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:

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.

CraftWell DT: Spring is Near Garland

 

Hi, 

This is my next post for Craftwell. For this post I decided to make some shaker butterflies for a spring-themed garlad to decorate my office for the spring:

Because this are a lot smaller than the Christmas shakers, I decided to attach some binder clips to the back:

This is the only one long enough for a cloth pin:

I can also use this shakers as bookmarks or tags. Super cool. I want to pair them with the flower shakers I made previously here to make my garland, but using cloth pins instead of paper clips.

Craftwell Tools: 

SNAP die cut machine

Other Companies:

Queen & CO Butterflies Shaped shaker kit

Glossy Glass Glue

Glue Gun to attach the cloth pin/ Binder clip

Happy Beginning of March
