Sun Chaser Teardrop Trailer and UTV with Xyron Inc. and DCWV

Hello Crafty Friends - I am here with a fun collaboration between 

Xyron Inc.,  Die Cut With a View and Joann Craft Stores.

Along with a few cut files from Simply Crafty SVGs.

I created a fun box for the special people in our lives that love camping or just UTVs.

So, this would be a long post if I showed all the steps involved. 

I will link Sandy's of Simply Crafty SVGs videos for the full instructions. 

I am, however, going to show a few things.

The Trailer

I started by cutting all the pieces with my Brother Scan N Cut machine. I then inked the pieces I wanted ink using a variety of Imagine Crafts Inks.

Then, I ran the pieces that needed to go through my Xyron Creative Station Lite. 

The other pieces I used my Xyron Mega Runner to adhere.

I cover the top of the trail with the same pattern paper. I added the lights and license plate. I used some older DCWV Specialty cardstock for them.

  

For the doors, I ran the inside panel through the Xyron Creative Station Lite and adhered them to the doors to cover up the sloths.

  

The complete Teardrop Trailer.

The UTV

I started by cutting all the pieces with my Brother Scan N Cut machine. I then inked the pieces I wanted ink using a variety of Imagine Crafts Inks. Then, I ran the pieces that needed to go through my Xyron Creative Station Lite. 

The other pieces I used my Xyron Mega Runner to adhere.

 

Now, I added a bit more support to the chairs since this is going to my son and he will be displaying in his room with an action figure in the chairs. I used a bit of thin craft foam that I cut into 1"x 3" and folded into thirds. Applying some Mega Runner to hold it's shape. I then adhered it to the inside of the chair using the Mega Runner and on the tabs. Closed up the bottom section of the chair and adhered it to the UTV.

   

  

I added all the inside panels and steering wheel, the shock suspension, lights, tires,

 flag pole and grills.

  

 

Now, the UTV is complete!

Materials Used:

DCWV Brand: Sun Chaser Collection Premium Stack

Xyron Inc: Creative Station Lite 

Xyron Inc: Mega Runner

American Crafts Brand Cardstock: Olive and Black

DCWV Brand: Textured Cardstock: Silver and Red

Simply Crafty SVGs: Teardrop Trailer

Simply Crafty SVGs: UTV

Imagine Crafts Inks:

I had a blast creating these wonderful projects I hope you will give them or any projects a try. I used the fantastic Sun Chaser Collection from DCWV and Xyron Inc products for these which you can purchase at your local Joann Craft Store

Fairy Love Shadow Box with Blank Page Muse

Hello Crafty Friends - Annie here I am Guest Designing for Blank Page Muse.

I am incredibly honored to be asked by Blank Page Muse to create a project for them. 

I created a Fairy Shadow Box.

Let's get started!

I printed the template twice onto kraft cardstock and cut it out.
Stamped and colored the Fairies and flowers.
I added some details with the Sakura Gelly Pen: Sparkle. I die cut some grass twice.

I used the Blank Page Muse: Woodgrain Background Stamp and stamped the trimmed template of the shadow box. I put adhesive on one side of the template where indicated.  

I pressed the two sides together. 

 

Next, I used my scoreboard and scored on the indicated lines.

 I then crease the edges so that they are crisp. I set it aside.

 

Then, I used the cloud stencil and Distress ink in tumbled glass to create a background for my shadow box.  I cut the cardstock down to 5"x 5" so that it will fit in the shadow box. I then adhered it to the shadow box.

Next, I adhered the grass onto the background sky panel in the shadow box. I put some adhesive onto the box portion of the box and rolled it up and press it into place. Making sure the grass bottom was completely covered.

 

Then, I repeated the process on the other sides of the box. Tape, roll and press into place. Take your time here the box can be a bit tricky.

I then adhered two of Blank Page Muse: Small Lilly Flower with Stem in the background along with the Blank Page Muse: Fairy Seated Long Dress. 

 

Next, I added the Blank Page Muse: Fairy Short Hair Standing to the outer edge of the box. 

Along with the die-cut grass border. I then adhered the last

 Blank Page Muse: Small Lilly Flower with Stem to the left outer edge of the box frame. Along with all the Blank Page Muse: Small 6 Petals Flower to the bottom edge of the box frame just overlapping the Blank Page Muse: Fairy Short Hair Standing.

 

Finally, I stamped the sentiment LOVE onto a stitched banner and adhered it to the top left corner along with one of the Blank Page Muse: Small 6 Petals Flower.
