Stamping with the Stars

Gifts of the Earth

Since I first posted this tutorial, I remembered where I first saw this technique and wanted to give credit for the inspiration.  It came from Connie Collins blog, Constantly Stamping.  I get a lot of great ideas here.

This is also my entry in the Pal Paper Arts Challenge PPA12.

Here are the supplies I used:

Stamp set:  Gifts of the Earth

Paper:  Very Vanilla Natural CS, Pg. 159 #106530; Chocolate Chip CS, Pg. 156 #102128; Old Olive Cs, Pg. 156 #100702

Ink:  Chocolate Chip, Pg. 156 #100908; Summer Sun, Pg. 156 #100537; Creamy Caramel, Pg. 156 #103220; Ruby Red, Pg. 156 #102259; Old Olive, Pg. 156 #102277; Close to Cocoa, Pg. 156 #103139

Accessories:  Circle Scissor Plus, Pg. 191 #112530; Glass Mat, Pg. 191 #112531; Blender Pens, Pg. 192 #102845; Chocolate Chip 1-1/4" Striped Grosgrain Ribbon, Pg. 183 #115617; Old Olive 1/4" Grosgrain Ribbon, Pg. 183 #111368; Snail Adhesive, Pg. 192 #104332; Stampin' Dimensionals, Pg. 192 #104430; Stamp-a-ma-jig, Pg. 191 #101049; Sponge Daubers, Pg. 192 #102892; Tombow Multi-Purpose Adhesive, Pg. 192 #110755; Covered Button Kit from local fabric store.

Cut Very Vanilla Natural CS 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and score at 4-1/4" to form the card base.

Follow the directions on the package to cover a button.  I used size 30 for my button.  The ribbon wasn't wide enough to use the circle template that came with the kit, but it's just wide enough to cover the button for a card.  (I wouldn't recommend trying it with anything you want to wash, though.)  Also,I  used a little Tombow Adhesive on the cut edges to keep them from fraying.

Next wrap the 1/4" Old Olive Grosgain around a piece of 4" x 5-1/4" Chocolate Chip CS.

Thread a 5"  piece of 1/4" Old Olive Grosgain Ribbon through the covered button. 

Cut a 5-1/2" piece of Chocolate Chip Striped Grosgrain.  Wrap the Old Olive ribbon around the middle, tying it in back as shown.

Wrap the Striped Grosgrain around the card front as shown and tape in back.

Trim the ends of the Old Olive ribbon.

Use the Circle Scissor Plus to  cut a 2-1/2" circle from Very Vanilla Natural CS.  Center the image on the circle using the Stamp-a-ma-jig.  Squeeze the inkpad to deposit ink on the inside cover of the inkpad.  Pick up a small amount of the ink with a Blender Pen and color the image as desired.  Ink around the edges with Close to Cocoa.

Layer onto a 2-3/4" Old Olive circle.  Ink around the edges and attach to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals.

Attach the card front to the card base.

That's it for today. I hope you enjoyed the tutorial.  Thanks a bunch for stopping by.

Gift Card Wallet and Calendar

Hi Readers---Im baaaaack!!! I'm so glad you didn't give up on me yet.  I guess I caught a bug this weekend, because I really felt crummy for a few days.  I'm still a little sluggish today, so I'm going to show you a project I made with one of Becky Roberts  12 Days of Christmas projects.  Since I didn't create the pattern, I'll just show you how I made it my own.  If you'd like the full tutorial, click on the link above. 

One more thing---my new bff over at Six Apart installed that handy little FeedBurner link on the right, so you can be notified by email when I post a new article. 

I wanted to make sure my gift card holder wouldn't be tossed out right away, so I added a little calendar inside.  Once the gift card is used, the 'giftee' can use the pocket to hold something else.

Here are the supplies I used:

Stamp sets:  True Friend, Pg.122 #110378; Totally Tabs, Pg. 129 #113820

Paper: Autumn Meadows, Holiday Mini-Catalog, Pg. 13 #116769; Chocolate Chip CS, Pg. 156 #102128; Really Rust CS, Pg. 156 #100661; Taken with Teal CS, Pg. 157 #101584; Very Vanilla CS, Pg. 155 #101650

Ink:  Chocolate Chip, Pg. 156 #100908; Really Rust, Pg.156 #102549; Chocolate Chip Craft Pad, Pg. 156 #101816

Accessories:  3/16" Corner Rounder Punch, Pg. 186 #109047; Round Tab Punch, Pg. 186 #108340; Snail Adhesive, Pg. 192 #104332; Sticky Strip, Pg. 192 #104294; Sponge Daubers, Pg. 192 #102892; Styled Vanilla Hodgepodge Hardware, Pg. 178 #112454; Magnet Snaps, purchased at local craft store; 3-1/8" x 2" calendars purchased online.

