Here’s a little candy to celebrate my upcoming birthday!
A couple of year’s ago my sons gave me some crafting tools for Christmas. Among those tools was an EK Success Fastenater, but I hadn’t used it in awhile. Then when I saw another at my local craft store, it reminded me of this fun tool and the unique look it offers to papercrafters. I decided to get one to share and to pull mine out and make a couple of more cards with it.
The brand new stamp set is such a wonderful Valentines set. The sentiments can be used together or individually since they do not overlap each other in the design. I LOVE that! Plus there are so many sentiments to choose from.
The cute little birds and hearts follow suit. The image stamp is long enough to reach the full 5-1/2″ across a standard card size. Or like the sentiments, you can also use some of the individual little birds or hearts by themselves.
All you need to do to enter the drawing for the Fastenater and stamp set is leave a comment below on this blog post. A winner will be chosen at midnight PST on Saturday, January 22nd . Yup, that’s my…
hehe
Happy Crafting!
