To see the full list of winners check the Big News forum at Stamp TV a few days after the hops.
Up first today is the new 'One Free with Three' stamp set, A Little Something. Here is what I have done for today with this set:
And here is the coaster/paperweight that is inside:
I LOVe making coasters/paper weights to give as gifts! And I found these bisque coasters at Michaels I believe it was and decided to color them up and then make a box to match. The mini pizza box fit these little coasters/paperweights just perfect! for my coasters, I used stayz on ink, but you have to stay away from the blank ink when coloring with copics or it will smear. And without thinking, I put a coat of varnish on with a brush, instead of using a spray one, and THAT make it streak a tad. Soo, my advice would be to use the spray on sealer! :D
Next up is the ever so fun mini Darling Diva sets by Debbi Corbari all from Gina K Designs. Here is my first card I made using the Mr. & Mrs. Diva set:
I went with the customary black/white with red for my bride and groom! :D I'm old fashioned like that...and yea, I cry at weddings...dont even have to know the people, I still will cry, LOL!
Here is another card I made using the Rainy Day Diva:
I did some paper piecing on her umbrella and the clouds...colored her up with copic markers Stuck a bit of bling here and there and was done! :D
