Stamp-N-Nuggets and We're Lovin' It!

Collapsing Box Tutorial :)

I had promised this tutorial to quite a few people... finally!   Here is the tutorial that was shown at one of our many wonderful Late Night Stampers pre-Convention events. It was just so stinkin' cute and even better, it is really easy to make!     I have revised the instructions just a tad and have included full directions and pictures by clicking on the following link.  Collapsing_Box_directions_Nancy Legate

Above picture is the one I did for our October Anything-But-A-Card swap at Julie's StampAttics annual wiener roast. Below is the finished one that is shown with the above directions.  If you need supplies to help make these for your Christmas list, don't hesitate to contact me by email, phone, or real mail!

Happy Thanksgiving -- Pillow Box Basket :)

Isn't this just so stinkin' cute!?! This basket was created by one of my stampers, Karen, after coming to this month's Big Shot Club. Love it!

For directions, Download Pillowboxbasket_11-09_directions   I forgot to include in the directions... when putting paper around the outside of your basket, make sure to use Sticky Strip at least on the beginning and the ending pieces as you attach it as you need a strong tape to make sure this stays on.

I have posted other samples below for our enjoyment.  Don't forget, click on any image to enlarge it.

HAVE A HAPPY AND SAFE THANKSGIVING!!!

Ornament Punch -- November Workshop

If you think you can't make your Christmas cards as they take too much time, here's a truly 10-minute card. And isn't it just so cute?

Supplies:

Paper:  Garden Green, Real Red, Very Vanilla, Merry Moments DSP

Ink:  Old Olive, Basic Black (or Chocolate Chip)

Accessories:  Ornament Punch, Real Red Brads, Silver Elastic Cord, Dimensionals, Glue Dots

I used black ink for the Merry Christmas greeting, but you could use Chocolate Chip to coordinate with the DSP. I used dimensionals to pop my ornaments and to hold the cord at the top of the card, I rolled a glue dot to a skinny, long piced to put under the cord and attached to the card. My red piece is 2-1/2" x 5-1/2" and the DSP is 2" x 5-1/2".

Tri-Shutter Card -- October Workshop :)

I just love this card... it is yet another one that is soooooo stinkin' cute!  I learned to make this card at Sherrill's WONDERFUL pre-Convention events this year. There have been many versions and lots of posts since then.

Here's the project from Julie's October Weiner Roast. Love these colors!!!

And here's the one we made at my October workshops. I didn't have the 12"x12" card stock in Chocolate Chip, so I used what I did have, Tempting Turquoise.

Although it looks complicated, it really is an easy card to make.

1)  Cut your base at 5-1/2" x 12.

2)  Score at 2" - 4" - 8" - 10".

3)  Cut in 1" from top and bottom between the 2" and 10" score marks.

4)  Fold, stamp, and embellish.

Here's a template I made with a couple of pics to help you as well. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me :)

Scalloped Pumpkins

Aren't these just stinkin' cute??? The pattern came from our fearless leader Julie who got them from one of her stamping buddies. I love that us stampers are so willing to share.

The largest pumpkin is made with 12 of the Scallop Circle (item 113468) die cuts and the leaf is cut with the Leaves #2 (item 113459) die. I scored each scallop with our Paper Cutter (item 104152) along with the Scoring Blade (item 104154), folded, and cut off the bottom scallop on each folded circle -- or your pumpkin will roll like a ball!

The medium pumpkins are made with 12 of the larger of the 2 scallop circles on Scallop Circle #2 (113469) die.

The smallest pumpkin is made with 9 pieces punched with the Scallop Circle Punch (item 109043). The leaves are cut using the Sweetest Stem Embosslit (item 114513). You can use your leftover scraps from your larger pumpkins to make these.

I used cinnamon sticks to make the stems -- cute and smell good too! You can use very thin strips of Old Olive card stock -- cut with my Tabletop Cutter (item 106959) and curled it around a pencil. Leaves, stems, and cinnamon sticks are attached with Mini Glue Dots (item 103683).

These are sooooooooooo very quick and easy to make and I got LOTS of ooohs and aaaahs at last weekend's Party Extravaganza vendor show in Galesburg, Il 61401. Enjoy!

Can You Say FREE! :)
