Good Morning! Another Thursday is upon us, so that means today is Lindsay’s Stamp Stuff Day!  If you’re looking for the Tiffany Doodles blog hop – click here or scroll down. For this week, Lindsay challenged us to use the theme Sweet Treats – here’s what I came up with: I used one of Lindsay’s Halloween Favors cutting templates and Make The Cut (MTC) software that I purchased through Designing with DieCuts (and let me tell you I LOVE this new version – WOW – what a powerful and easy to use tool) with my Cricut to make the holder. I decorated it with “tinsel” – a really fabulous ribbon from my stash – but I thought it needed something else.  I looked all over for my tiny Christmas ornaments and couldn’t find them  then I remember I had the Santa’s Toyland Tags set from SVGCuts.com so I used MTC and my Cricut to cut out the bottom layer of the Stocking (I welded a circle over the tag hole so that it was one continuous layer) and cut from red DP.  I embossed the stocking with my Argyle Cuttlebug folder and then added the “fur” top with my Quickie Glue pen and white Stampin’/Fun Flock.  The test tube is food grade and filled with mini M&M’s – this was my test run and I think it’s cute and easy – now I need to make 10 more for the teachers/staff at Nadya’s preschool!

Have a fabulous day! Wish us a little luck too – tonight is the Christmas Program at Preschool and Nadya’s 1st time on stage – I’m not sure how she’s going to react since I was incredibly shy at that age.

How’s that for a catchy title? For today’s Lindsay’s Stamp Stuff project, I opted to go 3D!  I created this cute Halloween treat container using Lindsay’s Milk Carton template set – I used Sure Cuts A Lot and the SVG file, but Lindsay has included a printable template as well for those that prefer that option. I left one end of the carton unglued so that I could easily fill it with treats. The cute spider is from my Paper Doll Dress Up cartridge embellished with silver Smooch and black Stickles. I added a double ribbon layer and viola – a super cute and easy gift container!

Good Morning! Welcome to another Thursday with Lindsay’s Stamp Stuff!  I had planned on using Lindsay’s new Fun Fair SVG cutting files set, but “life” happened!   My Dh’s needed encouraging, so  I ventured outside my comfort zone and played with Lindsay’s Steampunk Digital Stamp set to create a card for him – work’s been beyond hectic lately, so I tucked a little surprise inside his lunch bag this morning. I’ll have to get crafty after preschool today as his birthday is tomorrow – which means I need to make another card ASAP!  I used lots of Glossy Accents on this one as I as my goal was a single layer – easy to stash in a lunch box and not be smashed sort of card. With that in mind, my “layers” were created in Photoshop – combing several digital scrapbooking products with Lindsay’s stamp set (even my “brads” are faux – created with Spica markers and Glossy Accents). I had to improvise a bit on the card base since my printer and I couldn’t agree on the sizing – I said borderless, it printed what it wanted – which meant the scaling wasn’t consistent (though scaling was NOT checked either!!) – one of these days I’ll get it figured out.
