Eileen Hull, designer, author and self-confessed dumpster diver, has designed a series of Scoreboards® for Sizzix. The great thing about these dies is that they will cut through mat board, so your projects will have a sturdy base that can be painted, papered or textured with just about any medium. Be sure to check back for new projects for the next few weeks.
This great cupcake holder inspired me to create a gift that will last long after it is given. Here's how I made it:
Supplies
Scoreboard Cupcake die cut
3 long-shank gold brads
Adirondack Acrylic Paint Daubers (Stream, Gold and Willow)
Krylon Marker (Gold)
Prima Flowers
Straight pins with multi-colored heads
4" Styrofoam® ball
8" Gold Cord
Teal paper scrap for tag
White pen
1. Paint cupcake holder, candle and base with Stream paint. Allow to dry.
Cupcake: Lightly brush Willow from the bottom up, fading the color as you go. Allow to dry. Lightly dab Gold paint randomly over the entire surface. Edge base of cupcake holder with Krylon Leafing Pen. When dry, place base in cup and join edges with brads.
Candle: Paint flame with Krylon Leafing Pen.
2. Place Styrofoam® ball in holder. Attach flowers randomly with pins. Place a tiny gold dot on each pin head with Krylon Leafing Pen.
3. Tie bow and write sentiment on tag. Color entire head of a pin with Krylon Leafing Pen. Push pin through bow and tag and attach to ball with pin.
I can hardly wait for these dies to come on the market. I have to have them all!
Check out the work of these talented designers using this great die!

Absolutely LOVE it!!!
Candice, this is beautiful. Love all the details and especially the painted base!
Hello,
What an amazing project!
~ Gabriela ~
Candice, this is spectacular! What a lovely gift this would be, especially for someone in a nursing home. Imagine it with potpourri inside! I need to make some of these to give away at Christmas at the nursing home down the road. I was wondering what to do this year, now I know!
You've done it again! Perfection! I need more hours in the day to create!! Got some teacher & doggie gift boxes in the works!
Way to go Candice.
Brenda, that is a terrific idea!
Thanks for the sweet comments!
The great thing about this project is that it took less than an hour to design and create. If you wanted to make several, it could be done assembly-line fashion. Love the potpourri idea, Brenda.
To the others on the blog hop: I love all these projects. I can hardy wait for these dies to be released.
