Operation Julie's Smile Hop

Hello All!

I am so glad that you joined us on this amazing blog hop for Operation Julie’s Smile. If you came here from my friend and creative genius... Geny's blog, then you are in the right spot. If not, you may want to start from the beginning at the Sweet Stamp Shop’s blog and take your time. You have ALL WEEKEND to hop with us and win prizes!


I"m going to dive right into my project...

In honor of Julie I made some pretty cute earrings... if
I do say so myself...

I used the Sweet Stamp Shop 

Sweet Tooth set

You can find it HERE at the SSS shop.


Want to make some earrings with your stamps?

It's soooo easy!

You'll need...

Shrinky Dinks **Clear** sheets

(you know... the stuff that shrinks when you bake it) 

You can find it at your local craft store. 

Stazon Ink Pad

Stamp Set of your choice

(Like the new Halloween set from SSS!) 

Scissors 

Hole Punch (regular school size)

Brown paper bag piece 

Earring jewelry findings

(you can find these at your local 

craft store too!) 

Here is the basic idea... 

1. Pre-heat your oven to 325

2. Stamp your image onto the shrinky sheet

3. Cut out your images and be sure to leave room for 

your hole punch!

4. Punch a hole where you want

5. Place a cut sheet of brown paper bag on a cookie sheet

6. Place the pieces ink side up and put them in the oven 

7. The shrinking takes about 2-3 minutes... but, I like to 

watch it... after it shrinks and lays flat... take them out. 

8. Grab the paper bag (with mits... it's hot!) and place it on 

a flat surface. (do this quickly!) 

9. Place a book on top of the pieces to keep them flat as they 

cool off... 

10. About 2 minutes later ... you're done! 

11. Use them for earrings or book marks or 

embellishments... or anything! 

See what else I made.. 

Melvin and Vernie Halloween Earrings!

So Cute!
