VIDEO: DIY NECKLACE, KEYCHAIN, AND GIFT PACKAGING

Hello there, Hollowers! I hope you are all having a fantastic Tuesday! I told you I’d be back with another fun project using the December 2020 Box and here I am! If you didn’t see my blog post from last week, you can find it here. I made a cute card using all the Forest Friends! Don’t forget to follow me on Instagram to see my other posts as well!

This week, I am sharing a video tutorial! I made a Shrinky Dink necklace and keychain. Plus, I made the gift packaging to put it in! This month’s subscription box is most definitely my fav so far! Did you get yours yet?!

You can watch the video tutorial here.

To create the gift packaging, I used the Heffy Doodle Gift Card Pocket Die. I created my own dot borders with a Sharpie pen.

For the bears and sentiment, I used the Forest Friends and Animal Greetings Stamp Sets that were included in the December Subscription Box. I colored the images with Copic markers.

To create my necklace and keychain, I used Dress My Craft’s Shrink Prink. I stamped the bear from the Forest Friends Stamp Set on the glossy side of the Shrink Prink with Staz-On ink. I, then, colored him on the frosted side of the Shrink Prink using colored pencils. I used a hole punch to create a hole BEFORE shrinking him down with my heat tool.

I just love the sentiment “Thank you beary much” with these sweet Forest Friends bears! My daughter has already stolen the keychain and hung it in her room!

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and video! Looking forward to my post for next week! What could it be… what could it be… ?

Don’t forget, you only have until December 14th to order this box! What are you waiting for!?

Xoxo, Amanda 🙂

You’re a Dear Friend with Hedgehog Hollow

Hello there, crafty friends! Today, I am on the Hedgehog Hollow Blog sharing this absolutely adorable card that I made using items from the December 2020 Subscription Box! This box is probably my favorite one yet! I am a sucker for woodland animals and this box has 3 fun stamp sets! To see the stamp sets and the rest of the contents of the box, you can click here to see the reveal video!

Now, onto the card tutorial! I started with the Mama Elephant Six Window Cover Creative Cuts Die. I stamped some pretty leaves, branches, and acorns from the Animal Greetings Stamp Set. This set was included in the December Box.

For my card base, I used the Trees Stencil that was also in the December Box. I blended the trees with Vintage Photo Distress Oxide.

Now onto my favorite part – The Forest Friends! I stamped my images with Hero Arts Intensified Black Ink and then colored them in with Copic markers. I used detail scissors to cut out each image. I really need to get a Scan n Cut machine, but fussy cutting can be relaxing when I have the time!

For my sentiment, I grabbed the Animal Greetings Stamp Set again and stamped the sentiment with Versamark Watermark Ink onto black cardstock. I used white embossing powder and my heat tool to melt the powder. I fussy cut this sentiment out as well.

I adhered everything to my card base with 3D foam strips and squares. Here are some close-ups of the finished card!

I hope you enjoyed this blog post! I am pretty excited to get back into the craft room and make some more Forest Friend creations! There’s another stamp set not shown in this project that is calling my name!

Remember, if you want these stamp sets and stencils, you have to get the December Subscription Box! You have until December 14th to buy it! To see all the Subscription Options, you can go here.

Thanks again for stopping by! Xoxo, Amanda
