DT: Hidden Garden Sitting Chart

Hi,

This is Veronica from vicky's scrapping passion, sharing with you my next post for Craftwell.

For this post, I was asked to decorate a sitting chart for our school's gala. The theme for the gala was the hidden garden. So I went with the theme.

I made a video from a PowerPoint Presentation I made to explain the techniques and steps I did for creating this sitting chart:

Here are some closer views of the different elements I created:

I really love this flower drapery die and coordinated charisma from Tattered Lace, so I had it ready for my next project, which was perfect for creating a secret garden theme stage.

The decorative borders and corners dies from Graphic 45 were also a perfect match for this project.

I went with DCWV gold printed paper for the die cuts of the words/ numbers and corners/ border because I love how this paper looks like glitter chunks reflecting in the light.

For the tables and 8 chairs, I went with hearts doilies with the gold number die cuts.

I mounted each piece with foam squares to give them more depth.

This was a fun project to make and I did not have much time and only used the supplies I had at my workplace.

DT: St. Valentine's Day Bookmarks

Hi,

This is Veronica from vicky's scrapping passion, sharing with you my next post for Craftwell.

For this post, I made some bookmarks for my children's teachers for St. Valentine's Day:

I found these cute deep cut dies from Taylored Expression (TE) for making felt bookmark critters for Christmas, and made these ones for the Fall and Christmas Bazaars:

I particularly liked the penguin.

So, when I saw that TE made some penguins dies in Valentine's theme, I had to have them and wanted to see if they cut felt as well and yes, they did using my SNAP. I had to put a piece of cardstock in top of the sandwich and run it twice, but the SNAP got it right. Best is to use the felt sold by TE, but I run out and used some from Michaels, which also worked fine, but took more effort.

In short, I died cut the felt pieces, cutting a piece of black cardstock for the penguin body (no the arms) as well (in this case, I didn't need to put a piece of cardstock in top of the sandwich). I was able to cut all different pieces I needed in the same plate/run. I also cut some of the Christmas Critters Penguins.

Then, I glued the felt pieces together and used the included eye stamps for stamping the eyes (so much nicer than gluing felt eyes):

Then, I stamped on a DCWV heart foiled paper my children's names and the included "HUGS" sentiment. I cut those in slanted strips.

Then, I assembled the bookmarks, using the black cardstock as back, I hot glued the big paperclips, and hot glued to the back of the felt penguin. Then I hot glued the arms, hugging the sentiment strips and to hold the chocolate hearts:

And made some of the Christmas Critters Penguins as well:

I just hot glued the sentiment strip to the back.

Very simple and cute. I made 36 of them quickly:

Happy belated Saint Valentine's day

DT: Virgen Del Valle Magnet

Dear Scrappers,

This is Veronica, from Vicky's Scrapping Passion sharing my post for Craftwell:

For this post, I made a frame for a picture magnet from a painting of mine:

I took the picture magnet and added to white card stock. In the back I added a print out of Our Lady of the Valley story:

The frame is double sided, so that the nice gold foiled frame could accent better the story in the back as well.

I made the frame out of die cuts from the Tattered Lace Column set dies (one of my favorites) using my SNAP machine while at work. I made this frame picture magnet for one of my bosses for his birthday.

I hope you enjoyed my quick and easy, though elegant project and please make sure to visit my blog for more inspiration and to follow me.

Happy October,

and stay safe from this pandemic.

DT: Nurse’s Office Door Sign

Dear Scrappers,

This is Veronica, from Vicky's Scrapping Passion sharing my post for Craftwell:

For this post, I decided to use my SNAP to create a door sign for my work:

I got some ideas from Pinterest, but decided to use flowers instead of stars to make it my own.

I wanted to continue the same design I used for my sanitation stations. Thus, I cut letters and Tiles from DCWV Unicorns and Rainbows paper, using the BoBunny larger alpha dies and Tattered Lace dies.

Here are some of the dies and the paper pack I used:

I cut a 7.5 x 7.5 in square out of chalk board paper. I cut 3 pieces (7 x 2 in.) of gold thick card stock to make the frames for the word tiles. For the smaller tiles, I cut 6 DCWV paper rectangles (3 x 1.5 in.) to frame the 2.75 x 1.25 in. black chalk board paper. I glued all frame titles using double side tape to the big chalk board square leaving an upper border to add my title.

Then, I cut flowers, leaves, and the alpha die cuts using my SNAP machine.

Then, I trimmed 2 cards from the cards printed paper to die cut my smily face in gold and the (Craftwell) paper clip heart. I glued them together and glued it to a wooden cloth pin to make my sign marker.

Later, I realized that I should have glued the die cuts separated and on both side of the cloth pin, so remedied that by die cutting an arrow from the left over card and adding touches of black with a marker to emphasize the arrow and I added more black around the heart (not shown), the smily face. I paper pieced a nurse's hat and colored the cross with red gel pen:

Here some closer views of the finished door sign:

Again, I was able to use my SNAP machine while at work and now I have a nice sign to make me smile while I'm working.

I hope you enjoyed my quick and easy project and please make sure to visit my blog for more inspiration and to follow me.

Happy September,
