Saying Good-bye to Holiday Blitz

Mega RBH BannerWhether you just started here or you came from Holly’s blog I’m so glad you’re here! Holly really did a fabulous job showcasing the Holy Triptych stamp set. Her work is always stunning!

I will be sharing my projects using one of my retiring stamp sets, Holiday Blitz.  It is one of those fun sets because you get 28 stamps that cover all the holidays for the year plus some extra’s that cover all the seasons too!  Small stamps are perfect when making smaller cards, tags, inchies and a host of other creative projects.  So follow me as I share with you three of my newest creations using this great holiday stamp set!

Create lovely borders using Holiday Blitz

This is a quick project that uses one stamp to create a fun border by using multiple ink colors, and some of those long strips of scraps that I’ve been saving just for these cards. LOL!  These 3 x 3 cards fit in the small box created using two small envelope dies.  This cute project uses Sahara Sand, Regal Rose, and Melon Mambo. These four little cards with envelopes would make a perfect hostess gift this July 4th!

Holiday Blitz images perfect for creating inchiesWith Father’s Day right around the corner,  Holiday blitz comes to the rescue with two perfect stamps! 1” strips of Designer Series Paper and Very Vanilla cardstock quickly make these “Tie” inchies the perfect image for Dad!  A self-made Designer Series Envelope with clear-embossed “Ties” ties this project together. ;)

Small images make great game pieces  My final project for the hop is a tic tac toe game!  This would be a great little gift as a take home gift from a birthday party.  The Designer Series Paper makes quick work of the cover and the game board. Actual size is 5” x 5” x 1/4” and would fit perfectly in a 5.5” square envelope.

Window sheets were used to adhere the game pieces inside and the temporary adhesive, Dotto, was used to affix the pieces on the game board.  My nine-year-old son had to play as soon as I finished…so I assume it would be a big hit with kids!

Thanks for stopping by and be sure to check out Lisa’s blog next to see her wonderful creations as she says good-bye to Together Forever.

Enjoy!
