#ACJWM March Stamp Release!!

Hey!

Thanks for stopping by my blog today! I'm excited to share all the new & exciting things going on over at A Creative Journey with Melissa! I'm on the Creative Crew & would like to share my creations with you today. I had the pleasure of working with TWO of the new stamp sets that are being released today... and let me tell you, I really LOVE them both!!

I used the NEW Spring and Summer Holiday Celebrations Stamp Set for these cards... I hope you enjoy them! This stamp set is so versatile, you can use it in many ways! I especially love making cards... I hope these will inspire you to create too! Mother's Day is right around the corner!

I used one of my new favorite dies to create this card. You can find it here: Sizzix Bigz Die Mug Spoon. I also used one of my favorite lines of paper from Authentique.

You can find it here: Authentique Paper Crush.

I loved using Prima Marketing Inc Butterfly Collection to create this card. The colors and images are so pretty! Definitely not my usual color palette choice, but I'm very happy with the results!

I also love making home decor & gift items. The next two projects were made for the Spring/Easter season. I had purchased some wooden pieces a while back, and I thought this one would be perfect for my idea. You can find these & others online here: Handmade Wood Shadow Box Supply.

I'm always thinking out of the box when crafting, so I decided to make these little containers to fill with Easter goodies for an event I have coming up. The sentiment goes perfect on my tag! I painted

peat pots then lined them with coffee filters.

Here are the rest of my creations, these were made using the NEW Weather Related Stamp Set. Like I said before, I LOVE making cards. This stamp set has lots of sentiments that can be put together to make some very cute cards!

Now that you've seen all my creations, are you ready to create on your own? How about a GIVEAWAY? How about a FREE stamp set? Yes, I said GIVEAWAY!

Valentine's Day / Card Class / Contest Entry

This is a sneak peek of one of the cards that will be made at my upcoming Valentine's Day Card Class on January 28th, 2012 at Georgia's Quilt Shop from 10:00 - 12:00. If  you are interested in attending, please call 951-845-8009 to sign up. 

This card was also entered into a contest over at Iralamija's Blog. I used 2 images from her collage sheets which can be purchased in her Etsy Shop. I am having a lot of fun creating with these collage sheets! 

Here is a tag I'd also like to share. I made this tag for a recent Valentine Tag Swap that I participated in. The paper & cardstock is from Stampin' Up!! I also used some vintage dictionary paper for the flower that was cut using Tim Holtz Tattered Floral die. Then I used the nesting lace hearts die, which is a new release from Lifestyle Crafts. I embellished the tag with some crepe paper, sequins and a glittered button from my craft stash. I sentiment, "Be Mine" is a stamp from Impression Obsession.
