Here is the altered composition book I made for my sister for attending the Regional with me. We had a great time learning and seeing new things. She love this book very much cause I made in her favourite colour.
Happy Friday everyone! I need a note book to take notes at the SU Vancouver Regional event on Saturday. It is a white note book (you can see it where the coil is) that I had for awhile and never decorate it. Finally decided to alter it.
I decorated the book with my favourite colours. I used Baja Breeze and Crumb Cake colours.
Here is a close up of the ribbon flowers I made. I gathered on one side of the ribbon with a needle and thread. I then put a pearl on each of the flower. I like how it turned out. I didn't use the pearl from SU. They were too small for my flowers.
Here is how it looks when it is open. The flower is slide to the end of the knotted ribbon. If you don't want the knotted ribbon to show when the box is closed then put it close the opening of the box.
I put one eyelet each onto the two opening flaps (the two with the scallop around them). Ignore the hole on one of the flap. I wasn't too careful when I was Crop-a-dile the hole for the eyelet. I thread the ribbon through the two eyelets but did not tie a knot on the ribbon yet. Set this aside.
Make your flower. I used a cardboard from the DSP packaging for my flower backing. I want it to be strong enough to move along the ribbon for opening and closing the box. I used a Crop-a-dile to punched a hole in the middle of the flower. (While I was writing this I thought it would work best if I had punch two hole in the middle of the flower. This way the flower will slide along the ribbon smoother.) Thread the ribbon through hole of the flower. Next, thread the ribbon through a button. Then glue the button onto the flower.
A closer look a the top of the flower.
Happy Friday, everyone! Hope you all are having a wonderful day!
Hello stampers! Here are more Valentine projects that I made. Our church had a Valentine Banquet on Tuesday and I gave this pouch shown above to the couples who sat with us at the same table. I gave one to our Pastor and his wife too.
I used the Petal Cone Die, the Beautiful Butterflies Die and Scallop Circles #2 for this pouch. I embossed the butterflies with the Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder. I stamped the background with the Elements of Style stamp set. Added rhinestones to the pink butterfly.
This one I made for the babysitter who babysat our children. I filled each pouch with yummy candies.
Happy Tuesday everyone! Hope you all are having a good day! It is beautiful sunny day today so I was able to take nice pictures of these cards. They are all made using the Build a Blossom stamp set and the Petal Blossom punch.
This card uses the biggest petal in the stamp set and the punch.
I made this one yellow using the next big blossom stamp and punch size.
Three little blossoms for this card. I love this size of the stamp and punch.
This last card is a different look of blossoms. It uses the biggest blossom and the smallest blossom. I like how it turned out. Not very creative with punches other than what it is use for. I see a lot of people create animals and critters and other cool things with Stampin'Up! punches. I can't think outside of the box.
I tried to make heart shape pancakes for my DH when he came home for lunch. What do you think of them? Not sure if there is an easy way to make it shape nicer. But DH loved it anyway.
He surprised me with a lovely bouquet of flowers this morning and they are white. Not the traditional red ones he usually gave me. I love the flowers very much. Something different than red ones all the time.
You'll need two pieces of cardstock of the Petal Cone Die. Here, I used Crumb Cake cs.
Use a ruler and pencil and mark 2" up for the two outside lines and 1-7/8" for the middle line. I used a pen so you can see it. Next, mark 1" up from bottom for all the lines. Draw a line across the bottom markings if it helps you to cut straight. Do this step to both cardstock pieces.
Score the top markings. The shaded area is where you'll cut it off.
After the shaded area is cut off cut the middle line up to the marking.
Place the two die pieces one at a time and emboss with the emboss folder of your choice. I used Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder.
Add sticky strips at the bottom flaps and to the two side panels as shown above. Stick the sides together first. The flap you can't see the sticky strip in the photo will be the last flap you stick the bottom together. Now you are done with the basket.
I sponge mine before decorating.
Decorate as desire. I borrow the treats from the other basket.
Are you looking for Valentine ideas? Here are two heart baskets made from the Petal Cone Bigz L Die. I embossed them with the Perfect Polka Dots and the Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folders. Gotta love those embossing folders.
I added the Build a Blossom flower to this basket.
I added ribbon rosettes to this basket. I made the rosettes from satin ribbons. Satin is harder to work with because they are so slippery. I used to make tons and tons of these rosettes for weddings. I used a stiffer ribbon for it.
