Hey Y'all!!

A new month brings a new challenge with our design teams. This month, we’re challenging ourselves (and all of you) to get a head start on Mother’s Day, end-of-school-year Teacher Gifts, and Father’s Day by creating gifts! Anything goes…gift sets, altered items, gift card holders, gift tags – whatever you can think of! Here is my creation and it goes a lil' somethin' like this........CHECK IT!!!!



Be sure to check out what a few of other our design team members have created for the challenge today!

And we want YOU to play along with us! Simply make a gift, gift set (could be cards, could be an altered item), or a gift card holder of some sort and add the direct link for your project to our collection at the end of this post (or on the Stampendous blog) no later than Thursday, May 31 at 11:59 PM EST . You do not have to use Stampendous products, but we sure love it when you do! As an extra incentive for playing along, one lucky crafter (drawn at random) will receive this fabulous new Cling Jumbo Tropical Garden stamp set:

Due to shipping restrictions, the winner must have a US address.   We hope you have a chance to play along with us (you can enter as many times as you’d like!) this month…Happy Crafting!
