOOOO many fun sentiments on this set! I used coordinating colors of MFT ink to stamp them - here is a close up of each one:

I finished off by tying them off with coordinating Baker's Twine - Lemon Divine Twine, Green Apple Divine Twine, and Caribbean Twinery Twine.
