Stamp Club December 2014

We had lots of fun at our Stamp Club/Christmas Party last week.  I love the ladies that are in my group!!

3. Print out a sheet of sayings in a 16 point font (Calibri or Arial) onto white card stock.

5. Punch out one 1 3/8" Pink Pirouette Circle. Add the folded scallop to the front of it.
6. Use the 2” x 3” Cherry Cobbler piece to punch a scalloped triangle with the Petite Pennants Builder punch. Bend the tip down and to the left.
7. Add a 1/2" silver circle to the tip and a piece of a white 1 3/4" white scallop underneath for hair.
8. Add the hat to the pink circle. Color in black eyes with the black marker.
9. Punch a 1/8" hole in the folded hat and tie it to around the top of the bottle.

11. Add adhesive to back of black strip and a tiny piece of Sticky Strip to the end.
12. Wrap the belt around the bottom portion of the 3"x 5" polka dotted piece

Next we worked on the fantastic custom "hot beverage" cups.  I CASED these from Connie Stewart.  This is a LINK to her Youtube video.
I apologize for the photo.  All my cutest samples were either given away, or wrapped up in cello bags with gorgeous bows, and given away already!

And lastly was this darling little treat box.  It's just the size to hold 1 Ghirardelli Square.  We made this treat in Cherry Cobbler. But, again, all my red ones have been given away.  This one is done in Bermuda Bay and is still quite "Christmasy" or "wintery".

This project was CASED from Sam Donald and here is a LINK to her site where you'll find a great little video tutorial!





That's it for today.  As always, feel free to contact me with questions!
Have a great day.
Happy Stamping!
