Luminaria

Last Friday night, I taught another lovely group of teenage girls for a 14th birthday party. We made this luminaria (lantern) in which we placed a battery powered tealight (for safety). It's a bit difficult to get the best picture of the light glowing through but hopefully you get the idea.

When I showed my Stamp Club members, they all wanted to make one so that class is on Thursday 24th (sorry all full) but will definately put on another class if there is enough demand $15. Register your interest    here.

Remember , you can always opt for a kitset  (includes LED tealight) if you can't make the class. Same price as the class (plus postage unlesss you pick up).

Notice I have used the owl stamp from one of the FREE Sale-a-bration sets along with the Owl Punch.

As Promised

I said last year that if I didn't get a covered diary for Christmas, I would do one for myself.

Here it is...

I used Concord Crush  & Blushing Bride DSP and cardstock. The 2 step Owl punch and the branches for the 2 step bird punch. I decorated the edge with the Scalloped Trim Border punch and the sentiment was from "Sense of Time" stamp set. I made a closure by punching a heart using the Heart Small punch and overlaid it with another that I painted with Chrystal effects. I then punch ed the same hearet out of the flap to allow the flap to stay closed.
