Thanksgiving Place Cards

The boys and I wanted to do something fun and crafty for Thanksgiving, so I thought of place cards.   They were super easy to make and we had a lot of fun making them; especially the using the Big Shot and "sponging" the Top Note.    All we had left to do is add the names.

Color your Silver Glimmer Paper

One of my uplines (Thank you Carol - you are AWESOME) shared a new technique with me and I had to try it right away.  By using some reinker, small amount of water, an aquapainter, and a Heat Tool you can dye the Stampin Up! Silver Glimmer Paper (#124005).   
FABULOUS, don't you agree?!?

Stocking Gift Card Holder

My 3rd and final project for my upcoming workshop.   I just LOVE the Holiday Stocking die (#124098) for the Big Shot (and the Stocking Accents - #124099) found in the Holiday Mini Catalog.   I cut the stocking out twice and adhered them together; leaving room for a gift card to slide into the top.

Happy Stamping!
