Hey everyone! It's definitely NOT just another "Manic Mojo Monday" here...as I have some VERY exciting news!I am thrilled and honored to announce that I have been invited to serve as a Guest Design Team member for The Little Paper Shop!!!
The Little Paper Shop offers clear stamps in a wide array of images and themes. They are VERY well made and etched and provide beautifully stamped images every time you use them. Owner Julia Betemps has provided a wonderful assortment of stamps and really pretty fonts and sentiments that aren't like a lot of the "other" stamps out there on the market...seriously!
In addition to being OVER the moon that I have the privelege to work with Julia, wait until you check out the rest of the Design Team! I have to say, the only word that comes to mind when I first saw who I would be getting to work with was...SPEECHLESS! Ok, and we ALL know that Jess is rarely EVER speechless LOL! The wonderful women on this team are some of the most talented artists in the stamping "arena" and I am beyond honored to be among them on this team. This is a VERY exciting time for me and I thank Julia and all the girls at LPS for being so welcoming to me!!!
Well, in addition to this FAB news, I thought I'd incorporate Julee Tilman's Mojo Monday sketch for the week using some AWESOME stamps by The Little Paper Shop!
I decided to make these into a little gift set and box so I made four similar cards but w/ different sentiments and embellishments just to jazz it all up a bit.
Funny when I went to Julia's blog today I saw that SHE made four little square cards too w/ a cute box...which I had NO idea until I clicked on her blog this morning...isn't that a riot? Great minds, right??!! Too funny. You should check hers out..it's darling!
This is a super quick and easy project to use as a teacher gift, bday gift, or just because. I cut the cards into 4.5X4.5 inch squares, a really GREAT TIP that Julee Tilman had on her Mojo Monday blog post today..that way, the cards still fit in a standard size envie and you don't get whacked w/ international postage!!! Isn't that a great idea?
I then got out a clear card box (from Papertrey) and decided to do a really simple "belly band" with this cute little "handmade" stamp by The Little Paper Shop. It comes in their Floral Wishes set which is one of my favorites and one that I used primarily for these cards.
The end result was a finished looking but VERY simple package for the cards and I just can't wait to give it to someone!