I layered the calendar onto 3-3/8" x 2-1/4" Taken with Teal cardstock and attached it to the enclosure card pocket with Sticky Strip.

Press one of the flowered brads in the Styled Vanilla Hodgepodge Hardware Kit into the Chocolate Chip Craft Pad.  Wipe off the excess to create the antiqued look.

I originally planned to insert the brad into the 3/4" circle and use wire snips to trim the ends, but I kind of like the look of the ends sticking out, so I left them. Kind of looks like a button hole, doesn't it?  Because the Styled Vanilla is coated, the ends aren't sharp.

Attach the brad to the wallet closure.

Attach the magnetic snap to the back of the wallet closure.  To line it up with the wallet, I placed the opposite magnetic snap on top of the first one.  Then I peeled off the backing and shut the wallet, attaching the snap to the wallet.

Now I have to go downstairs and make 24 of these for my sister.  (I owe her for hanging a ceiling fan for me. lol)

Thanks for stopping by.

Chicken Golf and United Way Fundraiser

What is Chicken Golf you say?  Well, every October employees at the City of Coon Rapids hold a Chicken Golf Tournament to raise funds for the United Way.  Here's the catch:  We play with Playschool golf sets.  We have tons of fun and it's for a good cause.That's me in the picture playing in the very first Chicken Golf Tournament about a hundred years ago.  (That's the former Mayor checking out my 'putt'. hee hee)  I'm retired now, but they still let me play in the tournament so that's where I'll be today instead of craftin' and bloggin'.

We also have a Silent Auction.  All items are donated and this year I'm donating a basket of Stampin' Up! goodies. 

Here is  a close-up of the sign I created in My Digital Studio using one of their pre-designed greeting card images.

Okay, that's it for today.  I'll be back tomorrow with a new tutorial.

Scallop Box and Cards

The inspiration for this project came from Darla's Sweet Always Envelope Box Tutorial.  The cards are my own and I used different papers and embellishments, but the box design is Darla's.

Here are the supplies I used:

Stamp Set:  Of the Earth, Hostess Level 1,Pg. 13 #115336

 

Paper:  Thoroughly Modern DSP, Pg. 163 #115673; Whisper White CS, Pg. 155 #100730; Sahara Sand CS, Pg. 155 #105328; Bermuda Bay CS, Pg. 155 #115317

 

Ink:  Bermuda Bay, Pg. 155 #115655; Soft Suede, pg. 155 #115657; Sahara Sand, Pg. 155 #105208; Rose Red, Pg.157 #101778

 

Accessories:  Big Shot Die-Cut Machine, Pg. 194 #113439; Scallop Envelope Die, Pg. 198 #113462; Boho Blossoms Punch, Pg. 186 #110711; 1/2" Circle Punch, Pg. 186 #104390;  Punches Plus Brass Templates, Pg. 188 #109539; Stylus, Pg. 188 #100663; Light Table, Pg. 188 #102888; Paper-Piercing Tool, Pg. 191 #116631; Bermuda Bay Polka-Dot Grosgrain Ribbon, Pg. 182 #115610; Soft Suede Polka-Dot Grosgrain Ribbon, Pg. 182 #115612; Build-A-Brad Kit, Pg. 178 #109128; Sticky Strip, Pg. 192 #104294; Snail Adhesive, Pg. 192 #104332; Stampin’ Dimensionals, Pg. 192

3104430; Sponge Daubers, Pg. 192 #102892; Stamp-a-ma-jig, Pg. 191 #101049; Painter's Tape

The cardstock and paper was cut as follows:

Bermuda Bay CS:  2 each die-cut Scalloped Envelopes; 2 each 2-1/4 x 1-5/8"

Whisper White CS:  4 each 3" x 6", scored @ 3" to form card base; 4 each 2" x 2"; 4 each 1" x 1"

Sahara Sand CS:  4 each 2-1/4" x 2-1/4"; 1 each 1-5/8" x 3".

Thouroughly Modern DSP: 4 each 2-7/8" x 2-7/8"; 1 each 2-3/4" x 1-1/2"; 1 blossom from Boho Blossoms Punch

Ink around all edges with Sahara Sand.

