Don’t you love it when you have had fun making something, and then realize you just love the result! Such a great feeling!

[@zemstones.by.walter]

It truly is such a great feeling! I’m someone who likes to experiment and try different things. Worst case scenario is that I don’t like it and toss it. I still had fun regardless!

Amazing colors and what a clever way to cut and use a Diet Coke can . Excellent way to recycle a can and make a beautiful card ❤

[@zemstones.by.walter]

Thank you very much! I’m glad that you enjoyed it!

Love it Walter! I like that upcycled a soda can. The effect is very cool! Love the patina, too.

[@zemstones.by.walter]

Thanks so much, Melissa! It was a lot of fun to do something different!

Walter, this is a work of art!! I love all of the antique/grunge feel that you carried through the whole card! So much texture and complexity!! I love this ❤❤

[@zemstones.by.walter]

Thank you, my friend! This was truly a lot of fun to make. It’s a new challenge every month with their kits!

What an amazing video! I appreciate you sharing your creative process, repurposing a Diet Coke can is right up my alley! ❤

[@zemstones.by.walter]

Thanks so very much for your kind words! I’m happy that you like the idea!

Does cutting the aluminum harm your diet?

[@zemstones.by.walter]

I have not encountered any issues with the dies. The aluminum from the can isn’t too think. I wouldn’t try it on anything much thicker than it. Also, if you have any Sizzix Big Dies, those dies are heavier.

@@zemstones.by.walter ah. I had not thought of the Bigz being heavier. 🤓
