3rd Prize - $10.00 Gift Certificate

I used all four of the new stamp sets. The first card I am showing you (above) I used Stampalicious Scarlette. I absolutely love this stamp set, and know I will be using this one alot.

Next - I used DIY Gus - this set comes with the single `Gus`image and several fun sentiment. This one makes me laugh - and the guys will love him... makes for great masculine cards. I made the Tool Belt Box - I got the instructions and template from Mel Stampz Blog. I though DIY Gus would make a great little gift tag to go along with the box.

Next I have used one of the Turtle images - this set comes with two super cute turtle images and two sentiments. They are very easy to colour, and make for some very adorable cards or tags.



And the last one I am showing you is `Stupid Cupid`. Stella sure does look like a cranky Old Cupid. This set will make some very humours Valentines Day cards... I know some people that would get a real laugh receiving one of these VDay cards... `



Well that`s it for me - So now you need to hop on over to Becky`s blog Stampin`For Fun and see what wonderful eye candy she has in store for you....

House Mouse Gift Tags

Hello Peeps.... I made 4 sets of eight House Mouse tags to give to some girlfriends tonight. These girlfriends and I have known each other for about 45 years - we played on the same fastball team since we were 8 - 9 years old (I played ball for 35 years and some of the girls are still playing) and have kept in touch all these years. We meet every couple of months for dinner and to get caught up on each others lives. Tonight we are having a dinner and gift exchange - we were to make our gift or to purchase something that was handmade and under $10.00. I thought a set of gift tags would be perfect for the gift exchange -- hope the girls like them.

Thanks for looking,

Wrap It Up - Stampalicious Style

It's time for another Totally Stampalicious Blog challenge. It's Christmas time and that means (for most of us crafters anyways) that we are scrambling to get those last-minute hand-made gifts done. So now is your chance. Today we have been asked to "Wrap it Up"- to make a gift box, bag topper, gift basket - what ever you are putting a gift in.

Here is my take on the challenge. I wrapped up a tin of yummy English Toffee Cappuchinno hot beverage drink mix. The image and sentiment are from the "Attitude Ruby" set - a newly released stamp set in the Totally Stampalicious Bugaboo Line.


I stamped the image using Versafine onyx black ink and clear embossed. Water coloured image with Tombow Markers. Made it into a tag. Punched out the flowers using a Sizzex flower die, embossed the flowers with Swiss Dot EF. Stamped the sentiment and punched it out. Glued it to the flower center.

I hope you will join us over at the TS Blog. Check out what the other talented DT members have come up with to inspire you. If you do join us, make sure to leave us a link to your blog or gallery on Mr. Linky....

Thanks for stopping in,
Happy stamping and creating,

Casing LynniePoo

Just sharing another card I made last week. I made this for Splitcoast Stampers

CAS challenge to use gingham or checks and the featured stamper challenge FS194 - Lynette (aka LynniePoo). I cased her "Candy Cane Snowglobe" card.

The image I used is from Clear Dollar Stamps - from the Everyday Jar-gon Set.

I stamped the image on Kraft card stock using Versafine onyx black ink. Coloured image with Prisma colour pencil crayons and gamsol. Cut out image, one plain white oval and two red (front and back of tag) scalloped ovals with the Cuttlebug and Nestabilities. Sponged edges of Kraft oval using chocolate chip ink. Made the gingham and raffia bow and adhered to card. This is small enough to be a gift tag.