  The first time I used the brass templates I just taped it to the light table and placed the cardstock over it, but the paper-piercing and embossing wasn't deep enough and didn't show up very well.  To raise the template, I layer four pieces of painter's tape about 4" long.  I cut the layered tape down the middle and then cut those two pieces in half to make four 2" pieces of layered tape.

Stick the four sections to the underside of the template around the shape you're using as shown.

Now, flip it over and tape it to the light table with masking or painter's tape. 

 

Turn on the light table and center the 2" x 2" Whisper White CS.  Using the large end of the stylus, emboss the sqare as shown. Use the paper-piercing tool to pierce the holes.

 

Keep the painter's tape strips with the brass template for future use.

Use the Stamp-a-ma-jig to stamp the image on the 1" x 1" Whisper White CS squares.

 

Now layer the 2-1/4" x 2-1/4" Sahara Sand on top of the 2-7/8" x 2-7/8" designer paper.  Wrap ribbon around the layered pieces and tape in back.  Attach to the card front with Snail.

 

Attach dimensionals on either side of the ribbon as shown and attach the 1" square images.

The scallop edge will be folded forward as shown in the finished box, so make sure the right side of the scallop will be facing the front when folded. Use Sticky Strip to attach the 2-1/4" x 1-5/8" pieces to the side tabs front as shown. 

 

Attach to the back envelope, making sure the front of the scallop faces the front of the box.

Layer 2-3/4" x 1-1/2" designer paper onto 3" x 1-5/8" Sahara Sand and attach to front of box. 

Punch 1/2" circle from designer paper and attach to the Build-A-Brad following the kit directions.

Position the Boho Blossom over front scallop and pierce through both pieces.  Attach brad.  To keep the front fold in place, place a dimensional over the brad in back and stick to box front.

Wrap ribbon around box and tie in box as shown.

Add the cards and envelopes we're all done!

Thanks for checking out my blog today.

Snow Globe Ornament Card

When  I posted the  Turkey Treats tutorial, one of my club members challenged me to design a card using the Sweet Treat Cup as a snow globe.  I don’t know if this counts (Karen can be pretty fussy about these things, lol), but we’ll call it a snow globe ornament, okay?

 

Here are the supplies I used:

 

Stamp set:  Scenic Season, Pg. 35 #115354

 

Paper:  Whisper White CS, Pg. 155 #100730

 

Ink:  Handsome Hunter, Pg. 157 #105215; Real Red Stampin’ Write Marker, Pg. 156 #100052

 

Accessories:  Sweet Treat Cups, Holiday Mini-Catalog, Pg. 7 #116802; Dazzling Diamonds, Pg. 180 #102023; Gold Elastic Cord, Holiday Mini-Catalog, Pg. 27 #109867; Real Red Grosgrain Ribbon, Pg. 183 #109034;  Pretties Kit, Pg. 178 #109114; Snail Adhesive, Pg. 192 #104332; Stampin' Dimensionals, Pg. 192 #104430;  1-3/4” Circle Punch, Pg. 186 #112004; Mini Glue Dots, Pg. 192 #103683; 2-Way Glue Pen, Pg. 192 #100425;  Craft Spray Adhesive from craft store.

 

Cut Whisper White CS 8-1/5” x5-1/2” and score at 4-1/4” to create the card base.

Pour Dazzling Diamonds into the Treat Cup and shake it around so it sticks to the cup.  Pour the Dazzling Diamonds out.  Static will coat the cup with Dazzling Diamonds.  Now lightly spray the inside of the cup with spray adhesive.

Stamp two images from the Scenic Season stamp set on 4” x 5-1/4”  Whisper White CS.  I covered the bird while I applied the Handsome Hunter and then used the Real Red marker to color it in.

 

One image will be used for the card front.  On this piece, use the 1-3/4” circle punch to punch out a circle. 

Cut the other image down to about 2-3/4” x 2-3/4”.  Attach the Sweet Treat Cup, carefully centering the cup over the part of the image that was punched out of the card front.

Wrap a short piece of gold cord around the card front at the top of the globe as shown and tape in back.  Tie a bow in another piece of gold cord.  I used ½ of a mini glue dot to attach the bow over the cord.  Take another piece of gold cord and tie a knot in one end.  Thread a Clear Teardrop from the Pretties Kit on the cord.  Tape one end on the back of the card front.  Wrap the teardrop to the card front and attach with a mini glue dot.  Use Snail to attach the Sweet Treat Cup to the card front.  Ink around the edges with Handsome Hunter.  Use 2-Way Glue Pen to add Dazzling Diamonds to the image.

