COTM014 Rolling Pin/Gingerbread Boys
Stamps by: Gingerbread Boy by Heartlooms; Rolling Pin by Darcies; Sayings by Darcies, The Stamp Pad and Penny Black.
Supplies needed:
Double stick tape or glue
Dries clear adhesive
Pop Dots: 1/4 (or layer two 1/8)
Measurements:
Main Card: 9 x 12
Folds to: 6 x 9
Brown Panel: 5 1/4 x 8
Red Panel: 5 x 7 3/4
Decorative Panel: 4 3/4 x 7 1/2
Brown Panel: 3 3/4 x 6 1/2
Instructions:
1. The gingerbread boys are already on support stock
because I needed to punch the little hole in them. I used a 1/16
inch punch which not everyone probably has.
2. Place the rolling pin onto the support stock and detail trim all
the images.
3. Place the jump hoops through the tiny holes on the gingerbread
boys. You may need to use your scissors to "open" them up
a bit.
4. Place the open ends on either side of the rolling pin. If
you needed to "open", you may need to "close" a bit.
Using the dries clear adhesive, place a dollop of glue on the back of the
pin encircling the jump hoop (make sense??). Allow to dry.
And, it really did take a long time. In fact, I think it may have
needed overnight.
5. Layer on the all the fun layers of cardstock and decorative
paper.
6. When the glue is dry around the jump hoops, use the 1/4 inch (or
two 1/8 inch dots layered together) on the rolling pin only. The
gingerbread boys just hang loose!!
7. Have Fun!!
Measurements:
Main card: 6 1/4 x 11

trim.
2. Layer on the decorative panel.
3. Complete the inside of the card.
4. Decide on your outside saying. Trim and layer it with the
green.
5. Position the poinsettias without attaching. Layer on the
saying.
6. Tape the red poinsettias flat onto the card.
7. Using pop dots, attach the white poinsettia to the main
card. With this design, you need to place the pop dot (you will need
to cut them) onto the main card and then place the white poinsettia
onto the pop dot. You can then go under and add additional pieces of
pop dot if you feel it is necessary.
8. We wish you all a very, very Merry Christmas and a very, very
Happy New Year!!

Dries clear glue
Pop Dots or Foam

Measurements:
Main card
Folds to:
Decorative Panel solid:
Decorative Panel decorative:
Instructions:
****Note the opposite color combination for the sayings than the main panels***
1. Layer on the solid and decorative panels on each
of the five panels. ******The right-hand panel is cut slightly
smaller for ease in opening the card. The front and back of this
panel are layered with opposite color combinations which are cut smaller
than for the other panels********
2. Very front panel: Shown above with Happy Birthday
uses three large hearts.
3. The back of that panel: Shown above with "This is the
day..." uses three medium hearts.
4. Right hand panel front/outside: Shown above with "Sing
and Dance" uses three medium hearts.
5. Right hand panel back/inside: Shown about with
"Fun-filled day" and the signature card uses three small hearts.
6. To attach the earring card to the main card, use pop dots or foam
to the amount of 1/4 inch thick. This allows the earring backs to
have enough room not to be smashed into the card.
7. To attach the card into the box: place the back panel to
the bottom of the box. Slightly pull out from the sides. Put
4-5 squirts of glue onto the side of the box. Hold the cardstock
panel against the box until firm. Repeat on the other side.
8. This project is totally different from anything we have ever done
before!!!!! Have fun with it!!! (And, it is okay if you keep
it for your self!!)
