This was an outright copy of Jackie Topa’s snowman.  It was made with the Envelope Punch Board!  It even used the scraps from punching to make the mouth and eyes.  Jackie used the tiny ornament punch for the nose.  Since I don’t own that set of punches, I searched for a substitute.  What could I make a carrot with?  I found the tail feathers of the Bird Builder Punch made a pretty good carrot.

This ornament turned out great.  No, I didn’t design it.  I copied it from the catalog.  Stampin’ Up! even made a video showing how to make it.  How terrific is that?

 

 

 

If you need more than the video, I did print my own directions.

This Mini Muslin Bag was dyed with a sponge and ink, spritzed with alcohol.  It was my sample and I decided to dye the bags dipped in ink and alcohol instead.  I wish I’d taken pictures of the final project.  But the glitter part turned out great!  I keep forgetting we carry Multipurpose Adhesive Sheets.  I cut out the sheets with the Lattice die, then sprinkled them with gold glitter.  The extra glitter just brushed off leaving a perfect design.  So beautiful against the darker Cherry Cobbler bags!  We made quick tags to make a perfect gift for neighbors or the hostess of the Christmas party.

When I saw this stamp set knew I needed it!  I love the Early Espresso and gold foil and embossing powder.  It’s a fancy fold, but it still fits in a standard envelope.  The Core-dination card stock looks great with a little sanding on the wood grain embossing folder.  I love the way it turned out!

Love these flip flop cards!  I especially love that they can be made in the Labels Card Framelit.  This one has the card in landscape orientation.  Add a little sparkle with Silver Glimmer Paper and a little texture with the Petals-a-Plenty Embossing Folder.  Add an embossed ornament, punched out with the Mosaic Punch.  You have your Christmas cards practically done!

I love the Envelope Punch Board!  Sure, it makes at least 63 sized of envelopes.  But it also makes boxes of all sizes, snowmen, and gift card holders.  When you open this one up the gift card starts to life out of its pocket.  It’s become one of the tools that rate a “close at hand” place in my craft corner.

Thank you, Jackie Topa, for the idea!