 

Wrap Real Red Grosgrain Ribbon as shown and tie a bow.  Attach to the card base with Stampin' Dimensionals.

 

That’s it.  Karen will be receiving this card on Friday for giving me a great challenge.

 

Thanks for stopping by today.

Lots of Bots

I love when I can combine two challenges in one.  The inspiration for this layout is the Mojo Monday 107 challenge found here: Mojo Madness 107, and the embossed aluminum foil is the Technique Lovers Challenge found here: TLC 240: Foil Embossing.

I'm not getting much blogging done today because my four-year-old granddaughter is visiting. 

Please check back later for a  tutorial (after the Vikings game).

I'm back! How about those Vikings?  I take back everything I ever said about Brett Favre! Lol

Okay, enough of that, here is the tutorial I promised.

 

Here are the supplies I used: Stamp set: Lots of Bots, Pg. 82, #115293

 

Paper:  Brushed Silver CS, Pg. 159 #100712; Basic Black, Pg. 155 #102851; Whisper White CS, Pg. 155 #100730

 

Ink :  Jet Black Staz-On, Pg. 190 #101406

 

Accessories: Circle Scissors Plus, Pg. 191 #112530; Glass Mat, Pg. 191 #112531; Big Shot Die-Cut Machine, Pg. 194 #113439; Stampin’ Up! Backgrounds 1 Texturz Plates, Pg. 195 #114512; VersaMark Pad, Pg. 190 #102283; VersaMarker, Pg. 190 #100901; Silver Embossing Powder, Pg. 188 #109131; Heat Tool, Pg. 188 #100005; Embossing Buddy, Pg. 188 #103083; Mat Pack, Pg. 191 #105826; Paper-Piercing Tool, Pg. 191 #116631; Snail Adhesive, Pg. 192 #104332; Stampin’ Dimensionals, Pg. 192 #104430; Stamp-a-ma-jig, Pg. 191 #101049; Sponge Daubers, Pg. 192 #102892; Silver Brads, Pg. 179 #104336; Aluminum Foil, Needle, Optional: Xyron Machine.

 

Cut cardstock (any color) 1-3/4” x 2-1/4”. To attach the foil to the cardstock, you could cut the cardstock to size and wrap the foil over the front a tape in back. I cut cardstock larger than I needed, ran it through the Xyron and attached the foil before cutting it to size.

Place the foil covered CS face down on the Texturz plate and emboss.

Cut the remaining pieces as follows:

 

Brushed Silver CS: One each 3-3/4” x 5-1/8”, ½” x 5-1/4” and 3/8” x 1-1/4”.  Use Circle Scissors to cut a 2” circle.

 

Basic Black CS: Two each 2” x 3-1/4”, one each 5-1/4” x 4”,  ½” x 1-1/4” and ¾” x 5-1/4”.  Use Circle Scissors to cut a  2-1/8” circle.

 

Whisper White CS: 8-1/2" x 5-1/2", scored at 4-1/4" to create card base.

Use Stamp-a-ma-jig to position computer code (?) on ½” x 5-1/4” Brushed Silver CS. Stamp with VersaMark and heat emboss with Silver Embossing Powder. You only have to stamp the ends because the center will be covered.  Lightly ink the image with the Sponge Dauber.

 

Use Stamp-a-ma-jig to position the robot image on the 2” Brushed Silver circle.  Stamp with VersaMark and heat emboss with Silver Embossing Powder.  Fill in the image with the VersaMarker to make the image a little darker than the Brushed Silver CS.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Use Snail to attach the 3-3/4” x 5-1/8” Brushed Silver CS to the 5-1/4” x 4” Basic Black CS. 

Use Snail to attach the foil-embossed pieces to the 2” x 3-3/4” Basic Black CS as shown.  Use the Mat Pack and Paper-Piercing Tool to attach the Silver Brads. Attach to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Attach the ½” x 5-1/4” Brushed Silver strip to the ¾” x 5-1/4” Basic Black strip. 

 

Use Stampin’ Dimensionals on the ends to attach to the card front.

