Pixy Stick Holder

Yes, I thought it was spelled "Pixie", but that's not what it says on the package! This is another cute little 4th of July project using my new stamp set, Independence Day.

Directions:

1. Cut one 4 1/2 x 5 3/4" sheet of Whisper White cardstock.


2. Score along the 5 3/4" side at 2" and 4".


3. Stamp as you like.


4. Use Sticky Strip or Tombow Multi to adhere the sides together to make your pocket. Be sure to apply adhesive along the bottom edge.


5. Use your crimper to crimp the bottom of your pocket (about 1-1 1/2"). You don't see the crimping on my example because I can't seem to find it!


6. Use Itty Bitty Backgrounds and a white craft pad to make polka dots on some Real Red and Brilliant Blue scraps.


7. Punch out two stars per Pixy Stick using the Small Star Punch.


8. Attach stars to front and back of Pixy Stick with Mini Glue Dots.


9. Cut a 10 1/2" piece of Real Red Striped Grosgrain Ribbon and tie around the holder.


10. Make a tag using the circle stamp from the set and the 1 1/4 and 1 3/8" Circle Punches.


11. Attach tag to ribbon using a 5 1/2" piece of Linen Thread.

Smores Kit

I want to share this adorable project that I am made for my clubbers---a Smores Kit! I just fell in love with this project that a fellow demonstrator shared.

1. Cut two 4 1/4 x 5 1/2" Real Red sheets for the covers. Stamp cover "bases" as desired. I wheeled mine with the Classic Stars jumbo wheel.


2. Cut regular size lunch bag (I found white bags at Meijer) to 4 inches.


3. Cut one 2 x 5 1/2" strip Whisper White cardstock. Stamp as desired. I used the Independence Day stamp set.


4. Cut one 2 1/4 x 5 1/2" strip Night of Navy cardstock. Adhere white strip to this.


5. Adhere matted strip to one of your red "bases". Attach bases to the front and back of your bag. (keep the bag flat--fold the bottom flap back to touch the bottom and you'll be able to adhere the base to the other side.


6. Keeping the bag flat, use the Word Window Punch to punch through both sides for a handle


7. Add some graham crackers, a couple mini Hershey bars, and marshmallows! Yum!

This bag could be used for so many different things--shower gifts, kid's party favor bags, gift bag, etc. It's just one of those projects that can be used for anything just by changing colors and stamps.
