There is no need to buy a set that you might only use once.  I'm sure you have many stamp sets that are more versitile than you think. Try thinking outside the box.

Candy Corn treat

Pin It

I'm sure any kid would rather have this corn instead of the real thing. They would make great name plates at a Thanksgiving table setting. You use tamale wrappers. We saw this at Stampin Ups convention in July. Shelly Shultz friend made it!

S&P Recipe:
Perfectly preserved stampset (w...126690, c...126692)
cannery set framelits die (127822)
2-1/2" Circle punch (120906)
Decorative label punch (120907)
1"x8" cellophane bags (124134)

Candle Wraps

Pin It


Dress up your candles for the holidays with interchangeable Candle Wraps. They are Velcroed together for easy removal.  Make your wrap any width you want, but cut it an inch longer than the circumference of the candle for the velcro. Then use your creativity to fit your style.
Hint: when working with glimmer paper, try stapling to adhere, then cover the staple with embelishments

Snowball treats

What else can go in these treat boxes except for a snowball, of course! And again, love the use of dies and punches for a speedy treat. Glimmer paper just finishes it up.

Christmas Candy Wrapper XL

Pin It
Brilliant idea! Stick two or maybe three candy wrappers to get one big one.  Large enough to fit a candy bar in.  This one had a 3 musketeer bar in it. We got this one at a 3D swap at Stampin' Up's convention a couple months ago.

Candle Tubes

Same idea as the treat tubes.  Check out that post for more instructions. We just used the flocked window sheet from the Christmas Candlelight DSP. These would brighten any ones day.

Rolo Rascals

Pin It
Who can have Christmas without chocolate (and a little caramel doesn't hurt either!)  Just pull out your punches and get busy.  For the eyes... we colored Stampin' Up's pearls with a sharpie. The piece to cover the rolo is 3-1/4" x 4-3/4", the fabric is cut 4" x 5"
