Witches Hat

I found these hats and thought I would share it with you.  Thanks Gene. 

There's at surprise under this Witch's hat: it's a miniature Reese's P-Nut Butter cup.

See those stars in front of the hat? They are Gold Party Confetti perfect for this project.



This is what the hats look like during assembly. For each hat, you will need
(1) 1-7/8" Circle
(1) 3-3/4" Circle, cut in half

Apply sticky tape to the P-Nut cup in 3 places. Apply adhesive on half of the straight edge of the circle. 1/8" away from the candy bottom, start to wrap the rounded edge around the the candy. To adhere to the brim, apply a dimensional to the bottom of the candy . You will notice the candy is not flat so a dimensional will work. Using a mini glue dot (see photo below), attach a 6" long cut 1/4" ribbon to the center back and wrap each end around to the front - secure with another glue dot. Attach star with a mini glue dot.
Supplies:

• Stamps: none
• CS: anything you have that looks witchy
• Ink: none
• Accys: Circle Scissor Plus, 1/4" Black Grosgrain Ribbon, 1/4" Only Orange Grosgrain Ribbon, 1/4" Old Olive Grosgrain Ribbon, Sticky Tape, Mini Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Gold Star Confetti (non SU)

July Card Club

Here is what we did at Club this past week



The card on the left is from the new Holiday Catalog

The card on the right is using scraps to make the pinwheel

Bottom is a box we made where you can cut copy paper (or scraps) and have a noteholder by your phone or desk.  This is also great to put post-it notes in.  Makes a real inexpesive gift for those co-workers, and friends.

Do you know the definition of

If you know Candee Porter, she is a true inspiration to any crafter.  She constanly shares her talent with everyone she knows and is definitely an INSPIRATION  to all.  If you don't know her, take a look at her blog http://cardcornerbycandee.blogspot.com/ and you will understand what true inspiration is.
