Holiday Blitz Day 23: Top Note Nugget Wrap Tutorial…& another winner!
Posted on: Monday, December 15th, 2008
For today’s project I thought I’d show you another way of using Stampin’ Up!’s exclusive Top Note die (can you tell I’m a little addicted to it *lol*?) I call this project a Top Note Nugget Wrap – pretty original name don’t you think? I never have been good at coming up with creative names for things!
To re-create this project you’ll need the following supplies (all Stampin’ Up!):
Stamps: Curly Label Bundle
Ink: Close to Cocoa
Paper: Close to Cocoa, Whisper White CS, Frosty Day DP
Accessories: Curly Label Punch, Big Shot, Top Note die, 1″ double-stitched Bashful Blue Grosgrain ribbon, silver elastic cord, 1/16″ handheld circle punch, sticky strip, paper snips, personal paper trimmer with scoring blade, small cello bag, Hershey Nuggets, scotch tape
Step 1: You’re going to need to cut out two Top Note dies out of Close to Cocoa CS with your Big Shot. Score each Top Note die at 3″ using your personal paper trimmer with scoring blade. Hand trim the left and right sides of the LONGEST portion of the Top Note die up to the score line. See picture below.
Step 2: Cut out another Top Note die, this time out of your Frosty Day DP. Trim off the perforated edge of the Top Note. Cut this DP Top Note in half. Do NOT score it. Stick down the Top Note to the 3″ flap. Fold the whole thing (the CS top note and the DP 1/2 Top Note) and then stick down the bottom portion of the DP Top Note. Trim the edges of the DP Top Note as was done for the CS Top Note Place sticky strip on the back of each Close to Cocoa Top Note as shown in the picture below. You will also need to cut TWO 3 1/4″ x 4 1/2″ pieces of Close to Cocoa CS – set one aside.
Step 3: Peel the backing off of the sticky strip and stick the Top Notes – one at a time – to the 3 1/4″ x 4 1/2″ piece of Close to Cocoa CS. You want to align the 3″ score lines of the Top Notes with the left and right edges of the CS. Take your SECOND piece of 3 1/4″ x 4 1/2″ piece of Close to Cocoa CS, place sticky strip on the back, and then center and sandwich it over the ends of the Close to Cocoa Top Notes.
Step 4: You will need 8 Hershey Nuggets. Cover the nuggest with 1″ x 3″ strips of DP. Place inside a small cello bag. Fold the top and side over and tape in place using regular scotch tape. Attach to the center of your nugget holder with sticky strip. Punch a hole using your horizontal slot punch just above the point of each Top Note Die. Take a 14″ piece of ribbon, slide it through the holes as shown.
Step 5: Tie your ribbon in a knot. Stamp your greeting in Close to Cocoa classic ink onto a scrap of white CS. Punch out with the curly label punch. Punch a hole with your 1/16″ handheld punch. Feed silver elastic cord (a 5″ piece) through the hole and tie to the ribbon knot. You’re done!
I hope you enjoyed this tutorial!

I would love to see SU carry the bind it all…or the scor-pal…or better yet, both!:)
December 15th, 2008 at 8:23 pm
I would love to see them carry the bind it all, scor-pal, or cricut items.
December 15th, 2008 at 8:34 pm
Nestabilities!
December 15th, 2008 at 8:47 pm
Any kind of embossing folder would be lovely! Nestabilities would be a dream…LOL! Love the Nugget holder!

Here is wishing for tons more dies for the big shot…
December 15th, 2008 at 8:51 pm
OHH this I am dreaming of.. New dies for the Big Shot
CANNNTTTT wait to see….. 
December 15th, 2008 at 8:52 pm
Seriously, you are making me REALLY want to buy the Big Shot!!!
I would love to see more Coluzzle templates…I love my coluzzle!!!
December 15th, 2008 at 9:01 pm
too much to hope that we could purchase just the rubber and not the wood blocks, for those of us who prefer cling mount… but I know I’m dreaming here.
December 15th, 2008 at 9:09 pm
I would love to see a digital trimmer/shape cutter….
December 15th, 2008 at 9:17 pm
I would love to see many many more of the decor elements….they are really not new but new ones on the catty would be great! I also agree with the people above who say about the bind-it-all! That way we could create scrapbooks and other crafts to whatever size we wish!!
December 15th, 2008 at 9:20 pm
I would like a large square punch…maybe 1 3/4 inch. Keep the fantastic ideas coming Andrea.
December 15th, 2008 at 9:41 pm
I would say, Something similar to nestabilities so we can cut all those shapes and sizes. Thanks
December 15th, 2008 at 9:44 pm
Of course, I always look forward to the new sets, but I would also love to see the Nestabilities or Bind it All.
December 15th, 2008 at 9:47 pm
I suggested these two in a demo survey recently – I’d like to see us offer the Bind-It-All as well as the Scor-Pal. I’d also like to have clear rhinestone brads available separately, without having to buy the Pretties Kit to get them, and I’d LOVE some chocolate brads!! Cute project today, but then again, when aren’t they?!? You do great work!
December 15th, 2008 at 10:11 pm
I just love the Top Note Nugget Wrap! This is just to creative.
I would love to see SU carry a variety of sanding files that are small enough for the chipboard letters and shapes.
Have some embossing folders like cuttlebug.
So self adhesive ribbon or lace.
Thanks so much for another chance.
December 15th, 2008 at 10:17 pm
I dreaming of some more Big Shot dies…more scrapbook items…self-stick rhinestones…more punches…I’m pretty happy with all the new stuff they always have…I’d love more Coluzzle stuff, too!
December 15th, 2008 at 10:22 pm

