When I was in San Antonio in January for our Leadership and Regional Conference, there was a demonstration of die cutting metal and making custom mini garden stakes. It's taken me a while to try it at home but, finally I did it! This project was my March Stamp Club project and will be the project for my April Downline Meeting.
Here's a list of Stampin' Up! supplies that I used:
Big Shot Die Cutting Machine #113439, Frame Oval Scallop #114521, Beautiful Butterflies #114507, Finial Press Textured Impressions Embossing Folders #115963, Flower Garden Embossing Folder #123113.
Crop-A-Dile #108362, Sanding Blocks #124304, Mini Glue Dots #103683, Craft Stampin' Spots Brights #119718, Heat Tool #100005, Clear Rhinestone Brads #113144.
Generic Supplies:
Roof Flashing (non-galvanized), Galvanized 14 gauge wire, 16 gauge colored wire, wire cutters, pliers, cutting mat, hobby blade, metal ruler.
Leave a comment and I'll have a drawing on March 31st to win one or two of my garden stakes. I'll mail them to you! Thanks for visiting!
