Werewolf Party

My husband decided to have a werewolf party. It's a fun game that you play with lots of people. You don't need to buy the game, but if you do, it's easier to play and there are more options. I have even introduced it to my seventh graders when we have downtime, and they love it!

First, David made a letter from "the village mayor" to a "friend" asking the friend to come to town to witness the strange things that are happening in the village. Here's the word document (for some reason the handwritten font didn't come through on the upload) and a picture of the finished product. He cut it out with the paper trimmer then used my creme brulee torch to burn the edges -- the house stunk, but at least the torch is getting some use! :)

Next, he made some tokens out of polymer clay with a werewolf symbol on them and marked each with a unique letter stamp. The guests are going to bring the tokens with them to the party and the token that is drawn will win a copy of the werewolf game.

Then, he put it in the envelopes and sealed it with red wax. I'll let you know how the party turned out!

February Stamp Club Projects

Hi guys! I've got some pictures of the projects we did on Monday so that you can assemble yours. You'll need to provide a glue stick or SNAIL (the tape adhesive runner). Other than that, you should be able to put it all together without any additional supplies.

The first project we did was a tiny milk-carton style box.

To assemble the box:

1. Pop out the box and discard outer pieces and the pieces inside the handles.
2. Fold along all score lines (the dashed lines).
3. Fold over the small flap and place glue on this flap, then fold over the box to meet the flap. If you need help with this part, let me know.
4. To create the bottom of the box, fold in the flap with the "tongue" first, then the opposite flap. Finally, tuck the remaining two tabs into the slot created.
5. Attach all three circles with the brad then place dimensional adhesives on the back of your flower and attach to the box.
6. Fill with a few small treats and tie the ribbon on, if desired.

Materials used:
Quikutz Silhouette Carton template
Generic textured cardstock
Stampin Up cardstock (pink, green, and white)
Eastern Bloom stamp with Pixie Pink ink
2" scallop punch, 1 1/2" scallop punch, 1" circle punch
Yellow brad, assorted ribbon

The second project was the "Thanks, I needed that card". To assemble this card:

1. Layer the stamped image on the green cardstock.
2. Adhere the cardstock to the pink card.

Materials used:

Stampin Up cardstock (pink, green, and white)
Stamps: Fun and Fast Notes, and Fast Flowers Wheel
Pastels

See you soon!

Hi, everyone!

So, I just created a blog! It only took about 1 minute. I hope that future posting takes about that long, too.

Tonight, we just finished our first ever stamp club, and I think it went really well. I need to work on my photo skills and get my "photo-studio-in-a-cardboard box" out so that I can impress everyone with my scant photography skills.

For those of you that were not able to make it, I'll try to get the instructions on here by Thursday or Friday.

Thanks for stopping by!
