As Planned & Promised...

...I was able to play with this month's Stamp of the Month, "Around the Block"; and oh, what fun I had with it! I am REALLY liking this stamp set more than I thought I would. (Thanks to another CTMH consultant, Karen P.) So, without further adieu, here are two things I created with it. (The Gingerbread Man, Candy Cane & peppermint swirls are from the retired, "Gingerbread" stamp set.) The button is one of our Clear Craft Buttons and I glued it to one of the B&T papers and trimmed and threaded Designer Chocolate Polka Dot ribbon through it using the needle from our Piercing Tool Set. The snowflake is from our new Dimensional Elements Flurry; and I created my own "Glimmer Mist" using our Pearl Paint and Tulip Exclusive Inks Reinker. Paper used for the projects were our new Jingle Level 2 Paper Pack. I LOVE this paper; and the stripes for the gift bag are from the Creative Basics Jingle Collection paper pack...another great paper pack! I used Liquid Applique and Prisma Glitter for the "snow." Other items used: Twinkle Brads, Cocoa Exclusive Inks Stamp Pad, White Daisy Embossing Powder, Versamark Ink Pad, Craft Heater and Craft Tray.
