Totally TURTLES

Save the date for November 23, 1:30pm to 4:30pm. We'll have a blast making Christmas Cards, Christmas tags, Christmas books and Christmas décor. You don't want to miss out so mark your calendars.

Friday night I had a class where I taught how to use the Gift Box Punch Board. I had everyone pick a color cardstock and we followed the step by step instructions on the board. We then decorated the box in a beach theme. Here's a quick video from Stampin' Up! to show you how to use the punch board. Here's one of the boxes we did at the class on Friday. The size for this box is 2 x 2 x 4 inches. I used some retired ribbon to tie it all up. The stamp set is By The Seashore 126532 clear $16.95. Paper is Pool Party Coordination.

Trace around the circles and add drops and dabs here and there. Watch the video to see how I did this.   Here's what it looks like when it's done. Then you can create a card with the finished piece.    I also did a few different ones. Take a look.   I made these two cards. I think they turned out cu...
