Snowman Poop Tutorial

Hello all!!  So many people were curious about the snowman poop that I thought I would throw together a quick tutorial.  And I  mean QUICK cuz I have so much to do...don't we all tho?!!

Next you will decorate the front of you package any way you want to.

You can find more inspiration at

Splitcoast Stampers snowman poop gallery. hee hee

Finished product:

The sentiment was printed from my word processing program

and is NOT a stamp, although one should be made

don't ya think?!

I hope this helps and if I've left anything out please let me know

as I did this pretty quickly.  hee hee.  I was really amazed at how

many people had never seen these and how many people

said they were going to be making them.  HAVE FUN!!!

Christmas in July Blog Hop

On the Seventh day of Christmas ...

WOO HOO IT'S HERE IT'S HERE!! 

CHRISTMAS IN JULY

BLOG HOP!

I hope you've enjoyed the hop so far.  If you've come over from Crafty Deb's then you're heading in the right direction.  If you'd like to start from the beginning go back to KinderStampO.  There is pretty much blog candy on every blog as well as an overall "main" blog candy so lots of opportunity to win!!  FUN OR WHAT?!! 

My project actually made me giggle as I was making it.  I think these things are so friggin cute!  Each of these little snowmen packages consist of marshmallows and a packette of hot chocolate.  These are sooooo easy to make and very inexpensive if you need a bunch!  :) 

Here are all my snowmen napping on the job!! 

And now my little soldiers are all standing at attention!!  

I even embossed the back of the little package.

What the heck hey?!

And here is a close up so you can see the sentiment.  

SO BLOG CANDY!!!  YIPPPEEEE!!! 

I will draw a winner's name at random and the lucky winner will receive a $10 gift certificate for their favorite online store.  So when you leave a comment, please include your favorite online store where you order most of your scrapbooking or card making goodies!!  The Christmas in July blog hop ends 9pm Sunday night, July 25th so I will be drawing a winner on Monday July 26th.

NOW!  To carry on to the next great project:

 

Instructions For the Wrapper:  Cut a piece of cardstock to 4" x 12" or whatever width you want.  I based mine on  the width of the hot chocolate packette.  Then score at .5" for the tab at the top, flip your 12" piece around on your Scor-Pal and score at 5" and 6.5".  This will give you the bottom of your package.  That's it!  Then start to decorate any way you want!  If you have any more questions, please don't hesitate to comment.  :)

Paper:  Three Bugs in a Rug and SU's "Whisper White" cardstock

Embellishments:  Misc silver decorative wire, black Stickles for mouth, eyes & buttons and EK Success fastener staples. 

Punches:  EK Success snowflake punch, Quickutz Snowmen from "Merry & Bright" Edition and Quickutz ovals for oval window.

Friday Sketchers #111

This edition of Heidi and her big jugs......of beer....is for my friend Sheri's husband, Bill, who just had a bit of surgery last week and now is recovery mode.  CHEERS to a successful surgery!  Now I'll send along some mojo healing power.  hee hee  Bill likes beer so what more of an appropriate card to cheer up a guy hey?!!  hee hee snicker

Once again I added Liquid Applique to the foam and even added "guy" glitter.  That's the kind that doesn't glitter too much but just enough to make him thirsty.  LOL!!  This time I also added Glossy Accents to the beer mugs. 

I'm also entering it into this week's Friday Sketchers #111 sketch challenge.  I love all the layers on this one.  I must admit that maybe I shouldn't have made my digi image so big.  Ahhh the hazards of learning digi's.  hee hee  But I really enjoyed coloring her.

Paper: Basic Grey (given to me - thanks Simone!)
Embellishments:  SU buttons, Liquid Applique, Glossy Accents, CTMH hemp and Jillibean Soup journaling sprouts (the label)
