Welcome to the Eileen Hull's Fresh Vintage Blog Hop
today's die is the Caddy....
when I saw this great die I knew I wanted to make
a Christmas Countdown Calendar for the Holiday's....
It was the perfect die for the project....
I started by gluing card stock to mat board
Then used the Fresh Vintage Caddy Die with
the Sizzix Big Shot
I cut the numbers out of DCWV White Glitter Card Stock
with Sizzix Sidekick and Sizzlet Dies
the Sizzix Big Shot
with Sizzix Sidekick and Sizzlet Dies
onto the front part of the bottom half of the Caddy
and added the numbers.
Then put the bottom of the Caddy together
and used double sided tape
to adhere to foam core board.
I used the top part of the Caddy
in the top center Caddy so it could hang on the wall.
I used a 2" ruler to guide placement between rows.
I cut the top part off 24 of the Caddy's
and inserted into bottom of the Caddy's
It turned out Great!
