For the rest of you...stick around...there are more stamps to be won!!
Today's new stamp is featuring Buddy, the monkey. Whenever I can I like to create stamps that can be used for the holidays, but also throughout the rest of the year. That was the thought behind this stamp called, Buddy's Star. In the photo below I made a shadow box/gift card holder/ornament of Buddy putting a star at the top of the Christmas tree:
*Note: The other stamp in this project is from a previous release...it's called Christmas Lights (#A112).
And...below, using the same Buddy stamp, I made a card that could be used for graduations, promotions, etc.:
Pretty versatile, huh?
Here are the details for making the gift card/ornament. Real easy!! Cut a piece of cardstock to 3" x 12". Score at 3", 3-1/2", 6-1/2" and 7". Punch out a hole and apply double stick tape, as shown below:
Fold along the scored lines...remove the backing from the double stick tape and attach. The space between the two strips of double stick tape forms the pocket for the gift card (behind the shadow box). It literally takes just a few minutes to put together. How great would that be to get a whole bunch of gift card gifts taken care of in August???
Here's the giveaway for today:
To enter the drawing...leave me a comment by midnight (Hawaii time) on Friday, August 20...tell me what "star" you're reaching for right now. For me, like many of you...it's helping my son get into a great college!!! I'll draw one winner at random and announce their name on Saturday, August 21. Good luck!!!

Hi Jean:
I too enjoy your stamps and the ideas you share. My reach for the stars is to retire knowing that my children are productive citizens doing what they love, and in one way or another - giving back to those less fortunate.
Thanks for the chance to win your cute stamps. What a nice gift card holder. Love your projects and tutorials, thanks. My reach for the star is to do more crafting and wish for continued good health and happiness for everyone.

The star I'm reaching for is to lose 10% of my weight. I just joined weight watchers last week and lost 2 pounds.
You always come out with the cutest stamps! My reach for the stars is to retire soon so I can craft, craft, craft! Thanks for the chance to win your super cute stamps!
Such a cute idea! glad to have another chance at winning your very cute stamps. My reach for the stars is to help raise my grandson to be happy & healthy!
Congrats Tammy! My reach for the star is to get a new home for my family soon. Thank you for sharing the instructions
Your stamps are always cute and these are definitely no exception! The star, that I am grasping for is the the strength to try and remain positive following repeated setbacks that continue to occur during my DH's May injury and recooperation process! CM2
What a great stamp set! I also love the giftcard tutorial. As for my "goal" I am reaching for right now, I have a MAJOR job in getting my stamping room organized. I let it get away from me and now I am paying for it. LOL Anyway, thanks for a chance to win. :D
Great project with Buddy and the tree & stars. I'm going to cut my 3 x 12 paper right now and try it. The star I'm reaching for--understanding.
All good ideas on how to use the stamps from you and your fans!
