I love giving gifts to my workshop and retreat attendees. It’s my way of saying “thank you” for taking the time to support me and my business. This week, I have been working on creating some gifts my upcoming retreat that didn’t require too much time or money, and, since most of us are limited on both of these, I thought I would share what I created using our Feel So Blessed stamp set and Cats & Bats paper packet.
You will notice that the paper I used looks a little different from the one shown in the Holiday Expressions catalog. As a consultant, I have access to “bulk” papers which allows me to purchase a package of one paper design that I can use to make multiple projects. Contact me at misscarriectmh@gmail.com for more information about how you can have access to these bulk packets.
Paper Needed: 6″ x 6″ B&T Paper (Cats & Bats), 3″ x 4″ Cardstock (Colonial White/Almond), 4″ x 4″ Pomegranate, 2″ x 3″ Saffron, 2″ x 3″ Fern
Assembly Instructions:
1. Place a strip of glue or double sided tape along one side of the 6″ x 6″ B&T paper. Twist your paper until it resembles a cone shape and press in place to seal.
2. Using the Your Are Here Cricut® cartridge cut out the “Tag” image and “Leaf” images. (You can access my Cricut® Design Space file here, but you must own the cartridge to cut out the images. You can purchase the Your Are Here Cricut® bundle on my website.)
3. Using Goldrush Ink, stamp the splattered background onto the tag.
4. Using Nutmeg Ink, stamp the “Thankful” sentiment onto the tag, then stamp the “Heart” image using Goldrush Ink.
5. Using Gold Ribbon, Gold Glitter Paper, or Gold Shimmer Trim, create a “Ribbon” at the top of the tag and staple in place using a Mini-Stapler.
6. Using the Buffalo Plaid and Leaf Embossing Folder, dry emboss the “Leaf” images.
7. Adhere all of the layers to the front of the cone using a strong adhesive.
8. Fill icing bags with the treat of your choice, tie a ribbon on the end, and trim as needed. These fit perfectly inside of the cones.
Don’t forget that the Feel So Blessed stamp of the month is only available until September 30th. Visit the “Promotions” tab on my website to learn how you can purchase this stamp set for only $5.00.
