Fancy Pants and Craftwell: Back to school projects

 Hello Crafty Friends!

I hope you are having a fabulous week so far J I cannot believe September is around the corner!! Time flies when you are having fun right? And we certainly have been having such a fun time creating with this month’s fantastic sponsor’s products and the eBosser THANK YOU Fancy Pants for all you do and share! J
 Please visit them to leave some love!


As part of the fun, they challenged us to create a back to school project. Well, as you probably have noticed I took the theme and ran with it!! So today I am here to share: A Dry Erase Planner and a Pencil Holder created with the Me-ology Collection.




Supplies:

Fancy Pants: Me-ology Collection (paper, ephemera pack and stickers)
Thin Metal Dies (nesting circles)
eBosser
Permanent Tape
Xyron Sticker Maker
12” frame
Acrylic Paint and brush
Paper Trimmer
Scissors
Empty cardboard canister

Difficulty level: Easy
Time: 30-40 min depending on drying time
 eBosser plate combo: CD + Magnetic shim+ thin metal die+ DP+ A             

Creative Process:


 First, a dry erase planner which is a breeze to create. It was a big hit and everyone wanted to write their activities on it at the same time!!! I had to fight for the marker LOL!!! Anyhow, for this project just trim the bottom edge of your paper and frame it! That simple!! Who doesn’t love a fab and quick project?





For the pencil holder:  Paint the inside and edges of it let it dry. Cut a strip of paper as tall as your canister and glue or decoupage it to the cylinder’s body.





Optional: For the lid, cut a circle out of thin chipboard larger than the perimeter of the base of the cylinder. Mark the perimeter of the cylinder and cut slits from the edge of the chipboard circle to the mark you created. Cut a circle de size of your cylinder base. Glue both circles together and punch holes for the pencils. Fold the fringed section down and glue to a strip of chipboard. Paint the edges and inside of the lid. Adhere decorative stripe of paper to top of the lid and to the side.


For the monogrammed tag, I used one of the tags from the ephemera pack and traced the scalloped edge on the straight end, punched a hole. Cut a set of reinforcements, a scalloped circle and run them though the sticker maker. Tied the tag using the twine that comes with it and you are done, a great way to personalize

    Both projects are fantastic, one of them as you mentioned, beatiful, easy and quick! And the second one a great project of recycling in which we can organize our pencils with the lid with holes! Thank you so much for your participation in the Recycling Challenge!

Summer Fun Blog Hop, day 4

Hello friends, welcome to day 4 of our Summer Fun Blog Hop!                                 Don't you just love all the projects showcased this week? I am so lucky to be part of this fantastic hop I could not resist to keep on creating and today I want to share with you another Farm inspired project. This time I created a Piñata by recycling a box, using some scrap card stock, crepe paper, the fabulous eBosser, Xyron Corner Glue Stick, sticker maker and the X Tape Runner. I started by removing the flaps from the top of the box and then scoring two horizontal lines on the sides of it and a diagonal from the upper center point to the line on the sides. Cut slits on the corners all the way to the scored lines. Cut a small square on each side -just below the scored line-to run the rope thru them. Also, cut an opening on the back so you can fill it with goodies. Folded the new flaps inwards. Gl...
