To create the charms I used clear Shrinky Dinks and the large ornament stamp from the CL-02057 Merry Christmas Ornament Cling Stamp.I used four colors of StazOn ink for the charms--Forest Green, Teal Blue, Black Cherry, and Ultramarine. In the video Heidi shows you how to make the charm with the Forest Green StazOn.
The Shrinky Dink plastic is kind of slick so when you stamp carefully lay your block down and then press down firm but gently on the acrylic block so it doesn't slip or move.
Stamping Tip: If the stamp does happen to slip or move and you don't get a crisp image you can apply some StazOn Cleaner to a cotton ball and remove the ink.
To create the die cuts I used Spellbinders S4-401 2013 Heirloom Ornaments. To shrink the Shrinky-Dink, next I pre-heated the toaster oven for 325º. My toaster oven is only used for crafting and I cut a small piece from a craft mat to fit inside the tray for the toaster oven.To bake the image place the die cut on to the craft mat and bake for 1-3 minutes. If you have never used Shrinky Dinks (you should watch Heidi's video) to see the magic happen and what the plastic looks like as it is shrinking. It curls, shrinks and then it will flatten back out. Pretty Cool!
Here you can see what the die cut Shrinky Dink piece looked like before and after. Another thing to remember is that the color of the ink will intensify or become darker after you bake the Shrinky Dink plastic.
Next I wanted to add a little more color to the charm so I turned it over and applied StazOn ink to the backside. I used a cotton ball to apply the ink. After applying the ink set the charms aside for a few minutes until the ink is dry. Here is a close up my finished wine glass charm in StazOn Teal Blue so that you can see the added color.
Here you can see all my wine glass charms.
To create my paper napkin ring I used Spellbinder S5-214 A2 Scalloped Borders Two. This is a great family project as your kids will love watching the images shrink in the toaster oven.
Here is a closeup of my napkin charm.
Here is the top view of my hot cocoa jar - which will be a gift for each of my holiday guest. These would also be perfect for a Christmas Wedding as favors for your guest.
