My Craft Spot Stamp Release Blog Hop!

Hello, my sparkly friends! Welcome to the My Craft Spot Blog Hop, celebrating Kimberly's new release! All of the new goodies are now available for purchase HERE! Each stop on this hop is also giving away one of the new products! YAY!

I'm your last stop for the celebratory hop! You should have arrived here from the sweet and creative Kate of Small Bits of Paper! If you've just stumbled upon my blog, head on over to My Craft Spot to start at the beginning! You won't want to miss a single stop. :o)

One of the many things I love about Kimberly's products is that they often start me on a crafty journey I wouldn't have thought of otherwise. I'm featuring two sentiments from the new Clock Time stamp set in my project today, which they completely inspired. :o)

I made a Double Sliding Lid Box for a loved one, with a surprise message nestled inside.

This box is based upon a tutorial by the supremely talented Tara, with adjustments made to suit my different base shape. I used the gorgeous Spellbinders Romantic Rectangles for my base, top frame, and sliding lids.

I adore so many sentiments from Kimberly's new release, including this one:

I wanted to surround it in nature's beauty, so I broke into my cherished Pion Design Shoreline Treasures papers from Sweden. With only one 6x6 sheet of each, I've been saving them for something special. Kimberly's releases are always special to me, so with a quivering hand I cut into several of them. ;) Every patterned paper is from that collection, as are the fussy-cut butterflies.

The interior is a little trip to the bottom of the sea, where sparkling treasures and wisdom await:

The interior sentiment is also from Clock Time, which is truly a must-have set! I wish I had been able to get a complete shot of the inside, but I was having major photography issues. The sweet fishie scene also has shells and the Prima Say It In Crystals embellishment has additional resin flowers in multiple colors.

The waves of ruffling Light Denim crinkle ribbon on top is also from My Craft Spot. It matched beautifully. :o) The church window lace and flat-back pearl strands are from The Ribbon Girl. All other embellishments are from Michael's and JoAnn's. I hope the recipient enjoys this as much as I do! :o)
