PCS Pocket Acorn Blog Hop


Welcome to the Paper Crafters Sampler “Pocket Acorn” Blog Hop featuring our 3D acorn template from the September issue of the Paper Crafters Sampler entitled,
“Autumn Amdist”.

Just in time for autumn you can create this fun acorn and have it ready for the upcoming holidays.

This cute acorn is easy to assemble and fun to decorate. It can be used to hold candies, mints, nuts and many other things.  I plan to use it as a name tag for Thanksgiving dinner. I used the wax technique on the bottom part, embossed the cover, colored the stamp using the blender (tutorial to follow), cut a few leaves, and added a bow. What do you think of what I’ve created?

Be sure to visit all the talented design team members' blogs and please leave a comment.  They worked hard creating something different for all of you. Thank you for stopping by.  Enjoy!

Now, feel free to go back and take another look at Tiffany Bauer's acorn or select the “Click Here” button and hop on over to Karen Squires' blog, both very crafty gals.

    I love the embossed top! That embossing folder is perfect for an acorn top. Love the added leaves and bow too!

    I love what you did with the wax technique. Is that going to be part of the tutorial? Did you use a background stamp?
