CEX197 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!!

Instructions: 1. Place all images onto support cardstock and detail trim. 2. Color the presents on the outside panel and inside the card (I know, mine isn't colored yet).
