How has another two weeks passed so quickly? Here we are again with another fabulous challenge at Fashionable Stamping Challenges and the Stampettes have some serious inspiration for you this week, showing lots of ways to use dies in projects.
I have used the Sizzix pillow box die and Tim's tattered poinsettia die for my sweet little Christmas packaging. My sister very kindly sent them down for me.
I covered the pillow box in PanPastels then stamped with a text stamp, sealing it with clear fixative spray.
I cut some Christmas text paper and distressed it with DIs and the poinsettia was cut in red and green art paper but I blended DIs over the top and spritzed with water to get a much more tattered and vintage look to it.
The sentiment is another of my computer generated ones.
This challenge is anything goes along as you use some stamping and die-cuts on your project.
So why not join in the fun?
I will have another post later this morning with my PanPastels DT piece.
Have a great day.

Brenda, I so love this! Talk about some brilliant use of dies! That goregous poinsettia looks so beautiful on the pillow box! My die just came in yesterday, so I can't wait to play! Have a wonderful weekend! Hugs!
Very pretty, and sure to be put to good use. A bit chilly here, as my furnace is caput! Service man this morning tells me it's done for. Tomorrow morning, the sales guy is coming to sell me a new one. Oh joy! Murphy's law seems to be taking over here. But could be worse, at least we're not in a deep freeze.
