December Project details

For those who were unable to make it to this month's meeting, here are the projects that we did. I made them for Heather, Leah, and Jodi, so this will just tell you what supplies we used, with a link to the pattern for the mini milk carton directions.

This is an ornament made from an old CD. They look great on the tree.
Stamps: Holy Triptych
Ink: Chocolate Chip, Versamark
Paper: Garden Green, Very Vanilla, Holiday Treasures Designer Series Paper
Accessories: Jumbo Antique Brass eyelets, Metallic eyelets, Crop-A-Dile, Riding Hood Red Striped grosgrain ribbon, Very Vanilla taffeta ribbon, heat gun, embossing buddy, Iridescent Ice embossing powder

This is a photo cube. I made the matting to fit 2" square photos. The really nice thing about these is they fold flat for mailing or storage. Here is the link to the tutorial from the resources area on splitcoaststampers.com

Paper: Garden Green, Riding Hood Red, Whisper White
Ink: Garden Green, Riding Hood Red
Accessories: Ticket Corner punch, Crop-A-Dile, Square Rhinestone brads, scoring blade for paper cutter, Red Line sticky tape, Boho Blossom punch, Snow Blossom punch


I thought we would try a different size page this time, and I just love this Frosty Days paper with all of these great bright colors! You could layer this 8-1/2x11 page on a 12x12 if you want also.
Stamps: Snow Burst, Lowercase Typeset Alpha (sorry-retired)
Paper: Tangerine Tango, Close to Cocoa, Frosty Days Designer Series paper
Ink: Close to Cocoa, Chocolate Chip, Tangerine Tango

And the final project, these adorable Mini Milk Cartons designed by Rochelle Wick and you can find the instructions here.
Thanks Rochelle!

Paper: Kraft, Always Artichoke, Whisper White
Ink: Ruby Red, Close To Cocoa, Always Artichoke
Accessories: 1", 1-1/4", 1-3/8" circle punches, various ribbons, dimensionals, staples and stapler to close the top

I hope you all enjoy these projects. I HAVE to go to bed now, lol!

Preview of December projects

Club is tomorrow! Can you believe it?! I have 2 projects to tease you with for the meeting, and I hope everyone can make it, it's going to be a good one :)

This is an ornament for the tree, made with a junk CD. It looks great on my tree at home. If you have a Crop-A-DIle, bring it with to speed things along.

And this is a photo cube that folds down for storage or mailing. This one is matted for 2" square photos. There is room for 5 pictures, or 4 pictures and a greeting. I suppose you could put one on the bottom too if you wanted, but we won't be at club.

Tea/photo/gift card Card

Ok, so I live in a family of pack rats, I'll just tell you this right up front. Even my kids are pack rats. I am trying to be a pack rat in recovery, lol! So yesterday when I was cleaning in our great room (which doubles as a stamping room, rec room, and living room), I found a box of business sized and personal letter sized envies my 16 y/o son brought home from a yard sale he was helping at. These envies didn't sell, probably because they were all sealed shut from the humidity at some point! Useless right? I can through them away, right? Nope, I remembered that I could use the business sized ones for the Cocoa cards and not even have the lick the yucky glue to seal them before cutting them up! Ok, so I can throw the small envies now. Nope! Brilliance strikes and I figure I can make little cocoa cards for tea packets. Well, I had to sit down and make some almost right away and guess what. You can fit wallet sized photos, gift cards, money, and/or a little note in these things! So cute!

Here it is with a packet of tea and a couple of wallet sized pics of my daughter in her Junior ROTC uniform from a couple years ago. Yes, my totally hippie daughter was once in Junior ROTC and actually considered joining the military. :) I did a video tutorial for the Cocoa card here.

Stamps: A Cardinal Christmas

Paper: cream colored 3-5/8"x6-1/2" envelope, Very Vanilla, Kiwi Kiss

Ink: Basic Brown, Kiwi Kiss, Old Olive and Ruby Red with Aquapainter, Real Red and Pumpkin Pie markers

Accessories: Riding Hood Red ribbon, Aquapainter, paper crimper, stapler.

First cut your envelope into 2 pieces, one 3" long and the other 3-1/2" inches long. The longer piece will fit into the shorter piece.

For the card "front" (the shorter piece)I watercolored the image with Ruby Red classic ink, and then on this one I used the Old Olive and Real Red markers to color the branches and berries. I did a different one watercoloring the branches with Old Olive and I liked that effect better. I highlighted the berries with a dot of white gel pen. Inked the edges of the image pieces with Basic Brown. Adhered the ribbon all the way around with Tape Runner, then adhered image to card.
Now, I stamped the branch shadow image in Kiwi Kiss repeatedly on front and back of the longer piece. Run piece trough paper crimper. Take an approx. 2" long piece of ribbon, fold in half over closed end of piece, and staple it on.

All Done!
