" Loves me not"
- 1/8 inch circle hole punch
- Purple ink and 1 yellow marker
Directions:
I made my own template for the shape of the sandle and then
the inner shape as well and printed the invitation info on my
computer. I stamped the flower and punched a hole on each side
to put the wire through and added the beads to match. I then
taped the end of the wire underneath and used the double stick
tape to put it all together.

"Kitty giftbox"
Stamp Artist - katarina Maserak |
 |
Directions:
- Start by stamping up the kitty image in black on a piece
of white paper. Heat set and color them in. Use the gel pens
on the outer kitties' ribbon and necklace. Put some sparkly glitter
glue on the bug and the traces behind it. Set aside and let dry.
- Use a template or open up an old giftbox, and trace it on
an orange colored paper. Crease where needed and write up which
sides should be glued together. Randomly stamp the bug with watermark
over three sides of the box and on the top. Sprinkle with embossing
powder and heat.
- Cut out or punch two small tags in orange and red. Thread
with fibers and tie on one of the handles. Write a suitable message
like "happy" on one tag and "birthday" on
the other depending on occasion.
|
- 4 Stamp the little bug with black on a piece of shrink plastic.
If you want you can punch a hole in the middle. Shrink it and
either glue it on one of the tags, or thread it with goldthread
and hang it by the fibers. You can also glue it on the bug above
the kitties. This would make the main image and rest of the box
very coordinated, since the same image is used.
- 5 Cut out a piece of bigger orange card than the kitty image
and mount it on a slightly bigger red card. Glue this on one
side of the box as shown in the picture. Put dimensional tape
on the back of the kitty image and mount it on top of the red/orange
piece.
- 6 Glue together the box, or leave it unglued and tucked away,
ready to come out when you are in a hurry and need something
special.
The box measures about 4x3 inches (9x6 cm)
TIP: You can also enlarge the box on a copying machine
to fit the size you need.
