The saddest part of my day is when dinner is over and there is no more eating for the rest of the day. Seriously.
I love food. So, so bad. All of it. There are very few things I won’t eat. For the sake of my waistline and overall health, though – I have to reign it in most days. But then there are always food-themed crafting supplies. Those don’t have calories. Win!
While I was at the Craft & Hobby Association Winter Trade Show in Anaheim, CA – I fell in love with this here stamp set by Lawn Fawn. Matter of fact, I named it my favorite stamp set of the entire show! I mean, let’s be honest: chinese food + stamps = a special kind of awesome.
As soon as the Good Fortune set arrived in the mail, I got to crafting…and came up with this. I’m not gonna lie. This is one of my prouder crafting moments. Twine as noodles? Yeah. I just wish I could eat it.
With some crafty cutting, you can easily replicate this design and turn the closed take out box image into an open one…
{1} Stamp the take out box image from Good Fortune on white cardstock and cut out.
{2} Cut apart all pieces of the flaps on the top of the box.
{3} Adhere the flaps as shown on another, complete of the take-out box
I used Craft-A-Board on each of the images on this card to make sure they held up. Craft-A-Board is especially helpful with small embellishments like the chopsticks and box flaps. Just adhere your image to the Craft-A-Board before cutting it out.
With all the pieces assembled, you add some yellow twine noodles to your card using crafting glue. I finished it off with a punny sentiment that looks a little like a fortune from a fortune cookie.

This may be my favorite card ever! So clever. I enjoy your creations very much, but I do have a comment about your blog design. The light blue font color you’re now using is very light and hard to read. Would you please consider darkening the shade just a bit to make it more readable? Thanks for considering, and keep on rocking those stamps!
Thanks for this feedback, Francie! I appreciate it and you’re definitely not the only one! I emailed my web designer about this and we should have it fixed in the next couple of days so that the links are easier to read.
Thanks so much, Amber!
Twine for noodles! What a great idea! And the best part, no calories! I can go for that. Love what you did with the take out box. TFS.
Always love to see how you create with The Twinery baker’s twine!
