Christmas Card Class #4

This is the bonus project from my morning Christmas Card Classes.  We had a great time making this bottle tag (wine not included…LOL) using the Festive Flower Builder Punch.

Poinsettia Wine Tag

Here’s the fixin’s!

The base is a strip of Garden Green CS, measuring 2 3/4″ x 8 1/2″.  You can get four of these from a regular size sheet of CS.  Score at 2 1/2″ and punch a 1 3/8″ circle in the center of the smaller section.

Cut a piece of Merry Moments DSP to 2″ x 6″ and trim one end using the Triple Banner Punch.  This gets adhered to the larger section of the tag.

Create the Poinsettia in Real Red and Garden Green, using Reason for the Season, the Festive Flower Punch, and the directions here .(I used gold glimmer for the flower stamens).  Adhere to the tag where desired.  Stamp the greeting from And Many More on a scrap and punch using the Washi Label Punch, and adhere with dimensionals.  I added a few gold sequins randomly to add a little sparkle.

Any of the products used to make this project can be purchased by visiting my shopping site.  Just click on the shopping basket.  If you’re interested in becoming a demonstrator, I’d love to have you on my team!

Until next time……..stay inky, my friends!

Too Cute Turkey

I know Thanksgiving is past, but my friend, Janet Demonbreun gave me this cute little turkey and I had to share!

Janet made these for her mother’s 95th Birthday Party.  She made 16 of these……that’s a lot of feathers!

I don’t have the fixin’s for you this time, but it’s made with the Curvy Keepsake Box die.  If you haven’t seen it, there are SO many adorable ideas using this box.  Just search for Curvy Keepsake Box on Pinterest, and you’ll find a ton of ideas.

Until next time………stay inky, my friends!

Nutty Treat Box

I hope you’re all enjoying the lovely fall weather.  I like this so much better than the hot summer.  But, I do miss all the fresh vegetables from the Farmer’s Market.

Today’s project is a fall treat box.  This is another project from this month’s Stamp Club.

Here are the fixin’s:

The box is made using Soft Suede CS and the new Square Pillowbox die from the Holiday Catalog.  Cut two pieces with the die (two are required to make the box, but you can get both from a half shet of CS), run one through the Big Shot using the Woodland embossing folder.

Using soft suede ink, add a few leaves from the Among the Branches stamp set (which can be purchased as a bundle with the pillowbox die, saving 15%).  Use tear and tape to assemble the box.  Wrap linen thread twice around the box and tie with a bow.

Punch a 2″ circle from Very Vanilla CS and stamp with Soft Suede ink and the speckled stamp from the Gorgeous Grunge set.

Using the Acorny Thank You bundle, punch an acorn from corrugated paper.  Stamp the acorn top in Cajun Craze, punch, and adhere to the acorn.  Use a dimensional to attach the acorn to the Very Vanilla circle.

Cut a small strip of Very Vanilla, stamp the Grateful for You in Cajun Craze, cut one end in a banner, and adhere on the circle under the acorn.  Use a dimensional to adhere the circle to the box.  I tucked it up under the bow.

I hope you enjoy this project.  If you need any of the supplies to make this project, please visit my Stampin’ Up! store by clicking on the shopping basket in the top right corner.  If you don’t have one, I’d love to be your demonstrator.  And, if you’re in the Fort Knox/Elizabethtown, KY area, I’d love to meet you.

Until next time……..stay inky, my friends!
