A Surprising Treat

I mentioned May’s stamp club projects in my last post (sorry it was so long ago). We made Pull Treats! They are so much fun! They’re easy to make & boy, do they bring a smile to the holder’s face!

You basically make an open-ended pouch, then punch a hole through the top. Thread a ribbon through the hole. Place the candy bar inside the pouch and push it down slowly. The ribbon will be pushed down with it. I found the tutorial on Splitcoast Stampers.

I love that chipboard star! To trim the paper nice & close, first apply Tombo Multi Purpose Adhesive all over the top of the chipboard piece. Then, lay it face down on the back (wrong) side of your Designer Series Paper. Smooth the paper over the chipboard. Then place on a cutting mat & trim the paper away with a hobby blade.

Christmas Ornament

Merry Christmas!!

I love this time of year. I especially love the decorations.

My husband, Tom, participated in an Ornament Exchange today at work. So, I had the opportunity to make one! Lucky me! It was so fun to make & I think it turned out beautifully. Now I want one for myself. :)

I used Stampin’ Up!’s chipboard and last year’s (retired) designer Christmas papers. I also used the Baroque Motifs stamp set & gold heat embossing.

Then I made a simple box with a belly band to give it in. From what my husband said, the recipient may have been more impressed with the box than the ornament!

Here’s some pictures of the thanksgiving garland I made. I love it! It took a few hours to make. I definitely think it was worth it.

Its from page 19 of the Holiday Mini Collection. It uses On Board Garland Greetings & the delicious Apple Cider designer series papers.

I’m holding a class where you can make this beautiful fall garland. While you do, you’ll be learning how to embellish chipboard by covering it with designer papers & by coloring it with any of Stampin’ Up!’s 48 exclusive colors! You can use these techniques to add chipboard to all of your paper crafts!

My class is on Thursday, October 25th at 6:30pm. The cost is $35 ($32 for current club members). RSVP by this Monday, Oct 13th!

The class includes all the supplies needed to complete this project. PLUS, you’ll take home the remainder of your On Board Garland Greetings package, which will include enough pieces to make a fabulous Christmas garland with the words “Joy” & “Noel”, and lots of other chipboard leaves, snowflakes & stars, too. Use these accents to embellish your cards, scrapbook pages & gift packaging! Or, use them to create additional coordinating decorations to display in your home. So many options!

For those who are a little sensitive, you may want to skip this next photo. lol

Sorry, I couldn’t help myself. :) I didn’t even notice it when I was snapping away taking pictures. Then I was looking at them on the computer and it cracked me up. Maybe I should be more observant while photographing.
