Michelle's Stampin’ Up! Site

I’ve seen quite a few very cute cards with the elf made from the ornament punch. Figured I’d jump on the band wagon.

This will be the only project we make at next month’s club meeting. We are having a cookie swap along with a yankee swap so we won’t have time for three projects.

The elf is made with three punches. The ornament punch, the 5 petal punch and a 1/4″ circle punch. The scallop is the Sizzix big scallop die that Stampin’ Up? carries.  I did the circles with the Circle Scissors.  The paper is the DSP Merrry Moments and Real Red card stock. I put glitter on the rim of his hat as well.  I tried the shimmer paint, but I’m a glitter girl!

The clever thing about this card is that I used the slit punch on the scallop so you could slip a gift card in the back.  I’ve seen other cards where the designer put 1/2 a scallop on the back to slide the gift card in. This was a lot easier to do.  It makes a great ornament on the tree as well!  I also used a 1/2 pearl from the Pretties Kit for his pom pom.  There was a lot to this simple card!!!

We did these ornaments last year with the scallop circle punch. It looks even prettier using the Ornament punch! I punched out 8 ornaments and used a glue dot for pearl.

We will be doing these for our final project for tomorrow night’s club meeting.

Supplies: Ornament Punch, any ink color, silver cord and pearls from the Pretties Kit.

When I bring home made breads to someone’s house, I just don’t like to place it in a bag and dump it on the table.  I saw a few of these made on SC, but their dimensions didn’t fit my Pampered Chef stone loaf pan.  The papers used are Taken With Teal and Holiday Lounge.  The stamp is last year’s Country Living set.  I’m REALLY glad I got that set because it works PERFECT on food gifts!

Finally getting back into the swing of things in my stamp room!

This is the ornament I will be including in the Nov 20th class.  It took me quite some time to figure out what to do with it.  I have one space left in the class, so if you want to find out how I got the snowflake inside the ornament to look like it’s floating, sign up for the class!!!

I will be selling the project sheet on this workshop after Nov 20th.  Look for it in my upcoming store.
