Don't you just love those single stamps on the last page of the SU catalog?! Sometimes we like to try things that might be a little different than our normal style, and with a single stamp, you can do that and get great value and images for a small investment. This little guy is "Dasher".....and as I was chatting with my bloggin' buddy Stacey yesterday about an upcoming party I was having, she suggested that I make a hinge card. The directions to these were in our SU magazine (somewhere) and I had seen them online, but never made one! So when my favorite guy in brown arrived JUST before my party, I ripped open the box and came up with a FAST hinged card:
Now, we're talking 30 minutes before I need to walk out the door, here, people, so it is minimal, to say the least! Anyway, I used Rich Razzleberry to stamp Dasher and Razzleberry Lemonade for my DP. When you slide the hinged piece back, here is what you see:
Again, really simple, using the new Modern Label punch with a sentiment from Short & Sweet. Here is Stacey's sample, to see how stepped-up you can make it (go to the second project). And while you're there, check out her other creations, if you have never visited. She is an extremely creative stamper! I am constantly inspired by her! Once I got the measurements, this was fun and easy to do! And of course, adding Dazzling Diamonds glitter to his antlers really made it sparkle! The next time I will add a few more embellishments, so watch for another one soon! TFL!
