| If some of these samples look familiar, it
is because they were first presented last December.
(2004) We felt they were so useful that they deserved repeating.
Plus....Judy has expanded on them and added new projects
and directions for this class. |

Holly Card
|
 |
|
gg designs stamp sheets have a raised edge all around
them. Cut these off and attach a bunch of them to an over-large
acrylic handle with glue stick. (Note: the "edge"
is usually found on whole sheets or sets. Not every stamp
has this border.)
Ink it up with Brilliance Gold. Stamp the care, then re-ink
the stamp , turn it 90 degrees and stamp again.
Stamp the holly on another piece of cs with warm green
chalk ink. Color the berries with red glaze pen and cut
image out.
Attach to the card with double stick tape.
Stamp "Happy Holidays" under it with Colorbox
red pigment ink and emboss the words with clear ep.
Glue on a red ribbon bow.
Note from gg
designs:
It was Judy's use of the "scraps" that prompted
us to pay attention to the borders on sets and when possible
make them decorative so they can be used. |

Wrapping Paper
Stamp holly with warm green chalk ink on banner paper.
Berries colored with red marker, holly berry stamp used
to stamp red and gold berrien.
|
Note from gg designs:
Already have greenery stamps you'd like to use? No "berries?"
No problem!
Rubberband three #2 pencils together (preferably unsharpended....don't
want you to put your eye out!)....and there you have it! Perfect
berries!
You can even get "extra fancy" and make a highlight
in the berries by poling with a large darning needle or a
small knitting needle.
---------------------
Tiny pom poms in clusters are fun too.
