Hand Stamped Sentiments From A Card To Something Else Challenge #39

This week's challenge at Hand Stamped Sentiments we had a lot of fun putting this challenge together. We're calling it From A Card to Something Else. Your card should inspire you to create a 3D item that coordinates with it. With the holidays here you can create your project for any holiday - Birthday, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas - you get the idea. We're excited about this challenge and can't wait to see your creations!

This week we're also featuring a super talented guest designer, Kathy Braun of Lucky Stamper. She's so creative and always posts cute pictures of Lucky, her dog. Her daughter, Lizzy also contributes her projects to the blog which proves that creativity and talent run in this family. Be sure to visit her blog and see all their beautiful projects. Thank you Kathy for accepting our invitation. Here's her creation for this challenge.

Kathy created this Christmas gift set for her parents. When she was growing up she spent summers in Hatteras so it is a special place for her family. She made this beautiful Christmas card and coasters set. I'm sure they'll love it. For more details about her project please visit her blog, Lucky Stamper and also see what Lucky's up to.

Remember, you can use any brand of products to create your projects.
