Guest Designer at My Craft Spot - Critter Cards

Happy Friday! I was SO happy to have been invited to guest design for Kimberly at My Craft Spot today. I have followed Kimberly's blog for a long time and learned lots of awesome crafty tips from her. She sells stamps and dies but she also sells beautiful crinkle ribbon, baker's twine, sequins, etc. in her My Craft Spot Shop. You should definitely check her shop out if you haven't already.

I love cute little critters and punny sentiments and was excited to showcase a couple of creations using her Cute Critters stamp set. Both of these are A2 size cards (4.25" by 5.50"). I wanted them to coordinate so I used some of the same products on both of them. The patterned paper on both is from American Crafts Hip Hip Hooray 6x6 paper pad. I also used my corner rounder for the layered piece on each one of these and my Spellbinders Classic Ovals Die set for the oval background behind each critter.

For my ducky card I used the darling 'You QUACK me up!' sentiment from My Craft Spot's Cute Critters set. The adorable duck is a Peachy Keen CottageCutz set called Duck with Egg 4x4. I used some pretty crinkle ribbon and Valentine Cherry Cupcake twine.

To give my card a finished look I inked the edges, added Glossy Accents to the duck's eyes and chalk to her cheeks. I also used my Fine point Sharpie pen to make some accent dots.

Now for my second card:

 Isn't that skunk SO sweet? I think this little cutie would brighten anyone's day. The skunk is another Peachy Keen Cottage Cutz die called Stinky Skunk 4x4. I thought she was perfect to go with this cute sentiment from the Cute Critters stamp set. I stamped the sentiment on the My Craft Spot's Ribbon Banners Wavy Die.

I did more inking, chalking, and added Glossy Accents to her eyes. I also added some Prima Flowers. I added adhesive pearls to the middles and drew some stems and leaves onto them so it could be a little bouquet of flowers. I also added more accent dots with my fine point Sharpie pen.

I hope you enjoyed my cards. Thanks again to Kimberly for having me guest design for her. It was a lot of fun. Kimberly was also super sweet and has offered to let me give a stamp set away to one of my lucky followers. All you need to do is leave a comment here on my blog and let me know which My Craft Spot stamp set is your favorite. You can check out her stamps HERE. 

Have a wonderful day! Hugs- Glora

Princess Valentines

I know these are a little late but I have a few Valentine projects that I didn't get posted before the big day (actually I was making most of these during the little one's nap on Valentine's Day). That has just been life lately. I think these turned out pretty cute and wanted to share them. I have a couple of treat projects that I will be sharing in the next couple of days too.

I used the sketch from the My Craft Spot challenge this week.

This first one was for my oldest girl:

The SVG and patterned paper are both from Lettering Delights. The princess is from the Ice Princess Cut Set using the print and cut feature on the Cameo. Her darling face is from the In the Garden face assortment by Peachy Keen Stamps. The darling sentiment is from More Gift Card Sentiments by My Creative Time and the Ribbon Banners - Wavy die is from My Craft Spot.

Here is the one for my younger daughter:

I used the same format and supplies for this card except that the princess file is from Lettering Delights Happily Ever After Cut It set. My girls loved them. I hope you had a terrific Valentine's Day too. Hugs- Glora

Happy Valentine's Day

Well I know I promised I was going to join more challenges but it has been a CRAZY busy month. I did (thankfully) find a chance to sneak in a quick card last night. I had two challenges in mind with this card. The first is the Pretty Paper Pretty Ribbons LOVE challenge and the second is the My Craft Spot's polka dot pattern challenge.

I made a shape card using my Silhouette Cameo. I used the print and cut feature. The files I used are all by Pretty Paper Pretty Ribbon Graphics. I used the Heart Balloon Cutting File, the Fourth of July Kids Cutting Files for the sweet little girl, and the Pumpkin Spice Circles and Spots digital patterned paper for my polka dot balloon and banner pieces. I used a die by My Craft Spot for the sentiment banner. It is called the Ribbon Banners Wavy die. The sentiment is from My Creative Time's Puffy Hearts Just For You stamp set and the little girl's darling face is from the Sweet and Innocent face stamp assortment by Peachy Keen Stamps.

I hope you enjoyed my little card for today. Hugs- Glora
