~ I’m Nuts……. For You~
April 19th, 2009 by Holly McMillen
Good morning 🙂
I am in the throes of a painful toothache. For the last 24 hours, I have tried every known ‘home remedy’ that I could find on the net or that friends/family could recommend. My face is on fire and my vision blurry. I was telling my 16 yr old, tooth pain is akin to labor. It is hard to concentrate, kwim?
Well, I have found that massive doses of motrin, ice packs and stamping help tremendously. I am sorta normal this morning. I spent most of my night in the studio.
I needed a 3D item for There She Goes, so I pulled out several sets and set to thinking. Then I remembered my You’re So Punny squirrel and his nuts. So this is what I made:
This one is so so easy. I took a piece of Really Rust cardstock measuring 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 and score it on all sides at 3/4 inches. Then I centered a nesties label 1 die in the center and ran it through the wizard. Voila, wndow. I used sticky tape to secure the acetate inside for the window and formed the box top. For the box bottom, I cut chocolate chip cardstock to 6 15/16 x 6 15/16. I scored that piece at 1 1/2 inches on all four sides and formed it into a box. The two slide together perfectly. 🙂
Then I decorated as shown 🙂
Here are my deets:
Stamps: There She Goes’ You’re So Punny
Colors: Really Rust, Chcocolate Chip, GP White
Ink: Brilliance Graphite Black, Copics, white Gel pen for accents
Accessories: ribbon, dimensionals, acetate, sticky tape, scoring blade
