Hello again. I know, I was just here a few days ago, but I was asked by fellow Sin City Scraps design team member, Pam Bray, to cover her post today.

It is a microscope slide holder. Some years ago, these were a really hot item. I am going to show you that they can still be a fun item to alter, so look…

These are a little tricky, as you need to consider the hook on the back. I make the swirl of the hook part of the ornament. I use crystal effect from Stampin' Up! to adhere the hooks. The shapes are die…

Stamped on the outside of the microscope slide with StazOn ink, and heat set. Colored the slide on the inside (if needed), then ran them through my Xyron machine and sprinkled dazzling diamonds on the adhesive. Put another slide as a backing and secured with the foil tape.
