Rolling Along

Cased from a card that was shown at Convention, this was so fun to do!

I used 3/4″ wide strips of Snow Festival Designer Series paper (cut at various lengths) and rolled them around a bamboo skewer.  Then I sprayed the entire front with Shimmer (alcohol and shimmer frost ink)spray.  It sparkles! And since I was watching the election results – and it was a long night – I continued rolling –

Here’s a few hints – I used glue to adhere them – but I’d recommend a glue gun unless you’re very patient.   Draw your Christmas tree triangle on your grid paper or a piece of copy paper first.  That will help you determine how long to cut each strip.  Find any and everything sparkly in your stash to decorate your tree. 

Hugs, Fran

Perfectly Preserved

I made these to be name tags for my Thanksgiving table following Kay’s directions.  They are so cute!  The only changes I made were tying the tops with burlap instead of ribbon and adding a way to lift the lid. 

(That’s a piece of Word Window punch.)  Won’t my table look festive? 

Supplies
Stamp Set – Perfectly Preserved
card stock – Very Vanilla, Orchard Harvest DSP, Regals pack
Ink – Jet Black Stazon
