H2H "BACK TO SCHOOL" Challenge and FREE Tutorial

Hello, stampers:

Today I have a free and very easy tutorial for you to enjoy. I made it specially to participate in the H2H Challenge this week.

 

I made this cute pencil topper using the "School is Here" stamp set.

 

Let's get the tutorial started:

 

 

1. For each pencil, cut a 3" x 3" piece of Honey CS and a 2-3/4" x

2-3/4" piece of green Dotty for You Collection Paper. Distress the edges with coordinating ink and adhere together as in the picture.

 

2. Using a dot punch [available also @ WalMart in the office section] punch two holes as in the pictured; you might need to punch more than once in the same hole to make it bigger to insert the pencil. 

 

3. Use a pencil to shape the holes, and maybe make them a bit bigger by adjusting them to the pencil's size.

 

 

4. Using the AP, cut a 1-3/8" circle from white CS and one 2" scallop circle from black cardstock. Stamp the apple on the white circle and adhere them together. Also, stamp the message on the topper as shown on the second picture.

5. Adhere the scallop circle to the center of the pencil topper with foam tape. Insert the pencil T
