Happy Thursday, hope your week is going well.  Been stamping and cutting up a storm around here with 3 classes this week and sneaking in all my design team and challenges too…and today is no exception my friends, today is 10 minutes or less challenge with my buddy Carole'Anne.

Here is the sketch she whipped up with Stampin Up's My Digital Studio

SCA103-001

and here is what my warped little brain came up with – there was a method to my madness, LOL.

Dasher tin 

I created the item on the right, and it is a Tin.  So this also fits with the Stampin Up Late Night Stampers challenge this week and because I combined it with my design team challenge from yesterday over at the Diva Blog, I have another gift set – You can never have to many of these over the holidays now can you.

Ok, so here is what happened.

the tin is an interesting shape, Our Corner Rounder punch doesn't cut it, so what I did was I traced the top and bottom on the back of the Designer Paper that I wanted to use.  I did it here on plain cardstock so you would understand what I was talking about.  When you cut it out, cut inside the pencil line.

I added snail adhesive to the tin and laid on the DSP

Mr. Nasty was turned on at the start of this.  Now, those girls over at LNS were giving me a bad time the other day.  They pointed out the temp. in the bottom right corner and suggested I was really under stress doing these, because it was 191 degrees over here and I should be sweatin by buns off.  HAH>  I wish,,,,,no weight loss to report.  But here is what is funny, I was thinking about that comment as I started today.  I always work with the stereo on and tuned to an old rock and roll station.  Well, if MEATLOAF – DASHBOARD LIGHTS doesn't start playing – you know – IT'S A PRESSURE COOKER IN HERE…oh, I know, the rest of that song doesn't fit anywhere in here, but the beat, the comment and the situation, was I was laughing my butt off instead.

Ok, back to my project

I used the same embossed image and size circles as yesterday.

ok, you can call that cheating if you like, I call it being resourceful!LOL

attach 24 inches of the same 5/8 Satin Ribbon as yesterday.

Notice I used stripped paper instead of having to use more time cutting a strip for down the right side!

Now, my metal edges of my tin are showing – hey this is a 10 minute project, I don't have time to cover them.

So, I decided to use it as a design element and got out my package of Metal Edge Tags

I borrowed snowflake stamps from a couple of other sets and stamped them on white

punched them out and adhered them to the metal tags.

Here is a little known fact.

Our 1-3/4 inch Circle punch – punches a circle to fit inside the large tag.

our 1-1/4 inch Circle punch, punches a circle to fit inside the small tag.

and I used the 3/4 inch Circle punch to punch out the snowflake….

Now that really speeds things up for me

Good thing – look what Mr. Nasty is doing to me again!

Next I attached Dasher and the small tag with Dimensionals, the other is flat.

I had a left over image from yesterday for the "merry christmas", so I quickly cut that out and attached with my glue stick.

oh, I still have some time.
