This year I wanted to make something special for my son who loves Fallout as well as collecting bottle caps. As some of you know bottle caps are a currency of sorts in the video game Fallout, so what better to make than a "Apocalypse Emergency Fund" bottle cap collector box! I gathered some supplies and set about making my gift! I wanted it rusted and weathered looking. I think it turned out pretty good, and I even made some of the bottle caps that are in the game! I can't wait to give it to him!!!
FINISHED!!!!!!
Now all he has to do is start dropping his bottle caps in his new box!
So I created this sticker set the other day and shared it and some crafty friends wanted to know how I did it....so, I made a video! Creating a sticker set is a great way to create your own embellishments for your scrapbook pages, cards, or even a great gift for a fellow crafter! You can use a few basic elements, and a stamp set to create something that looks store bought! Even better you can customize it anyway you like! Here are a couple of samples I have made, but for todays video I will be focusing on the Christmas set.
Cardstock - white and red Distress Ink - Fired Brick Red Stamp - My Favorite Things Santa's Elves, Jingle All the Way" Memento Black Ink Copic Markers - (E09,E11,E21,E01,RV23,RV21,R59,R37,RV29,R32,BG13,YG06,YG23,C2,Boo,B02,B05,BG10,E7,RV14) Patterned Paper Stamp packaging Adhesive Foam Tape Stickles - Crystal Ribbon Enamel Dots - Green
Using my Silhouette program I created a cutting file to use to create the set. You can use these photos to create your own file, but if you have a Silhouette the file is HERE. Download Die cut
If you don't have the ability to do use the file don't worry, print the black and white photo and create a template. You can also just create your own tags using circle, and rectangle cutting dies. Don't have the Elf cutting die? that's okay too! Just stamp him and then fussy cut him out!
Take your time and relax, and I hope this inspires you to create your own fun!
