Crafter's Castle + Taylormadecards4u: Soda Fountain Shoppe

Hello, friends! I'm super excited to share with you that I am on the *NEW* Designs Team for Crafter's Castle! Taylormadecards4u is our permanent sponsor, and I will get to make a video tutorial for each creation I make! I will usually post every other month, but this month I fell in LOVE with our permanent sponsor's kit for us--Soda Fountain Shoppe!

TOTALLY gorgeous, right?! It totally screams VALENTINE to me, so I went that direction and created a treat bag! Here's the finished creation...

For details on how I created this treat bag, please click HERE to view the video tutorial I've made! Here's a close up of the focal panel for you, too!

MHKDesigns: Easter Blessings

It's time for a new release at MHKDesigns and the MHKDesigns Etsy Shop has been stocked with the new digital stamp set and digital paper packs!  Today we are showcasing the *NEW* Easter Blessings set.  Take a peek at what I made...

I decided to decorate a treat box to show off one of the fun frames and sentiments from the Easter Blessings set.  I added a POP of color with some paper blooms and rhinestones, but kept the digital elements black and white.

To tie in the pink from the body of the box, I added a pink seam binding bow to the handle.  I think this is SO fun, and it will be a pretty Easter gift come the holiday!  What do you think?  I can't wait to hear your thoughts in the comments below!

So, now that we have that out of the way, let's talk about how to get this new set OR the entire release for FREE!  Here's what you'll need to do...

1. Comment on the MHKDesigns blog.
2. Comment on each DT member's blog.

I'll be choosing comments randomly from all these places after the release is over, and the authors of those comments will be our winners!  So, the best way to win is to comment every day!  We LOVE the feedback you give us! :)  Here's the list of blogs for you to visit each day...

Paper Sweeties December 2015 Inspiration Challenge

Hi, friends!  HAPPY DECEMBER!  I am so excited to get to share with you some of the *NEWEST* products from Paper Sweeties, along with our monthly challenge!  Take a peek at our inspiration this month...

I LOVE traditional holiday colors, so that was my inspiration.  One thing that brings me joy during the holiday season is to share little treats, decked out with handmade wrapping.  That was my inspiration for my creation.  Check it out...

I used the *NEW* Sugar and Spice stamps and Sugar and Spice Sweet Cuts dies to create my packaging.  I added a few Marshmallow sequins for "buttons" and some rusty jingle bells for some added interest.  I then decided to add some googly eyes...my ginger-guy just needed them! ;)

I added some velvet ribbon to my chevron envelope. then layered all my elements together.  What's inside, you ask?  Well, a hot cocoa packet and a candy cane, of course!  Sugar and spice! ;)  I LOVE this fun creation, and I hope you do, too!  Please leave me a comment below to let me know what you think!

That's all for me, friends!  Thank you SO MUCH for stopping by!  I hope you come and join in the fun with us this month, and don't forget to check out the other DT makes!
