Hi Stamping Friends!
I've got another quick & easy stocking stuffer idea to share with you today. This time it's courtesy of Rita Berning, who brought this cute little Santa gum holder project for us to make at our team shoebox swap. What a fun little idea to give to co-workers or friends!
CASEd from Jenn Picard at A New Ink On Life.
Santa's Coat—We started with a 4" x 6" piece of Real Red card stock, scored at 1", 1-1/4", 3-3/4", and 4" along the 6" side. We tore the edges off of a 2" x 4" piece of Whisper White card stock and adhered it to the front to make the "fur" of Santa's coat.
Gum Pull—Punch out a notch at the top of the "coat" with the 1-1/4" Circle Punch, so the recipient can easily pull out the gum. Then, use Sticky Strip along one edge of the card stock and wrap it around the gum. TIP: Wrapping it around the actual gum you're using allows you to adjust the "snugness" so the gum can slide in and out easily, but not slide out on it's own.
Santa's Belt—Adhere a 2-1/2" x 3/4" piece of black card stock to the front to represent the belt. Add a 1" Square of Silver Glimmer Paper with a 3/4" square of Basic Black card stock in the center to make the belt buckle.
Sentiment—Stamp the Teeny Tiny Wishes greeting in StazOn Black ink onto Whisper White, then punch out with the Word Window Punch. Pop that up with Dimensionals.
Glitter—Santa definitely needs some magical glitter, don't you think? We added a bit of sparkle by drawing down the edges of the fur trim with the 2-Way Glue Pen and drizzling some Dazzling Diamonds over the top.
