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: 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?

CraftWell DT: The Atonement Gala- Scrapbooking Layout

Dear Scrappers,

This my  post for CraftWell:

For this month's post, I made an scrapbooking layout to feature my children's school Gala:

The theme for the Gala was the Great Gatsby and predominant colors were black and gold. Thus, I decided to use this DCWV: Stardust Stack Paper with tons of black and gold foil, and some CTMH vellum with feathers and gold polka dots. I couldn't find my gold alpha stickers, thus I just spelled the title using the negative cuts from the sentiment die cuts. I'm still missing the word Gala, which I will add later with the stickers... ;-)

Right side:

Left Side:

Some close ups to highlight the die cuts I made using my SNAP:

In short:

1- I used my SNAP to cut some die cuts from some Teresa Collins dies for sentiments, tags, and picture frame, CraftWell, and HeroArts, for the retro frame, which I cut in pieces:

2- I used an Sketch from "Let's scrap sketches: sketch-3-15-19":

3- I assembled the pictures and die cuts following the sketch. The swirls and stars die cuts, help finishing the look of the sketch:

4- I still miss some journaling and of course to finish my title.

I  hope you enjoyed this very simple and super easy to make layout and visit my blog for further ideas:

Alejandra's Display ages 0-5 years old

Dear scrappers,

I finally finished my daughters' display for her first 0-5 years:

I used some papers from my stash, and don't remember which paper company they were.

The circle chippie from Cretaive Embellistments, some canvas stickers from an old scrapbooking monthly kit, CTMH number/alphabets stamps and inks, gesso, eggshell acrylic craft paint, metallic embellishments from CTMH and Michaels. Mesh ribbon and yarn ribbon also from that monthly kit, alpha- blocks from TH, and some other supplies.

First I painted roughly the back and side of each picture insert with white gesso. Then I added a piece of printed cardstock. Then, I painted the chippie in white and added some highlights with gold acrylic paint. Finally I diecut the pictures and added some stamping, embellishment, etc. Finally, I glued down the chippie and attached the yarn ribbon to the frame and I added more metal elements and stamping.

This picture is from when Ale became 1 yo.

Here is her US and her 1 st picture as a baby.

In these, she was 3 yo.

This picture was taken at school when she was 2 yo.

This is from her 4th birthday.
