Woodware USA - Anything But a Card!!

Welcome to another week at Southern Yankee Crafter! Boy, last week was busy, both in real life and blog land!! However, I came out unscathed, so at least it was productive!! I have a project for you today that is anything but a card--our challenge this week at Woodware USA! We have over 125 participants last week...can you believe that one? Let's see if we can top that this week! If you would like to see the DT samples and get more information, visit HERE for details!

Why did I wait so long to try to make one of these awesome flowers? It is so fun, and they look very impressive. One of the things that I tweaked from the instructions I followed--I used a large 3D Zot adhesive. It gave a little more stability!

The front of the Target mailbox, all decked out with a luscious bow, courtesy of the Bow Easy! How could I survive without it? If you don't have one, what are you waiting for? It's AWESOME!

The overall project! I used the wonderful Woodware USA set -- Lots of Hearts -- to add to my project. The designer paper has a bit of a sheen to it. I covered the mailbox flag with Melon Mambo that was run through the Swiss Dot folder in my Cuttlebug.

We'd love to have you play along this week with us! Thanks for stopping by!

It’s Monday, and we have a treat for you!! This week’s challenge for our Woodware USA design team is ANYTHING BUT A CARD! This really is a challenge for me each time that we do it. I get into the card rut, so I seldom venture out into the world of “other things.” Today, I did!

I have a box that came in a pack of six from Martha Stewart Crafts. It is designed to hold treats (brownies, bars, cookies, etc.), so I decided to jazz it up a bit. I tend to give more treats around the holidays, so I made this for Christmas. I kept the stamping simple, but I loved that I could assemble the phrase “we wish you a Merry Christmas” through stamps in the set called Traditional Christmas Greetings. It is a great all purpose set, and it gives you a large amount of greetings, both religious and secular.

I used a set of paper from My Mind’s Eye called Colorful Christmas, and it is adorable…so glad that I had some left over from last year because this box took up a lot! The box is almost 9 inches square, and the depth is 2 ½ inches. The ribbon is Purely Pomegranate satin ribbon from Stampin’ Up.

See you tomorrow!! Tuesday is always a party, so check back for my Party Time Tuesdays card!!
