This past Sunday my husband and I sang in our church choir's presentation of "The Offering", which included a drama that wove a heartfelt story in with the songs to enhance the melodies and lyrics' meaning. During practice it was mentioned that the girl in the story, Maggie, needed "angel paper" to wrap her present for the baby Jesus. The program director said she hadn't had time to find angel paper, so I volunteered to make some with my Stampin' Up! supplies, and here it is:

I used the stamp set, Rejoicing In You, to stamp the angels in Versamark on plain white tissue paper. I then sprinkled them with Gold embossing powder and heated with my Heat Tool. At first I was a bit worried about applying heat to the tissue, but while the Heat Tool DOES get really hot, it only took a quick pass over the powder to melt it and there was no danger of burning the paper!

I stamped one of the stars from the Merry Minis stamp set in the Holiday catalog in the same manner to fill in the space around the angels.

Maggie also needed a wrapped box for the play, so I wrapped one of our Kraft Boxes with the embossed paper.

Maggie's grandpa states that he thinks the "angel paper" might actually be birds, so these angels were perfect!

I LOVE it when I can use my Stampin' Up! supplies to enhance my "real life"!

Until next time, have a Stampingrox! day!
