Twinkles Glow with Stamps

Happy Monday Everyone!! I hope you had a great weekend!! Scott and I are exhausted but we got a lot accomplished on the packing.  Boy what a lot of stuff!!!  LOL!  Moving sure is work!!  Felt good to get a lot done before the girls and I go off to spend some time with my parents upstate for a few days.  I want to share some quality time with them before we go.  I truly am looking forward to it.


Anywho today I would like to share this week's product spotlight at Stamp and Create!!  This week's product spotlight is designer paper!!  All designer paper at Stamp and Create will be up to 25% off beginning today for one week!!




For my sample today I created an Anniversary card for my parents using Fancy Pants Love Story (6x6 pad) and Echo Park Yours Truly (6x6 paper pad).  The adorable image is Henry Hugging Heart from Whiff of Joy which was colored with copics.  The Satin Edge Ruffle lace, White Crochet Lace 2,  Love charm, and May Arts Black Silk ribbon tied with the Bow Easy are all available in the Stamp and Create Store as well.  The image is framed with the Spellbinders Lacey Circles dies.  Silver Baubles, pearls and white pearls were added.




Did you know that Stamp and Create also has weekly candy!! 

Happy Monday All!! I hope you all had a great weekend!!    Mine went well but was extremely busy!!!

Today I am popping in to share this week's Stamp and Create Product Spotlight!!  This week's spotlight is Christmas images.  All Christmas images are up to 25% off!!!!  This sale begins at noon EST today!!!





For todays post I created a Christmas Gift box (lunchbox) using the adorable Betty Mouse with Candy Cane. I colored it with copics. The bow is created with Ivory Silk Ribbon and the bow easy.  The paper is Basic Grey Jovial.  The image is framed with Lacey Circles from Spellbinders.  The background is embossed with Swiss Dots.  The sentiment tag is attached with a snowflake button and cording.  The shape of the tag is created with the Stampin Up tags (small and large).  The borders used are the Daisy Edge punch and Fence punch from Martha Stewart. The lunch box design uses the "Let's Do Lunch" template designed by Lauren Meader for Papertrey Ink.  I added a gold pinecone and silver baubles to my ribbon bow with silver cording.

Happy Hump Day!!  I can't believe we are halfway through the week already.  Where does the time go?

Today I am posting a card using the new WOJ sketch designed by Karina for the Whiff of Joy challenge.
I have missed joining the team for this challenge and am happy to be able play this week since time allowed and I also found some of my WOJ in packed boxes after searching for an angel stamp for last week's Stampin Sisters in Christ "Angel" challenge last week.  Funny I found an angel charm in time for the challenge but not a stamp until on Monday.  So I just had to use one of WOJ beautiful Angel stamps today!!!

Anywho, here is my card using Praying Angel (WOJ) and Karina's sketch:


The designer paper is Christmas K and Co. I found at Michaels.  The Ribbon is from May Arts and it is silk taupe ribbon.  The flourish is a Cheery Lynn Fanciful Flourish.  The image is framed with a Blossom Tag Accents from Spellbinders which I embossed in gold embossing powder.  The tag is created with Spellbinders Banner Labels.  I stitched the panels with gold metallic thread.  The lace is from a RAK from one of my dear friends. The image is colored with copics.  The shape of the card is created with the Spellbinders Grand Labels die. The edges have been distressed with embossed gold. The sentiment is computer generated.

Here is a copy of the sketch:

Happy Monday All!! I hope you all had a fabulous weekend!!  It is hard to believe a new week has begun.  Where does the time go.  Weekends especially seem to fly by.  Before you know it, it will be Christmas!!!

Today's project is one that I made in preparation for the holidays....a gift for a friend.  I have been so preoccupied and busy with the move and selling the house, I have not been able to create as much as the past.  It feels good to be able to join my fellow Stamp and Create team this week!!!

Anywho...this project focuses on this week's Product Spotlight at Stamp and Create....THE BOW EASY!!  If you don't have one, you really must invest in one.  Now is the time since they are up to 25% off!!!  I know I should invest in a few more...it is one of my tools that I always seem to misplace...go figure!!  I just love it!! It makes perfect bows every time!!!

Since it is a new month, it is also time for a new challenge.  This months challenge at Stamp and Create is "VINTAGE".  The challenge will go until January 8!!!

The project I created for you today uses the Bow Easy, Ivory Silk Ribbon (May Arts), and
Whiff of Joy Henry Angel Mouse  from the Stamp and Create store.

 The box is created using the Tea Tabbed Box Template created by Lauren Meader available at My Time Made Easy.  The paper is Bo Bunny Snowfall.  It's kind of hard to make a treat box with Henry Angel Mouse vintage so I gave it a somewhat Victorian flair with the bells, lace, and pearls.
