Merry Christmas Monday

No, it's not Christmas yet, but it sure felt like it yesterday because I actually got to stamp!  It was a treat to spend a couple hours in my craft room and just stamp...much needed therapy after a couple of crazy weeks!

I finally got to play with the Festive Flower Builder Punch and I love it!  I had to cheat a little with the stamped images...I some how managed to mess up and only ordered the punch instead of the bundle, so I had to improvise and use the retired Build A Bouquet stamp set.  Shhhh....I won't tell if you don't tell ;)

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Crumb Cake, Very Vanilla, Real Red, Old Olive, Gold Glimmer, Home for Christmas DSP

Ink ~ Old Olive, Real Red

Stamp Sets ~ A Little Something, Build a Bouquet (retired)

Other Supplies ~ Square Pillow Box Die, Festive Flower Builder Punch, Stylish Stripes Embossing Folder, Gold Sequin Trim, Pearl Basic Jewels, Note Tag Punch

The Square Pillow Box die is a lot of fun and will make perfect gift card holders this holiday season!  There's even enough room in the box to include a few tasty treats too!

Here's to an awesome week of stamping for all of us!

Happy Stamping!

A Little Something for Mummy

Hello happy stampin' friends!  We're half way through the week and one day closer to the weekend...yippee!!!

My life has been crazy busy lately, but I am sure to make time for at least one stampin' project each day...whether it be early in the morning, or late at night, I always get some stamp therapy in!

The girls over at SSINK are showcasing their favorite Holiday Catalog Bundle and I am sharing with you MY favorite bundle!  I LOVE pillow boxes and am THRILLED that we now have a thinlit die!  A Little Something stamp set bundles up with the Square Pillow Box Thinlits and they make for some adorable creations!

 

With Halloween quickly approaching, I decided to do a fun little mummy pillow box.  It's not Halloween if I don't make something that resembles a mummy!

To make the mummy, I simple tore strips of Very Vanilla card stock, sponged it with Soft Suede ink, then glued the strips to another piece of card stock.  Once the glue had a chance to dry, I used the Pillow Box die to cut the pieces and assembled.  I added the eyes and a fun little sentiment and the box was done!

 

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Very Vanilla, Tangelo Twist, Cucumber Crush, Basic Black, Whisper White

Ink ~ Basic Black, Tangelo Twist, Rich Razzleberry, Cucumber Crush

Stamp Set ~ A Little Something

Other Supplies ~ Square Pillow Box Thinlits, Circle Punches, Into the Woods Cotton Ribbon

 

These boxes are the perfect size for a special little treat to sneak into your kiddos backpack or for a gift card for a friend...so many fun possibilities!

Happy Stamping!
