IT'S IN THE BAG

Hi Stampers,

I hope you have been having a great week.  The weather here has been cool and sunny, and I am thanking the Lord for the reprieve from the extreme heat and drought we experienced all summer long.

Today's project is the last one we did at club last Friday.   Who wouldn't be delighted to receiving a little something wrapped up in this gift bag?



Using a paper lunch sack, we stamped the letters using Versamark and the Morning Post stamp set. 
HINT:  stamp your letters from bottom ("Y) to top ("H") to lessen the chance of running out of space before you get to your last letter - don't ask me how I know this <grin>

Send a strip our new Early Espresso sandable card stock through the Big Shot using our Woodgrain embossing folder, and sand to expose its ligher core.  Very spiffy.

HINT:  Sanding System, the Core'dinations card stock in 3 Stampin' Up! exlusive colors, and Dust Buddy are all featured in our Holiday catalog, available for purchase only through Jan 2, 2013)

The Very Vanilla medallion was cut using the Big Shot and the Perfect Pennants bigz L die.  Easy!

Using the Scallop Circle punch, cut 3 layers from Cherry Cobbler and fasten together using a brad.  Scrunch the layers to soften the card stock and add dimension.

Assemble, adding a Linen Thread bow. Fill with your treat (homemade caramel corn? Mmm!) roll down the top a couple of turns, secure with a glue dot. Done!

Until the next time, HAPPY STAMPING!
Trish
