3D Wednesday


Hello! It's 3D Wednesday over at MyCreativeTime...For my project today I chose to make a magnet. I did have a sheet of magnet material {from michaels} but I wanted to make something pretty out of something ugly...Yeah for recycling! I used that lawyer's ad magnet {always come on new phonebooks} and Emma's die from the Just Simply Live set. Ran the die through my Vagabond...and it cut like butta! 
Sorry for the dark photo, but one of my overhead lights is out in my kitchen. Anyhoozle, I used the die from Just Simply Live again to cut out the kraft to go over top of the magnet. I stamped it with the Coffee Backgrounds in toffee crunch memento ink. I went over it with matte mod podge so it would hold up better over time. I stamped the little backgrounds from the Coffee Break set so I could use them to paper piece the cup from You Are Perkfect. I added glossy accents and a twine bow to finish off my magnet. You could put a picture of your favorite java junkie in there! HA :) Be sure to head to Emma's Blog to see more 3D awesomeness! 

Have a great day!
♥ Nikki ♥

  8. I really like how you used an old magnet for this wonderful project. I also save magnets from mailers for future project uses. I think of them as freebies I don't need to buy :D I like that you used Mod Podge to strengthen and protect the paper. Love it! Great job!
