Sizzix Fresh Vintage Blog Hop: Caddy

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

I put DCWV Red & Green Glitter Card Stock 

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!

Easy TIPS when using Glitter

I use Glitter a lot and like to keep it in

decorative bowls, jars and containers

This is a glass sugar bowl that was just sitting in my cupboard;

not being used...it is perfect for glitter...

I also use tiny little spoons to sprinkle out the glitter...

Always sprinkle glitter on top of a sheet of paper;

so that you can pick it up and put the excess

back into it's container....

it is easy to pour the excess into

this sugar bowl!

Products Used:

Aleene's Tacky Glue

Designer Craft Connection Blog Hop Sponsored by Westcott Brand

Westcott® Brand Cutting Tools

  Westcott® "The World's Favorite Scissors" is sponsoring the Designer Craft Connection Blog Hop for October. VELCRO® Brand Fasteners and Duck Brand®Tape  are also supporting this blog hop by providing materials.  

I chose to create a Changeable Headband for this Challenge...

the products I used are: 

Westcott Brand Scissors	Velcro Sticky Back Tape	Duck Brand Tape	Sizzix Fresh Vintage Fringe Flower
Sizzix Big Shot

InLinkz.com

Products used that are not pictured above: 

Plastic Headband, Velcro Brand Pink Double Sided Sheet, Brads & Charm.

Here is how I created the Changeable Headbands...

 I gathered my supplies

 I used Westcott Brand Titanium Bonded Non Stick Scissors 

to cut my Duck Brand Tape

the length of my headband.  I put the  Tape 

onto the headband and trimmed close with scissors.

 I used Eileen Hull's

Fresh Vintage Fringe Flower by Sizzix

to cut flowers out.

For the Duck Brand Tape

first put wrong sides of tape together

to make a double sided tape,

then die cut.

The flower above I left flat and

attached a brad through the center holes

with a Breast Cancer Charm hanging.

 For this flower I die cut the 

double sided tape and the

Velcro Brand Pink Double Sided Sheet

and layered them together.

 For this flower I die cut the 

Velcro Brand Pink Double Sided Sheet

out twice and used the large flower twice and

the medium and small flower once.

This product is so cool because with the 

fringe of the flower I was able to 

stick it to itself to form a 

3D Flower easily!

 Once I had all the flowers made...

 I used the Westcott Brand Titanium Bonded Non Stick Scissors

to cut the Velcro Brand Sticky Back Adhesive

which by the way cut like butter.

 Then I attached the Velcro Sticky Back Adhesive 

to the headband and the backs of the flowers.

 The flowers stick easily to the headband

 and can be changed out

 for whatever look you want.

 Then I needed a way to keep everything in place so 

I used a piece of mat board and covered with

Duck Brand Tape and added

Velcro Brand Sticky Back Adhesive

to hold the flowers in place when 

not being used.
