Stories of stamps, paper and... Christmas with a Bow

There's a new challenge over at Stories of stamps, paper and...


Christmas with a Bow!

I joined this team a couple months ago.  Most of the design team members are italian.  It is a monthly challenge with tutorials that are posted through the month.

Here's how I was inspired:

cardstock:  papertrey ink kraft/black, recollections white  paper:  american crafts  stamps:  mft/perk up  ink:  hero hues  other:  studio calico wood veneer snowflake, waffle flower mailable 3D bow, mft jelly bean flet

(yes, there is glitter everywhere in our home)

This card is 4.25 x 4.25.

I wanted to make my own coffee cup so all the paper components are by me.  I even did some scoring on the lid.

I used the MFT Perk Up set for the stamping.

The bow?  Isn't it adorable?!  I used MFT Jelly Bean felt with the Waffle Flower Mailable 3D Bow.

I can't wait to see how you're inspired!
