For those of you who have visited with us at
a convention recently, you may recognize these cute little creations
(above and below) demoed for us by Arlene Stump. Arlene combined
several of our solid images using shadow stamping techniques and
Ranger Antiquities ink pads. These nifty little mini purse pendants
begin with a shipping tag and hold a small Post-It Notes pad.

Ranger Antiquities Pads
Ranger Archival Ink Pads in coordinating colors
Instructions:
1) Stamp
shadow stamps or solid postoids with a light shade of two different
inks on both sides of the tag. Stamp a darker shade of ink and
a small solid stamp or outline stamp. Overstamp one of the colors
with a regular postoid stamp (the same size as the outline stamp)
with a coordinating Archival ink.
2) Place Post-It Notes near the middle of the tag and fold the
tag around the Post-It and crease with your fingers. Now use the
bone folder to burnish the creases.
3) Punch two holes at the top of the folded tag 1/4" from
the outside on both sides. Insert eyelets and using setter hit
with hammer on board.
4) Take Post-It Notes out and take Krylon Leafing Pen and outline
entire tag on the outside. Attach a piece of two sided tape to
the back of the Post-It Notes and affix to the tag.
5) Place a piece of two sided tape to the shrink plastic button
or regular button and affix over the outside reinforced hole.
On the back side of the reinforced hole attach the hook and loop
pieces together. Pull up the flap and press the top closed (this
should affix both pieces of the velcro set).
6) String the necklace through the first hole and up and out of
the second hole of the eyelets. Taking the two ends of the necklace,
string through the pony bead and make a knot. You may attach additional
beads or make additional knots if desired. Make final knot so
that pendant is comfortable.
