My Craft Spot Stamp Release Party- Day 2!

Hello, my dear friends! Welcome to Day 2 of the My Craft Spot Stamp Release Party! :o)

Today we are featuring the new Scrapping Life- Everyday stamp set and the coordinating Scrapping Life Cards metal dies! These were created by Robin and can be used like the Project Life scrapbooking cards. They are also just the right size for cards, adding to their versatility.

For my project, I created a sparkly box to treasure precious moments. :o) (And incorporated two of the new Big Words metal dies!)
Upon request, the lovely ladies behind the beloved I Feel the Love Project told me about the upcoming March recipient of our mission. I wanted to be able to dedicate something to them during this festive week! I can't yet share the recipient's heartbreaking story, but this was made for her and her mom. I like to think of this box as a sparkling embrace of moments shared.
This new stamp set is filled with sentiments that are not only ideal for scrapbooking and minis, but also for every type of project. There is sweetness, whimsy, and a variety of emotions. I'm eager to use several for regular cards, too! For this box, I chose three of the sentiments to decorate the panels:

"Everyday memories" to encourage the recipients to cherish the memories made in the everyday... not just special occasions.

"Happy little moments" to find the happy in every moment... using them to find beauty in the midst of personal chaos. I paired this with one of the pretty flourishes from the Tiny Tags 2 stamp set.

"Life is an Adventure"... along with a sweet little camera for them to capture it. :o)

The hearts and camera are from the new metal die set, which I adore. I am enamored with the camera! I used Kaisercraft Enchanted Garden paper throughout this box, including the die cuts. If enlarged, you can see I chose script paper for the camera to signify the recording of memories. And I couldn't resist adding some rhinestones to sparklify their adventures. :o)
The top is bursting with glitter. :o) I combined the Happy and You metal word dies with Cameo-cut letters to create my title. (Isn't the font of the dies stunning?!) It could work for a lovey-dovey relationship, but this is for a mom who is so proud of her daughter who tirelessly battles. I added Zva Creative rhinestones flourishes on top of the glittery paper because you can never have too much sparkle. The Wild Orchid Crafts roses are sparklified with a Wink of Stella brush tip glitter marker, which is gorgeous in person.

I hope the sweet mom and brave daughter love this tiny treasure chest of sappy love as much as I do. :o)
