My daughter loves Stranger Things so when it came to a Birthday Card for her I decided to make her a Eggos themed card.
I started by designing a cut file for it that would enable it to look like 2 eggos were overlapping.
I cut 1 base, 3 of the full waffles and 2 of the waffles with a section missing.
I then coloured the base and top layers randomly with Distress Ink in Wild Honey and Fossilized Amber to give it a more toasted look.
I then started gluing my layers together with Helmar Acid Free Glue.
I then added my eggos to my card base.
My next step was adding the red lettering for Eggo, I grabbed out some really old Creative Memories alphas and added them to my card.
I then sealed my card with Dorlands Wax Sealant to ensure the alphas wouldn't peal off.
As the boys and I were traveling down on the train for a week long stay with my daughters the week before my daughter's birthday I decided to just pack the card and instead organise everything else once down there. I arranged some awesome Stranger Things and Spiderman cupcakes to be made by her housemate who has her own cake decorating business in Brisbane (My Sweet Addiction)
I also got my eldest to pick up Christmas lights and I used her scrapping stash to make a box to fit a pack of waffles for a mini themed afternoon tea with just us and her housemates as she prefers small events.
Here is a quick how to of how I made the box.
I glued 2 sheets of yellow cardstock together with a line of Helmar Acid Free Glue.
I then measured my waffle pack and cut my cardstock to size and then scored it which was difficult as my daughter's scoring tool was missing so I had to use the back of a knife and her trimmer. I did slip and cut through one section so I just taped it back together with washi tape.
I then cut down the sections that would form the ends.
I then used my Helmar Acid Free Glue to glue my box closed around my waffles.
The card turned out so cute.
At the afternoon tea I sat the card on top of the box so it looked like a box of Eggos.
