Happy Monday Everyone!! I hope you had a great weekend!!

Today I am popping in again with another new product spotlight at Stamp and Create.  This week's product spotlight is something I treasure and use all of the time for most of my creations: The Bow Easy!!!!  This week it will be available for 25% off!!!

I wanted to create something different than a card this week so I created a gift box using the Darling Daisies stamp set illustrated by Crissy Armstrong for Whimsy Stamps and the Whimsy Summer Letter Seals (designed by Ann Vento of Raindrop Echo Designs) as well as the Tea Tabbed Template from My Time Made Easy.The image is colored with copics and mounted on Spellbinders Classic and Scalloped Circles.  The bow uses May Arts Satin Ivory Reversible Ribbon and the bow easy.  The designer paper is Prima Botanical (another fave!!).

Here are my creations:

I have made a complete set using the "Porch" set release today.  I was inspired by one of the verses and right away though of someone (who Loves tea) who would be encouraged by some verses...
Here is my three piece set including a Tea Tab box, Teapot Inspirational Verse book and a card.  All these creations use the New Release Porch set release at Our Daily Bread Designs and Prima Sparkling Spring Designer Paper.

 This is a Tea Tabbed box which I made using Lauren Meader's Tea Tabbed Box template available at My Time Made Easy.  The border around the box in black with the gold embossing is also from the Porch set and cut our with the exclusive Our Daily Bread Designs Vintage Border die only available at ODBD.


 This picture shows the Tea Tab box with the Teapot Inspirational Verse book I made.  The tea pot shape is made using a tea coaster from my Pfaltzgraff dish set.  The ovals around each set are Spellbinders Petite Ovals cute out with the Grand Caliber.

The bow is tied with the bow easy.  The crocheted flowers are handmade with a ZVA Creative flower in the middle.  The leaves are punched out and scored using the Martha Stewart Leaf Punch.  The butterfly is also made with a Martha Stewart punch.  There are more pages but these are just a sampling of them.




This is my matching card.  The background of the card is embossed with the Vintage Embossing Folder release at ODBD today. Since I ran out of my gorgeous ZVA Creative Flourishes, I had to use some Recollections Flourishes I just found at Michaels.  The verse is from the Porch set and is framed with the Labels 10 die from Spellbinders.  Again the dp is Prima Sparkling Spring.  The card layout uses the sketch or "Case Study" of my dear friend Silke Lewlow from My Life.

Happy Hump Day everyone!! I hope you are all well!!  I am very busy but very relieved!!  My dear friend Crystal encouraged to take my sewing machine apart and look if something was jammed.  Well I did not see anything jammed but I did find out what the problem is....Now I have my sewing machine back!!!!  I feel like I just made $150-$400 just by not having to fix or buy a new sewing machine.  Woo hoo!!

Anywho...Valentine's Day is just around the corner and I thought I would just share a little something that I made to give to a friend for Valentine's Day.



For my creation,   I used the adorable Tea time Fhiona from Your Next Stamp, the sentiment  from Whimsy's Friendship Ticket sentiments, and the Tea Tabbed box template from Lauren Meader available at My Time Made Easy.  I had a fun time creating this!!  The sentiments cut out with the Spellbinders hearts dies are typed on my Computer.  The dp is scraps from my scrap bin...felt good to use up or recycle!! The black scallop is made using my uber handy Grand Caliber machine and the Big Scallops Petite Borderabilities die from Spellbinders.


I hope you enjoyed this creation....
