Mother's Day Banner- Featuring Ruby Rock-It and Fiskars

Hi everyone!  I have a fun little banner to share with you that I created for Mother's Day featuring the ever beautiful Reminisce Range.  It's that time of year to show our mom's how much we care and how much we appreciate all that they do for us.  Whether it be listening to our woes, chatting about our children  or just having a girls day out, we can always count on Mom!

We are also featuring an array of Fiskars products as well this month.  Not only does Fiskars have the cutest designs, but their punches work wonderfully!  

Reminisce's color palette is just absolutely perfect for all of your Mother's Day crafting projects!

Here are some close-ups of the banner:

I used the Large Easy Squeeze Punch: My Funny Valentine to make this flower.  I punched 8 paper hearts and 4 Vellum hearts to make this flower.  I placed 4 hearts together, points kissing,  on the page, and then created 2 more layers of 4 hearts, off-setting the hearts as I layered to make this flower.  

I love making medallions.  Ruby Rock-It's paper is a wonderful thick paper that holds up well with all of the scoring and folding that is involved- no tearing with this paper!  

After scoring my paper, I used my Fiskars border punch to create a pretty edge for my medallions.  I would recommend waiting to punch the edge until after you have scored your paper- this prevents tearing some of the delicate details while scoring.

Supplies Used:

Reminisce Range

Reminisce Cardstock Stickers

Reminisce Chipboard Buttons

Reminisce Chipboard Book

Reminisce Die Cut Pack

Vellum dots

Fiskars  Products:

In Stitches Border Punch

Double Bubble Border Punch

Up In The Clouds Interchangeable Border Punch

My Funny Valentine Squeeze Punch Large

Hi everyone!  I have a little bunny basket that I made for Easter using the luscious papers from the Arcadia range.  I'm always the one that creates  place cards or goody baskets for my family and I just fell in love with this idea.
We also swapped product with Therm o Web.  They have such awesome adhesives for every crafty job that you may have.

After cutting the paper to form the base of my basket, I cut strips of a coordinating paper from the Arcadia range and wove it with the base of the basket.

I used my forever favorite embellishment- the Decoupage packs to add some beautiful dimensional flowers.  I wanted to make my baskets beautiful and elegant, but I also needed them to be easy to recreate since I needed one for each family member.  The Decoupage packs make that possible.

Here is a closeup of the weaving that I did.  It actually took very little time to do. 

 

Supplies used:

Arcadia paper range

Arcadia Trimmings

Arcadia Tag Set

Arcadia Pearl Combo

Decoupage Pack

Bella! Heart Stickers

Bella! Organza Brads

 

A big Thank You to Therm O Web for all of the adhesives!

Kinda Krafty Birdhouse

Hi everyone.  I have a little birdhouse to share with you today featuring Ruby Rock-It Bella! Fundamental's new range- Kinda Krafty!

I took one look at this paper and thought- cute Birdhouse!  Strange how our brain works, right?

So, I sat down one evening ans started making patterns for this little house.

 

I used a border punch to make strips of paper for the roof.  Between the papers and the Fundamentals Accent pieces, I was able to make this cute little tag for the roof.

Here are some close-ups. 

 

Supplies used:

Kinda Krafty Paperz

Fundamentals Trims

Fundamentals Accents

Fundamentals Sparkles

 

I also want to thank Therm o Web, who has partnered with us this month.  They are awesome- just like their adhesives!!  Check them out for all of your adhesive needs. ( click HERE )

Easter Tags using Mother Nature and Therm o Web

Hi everyone.  I have a couple of tags to share with you  that I created for Easter using the beautiful Mother Nature range.  I am always drawn to all things pink, but Mother Natures's soft blues, creams and soft patterns are just too gorgeous!!  This month, we also were able to work with Therm o Web's wonderful line of adhesives!  Therm o Web has every adhesive you could ever need to create beautiful paper crafts (sewing projects as well). 

I printed a couple of vintage Easter images to use on my tags.  The Mother Nature range is just perfect for layering, glittering and creating vintage inspired paper crafts!

The flowers that I used in the upper right hand corner was simply cut from the Harmony paper.  I used some wonderful Foam squares from Therm O Web to add some dimension.  Their Foam Squares have a slightly higher dimension than other brands, which helps make your project pop that much more!

On this tag, I used the Quilling Kit from the Mother Nature range to make that adorable paper flower. 

I used the iCraft adhesive sheets with my cardstock to die cut the doily on this tag.  If you ever have unusual shaped papers to adhere, these are a great way to make sure all of those intricate cut papers stick exactly how you want them to. WIth a smudge of brown ink and some glitter, this little tag turned from sweet to beautiful.

Supplies used:

Mother Nature Range

Mother Nature Trimmings

Mother Nature Die Cut Pack

Mother Nature Cardstock Stickers

Mother Nature Chipboard Buttons

Mother Nature Quilling Kit

Bella Pearl Stickers

Bella! Organza Brads

Bella! Wedding Range
