Project Tuesday & Special Announcement

Happy Tuesday everyone and thanks for stopping by!! We are just getting back from a wonderful trip to the east coast, I would like to thank all those that stopped by while I was away!!

I also noticed that I am close to 250,000 hits… WOW!! As a special thank you, one lucky winner will be my next guest designer for the Stamps and Smiles. I have a huge release coming out soon and would LOVE to have you guest design for me!! Now through August, I will pick one random person to win!! Want more of a chance to win, leave me a comment on each of my posts for the next week, the winner will be announced with the release date!

Today’s design is for another fun project over at Stamps and Smiles – Project Tuesday. This week we are creating a surprise gift card holder. This fun tutorial comes from Paper Pleasing Idea's - Thanks for the wonderful tutorial Julie!! With LOTS of Birthdays coming up, this was the perfect project to create - we warmly invite you to play along.

For my project I started with some baja cardstock along with some retired dsp from SU. I decorated the front using the stamp set from Stamps and Smiles called Carl the Cupcake. The stamps were stamped using Memento ink and colored in using my Copics. To finish off the design, I added some glitter to the whip and a couple of swirls. This project took about 1/2 to create, not bad for a fun gift card holder!!

We hope you will stop by and see the other wonderful samples by the Design Team and play along. We post a NEW project every Tuesday. Last week we created a fun a hanging treat box. Please stop by the Stamps and Smiles blog and visit the Project Tuesday page. We have LOTS of fun samples from the design team to help inspire you!!

Before I go, I would like to announce the card giveaway. Congratulation’s Emily from Emily's Expression, please email me your address so I can get your goodies out to you.

Thanks so much for stopping by, here is the recipe: Recipe ~ Stamps: Carl the Cupcake - Stamps and Smiles Ink: Memento Paper: White, Baja Breeze Accessories: Copics, Ribbon, Martha Stewart Glitter.
