This
is a really simple fast project that we did last Valentine’s Day. As I was looking through my fall stamps, the Acorny
Thank You just popped out along with its matching punch.
It's a bit hard to see the size of things, so below you'll see it's just the size of a Ghiradelli Square Chocolate.
Very
Vanilla 6 x 2 (but cut it a “shy” 2” or 1 5/16”), score at 2 7/8 and 3 1/8. Punch out each end with the
Scalloped Tag Topper Punch. Fold and
burnish.
Stamp
the acorn and an acorn top, I couldn’t decide which top so I stamped out a few J Do you like the dots or the diamonds?
Stamp
thankful and cut that out with sharp scissors.
I used Delight Dijon and Rich Razzleberry.
Put 2
dimensionals
on the back of the acorn. Wrap copper
thread around 3 of your fingers, about 7 loops, then squash onto the back of the dimensionals.
It will look messy at the back but don’t worry.
Now
add the acorn, the top, and thankful with dimensionals.
Slip
in a ghirardelli
chocolate. I don’t glue it in but you could.
I
love the Razzleberry
and Dijon Ribbons in the Holiday 2016 catalog and used them on this project.
Here's how I make my ties.
To
make the tie, I tied it a bit like necktie. Cut the ribbon about 8” to make it
easier to tie. Put the end through the
front, then the back hole. Take the
front and wrap it around the back of the other ribbon and bring it to the
front,
and up through the hole that you made as you wrapped it around the back.
Then
use the knot like a slip-knot and adjust it, trim the ends.
If you’re thinking why not cut it 6” in the
first place… well… it’s so much easier to tie it with 8”.
There's a project sheet in the tab Ideas, Projects and Free things. Enjoy!
