Thank you very much for coming by my blog today to celebrate "Season's Givings" with a giant blog hop and awesome prize giveaways! This is my third year doing this great hop! Big giant thanks to Latisha for organizing this amazing hop! I hope you are having fun looking at everyone's blogs! What a great way to start off the new year right? The entire hop link list is at the very bottom of my post. And every blog has a prize! There are all kinds of beautiful projects to look at and loads of great prizes! 

This blog hop is all about us thanking YOU, our awesome followers and readers, for supporting us and sharing our joy of crafting. For lots of us, the main reason we blog, is that we develop wonderful friendships with a greater creative community and we uplift and inspire each other. Truly, thank you for joining me on my blog journey. If you are new to my site – welcome! I hope you find something you like and I'm happy to have you here today. Welcome to Season's Givings 2017! 

You heard me correctly – every stop on the hop has PRIZES! It's our way of saying thanks! I have a great prize package of goodies to give away to one lucky winner (see photo below)! In order to be eligible to win, please leave a comment on this post and tell me your New Year's resolution for crafting and creativity! I will draw the winner on Wednesday January 4th and notify you via email. What projects are you going to work on in 2017? Maybe a new technique? New style? Favorite new supplies? 

PRIZE PACKAGE

 

My project to share with you today is a sweet little package of love notes I made with the brand new Lawn Fawn Heart Envelope Die! LOVE! Swooooon! It's a big heart die that folds into an envelope. The finished size is perfect to hold a sweet note and/or a gift card! I made some notes for my friends out of beautiful patterned papers. Then I added accents with pretty stamps from Altenew. 

LAWN FAWN STITCHED HEART ENVELOPE DIE. TINY LETTERS BY WANDA GUESS. ALTENEW STAMPS!

 

I used the Altenew Calligraphy Alpha to spell out the names of my friends. The way the stamps are designed, they line up perfectly and hook together to mimic hand lettering! I used ink shades in pink, brown and green to match the papers and give a vintage feeling.

Here is the envelope when it is opened up – a BIG HEART! I adhered my notes inside on some cream paper and used more Altenew Stamps. The stamp set is called Hello Sunshine! I love how the double sided paper makes the envelopes just as pretty on the inside as the outside. 

LAWN FAWN STITCHED HEART ENVELOPE DIE. TINY LETTERS BY WANDA GUESS. ALTENEW STAMPS! CARTA BELLA FLORA PAPERS

 

I used the SSS Stitched Ovals dies to die cut seals for the back of the envelopes. I stamped on them to make them extra pretty. They are attached with foam tape for a bit of dimension.

PRIZE PACKAGE

 

The Heart Envelope Die comes with add on pieces – a heart, some word dies, and this perfectly sized scalloped label piece. SO elegant!!

PRIZE PACKAGE

 

Here are the envelopes cut out, and before I folded them. I used a bone folder tool to get nice crisp edges. The die automatically scores where you need to fold – so no guesswork!

    It was last year’s Seasons Givings blog hop that brought me to your blog for the first time and I’m so happy it did! You knock my socks off each time you post your amazing creations! Your friends are certainly blessed to have such a generous, kind and talented friend as yourself! I have 3 crafty goals for 2017 – improve my stamping, improve my random placement of embellishments (I often look at your cards to help me with this:) and learn to do brush lettering. I’m so looking forward to all the outstanding projects you’ll create in 2017! Thanks for being such an incredible inspiration! Happy New Year!

    Thank you so much for sharing your creativity and artistry; you inspire me so much. My crafting goal for 2017 is to try to create at least once a week. Doesn’t seem like a lot but balancing work, my family, and taking care of my mom leaves little time for anything else but crafting freshens my soul so it’s important.

  27. Georgiana Carson Avatar

    Your note cards are adorable. Your friends will surely enjoy them. My 2017 crafty goal is to learn to color stamps (I’ve been a die-cut person for years) and make the designs look fabulous. I teach 5th grade, so I am surrounded by their art and coloring. Thanks for the amazing opportunity!

    OMGosh, that Heart envy die from LF! Thanks for sharing that and your project! So fun and useful! I’m thinking co-workers, we have a stressful couple of months coming up at work. I’m not big on resolutions, esp. since I usually break them, and they sound so final. 😉 My goals are to use some of my hoarded supplies and to craft more in 2017. I seem to only “get to it” craft-wise for 4 months of the year, and even then, half my family members don’t get bday cards from me! So, that is a consistent goal of mine. You’re blog is one of many that inspires me on a regular basis, now it’s time to make time to craft! Hmm, that might mean less blog time. 😉

    Happy new year! I’ve never seen the heart envelope die. It is just so cute. My crafting resolution is to craft more and clean less. Crafting is very relaxing and cleaning is so stressful and the minute I finish cleaning, someone comes and messes it up. So I’m going to stress less about the mess and create more beautiful projects.

    Happy New Year, Wanda! Glad you reminded us to sign up for through emails. That’s how I like to stay up to date with blogs. Those envelopes are SO darn cute. I assume the die fits through a standard size Big Shot. Might have to invest in that set. Thanks for the chance to win such a great prize package.

    Happy New Year, Wanda!! Thank you for another year of great inspiration. I just love your work and look forward to getting email updates for your blog including SSS Weekender with Wanda. I came up with a few crafty goals for the New Year. 2017 is going to be THE year I get everything organized in my craft room. I have collected some great ideas from the awesome bloggers I follow and plan on putting them to use! Another goal is to make at least one card or 3D object per week…PER WEEK…that’s a huge goal for me with my work schedule, but I am going to try really hard! I even started a notebook/planner for the projects….which leads me to another goal…keeping up with that planner!!! LOL!! These are my top goals for the New Year. – bjlee717″at”hotmail”dot”com
