December Stamping Escape Projects

Last Thursday I met with some amazing women for the Stamping Escape Class of 2014.  We made quick last minute Christmas projects that would make great gifts.


I can't take credit for this adorable stamped candle.  It's the creation of my friend and fellow Stampin' Up! Demonstrator, Kathy Howes.  A dollar store candle, a piece of white tissue paper, stamps, markers, a piece of waxed paper and a heat tool and you have a great gift!

Stamps:  Bearing Gifts


This adorable little box was made using the Curvy Box Thinlits die out of the Holiday Catalog.  I got the idea from here, but updated it by using the current small heart punch for the beak and adding a stamped tag (the tag comes with the die) using the stamp set, Christmas Tagables.  This is a great way to use those punches!

Finally, we made a quick gift bag using the Petite Cafe Gift Bags also from the Holiday Catalog.  They are food-safe lined, so they are great to put baked goods inside!  This one is taken directly from Stampin' Up!, I just used  a piece of DSP instead of cutting a shape out of the bag.  No stamps this time, but the star is from the Stars Framelits dies, and the "Noel" is from the Wonderful Wreath Framelits dies.

Thanks for stopping by.
Happy stamping!

2011 Desktop Calendar

This month in my stamp club meetings, I had the gals make these desktop calendars. It was a big hit. The image to the left of the calendar can be changed according to the season (winter, spring, summer & fall) by removing the image and placing one of the other 3 onto the velcro dot (attached behind the image). The corresponding side of the velcro dot is placed on the back side of the images. I used the stamp set A Flower for all Seasons , #111592, $14.95. And, the extra images are stored inside in a small cellophane bag. The calendar base takes only 1 sheet of card stock to make, measuring 9" x 6-1/2". With simple scoring and folding, it goes together very quickly. Another demonstrator had shared the calendar file that is printed onto printer paper and cut to size. All fit into the 1/2" library clip from the clips assortment (#112580; $6.95). There are 8 of them included in the package along with a couple of other style of paper clips. While they are still ...
