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

Craftwell DT: Baptism Favors

  



 Dear Scrappers,

This is my post for Craftwell:
For this post, I made baptism favors for my Godson's special day.
I used the following materials and dies:

My SNAP for the die cuts
Jane Davenport Gold Squid Ink
Heartfelt Creations cross dies
CTMH sunburst stamp
BoBunny cross dies
Tattered Lace tag die
Rosary and other dies, I can remember right now.
Xyron stickers maker
Gold DecoFoil
Laminating machine
Brother toner printer
Michaels cardstock in blue and pearlescent white
whole puncher


Steps:
1- I printed the baptism details and then run the cardstock through the laminating machine using DecoFoil to gild the printed cards.
2- I die cut the tags and made punched the wholes
3- I die cut a bunch of crosses from different companies and run the die cuts through the Xyron sticker maker.
4- I stamped the sunburst with Gold ink and added a die cut cross on each stamped sunburst
5. Finally, I attached the tags using gold thread to the printed ribbon bows for each Cross favor for each family.


I also made some candy favor boxes for the children as well:
I stamped some Dollar Tree paper favor bags with the sunburst and added a die cut cross to match with the adult's favors. Finally, I added the blue tags to each bag.


I was able to make all the baptism favors the night before the baptism and surprised my "comadre" with them.

DT: Baby Boy Card

  



 Dear Scrappers,


This is my post for Craftwell:
For this post, I made a congratulations on your baby boy card.

I used the following materials and dies:

I cut the background strip from paper wishes printed paper (4), and stamped a "congratulations" tag on the same printed paper the inside the card sentiment (1), which I later die cut using the coordinating die from CTMH (2). Later, I cut the feet and the "baby boy" twice, once in card stock and once in printed paper using my SNAP machine. The baby boy sentiment had a congratulations sentiment inbetween baby and boy, which I cut out.
I added the background strip to the card base and paper pieced the feet and sentiment adding it to the card using 3D dots for more dimension. For the inside, I added one of the "baby" sentiments to the congratulations tag. Added some twine and glued it to the inside of the card.



This is a very easy, quick and CAS card.

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