 

Use Stamp-a-ma-jig to position the Happy Birthday, Human sentiment to the 3/8” x 1-1/4” Brushed Silver CS. Attach to the ½” x 1-14/” Basic Black CS with Snail.  Use Mat Pack and needle to pierce holes in the Basic Black as shown.  Attach this piece to a piece of 1-5/15" x 5/8" foil-embossed CS . Ink around the edges and attach to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

 

Layer the Robot image on the Basic Black circle and attach to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

 

 

 

 

 

I hope you enjoyed this project as much as I did!

 

Thanks for stopping by today.

Crazy Quilt Card

The top note quilt card wasn't new when I saw it on Diana Gibb's blog last February, but it's my first attempt.  I decided to do it now because I have the perfect occasion to use it.  In a couple of weeks our monthly craft luncheon will begin again after the summer break and these would make great reminders to send out, since most of the others in the group are quilters.

Here are the supplies I used:

Stamp set:  Quilt Quips, not in the catalog, but still available on the Dormant List, #113240

Paper:  Patterns Designer Series Paper (DSP), Pg. 160, in the following colors: Old Olive, 112160; Chocolate Chip, #112164; Crushed Curry, #115686; Dusty Durango, #115689; Dusty Durango Cardstock (CS), pg. 155 #115321; Whisper White, Pg. 155 #100730; Chocolate Chip CS, Pg. 156 #102128

Ink: Chocolate Chip, Pg. 156 #100908; Old Olive, Pg. 156 #102277; Dusty Durango, Pg. 155 #115654; Chocolate Chip Stampin' Write Marker, Pg. 156 #100071

Accessories:  Big Shot Die-Cut Machine, Pg. 194 #113439; Top Note Die, Pg. 198 #113463; Dusty Durango Polka-Dot Ribbon, Pg. 182 #115609; Stampin' Dimensionals, Pg. 192 #104430; Snail Adhesive, Pg. 192 #104332; Sponge Daubers, Pg. 192 #102892; Blender Pen, Pg. 192 #102845; 1-1/4" Punch, Pg. 186 #104403; Scallop Edge Punch, Pg. 186 #112091; Perfect Details Texturz Plates, Pg. 195 #115962; Standard Silicone Rubber, Pg. 194 #114615; Standard Texturz Impressions Pad, Pg. 194 #114614; Optional Xyron machine; Optional Small Tag Punch, Pg. 186 #108264; Stapler

Cut Whisper White CS 3-3/4" x 5".

You'll need 12 1-1/4" x 1-1/4" squares.  You could cut them in strips, but I found it easier, and more accurate, to punch them out.  Ink around the edges with Chocolate Chip and arrange them as desired.

Now you could use Snail to attach the squares to the 3-3/4" x 5" Whisper White CS.  Since I need to make about 10 of these cards, I took a short cut.  I put a tiny bit of temporary adhesive on the front of each piece and laid a sheet of scrap paper on top. Then I ran it through my Xyron machine.

Attach the squares to the 3-3/4" x 5 Whisper White.

Lay this piece face down on the Top Note Die. you may want to use a white gel pen to mark the points on the die so you can line them up with the seams of the squares.  I also marked the seam on the wrong side.

Now place the die-cut piece face down on the the Texturz Plate.  Layer the silicone rubber and impressions pad on top.  Place on Tab #1 of the Multipurpose Platform (Included with Stampin' Up! Big Shot Die-Cut Machine).  If you very lightly spritz the back of the piece with water before running it through the machine, you'll get a better imprint.

Ink around the edges and, if desired, use the Chocolate Chip marker to mark "stitches" around the squares.

Cut  Chocolate Chip CS 4" x 5-1/4". To get the fancy corners, I turned the Scallop Edge Punch over and centered the corner over one of the scallops.  Repeat for all four corners.

 Wrap Dusty Durango Polka Dot ribbon across the front as shown and tape in back.  Use Snail to attach to card front.  use the leftover edges of Stampin' Dimensionals to attach the die-cut piece to the card front.  I recommend adding a few more dimensionals to the center.  (I didn't for my card, but I wish I had.)

The quilt square image measures 1-3/16' x 1-3/16".  Instead of trying to center the image on the square, I stamped it on Whisper White with Chocolate Chip ink and punched it out with the Small Tag Punch. Then I just cut off the top of the tag.  Use a Bender Pen to color in the image as desired. Layer this piece onto 1-1/4" x 1-1/4" Dusty Durange CS with Stampin' Dimensionals.

