Owl-y Fun!

Posted on October 8, 2008October 6, 2008 by Josee

I’ve been so caught up with Christmas, I almost forgot Halloween. These little treat bags have been shared around various blogs lately and today I decided, I just had to make one! They are just Owl-Y fun, aren’t they?

Here’s a quick "how-to" to making this adorable Halloween treat bag!

For this fun project…all you need is various punched out shapes:
1x Big Shot Top Note Die-Creamy Caramel Cardstock
2x Whisper White 1 1/4" Circles (For eyes)
2x Basic Black 1" Circles (For eyes)
1x Whisper White Double Circle Punch (For eyes)
2x Sahara Sand 1 1/4" Circles (For eyelids)
2x Pumpkin Pie 5 Petal Flower Punch (For feet and nose)
3x Sahara Sand Scallop Circles (For beard)
 
 

Here’s how to create your nose and feet:
For the feet-Start with your 5 Petal Flower and cut off 2 of the petals. (Right photo)
For the nose-Use the 2 left-over petals just cut off and cut one off to create your nose. (Center photo)

 

Creating your eyelids:
First Step-Use temporary adhesive to glue both 1 1/4" circles together and then on to a scrap piece of cardstock.
Second Step-Punch out the bottom part of your circles using the 1 1/4" punch.

Final Tips:
*I used glue dots to adhere the feet to the bottom of the Small Stampin’ Up! Cello Bag
*I stapled the back side of the topper to the bag and then used a couple more glue dots to hold down the front.

Stamping Tip: Trimming your stamps

Posted on October 7, 2008October 5, 2008 by Josee

 

Now that many of the Stampin’ Up! stamps come Die-Cut, it’s easy to think that you don’t have to trim your stamps. I know that many Die-Cut stamps really don’t need the extra trimming as they really are close to the image BUT sometimes a stamp needs that extra bit of work to make it stamp without a "shadow"…you know what I’m talking about, right? Those nasty little lines that appear around your images when you stamp them on your paper.

Today’s Tip show’s you how to trim your stamps so you don’t have to worry about those lines.

Here’s how the Stampin’ Up! Die Cut rubber starts. You just get to just POP them out of the rubber. For trimming, you’ll need a very sharp pair of scissors….and I can honestly say-if you’ve had trouble with this step in the past-you’ll want the Stampin’ Up! Craft and Rubber Scissors on page 192. They really do cut like BUTTER!
 

Ok so once you’ve popped it out…if you find that the edges have a lot of left-over rubber like this, you’ll want to trim the image a bit before mounting it to the wood block supplied.

Grab out your scissors and start cutting around your image. (Because you want the rubber and foam mount to be equal size, make sure you keep your scissors perfectly vertical.)

Once your done, the edges of your stamp won’t look as smooth, but, I guarantee that you’ll get better images on your paper!

Hope you enjoyed this tip!
