This is Paula-Kay with a tutorial to
show you how to make a Christmas pin using cork paper and stamps. I’ve used Red Rubber Designs Ginger Joy for
the stamp.
You
will need some supplies to begin: Palette
Noir ink pad, patterned cardstock (I’ve used Cha
Cha patterned cardstock), a piece of Cork paper, a
piece of Kraft
cardstock, Ginger Joy stamp, white Liquid Applique, scissors, two pearl accents,
a pin back.
Step 1: Stamp Ginger Joy on the piece of cork, and also on
the piece of Kraft
cardstock, and the neck bow on the Cha
Cha patterned cardstock.
Note: Stamping on Cork paper is just
like stamping on cardstock. You can
color it and cut it, mount it on background cardstock.
Step 2: Cut out the image stamped on the cork and the
Kraft
cardstock. Cut out the bow stamped
on the patterned cardstock.
Step 3: Glue the cork image to the Kraft image (which
will be the backing). Then glue the bow
in place on top the cork image.
Step 4: Next add a little pink to the cheeks with a
marker (I used a Copic marker) and glue two pearls (or buttons or jewels) on
the front.
Step
5: Add white Liquid Applique to the
icing on the image.
Step 6: Heat set the Liquid Applique with a heat gun
until it puffs up. (Don’t overheat or it
will burn).
Step 7: Turn Ginger Joy to back side and glue the pin
back in place using strong glue (E6000 works great).
Step 8: As a last minute thought, I decided to add
some small google eyes to Ginger Joy.
And now your Ginger Joy pin is
finished. What a fun little project to wear during
the winter and Christmas season or to give as a gift.
