Stocking Builder Punch Not Being Carried Over

Stampin' Up announced this morning that the Stocking Builder Punch (124095, page 34 Holiday Mini) will not be available after the Holiday MIni Catalog is out.  Quite a surprise, as so far most punches are carried over.  

So.....if you haven't ordered yours yet, and you would like to get it, you can do so now before the supply is gone.

Here are couple of cards I made using this punch along with the coordinating Stitched Stockings Stamp Set (WM 123782, CM 123784, page 34 Holiday Mini)

Holiday Table Favors and/or Stocking Stuffers!

Are you looking for a quick and simple table favor?  Or need something else to put in those stockings?  These could be name tags, or, as I did - sweet table favors.  We are going to be a small group this Christmas dinner, so these will be perfect!  And I made them up in about 30 minutes tonight.  I saw the idea on a fellow demonstrator's blog, Tammy Fite.  She made them and sold them at a bazaar and said they sailed out the door!!

JIll used a stamp that said "Happy Kiss Mass".  Unfortunately it must be retired because I couldn't find it, so I used Happy Holidays from the Holiday Happiness Stamp Set

Supplies:

Stamp Set: Holiday Happiness (WM 120786, CM 120792, page 34)

Card Stock:  Cherry Cobbler, Garden Green, Letters to Santa Designer Series Paper (122349, page 186), Holly Berry Bouquet Specialty Designer Series Paper (124004, page 20 Holiday Mini), Frostwood Lodge (124002, page 28 Holiday Mini)

Ink:  Cherry Cobbler

Punches:  Scallop Oval (119856, page 210, 'Large Oval (119855, page 212)

Sticky Strip Tape (104294, page 206),  Candy Kisses

Cut base paper 5" x 4" and score on the 5" side at 1 1/4", 2 1/2" and 3 3/4"

 

Cut designer paper 4" x 3 3/4" (this is wrapped around and doesn't need to be scored).

Add Sticky Strip Tape to the MIDDLE of the first scored area and to the END of the 4th scored area on the card stock.  Also add sticky strip to the 3 3/4" sides of the dsp (see picture)

 

Remove red tape and place candy kisses inside the card stock on the sticky strip

 

Fold over card stock and attach to bottom of favor

 

 

Line up  dsp on the bottom of the card stock and wrap around attaching with sticky strip to the bottom

 

Add name tag or greeting and you are done!! 

 

What a totally fun and easy addition to your holiday table!!  These can be decorated more elaborately, but it IS getting close - just five days...........so this is something SO easy and delicious!

Coaster Tiles - quick gift

Looking for a quick, last-minute gift?  Here's one that is easy and very useful!!  Coaster tiles.  I bought ceramic tiles from the local building supply store for 16c each!!  Nice.  I followed Melissa Stout's directions on how to make these.

For these tiles I used some retired designer series paper - you can use any designer paper - I wanted to use something my friend would enjoy and appreciate!

Supplies you will need:

Ceramic tiles

Modge Podge

Acrylic Sealer (I used Krylon)

Designer Series Paper of choice  cut into 4" squares

3/16" Corner Punch (119871, page 212)

Cork Sheets (119819, page 216)

Brayer (102395, page 203)

Foam Brush

Hot Glue Gun

Ribbon (for typing up your coasters for gift giving).  I used 1 1/4" Striped Grosgrain Ribbon in Soft Suede (125060, page 195)

Steps to make:

1.  Cut 4 1/4" square Cork Sheets and adhere to back of tiles with hot glue gun

2.  Corner round the designer series paper

3.  With foam brush, apply modge podge to back of designer series paper and adhere to coaster using brayer to take out any bubbles

4.   Let dry and add another layer of modge podge over top (I did two layers of modge podge - drying between layers)

5.  Spray with acrylic sealer (I did two layers)

6.  Let dry completely

7.  Tie ribbon around the set and they are ready for gifting!

Can be wiped cleaned with a damp cloth.  Shouldn't be put in the dishwasher

Let me know if you have any questions!!
