Ever had one of those days? I got to Brian King’s house yesterday morning for his Craft Garage Sale (which was awesome) only to discover I was wearing mismatched shoes. Actually Brian noticed it before I even got to the front door and said, “Do you know that you’re wearing different shoes?” Otherwise I may have never noticed!
Since it was “one of those days” I didn’t get to create something new for today’s blog post. So I went to my stash/stache and pulled out this great little item. Earlier this month a group of Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators gathered for a shoebox swap. This is one of the projects we got to make. Megan Quillen brought it. Isn’t it adorable? Thanks, Megan!
The image from the Santa Stache stamp set was stamped in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on Whisper White card stock. We colored it with Stampin’ Blendabilities markers, cut it out with Paper Snips, and added some Rhinestone Basic Jewels. Then we adhered the layers with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
There was one more step that I opted to omit because I was afraid it wouldn’t dry before I had to pack everything up and go home. Most people traced over the lines of the mustache with Dazzling Details (124117) which gave it a nice glimmery look.
Onto the back we glued a wooden clothes pin that had a small magnet glued to it.
This little guy now lives on my refrigerator to hold notes, coupons, wish lists, whatever.
Projects like this are so quick and easy, but make a big statement. And they make perfect small gifts. I like to make up some extras to have on hand for those unexpected situations – like maybe I feel I should give something to the mail carrier, or the bank teller, etc.
Here’s what we used:
Thanks for stopping by today, and Sweet Stamping!
