For today’s hop I would like to share with you a gift-wrapping project. Making your own packaging is really fun and easy, and it gives a wonderful personal touch to any gift. I used a small background stamp called Snowing to create my own stamped wrapping paper. I stamped it using black ink onto white paper. Then I used a paper string to tie my wrapped gift.

Next I used stamps and dies from the Beautiful Day Set to decorate my present. I stamped the images using shades of green and black ink as I wanted to keep everything in monochromatic colours.

To finish my project I added two tags I created using the Stitched Labels 1 Dies from Pretty Pink Posh. I cut them out of white and black cardstock and stamped a sentiment from the Pine Tree Stamp Set.

That’s it for me, your next stop on the hop is Heather Hoffman!

Thank you for stopping by and enjoy the rest of the hop!

Winnie & Walter World Cardmaking Day 2016 Blog Hop



Hello and a very Happy World Card Making Day to everyone! Today I'm excited to join Winnie & Walter along with lots of talented designers for a special blog hop celebration in honour of World Card Making Day!

If you came here from Kate Capper’s blog, then you are on the right track. Otherwise, go back to Winnie & Walter and start from there, as you won't want to miss anything!

Of course, you can't have a blog hop without prizes, right? 3 random winners in total will be drawn from all the comments left on the different stops along the hop. Each winner will receive a $25 gift certificate to the Winnie & Walter shop.

For today’s hop, I created a clean and simple card using stamps from In Bloom: Anna's Flora stamp set and the Thanks Cutaway.

I stamped the images to create some geometric pattern and used markers to add colour to it. The Thanks sentiment was cut out of black cardstock.

That’s it for me, your next stop on the hop is Keren Baker.

Thank you for stopping by and enjoy the rest of the hop!
