I will miss the Fancy Favor Die most of all the Big Shot items retiring. It has been a favorite for years and I will be keeping it because it makes such nice packaging for small gifts. I have made this Fancy Favor Bag out of the NEW Quatrafancy Designer Series Paper from the 2013-2014 Annual Catalog and the Pinwheel Sizzlit from the Spring Catalog which will NOT be carried over into the NEW Annual Catalog. If you buy the Fancy Favor Die from me you will receive a FREE Online Video Class showing four different ways to use your Fancy Favor Die. Please email me after you have placed your order and I will email you the Class link. The video on this post is the first video in the class.
SUPPLIES:
Fancy Favor Bigz XL Die #115965 (available while supplies last)
Quatrefancy Specialty Designer Series Paper #130141 (available May 31st)
Pinwheel Sizzlet #129411 (Available until May 30th)
Sticky Strip
Glue Dots
Brad
Wire Cutters
INSTRUCTIONS:
Pinwheel 1. Choose your card stock color. You will need a 2″ square. I used Marina Mist. Cut it out with your Big Shot. Remove the card stock from the Sizzlit. You can use your Piercing Tool to poke out the holes if you want to hold your Pinwheel together with a Brad.
2. Use your Bone Folder to to curl the four pointed ends that have the holes.
3a. If using a Brad to connect all the holes I found it easier to put the Brad in from the center and then through each of the points. This does mean that the tabs open on the top of the pinwheel.
3b. I found it easier to use Glue Dots to conect the points. Put the first Glue Dot in the center over the hole. Place one point over this Glue Dot. Now put a Glue Dot on the bottom of the next point and adhere it over the first one. Repeat with the other two points. Choose your Brad. Use Wire Cutters to cut off the Tabs. Put a Glue Dot on the Brad Bottom and adhere to the center of your Pinwheel.
4. Set Pinwheel aside while you make your Fancy Favor Bag.
Fancy Favor
1. Cut your Designer Series Paper at 5-1/2″ x 12″. Run through your Big Shot using your extended Cutting Pads and the Fancy Favor Die.
2. Score and fold all score lines-pleat lines on the sides are optional.
3. Place outside side of Fancy Favor up. Put Sticky Strip on the side tab next to the crease and at the edge of the tab. Put Sticky Strip on the bottom edge of both rectangle tabs and one triangle tabs. Flip the Fancy Favor over and place sticky strip on the edge of the last triangle tab.
4. Remove sticky Strip backing from side tab. Adhere side tab to side edge of Fancy Favor. Lay flat and crease fold lines with Bone Folder.
5. Open up Fancy Favor and remove Sticky Strip from the bottom tabs. Put down the Rectangle Tabs first and then the Triangle Tab with the Sticky Strip facing up. Now put down the last Triangle Tab. Use your Bone Folder and rub it on the inside bottom of your Fancy Favor to help your Sticky Strip adhere well.
6. Now add your Pinwheel to the front of your Fancy Favor with Glue Dots.