 Cut Whisper White CS 1" x 2" and use the Stamp-a-ma-jig to center the sentiment.  Stamp with Chocolate Chip and ink around the edges. Staple ribbon to this piece and layer onto Dusty Durange.  Use Snail to attach to the front of the card.

All done!  Thanks for letting me share an "oldie but goodie" today.

A Piece of Art

 
 
I came very close to naming my blog "A Piece of Art".  That's what my granddaughter calls all of her artwork that she brings me.  I used one of my favorite "pieces of art" as custom background paper in this 8" x 8" layout I created with My Digital Studio.  Don't you love all of the detail she puts into her artwork?  I especially love the butterfly in the lower right corner.  I'm sorry, but even Stampin' Up! can't top that.  Okay, I might be bragging just a little, but it's my blog, so there.  lol

It would have been fun to use the same drawing she's pointing to in the photo as background paper, but I think her other grandma got that one.  Oh well, I guess even grownups have to share...

I hope you enjoyed this little "Piece of Art".   I'll be back with another tutorial soon.  Looks like it's going to be cold and rainy tomorrow, so it'll be a good day to spend in my craft room.

My Digital Studio Now Available

Today the My Digital Studio software finally became available to Stampin' Up! customers.  I have to admit I've been a little slow trying it out.  This is my first 8" x 8" scrapbook page.  Of course, you can't go wrong when you have such an adorable granddaughter! 

First I added a bottom border found under Torn Edges in the MDS stamp sets and chose Bermuda Bay for the color.  Then I added a texture to the paper using the Texture stamp. I inserted the photos and added a Bermuda Bay mat to each.  The Bermuda Bay and So Saffron grosgraine ribbon and bow are in the Embellishment collection.  The butterfly is from the For All You Do stamp set using So Saffron.  All of the page elements have a Drop Shadow set at about 55% with a soft blur.  I wanted to darken the edges a little, so I opened the page in PhotoShop Elements and "burned" the edges.

Trust me, it's not nearly as complicated as it may sound.  This software is incredibly easy to use.  If you don't want to create your own pages, there are many pre-made pages you can use, even whole scrapbooks!  When you're done, you can either print your scrapbook at home, or have it printed at the Stampin' Up! print facility and delivered to your door.

You can find a video introduction to My Digital Studio here: My Digital Studio Introduction.  While you're at my Stampin' Up! website, check out the Special Promotions this month.

Also, be sure to check out the new Stampin' Up! Clearance Rack.

I'll be back tomorrow with another page featuring my other adorable granddaughter!

Thanks for stopping by.

Treats from the Crypt

 I was busy getting kits ready for a workshop tomorrow, so today's post will be short and sweet. Still, I think it's kind of cute.

You can find instructions for assembling the Bitty Box on my September 17th post here: My First Kiss Challenge, so I won't repeat them on this post.

Here are the supplies I used:

Stamp sets: From the Crypt, Pg. 21 #115460; Eat, Drink & Be Scary, Pg. 25 #111764

Paper:  Cast-A-Spell DSP, Pg. 161 #115677; Basic Black CS, Pg. 155 #102851; Old Olive CS, Pg. 156 #100702

Ink:  Basic Black, Pg. 155 #101179

Accessories, Pg. Big Sho Die-Cut Machine, Pg. 194 #113439; Extended Cutting Pads, pg. 194 #113478, Extended Premium Crease Pad, Pg. 194 #117630; Bitty Box & Envelope Die, Pg. 201 #115967; Circle Fire Rhinestones, Pg. 179 #109110; Snail Adhesive, Pg. 192 #104332; Stampin' Dimensionals, Pg. 192 #104430; Sponge Daubers, Pg. 192 #102892; Paper-Piercing Tool, Pg. 190 #116631

Follow the instructions on the earlier post to assemble the Bitty Box. (You may find it easier to attach the DSP pieces before assembling the box.)

Cut DSP 2" x 2" and stamp skull image for box cover.  Ink around the edges and attach to 2-1/8" x 2-1/8" Old Olive with Snail.  Use Paper-Piercing Tool to attach a rhinestone over the eye. Attach to the box cover with Stampin' dimensionals.

Cut DSP 2" x 2" and stamp inside image.  Ink around the edges and attach to inside cover.

Cut four pieces DSP 1/2" x 2-1/8".  Ink around the edges and attach to box sides with Snail.

Fill with candy and you're all done!

That's it for today. I guess it still counts as today, although it's ten minutes 'til midnight!

Thanks for stopping by.
