I was commissioned to make 2 cards, a bag and a box for the Quickmakes feature of the magazine which you can find on page 35. Here's a shot of my ugly mug, lol! I straightened my hair the day thet piccie was taken.
And finally a piccie of the 2-page spread on pages 36 and 37. The magazine did an amazing job of staging and photographing the cards, box and bag:
As you can see, I used some fabulous Whimsy Stamps rubber stamps for my creations and paired them with some gorgeous Authentique 12x12 Wonder paper. I used red gingham ribbon, kraft cardstock and Vintage Photo ink to give the projects a warm, traditional feel.
Here is the list of the stamps I used:
Sweet Treats bag - Whimsy Stamps Vintage Christmas (large candy canes & "to and from" sentiment)
Winter Bloom card - Whimsy Stamps Vintage Christmas (large poinsettia)
Vintage Tree card - Whimsy Stamps Christmas Tree in Words
You can buy the stamps direct from the Whimsy Stamps store or from the lovely Elaine at Quixotic Paperie if you live in the UK/Europe.
Thank you for popping by and sharing in my excitement of being published! I know this is not a new thing for many of you, but it is huge honour for me and I am thrilled! :)
Hugs,
