ADVENT CALENDAR DAY 3




DAY 3
Day 3 has only one view as the peek-a-boo window was not used.  Maria's instructions are below:

  • Cut a 2" by 2"piece of Chocolate Chip card stock
  • Punch 1 Garden Green scallop square
  • Stamp image in Cherry Cobbler and clear emboss ( you may choose not to emboss)
  • Attach image to green scallop square
  • Attach this to the 2 by 2" Chocolate Chip card stock with dimensionals  
Tip: If you choose not to clear emboss you can spray your image with shimmer spray.  The recipe is as follows:  You will need pure rubbing alcohol, available at any drugstore, a small spray bottle ( I use an empty Stampin' Mist Spray Cleaner bottle ) and Shimmer Paint color of choice ( Champagne Mist, Frost White, Platinum) my favorite is Platinum.  Fill your spray bottle with about 2 oz of alcohol and add about 1/2 tsp. of paint. ( I add a little more as I like a lot of shimmer) you can always add more but, you don't want it to get too thick.  Shake well and spritz!  I love using this to add a bit of sparkle to cards.
