In the process, it made me think of how I could use it as a rubber stamping project (what doesn't make me think of a rubber stamping project??). Anyway...here is the project I came up with, featuring more of my new Christmas designs:
These 2 guys are my playful panda twins, Ping & Pong! I made these little pouch ornaments that can be hung from your Christmas tree. To start, cut a 6" x 8" piece of paper (don't use cardstock...it's too thick).
Fold your paper in half to form a 4" x 6" piece (as shown left, above)...then fold each corner to center (right, above).
Then fold 1 layer of bottom edge up by 1/2" (left, above)...fold up again (right, above).
Flip your piece over and fold bottom edge up 2 times again. Now open it up (right, above) and bring the 2 opposite corners together (below):
After that, I punched a 1/8" hole in each of the top points...set an eyelet in each one, and then thread a silver cord through both holes.
To win the stamps I've used in this project, leave me a comment by midnight (Hawaii time) on Sunday, October 18...I'll pick 2 winners again...1 at random...and 1 at random from all entries from outside of the United States. Good luck to all...I'll announce the winner on Monday, October 19.
ETA: I forgot to mention...in your comment, please let me know if you're from outside the United States (also what country you're from). Thanks!!! (Berenice, I know you're from Mexico!! :)
Hope to see you tomorrow at Cute Stuff!!!

Such a cute idea.. that hat is neat.. it kinda looks like a crown! We used to make the other hats.. the ones that are the beginning of making the paper "boats" Your stamps are adorable.. they brought back a lot of memories.. my friend and I saw a poster when we were in intermediate with a mommy and baby panda named Jing Jing and Juan Juan and we started calling each other by that name and still do today.. Nice ornament. Thank you for the chance to win!

such sweet childhood memories those newspaper hats bring to me. Came handy growing up in Hilo - especially when you forgot your umbrella - Those panda stamps are oh so cute!!
I'm glad you posted this! My friend and I were just trying to remember how to make the hat. Great idea!

How clever to take a simple idea such as a paper hat and incorporate your stamping talents with it. The stamps are just too cute.
Great small kid time memories. We loved making and wearing those newspaper hats (especially the Sunday funnies) and playing sailor boys and pirates. Great idea using modern stamps with paper folding. Thanks for sharing your ideas. This is yum@hawaii.rr.com
such a great project- you amaze me! the stamps are so cute too! Sorry I missed the make and take at cute stuff, but it looked like you had a lot of participants! Take care Jean!
You come up with the cutest projects! You also have the most adorable characters on your stamps. Of course, I would LOVE to win these stamps. I am still in Michigan. Go Blue! (Sorry, I am a U of M Mom now with a freshman there).
You are so clever to think of creating crafty and cute using the paper hats that many of us made in elementary school. The new stamps are so cute. Oahu
Jean, you've done it again. The stamps are so cute.
Thanks for sharing. Aloha and Mahalo from Honolulu.
