    August 2, 2017 /6 Comments

    Hello everyone! Linda here sharing a project with a Back to School theme.

    I had to use the Aren’t You Sweet Etched Dies from the Market Fresh Collection by Debi Adams as something more than a paper craft project. With summer coming around the corner, this kind of project would be fun for little girls to create and wear with pride – an Aren’t You Sweet Strawberry Pendant! Instructions: 1. Using the Platinum™ machine, die-cut Aren’t You Sweet Etched Dies from a sheet of shrink plastic. 2. Color with pens and allow to dry. 3. Once colored punch a hole, this will enable you to affix a jump ring. 4. Using a heat gun, shrink the plastic (adult supervision is needed). Once cooled,…
