Altered Truffle Box Valentine
designer :
[fiskars top ten] Miriam Campbell
Making an edible valentine is easy with the multi-tasking Tool Taxi. I found this 2" x 2" truffle box at a local chocolatier and fashioned an accordian valentine. The Tool Taxi came in handy for fine rub-ons and exacto work.
- Use the rub-on stylus for fine rub-on images and tiny alphas.
- Use the craft knife blade to cut around stamped images (tag stamp from "Oodles of Doodles")
- Use the craft knife blade to custom cut paper around the box & lid.
- Use adhesive brush to adhere small strips, exacto work, and paper to the box.
- Use tweezers to peel fine stickers from sticker sheets.
