SC~Summer~ A Blossom for you- gift box card

3:20 AM | Posted by Chris Olsen, Glowbug | | Edit Post

Happy Monday Everyone!! I hope you had a great weekend!! They go so fast. I did not get nearly as much done as I would have liked since I had a migraine. Oh well....I also was unable to blog etc. as a result. It was a forced break.

Since it is the first Monday in June, it is time for a new challenge at Stamp and Create!!!
This month's challenge is easy peasy. Since most schools are letting out and it is the beginning of summer vacation for most, we are challenging you to a summer creation.

The prize is a $25 Gift Certificate to Stamp and Create.

**You are welcome to use any stamp for our challenges, but please make sure to adhere to the challenge theme and mention our challenge in your post**

There is no product spotlight this week but THERE IS A SALE!!!! That's right, you can get 10% off you entire order by using the discount code "Summer"!! at checkout!

Now...time for my take on the "Summer" challenge!!

I used the darling image A Blossom for You from Belles N Whistles to great card with a treat box attached. The sentiment is computer generated. The gift bag is filled with chocolate covered sunflower seeds.
In addition to using the stamp from the Stamp and Create store, I also used orchid fairytale roses, the bow easy and Kaisercraft "Pearl" Pearls. The other flowers were from Wild Orchids and from Whimsy stamps(pink cherry blossoms and cream cherry blossoms). The dp is from K and Co. Sera Lera.

For more inspiration using Stamp and Create's stamps and products or for more takes on the "Summer Challenge", please visit my dt sisters:
Joy, Lacey, Heidi, Vicky and Jeanette.

challenges I am entering my creation in:
