STAMPIN in the SON !!!!!

HAPPY  THANKSGIVING!!!!!

Last week we got together and stamped some cards. Well, my upline and a few fellow demonstrators did!! I was to frazzled and didn't get my act together soon enough to stamp that night, so I just hung out.  Here are a few of the cards people made!  Our group is getting so so GOOD. Next time hopefully I'll be prepared and get to play!!!!

       

    

   

For some reason the last photo of a card by my friend, Leilani, will not show itself. So in order to post this I had to remove her photo.  SORRY LEILANI!!!

Christmas SANTA Ornaments...

A while back I was making Hersey Bar Santas at work when we were slow one night. (See a previous Post for direction) Someone asked me if I could turn the Santas into ornaments and I thought  hmmm..why not.  So of course I said yes I could thinking that it wouldn't be that difficult. Someone told me they'd bring me the candy and I would just have to do the wrappers.  I thought they were going to bring me candy bars for the wrappers I had already created. SURPRISE!!! They changed it up on me and I had to start from scratch to make these babies.  The largest one holds a Payday and a Snickers bar and is folded in a triangle shape.

Punch Your Art Out..

I found a website that had over 100 different punch art designs on it!  A friend sent me the link of someone she met at convention this year and I checkerd it out.  I was working on this project  and a lady saw a couple of the punch art designs and wanted me to make her 2 cards. The results of that are below:

Hersey Bar Santa Tutorial

I saw this done at convention and decided to recreate it for an upcoming craft fair next Saturday (Nov 8th)   We start with a plain old Hersey Bar...

    

And we wind up with something that looks like this, for a stocking stuffer!!!!

Directions:Step 1: Cut Cardstock to 5 1/2" by 8" 

Step 2:  On the 5 1/2"side you are going to score the cardstock 4 times (at 1 and 5/16" -  1 and 9/16" - 3 and 7/8" -  4 and 1/8"). This will create the creases for the candy bar to slide in and out of. 

Step 3: In pic #2 (below) you are going to go up 7" on the 8" side and cut in to the 1 and 9/16" score mark on one side, and on the opposite side you will cut in until the 3" and 7/8" score mark ! Cut down on the 1 and 9/16" score mark and  on the 3 and 7/8" until you reach the prior cuts at 7".   CLEAR as MUD!  See STEP #1  Your CS should look like this!!!

 

Step 4:  Cut down, on an angle from center of square piece to 7" mark (Step #2). Do same in other direction!  Now you have your SANTA SUIT!  Wrap around your normal size candy bar!

Step 5: Santa's white cardstock belt is 1" x 5 1/2" Scored in the  same places you scored the Santa Suit in Step 2.

Step 6: His face is a white rectangle 2 x 2 1/2" rounded on one end!!! Santa's buckle is a 3/4" square punch with a 1/4" square punched out of the center. HINT: Punch 1/4" square first and then the 3/4" square around the 1/4' one!!!

Step 7: Santa's face is an oval punched out of Blush Blossom CS and the cheeks are real red ink q-tipped on! Santa's eyes are brads! The beard was drawn freehand and I applied dazzling diamonds glitter to it using a 2 way glue pen!!!
