Hidey-Ho My
Stamping Friends, Have you been enjoying
spring so far? We have been having some AMAZING weather and I’ve been really enjoying
it! If you've missed me here, you can always find
me posting on my Facebook page at www.facebook.com/StampinUpWithRoseEllen
) to find out the latest news about what Stampin’ Up! is up to, what I’m up to,
and what projects I’m working on.
Last weekend I
went to Christina Crawford’s team meeting and presented a WOW demonstration.
Everyone’s definition of a WOW is different so that always poses a challenge
for me, plus by the time I’m done creating my WOW I’m often left with the
thought that it’s not as cool or as WOW as I think it is. Anyway, I thought I’d
show this awesome oven shaped cupcake holder I made for some of my daughter’s
teachers for Teacher Appreciation Week and for the end of year gifts for the
other teachers. The first time I saw this was at the Hispanic Market Booth at
the Stampin’ Up! Convention and I KNEW I had to give it a try. Here is what I came up with:

For this I changed the oven controls to a Silver Button from the
Basic Metal Buttons and the Candy Dots Brad Bases. I also added a drawer front
on this one.
And here is the
last one I made.

This one was made with my Hispanic Market Stamping Friends in
mind. I turned the basic box on its side and made this into a Washing Machine or maybe its a Dryer. Instead of
putting a candle inside, I used baby socks to make a cupcake shape. If I had the new Baby Themed framelits from the upcoming catalog, I would have strung some twine around the sides and back of the washing machine with a few onsies hung on it to decorate it.

I jazzed it
up by making the cupcake holder insert from the Stampin’ Up! Glimmer Paper. I
also used the Glimmer Paper for the door handle, a circle on the front of the
dryer and as some sparkle for the dryer buttons. I love the sparkle.
Do you want to
give this a try? Here are some photos and measurements to help you out:

Oven sides and top:
Cut a piece of cardstock to 9x6. Score
in half at 3 inches and then turn and score at 3 and 6 inches. Along the 9 inch
side, cut at 2 ½ and 6 ½ from the top to the center of the paper. Use my photo as
a guide to see what parts to cut off.
Oven bottom and
door: Cut a piece of cardstock to 7x4
and score in half (at 3 ½ inches) Then score each side at ½ inch. Use my photo as
a guide to see what parts to cut off. Cut out a window for the oven and attach
this to the sides and top of the oven.Insert (cupcake holder): Cut a 3-7/8th square and score each side at ½ inch. Snip a small ½ oval shape from each side as a finger pull. Cut a circle in the center of the square, for the cupcake to sit in. Adhere the 4 corners and you’re done.
Control Panel: Cut a piece of cardstock to a 3 inch square.
Score in half at 1 ½ inches and score again at ½ inch. Attach sticky strip to the ½ inch area. Use
the 2 ½ inch area as the control panel and the 3x1 ½ inch area gets attached to
the back of the oven.
And here are a few more views.
It really is
pretty easy peasy so have fun with making and accessorizing your own.
