Tera says "Today I decided to do a fun new take on using dies. As many of you know I love mail art, but gluing pieces on the outside of an envelope can be awkward. To keep the envelope nice and flat, but add depth and dimension I decided to combine stamping with "masking" with Die cuts! This Is a great technique to use on all of your upcoming Christmas tags, envelopes, and even gift wrapping!!"

And that's it folks! Visit the Die-namites blog for their last day and make sure to catch up on leaving comments. We'll be announcing a giveaway soon!!

Did you get lots of inspiration this week? Maybe you can finish your Christmas cards, make  your own wrapping paper or even put together some beautiful handmade gifts.

Today Tina Walker is joining us :

VLVS Stamp used:
Writing Background

Die-Namites used:
Winter Fir, Cardinals & Holly

Tina says "I used a vintage Bingo Card as my backdrop, and added sprays, embossing powder, and stamping to continue the handmade feel. I used the 'Writing Background stamp on my Bingo Card. This is a great stamp for any mixed media project! It adds the perfect little touch.Using 2 Die-Namites die-cut shapes (cut from a cereal box), I sprayed/painted them Shimmerz Paints. I love the beautiful shimmer and glitz from the paints! It was a great compliment to the embossed background.
To finish off my home decor project, I added some handmade embellishments from my stash, painted in corresponding colors, and glued them in place. I love the tone on tone look! It has a timeless feel."
