DT CraftWell: Fiesta Ribbon Medals

 

Hi, 

This is my next post for Craftwell. 

I live in San Antonio, Texas and April is its Fiesta month.

In my kids school, we did a Fiesta celebration on April 30th and I was in charge of arranging a shoe box parade for the little ones.

So I made Fiesta ribbon medals for the winners:

In short:

I bought already made birthday ribbons with the pin in the back and converted them in fun Fiesta Medals (that's a big item here, everybody collects them during April).

I stamped sentiments and cute little Fiesta critters from HeroArts and cut them with their complimentary die cut.

I stamped sentiments directly in the ribbons used for the Fiesta Wreaths and even the chihuahua/ tacos directly to them using the FSJ licorice black ink. And colored everything with gel pens.

Then, I used my hot glue gun to assemble the medals. I used small Mexican hats, decorated them with rhinestone ribbon, to cover the "birthday" sentiment.

Those were super cute and quick to make.

I did prizes for these categories:

"Fiesta Diversity"

"Fiesta Medal Craze"

And

"#ILoveTacosSoMuch"

Don't the little ones look so cute with their ribbon medals and their shoe boxes floats?

DT: Stay Home Card

 

 Dear Scrappers,

This is my post for Craftwell:

For this post, I made a CAS card for a friend, who got sick with COVID-19. And I just noticed that I misspelled it 😓, embarrassing... mostly because I gave her the car already.

Here the original misspelled card:

The inside of the card:

I used the following materials and dies:

and 

My SNAP for the die cuts

Michaels embossed cardstock in white

CTMH champagne cardstock

Spellbinder nested square dies

Steps:

1- I stamped the HOME word and the chart using the Color Box and FSJ inks.

2- I died cut each letter using the square die and the stamped chart image.

3- I inked the edges of each square with a paint brush with the coordinated color.

4- I glued each square using 3D dots for dimension.

5. Finally, I glued the medical chart-square to the inside of the card and stamped the coordinated sentiment.

I brought the card with some tortilla soup to my friend's house and left it at the door after ringing the bell and sending her a text.

I hope you enjoyed my quick and easy project and please make sure to visit Craftwell for more inspiration and to follow me

and stay safe from this pandemic.

DT: Lip Balm Holders for St. Valentine's Day

 

 Dear Scrappers,

This is my post for Craftwell:

For this post, I made a lip balm holders as gifts for my children's teachers for St. Valentine's day:

I used the following materials and dies:

First, I die cut all the holders using the Sizzix dies and used another die set from Sizzix for the embellishments and bookmark.

In short: I stamped the delicated mandala shapes using the CTMH stamps. Then, I laminated the delicated mandalas after stamping a sentiment in the back using the "We are good together" stamp set (I used the "You are Loved" stamp). Later I cut them out using their thin cut dies. I did the same with the tags and "smile" sentiment (I stamped my children's name in the back of the tag) for the other end of the bookmark:

I attached both sides with a foot of ribbon and tied them with knots:

I used my SNAP and Cut N' Boss to cut everything.

I hope you enjoyed my quick and easy project and please make sure to visit Craftwell for more inspiration and to follow me.

Enjoy the freezing days
