Sizzix Blog Hop Scallop Box

Thanks for joining in on another Sizzix Bloghop showcasing Eileen Hull's soon to be released ScoreBoard Dies; this first stop showcases the Scallop Box.

Something new to the hop is a CONTEST....

Check out all of the stops on the Blog Hop and decide which project you like best....

then vote for your favorite by posting a comment on the blog ....

Be sure to vote because there are TWO PRIZES: one for the designer creating the project that gets the most votes and one to a random person (could be you) posting a comment for any of the participating blogs.

The challenge for this hop was to incorporate office supplies into the design if we wanted to.

For this project I used Earth Safe Finishes to color the box, 

rub-on letters and Velcro Press and Close Fasteners for the closure.

A quick and easy project but a great way to 

ORGANIZE  and have a place to keep small items!

LIKE THIS PROJECT IDEA?

Remember the ScoreBoard die used in the project 

will be given to the participating designer whose project gets the most votes.

YOU CAN WIN TOO! 

The other prize will be a ScoreBoard die from the first collection. 

To qualify to win, you must write a comment on any of the participating designer's sites. 

Voting ends the April 5th at 6 PM (EST).

Cool2Craft Project

Here are the project I demonstrated on Cool2Craft this morning:

The supply list for the Makin's No Bake Polymer Clay Postcards:

Makin's Clay: 1 package earthtones

Makin's Clay Roller

StazOn Jet Black Ink Pad

Assorted Rubber Stamps

Scissor

Ruler

Black Sharpie Fine Point Marker

Ziplock Plastic Bag or Damp Cloth

Instructions:

1.  With wrapping on clay cut about 1/3 to 1/2 from clay blocks in the colors of your choice. 

I like to use 3 - 5 colors.  Place remaining clay into ziplock plastic bag to prevent drying.

2.  Unwrap clay and arrange in order of choice, press together into log shape and begin to roll.

3.  Fold clay and continue rolling to blend clay together.

4.  Continue folding and rolling until clay is very thin and you like the color blend.  Let this dry a few hours or overnight, turn as needed.  If for some reason it begins to curl place a book on it to help flaten it out.

There is some shrinkage which is why it is cut after drying when a specific size is needed.

5.  Measure out your postcard and cut clay.  Stamp as desired .

You can also make ATC's this way. 

The clay is flexable and goes through the mail without any problems.

Let me know if you have any questions!

ENJOY!
