RCC28 - My debut as a Ribbon Carousel DT member!

Last week I finally got to announce that I am part of the new Ribbon Carousel Crew design team and this week I make my debut on the challenge blog!  I am honored to part of this talented DT!  This week, the amazingly talented new Crewmate, Andrea Ewen, is challenging us to use this photo of gorgeous pillows as inspiration for a new creation!


Our sponsor this week is the fabulous Your Next Stamp!


And the prize is this adorable Ellie Loves To Bake Cling Stamp Set, just in time for the holidays!


Those square pillows inspired me to make a 3x3 note card box.


You can find the tutorial to make the box HERE.  I used PTI pure poppy and kraft card stock.   I stamped the A Muse Artstamps Mini Flake in PTI fresh snow ink on the lid.  I sponged the edges of the lid with more fresh snow ink.   I punched the edges of the lid wit the SU eyelet border punch.  I tied some beautiful 5/8" red swiss dot satin ribbon around the box and added a PTI white button and some bittersweet jute / twine.   

For the 3x3 notecard, I used the snowman from the Whimsie Doodles Tis the Seasons Tags digital stamp set and colored him with copics.  I matted the image panel with PTI pure poppy CS and adhered it a PT kraft card base after I sponged the edges of the card with PTI fresh snow ink.   

Now it is your turn to play along with us for a chance to win that adorable stamp set by Your Next Stamp!  Your creation can be anything from cards, quilts, sewn items, paper crafts, paintings!  Be sure to have ribbon, bakers twine, jute twine, lace, thread (basically anything that comes on a spool).