December 15th, 2008 at 10:30 pm
I would like to see Cuttlebug embossing folders which we could use in the Big Shot and also some more Stampi Up exclusive dies.
December 15th, 2008 at 10:36 pm
Hi,
I would love to see something on the lines of the nestabilities. Plus, a stamp that sort of looks like a oval frame that you can stamp inside of. I’m already picturing my Christmas card for next year, and this would be great.
Sharon L
December 15th, 2008 at 10:43 pm

December 15th, 2008 at 10:59 pm
I love everything that SU carries but it would be nice to see embossing folders,more dies, and some cricut items. I know this is asking for a lot so anyuthing,that can be used in scrapbooking would be wonderful. I love the box
December 15th, 2008 at 10:59 pm

i would love to see them carry the scor-pal…i know i need to get it,but would love for it to come from SU.
December 15th, 2008 at 11:20 pm
I haven’t really thought about what I would like to see in the new SU catalog so I will just take this opportunity to thank you both for doing such an amazing job. I am awed by your creativity and can’t wait to sit down each day and read your blog. Thank you so much for inspiring me. Blessings to you both and your families during this holiday season and may 2009 bring you joy, laughter, and good memories.
December 15th, 2008 at 11:43 pm
Boy, um, that’s a tough one! There are so many great products out there!!!
December 16th, 2008 at 12:10 am
I’m really into tools right now and would love to see a scor-pal. Ever since I saw it the first time I been wanting one. The other thing would be dew drops. I really like them!
December 16th, 2008 at 12:25 am

December 16th, 2008 at 1:11 am
I would love to see embossing dies for the Big Shot…matching our background stamps…
December 16th, 2008 at 1:22 am
These are some awesome gifts you have been showing us. I think the option of unmounted and mounted stamps is what more of my customers want. Me, I will be happy no matter what!! really.
December 16th, 2008 at 1:31 am
Stickles (I think that’s how you spell it?). So much easier than glue and glitter. I always get glitter everywhere.
December 16th, 2008 at 2:53 am
Embossing dies for the Big Shot.

I’m looking forward to seeing the new stamp sets. I would like to see more stamps that will work for male cards. Thanks for the tutorial!
December 16th, 2008 at 10:02 am
I don’t know that there is a particular item that I would like to see in the SU catalog. I love accessories, so that is what I look at first when the new catalog arrives.
Love the nugget wrap…you and your sister have so many woderful ideas. Hope you and your family have a wonderful and blessed holiday season.
December 16th, 2008 at 10:06 am
I love your nugget wrap project! Thanks for sharing.

December 16th, 2008 at 10:10 am
The bind it all would be great! Anything new would be great, though!
December 16th, 2008 at 10:19 am
More masculine stamps–serious ones, not cutesy
December 16th, 2008 at 10:41 am
I would love to see more EXCLUSIVE SU! stuff for the Big Shot – specifically embossing folders! And anything like the Top Note die, which totally ROCKS!
December 16th, 2008 at 10:47 am
More exclusive S.U. dies for the Big Shot.

December 16th, 2008 at 11:18 am
I love all of your projects. I can’t wait to see each day what new project you will make and show us how to make ourselves. I’ve got too many ideas and not enough people to give them all to.
Thanks for all the ideas!
December 16th, 2008 at 11:31 am
I’d love to see Dew Drops or some similar bling.
December 16th, 2008 at 11:36 am
I’d like to see new punches!!!!…with a matching stamp set!
December 16th, 2008 at 11:53 am
i guess more punches. Or dies for the Big Shot.
December 16th, 2008 at 12:05 pm
embossing folders and new dies for the bit shot. Of course anything would do really.
December 16th, 2008 at 12:21 pm
I would love to see more exclusive dies. I really hope that SU will bring out a swirley bigz die so that we can cut chip board with it.
December 16th, 2008 at 12:50 pm
What would I like to see in the new catalogue? My dream is to see SU sell their stamps WITHOUT the wood blocks so that those of us who need to UM can save some money and NOT buy the wood blocks. Even if I save 30% off the price of the set, that is enough savings that I would consider buying more SU stamp sets.. right now, they’re way too expensive as they are… so I don’t buy much SU now
December 16th, 2008 at 1:11 pm
You never stop amazing me. More designer papers.
December 16th, 2008 at 1:11 pm
I’m on the embossing folders bandwagon also. Now that Sizzix has come out with their own embossing folders, I think the chances are pretty good that Stampin’ Up will carry them. I’m keeping my fingers crossed.
Pam
December 16th, 2008 at 1:21 pm
I’d like to see more punches. I really want a larger circle punch.
December 16th, 2008 at 1:33 pm
I would love to see some embossing folders or some new types of storage would be great.
December 16th, 2008 at 2:00 pm
Stickies!! I’ve discovered Stickies and they are great! Lots of glitter and no mess!
December 16th, 2008 at 2:04 pm
I’d like to see the Scor-Pal & lotsa Big Shot dies.
December 16th, 2008 at 2:46 pm
More Big shot dies would be fun. TFS! I love seeing your wonderful projects each day.
December 16th, 2008 at 3:29 pm
I would like to have more rub-ons, and some in French too.

December 16th, 2008 at 3:33 pm
Congrats to my local gal Kivonne for winning!! WOO WOO!
I would of course love to see Nestabilities, but new Big Shot product would be great – embossing folders, new dies…
December 16th, 2008 at 4:32 pm
An interesting new punch. SU has such fun punches.
