 The special stamp set we have for you this month is:

"Winter Scenes"

I have only one project that I made with today's set, Amaryllis Definition; however, it contains several elements.  Using a tutorial from Splitcoaststampers, I made this Drawer Box.  I googled "amaryllis" to get  photos of several varieties, and I liked this one -- white w/red stripes.  I stamped the large single flower three times -- cutting out the entire flower on one, the smaller center petals on the second,  and just the stamens on the third.  I then curled the petals using my bone folder and glued the two images together, attaching the cut-out stamens with a mini brad. 

You could probably use the drawer for a variety of things.  I used it to hold some matching note cards.

There are four sentiments included in this set.  The one I used for the top of the box inspired me to use some Stickles on the stamens of my amaryllis.  I just put the botanical name on the note cards.

The box will probably hold six or eight cards.  I made multiples of these two note cards.

I hope you stop by the blogs of the rest of the DT members for more inspiration.  Remember, each time you comment on a blog, you have another chance to win some free stamps.
