I addition to needing a bazillion birthday and irreverent cards for my show next weekend, I also have my December Stamp Camps the weekend after that, so, you see, I really REALLY do need to get my rear in gear this weekend.
This morning I wanted to try this idea from Mary Fish for one of my Stamp Camp projects. I told The Ladies that we'd probably do packaging or last-minute things they could make with materials they already have. I also expedite the December order so if they feel the need to shop based on the Stamp Camp's projects, I am here to enable. It's what I do.
So here is my version of Mary Fish's project:
You can see a Hershey's Nugget fits perfectly inside one of these tiny boxes:
I'm not sure who enables who(m) with these things. Do Demos figure out what products perfectly fit the candy on hand? Do candy-makers "inspire" punch- and die-makers to make the perfect tools for us? It's a conspiracy, no matter which way you slice it. All I know is I must have extra chocolate on hand for these projects, because some candy will disappear during the process. "Mistakes", you know. ;)
In other news, I got a clue about some of the UFOs on my table. I did this with those folded paper wreaths I made the other day:
I also realized all was not lost with the embossed snowflake cards. I can't stamp on the embossed surface, but I can stick something to it! So I salvaged my crookedly-stamped sentiments from other pieces of paper by punching them out, layering them with blue and making these:
I hope to actually make some birthday and irreverent cards today in between loads of laundry. Yes, my life is so very glamorous. I also plan to have a turkey + cranberry sandwich for lunch, washed down by a mini pumpkin pie. I love leftovers!
I'll be back later with more schtuff! Thanks for stopping by!
Love your wreath ornament! Can you share the directions? I looked for them on the internet but the ones I found weren't as cute as the one you made. Thanks!
