I love the Whispers Bethlehem die...it's my favorite from the August release. I thought it would look so pretty as a decoration, so I cut it out in black foam tape and wrapped it around a candle.

I also used it on a a few cards. There are so many possibilities for this die...it's a definite must-have :) I also used the Sweet Wordlet Merry Christmas die on this card and...

...this one. I added sugar coating to the words and to the star. The papers are from Bo Bunny's Altitude Collection.

I used the Peace on Earth Sweet Wordlet die for this one. I am entering these in the following challenges:

Merry Christmas

Happy Friday, everyone!! How can this be the last weekend in August?? Sheesh, Christmas will be here before we know it...so I have a Christmas tag to share with you today. It's my turn to post on the Die-Versions blog HERE and I'm using one of the gorgeous dies from the latest Christmas in July release.

The papers for this tag are from My Mind's Eye Victorian Christmas stack. The edges were distressed and then inked with Tim Holtz Walnut Distress Ink. The Whispers Delicate Deer die was cut first in cardboard so it would have some dimension, then black cardstock and brown cardstock.

The Merry Christmas Sweet Wordlet was covered with Sparkle N Sprinkle Fire Engine Red glitter. It was also cut in black for a shadow effect. The trees on the bottom are from the Whispers Mountain Village Border. They were covered with SNS Victorian Christmas glitter.

It's going to be super-busy on my blog next week!! I'm so excited to be guest designing for the newest My Craft Spot release and you aren't going to want to miss it!! The new stamps and dies are amazing!!

Each day you will get a sneak peek at one of 5 new stamp sets, plus 4 sets of metal dies!! There will be lots of fun Halloween and Fall projects and ideas to share with you. You won't want to miss it!!

Mark your calendars for August 15th

There will be a joint blog hop with Die-Versions and Sparkle N Sprinkle. It will begin Aug. 15th at 7 am EST and go through Aug. 17th, so there will be plenty of time to check out all the great projects created by both teams. The theme will be Christmas, so you'll get lots of great inspiration for your upcoming Holiday cards.

The winner will receive a Grand Prize consisting of a $50 gift certificate from Die-Versions and a $50 gift certificate from Sparkle N Sprinkle, for a total of $100.

Die Versions manufactures low profile dies made right here in the United States and Sparkle N Sprinkle manufactures rubber stamps, glitters, embossing powders, and flocking, also made in the US. This is like a match made in heaven - low profile dies combined with lots of glitter, embossing powder, and flocking. Doesn't get much better than that.

Here is a sneak peak of some of the goodies that both teams received:
