CraftWell DT: Telephone Box Card

      

Hi, 

This is my next post for Craftwell. For this post I decided to make a Telephone booth box card for my son's 16th birthday. He is wanting a phone for a while, but he didn't have the real need for it and we are delaying the social media as long as we can. Thus, I decided to play a trick on him.

When I saw the terrific telephone treat box kit by Tonic, I knew that it was the perfect die for what I had in mind. I love the English Telephone booth and the color combination is just perfect. This die is meant for a treat box, so I tweaked it a little to make it a box card, by trimming the topper and glue it directly to the top flap.

Some tips to work with this dies:

Use the foam tape included to hold the dies in the acetate to hold in place when die cutting the sentiments inside the rectangle:

I cut an strip large enough to add the "16" crown as a popup element, but forgot to add the extra fold to make it pop up on its own:

This box is so cute that can also hold a tea light LED candle inside:

I was able to fold the box car to put it inside of an envelop with a note, "Enjoy your phone":

Here is my son reaction to the card:

At the end, I decided to make the little base included in the kit to use as cake topper as well:

I followed all the amazing instructions included with these dies and kit. This is the first kit that includes such detailed instructions; no need to hunt for videos in the web. Love it

DT CraftWell: Fiesta Medals/ Ribbons and Fiesta Earrings

 

     Hi, 

This is my next post for Craftwell. For this post I decided to use my several Fiesta stamps and dies to create shrink plastic charms for fiesta ribbons and earrings:

First, I used the colorful flower gift bows from the Dollar Tree and complimented them with the tail parts of the Ribbon Rosette Die & Stamp Showcase Set, Tonic Studio. I also used the banner and trophy die (which I cut to just show the No. 1 part) out of gold paper.

I used Spectrum Noir alcohol markers to highlight the embossed No. 1 sentiment and created a 2 for the other two ribbons. It is hard to see that part in the picture below, but I did trim the center part to show them later on (above picture).

The ribbons looked kind of plain, so I decided to stamp charms using my HeroArts and FSJ fiesta sets on printable shrink plastic (Sizzix, on the white/ rough side) and then die cut them with the respective die. My daughter helped me color the stamped images using gel pens and metallic/ glitter markers. Then, I punched a hole in each die cut and attached the rings. I, then, used my heat gun to shrink the plastic- scary step as it curls totally up until it reaches its final size where it flattened back. If not perfect continue melting and turning back and fort until nice and straight:

Sadly the metallic/ glitter part doesn't show on the shiny side of the charm:

Here, a closer look of each fiesta charm pair:

And finally, the fiesta chihuahuas were so cute that I made earrings out of the charms:

and on the ribbons, I added two or just one charm:

DT CraftWell: Happy Birthday Die - Three ways

 

Hi, 

This is my next post for Craftwell. For this post I decided to use the March SCT sampler Happy Birthday die and three different sketches to make some cards for my dear friend, my Godson, and to have in case I need one.

The SCT samplers come with everything I need to make cards or scrapbook pages: e.g. printed 6x6 papers, enamel dots, stickers, die cuts, and much more.

I used three different sketches:

Sadly this challenge ended yesterday, but here is my take:

I used foam tape to rise up the sentiment.

and for the inside I used one of the provided die cuts as sentiment:

My take:

And finally:

http://sweetsketchwednesday2.blogspot.com/2023/03/march-sketches-here-at-sweet-sketch.html

 

My take:

The inside: I didn't go for an circle for the main element, instead, I used a tag to house my sentiment die cut.

The inside:

I used some inking to make the card elements for cohesiveness.
