Jack of All Trades Lolly

Posted on September 15, 2012 by Stamp with Jini

Do you need a great stamp set for both Halloween and fall? How about the Jack of All Trades stamp set? It’s such a great set that can be used in so many wonderful ways. It is one of my favorites to use for so many things, and with that cute little Harry Potter “feeling” hat I really couldn’t resist putting it on my shopping list.

I found these wonderful lollies at my local dollar store recently and their just in time for Halloween goodie giving. So, I grabbed my Jack of All Trades stamp set and got to work. My TEAM enjoyed making one of their own lollies, during our TEAM meeting this past Thursday evening.

How about you? Do you have someone who would enjoy this Jack of All Trades Lolly?

Supplies:

Stamp Set: Jack of All Trades and Tiny Tags

Inks: Rich Razzleberry, Basic Black, Lucky Limeade and Pumpkin Pie

Paper: Howlstooth & Scaringbone DSP, Whisper White, 2011-2013 In Color Designer Series Paper Stack, and Whisper White

Accessories: Rich Razzleberry ¼” Stitched Grosgrain Ribbon, Paper Snips, 2 3/8″ Scallop Circle Punch, and Jewelry Tag Punch

Wondering which punch I used for the medallion? Would you believe it is our Scallop Circle punch? Well here is a quick tutorial on how I did it.

Scallop Circle Medallion Tutorial

First punch out you scallop circle.

Next using a sticky note as a handle, slip the scallop circle back into your punch. And off set the scallops as shown.

Punch again and you have your scallop circle medallion. It’s as easy as that!

Fun with Googly Ghouls

Posted on September 10, 2012 by Stamp with Jini

Boy, it seems like all I’ve been doing is running at warp speed lately with all the things going on around here. So I wanted to slow it down a bit and share some of the things that I’ve been stamping. Fall is one of my favorite times of year. The days start to cool a bit, school is all new and exciting for the kids and the holidays are around the corner.

I love to make little treats for people so when I recently held a class with a new group of ladies and wanted to give them a little something special. Chocolate is always a winner, so I pulled out my NEW Holiday Catalog stamp set Googly Ghouls and got to work. This stamp set is just a lot of fun to work with. The images are sooo cute and full of humor – who can resist.

The Googly Ghouls Stamp Set can be purchased as part of a bundle or alone and have our NEW Googlies adhesive backed googly eyes that coordinate with them and bring them to life.

For this project I kept it simple and just stamped the Googly Ghouls images in StazOn Black on Whisper White card stock and then used my 1 3/8″ and Scallop Circle punches. I just love our punches they make things so quick and easy to do!

I think these little Googly Ghouls peppermint patties turned out super cute. The girls liked them on Thursday night – how about you?
