Christmas Comes Early Blog Hop

Welcome to the Christmas Comes Early Blog Hop. You should be arriving from Joe Rotella's blog, if you want to start hopping from the beginning, please visit Rita Barakat's blog. The complete blog hop line up is at the bottom of this post.

I'm so excited to show you how to get more out of your rubber stamps this holiday season.
For today's project I am featuring Rita Barakat's Sing rubber stamp.
I stamped Sing on Shrinky Dinks film, used a circle die cut and punched a hole to create a charm. I followed the instructions on the shrink film packaging and made the cutest mini Sing charm.

I attached the Sing charm to a ball chain bracelet, along with a bead charm, silver bow and gold heart including one I made using Plaid's Glitterific.
To make the Glitterific charm, I added a layer of Glitterific to a bezel and allowed to dry. I added to more layers allowing each layer to dry completely.


To create my own Sing Christmas wrapping paper. I stamped Sing on white butcher paper using black Staz On ink. I then took a Merry Christmas stamp, I used Pomegranate and Emerald inks to stamp the throughout the paper.


I tied the Sing bracelet onto the wrapped gift box. Sing looks beautiful as a charm!

Don't forget we have challenges on the Facebook Event page. The challenges include creating your own gift wrapping paper and charms using your favorite stamps using Shrink Dinks film.
