The design team's challenge was to take the theme of our blog hop and apply the colours of white, pink and orange to their creations.

For participating in the blog hop by leaving a comment on each and every participating myStamp BOX designer's blog, you have a chance to win a set of brand new stamps sets being released this month! So leave a comment on all the blog posts and then return to the mSB blog and tell us what you favourite project was along the way for a chance to win! Have fun!

Here are my creations using our theme and our totally cool colour scheme...

In sticking (no pun intended.. *wink*) to our sweets theme, I decided to create a few cards that had a sweet component to them... CANDY! Yum!

For my first card I wanted to use one of February's new stamp releases... Programmed Robots. So cute... I knew this little fella would be the perfect guy to hold a sweet treat for me!

I'm a Sucker for u!

For this month, we have been sponsored by P K Glitz. They provided the whole team with some fabulous glitters and embossing powders to use. I used their Powder Keg bronze patina embossing powder on my little robot fella.

I also used another new stamp release... Mini Alpha (small box) to create my greeting! I so LOVE that alphabet set!!! This set is a MUST for your stamping needs!

I had shopping in the candy section of my location variety store for some fun Valentine's treats to use on my cards and found these Gummy Ring candies. As soon as I saw them, I knew I would use my Funky Circles (small box) to create a fun patterned paper to display my fun candy treats. I took my orange ink and created a random ring pattern on my light orange cardstock.

Thanks!

When you untie the bow and remove your candy treat, this is the greeting that appears...

I used a super cool Kaleidacolor "Desert Heat" ink pad by Tsukineko to get the colour change from orange to red on my greeting from the Mention It! stamp set.

Because I was absolutely loving the colour scheme of the blog hop, I created one more fun card.

Nuts About You!

I first created the fun hexagonal patterned paper using the large open hexagon stamp from the Hive of Life stamp set and the little mini hex-shaped nut shape from the Programmed Robots stamp set. I also used the mini-nut shaped stamp to pattern the large pink heart behind the heat embossed robot.

Here's what the inside of my card looks like....

I again used my new favourite Mini Alpha stamp set to create my sentiment! LOVE that set... *sigh*.
