Hello~~~!!! Welcome to my blog. I’m participating Kelleigh’s Blog Hop today using her templates, Mini Mailbox (NEW product this week!) and the Matchbox Sets.
Kelleigh’s templates are very versatile. I had fun putting two different templates together to create this cute stuff =). My son loves vehicles, so I tend to find a way to add wheels to my creations.
One of my new year’s resolutions was to keep the house clean. But it seems like I get the project ideas from my cluttered home. I was looking at my kids’ Play-Doh stuff, and thought the mini Play-Doh lids would make some cool wheels for a vehicle. And the Mailbox Template kinda looked like a western wagon, you know =). I don’t think I should ever clean the house! This mess is my muse! Heehee. If only my hubby could understand the importance of keeping the disorganized house! Heehee.
Using the Big Shot, die cut the Sizzix daisy flowers out.
Puch it out with a circle punch (1 3/4″).
Attach the cut out flowers to the Play-Doh lid (I used Glossy Accents).
Make a whole in the center using an Instant Setter (3/16″).
Put a brad through the hole. Wrap it around one side of a cotton swab. I used the Scotch tape to secure the brad and the cotton swab together. But, I think I’ll use something more strong next time. Maybe use the wire first then wrap it with the Scotch tape.
Score and fold cardstock paper to make a room for the cotton swab. Again, used the Scotch tape to attach the paper to the bottom of the Matchbox. The wheels turn!

“Hey Man~! Do I look like a horsey to you?”
“It’s hard out here for a pimp king!”
“I must deliever this letter to my master’s mistress before these creatures eat me alive.”
“Ackkkkkk~~~~~!!! Freak!”
“Urmmm… You don’t look so normal to me either. What planet are you from!”

Beautiful! How do you use DXF files with the Pazzles? I just bought a cutting file from PCS and am having problems importing it. Do you have any tutorials or can you tell me where I can find a tutorial?
Thanks,
SSR

I don’t know why I hadn’t seen this post before.. I LOVE how you seem to find a perfect use for templates that were meant for something totally different. Your stories are the best, too!
The stamped animals are adorable! I wish you could teach me some of the techniques you master so well!
