"Every day holds the possibility of a miracle"

Spring is here. This time of year is for new beginnings, new life, a new fresh perspective on our daily happenings. Miracles are all around us and spring is the perfect time of year to reflect an all the fullness in our lives.

Here is a spring gift box I made assembling it all with my trusty Glue Dots®. I tucked in a freshly baked mini loaf of banana bread for a special treat.

A Stampendous Love

A mother's love is "Stampendous"! I fell in love with this stamp the second I saw it. I adore elephants and this mama elephant snuggling her baby is just precious. This fabulous Stampendous stamp is perfect for paper piecing. This stamping technique is easy and fun and makes your stamps pop!.

To paper piece you simply pick out different patterned papers, and colored cardstocks. You then stamp your image onto each of your different mediums, carefully cutting out and placing or "piecing" your image together to give a demential look with all the different papers. I also used Copic markers on the mama elephant stamp and pop dots to give some more depth to the stamp. Paper piecing is easy and fun and gives that "wow" look to your projects. I think this card would be perfect for a new mother, or the perfect Happy Mother's Day card.

Here is a list of the supplies I used to make my "Stampendous Love" card.

Stamps: Stampendous Cling Rubber, Elephant Always Set
Card Stock: Bazzill Basics, teal blue, coconut white, rust orange
Patterned Paper: My Minds Eye So Sophie "pretty girl" Bo Bunny "Tutu Dot"
Embellishments: Pebbles glitter candy dots, pink
Stickles, fruit punch
American Crafts Premium Ribbon, charcoal
Wrights white wide lace
Copic Markers: W5 Warm Gray, W1 Warm Gray

A Stampendous Spring Box

I am so happy to share with you all today some fabulous product from Stampendous. This is my first Blog Star assignment, I decided to make a Spring goodie box using these Stampendous products, the Jumbo Perfectly Clear Handle, Cling Jumbo Water Lily, Pearluster Embossing Powder (blue), and the Clear Embossing Ink, Boss Gloss. I also used a large pink chinese take out box, and some fun handmade fabric flowers from K & Company, a clear studded button also from K & Company and American Crafts Premium Ribbon in denim to complete my project.

For my Stampendous Spring Goodie box, I simply stamped my large Water Lily stamp with the Boss Gloss, and randomly made a pattern all over my disassembled chinese box. I then dusted the wet gloss with the Pearluster blue embossing powder. After shaking off the excess embossing powder I then gently heat gunned the flowers to make a raised and radiant flower. After letting my box dry, I then assembled it and embellished the box with my ribbon, button, and flowers.

This spring box would be the perfect gift filled with paper grass and topped off with yummy jelly beans, and brightly foiled chocolate eggs.

I hope you have a Stampendous Day!
