Happy Monday! This is the last of my scheduled posts! We have been away on a spur of the moment beach holiday for a few days and before I left, I scheduled all my posts! Fingers crossed that it has all worked and I will respond to any questions that have been left in the next few days! :)
This week, the Stamp & Create product spotlight is all things “Summer Themed”. You will be able to receive up to a 25% discount on all summer themed stamps and products! I couldn’t resist creating another explosion box to showcase more of these gorgeous Sweet November stamps! I had to really modify it from the original dimensions so that the mermaid would fit inside!
- Stamps: ATS Sweet November mermaids: Pearl & Seamor and Fanthom & Lio.
- Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black
- Paper: Whisper White, Papertrey Ocean Breese, Crate DP
- Coloring: Copic Sketch Markers , stickles , adhesive pearls from stash
Inside the box, Fanthom is set amongst some swirling coral which was made using champagne net and strips of acetate. I didn’t have time before I left to create a tutorial but if you want one, please let me know and I will create one for you all! The only thing that I don’t like about the project is that I tried using a crafters glue that was recommended to me and after it dried, it has warped the paper a little. Oh, well, live and learn!
Some Close-Ups:
Don’t forget about our Stamp & Create challenge this month which this to use stitching. You can find out all the details and where to enter right ~here~. You could win a $20 gift certificate!
Remember that each month during the summer, all orders of $30 or more will be entered into a drawing for a $25.00 gift certificate to Stamp and Create!!
Thanks for stopping by my little blog and I hope you have an “inky” day!

What a breathtakingly gorgeous box...the mermaid is beautiful...colored to perfection!
Will try to have an "inky" day!
Me, me...I would love to see a tutorial!! :-)
This ROCKS!!!! I just love how you used the different mermaid and made them go together so well! Your coloring is GORGEOUS!! This really makes me smile :-)))
By the way, I have never found liquid glue that doesn't warp paper...I stick with Scor-Tape for everything (except working with chipboard...you need liquid glue for that).
I hope your trip is going well!!

This is such a lovely idea - I have the first 4 mermaids but haven't had a chance to ink them yet. You are giving me more & more to think about.
