TULLE FLOWER RIBBON PIN & VIDEO

 

This lovely Flower Pin was made using the Cherry Cobbler Tulle Ribbon from the Holiday Mini Catalog. It looks stunning on a Jacket, Sweater, Purse, a Gift Bag or Present. The Tulle also comes in 2 other colors- Crumb Cake and Early Espresso.  They would make gorgeous Flowers too.  Watch the video and you can see how easy it is to make them.

 

 

SNOWMENT TEA LIGHTS

 

I want to give credit to Becky Roberts for posting her darling tea lights! It was a delight to make these at our November's card class.

 

Tip:  Color your Pearls with a permanent marker (Sharpie). You can color your rhinestones too!

DESIGNER ROSETTE DIE SNOWMAN

 

 

This was soooo much fun to make!  I'm sure you've noticed my facination with snowmen!

Here, Here, Here, & Here.

AND I love the Big Shot Bigz Die- Designer Rosette. I made the Pumpkin a few years ago, without the Bigz Die, and let me tell you, I made this in a fraction of the time! If you don't have the Rosette Die, you can make it too, by scoring each strip 1/2".

 

The finished Snowman measures 13" tall x 7" wide

 

Recipe:

Whisper White Card Stock
3- 3" x 11" Strips (body)
6- 2.5" x 11" Strips ( 1- body, 1- head)

Run the Whisper White Strips thru the Big Shot using the Designer Rosette Bigz XL Die. Accordian Fold and attach 3 strips together and form a Rosette.  I used a hot glue gun and my Silicone Craft Sheet to form each  Rosette.

Tip:  Nose is layered buttons tied with linen thread then topped with a brad.- LOVE IT!

ENGLISH IVY STATIONERY AND PERSONALIZED MONOGRAM STAMP

 

A fun way to step up the English Ivy Stationery Set is to add a stamp image and your own Monogram Stamp.  We add Stylin' Snowman in Soft Suede and using the blender pen and Crumb Cake  to add shadow and texture. I made a folder to hold my envelopes and notes.

 

Did you know that you can order several different personalized stamps?  You can add your own greeting, tag line, blog address, return address, business information, etc..  See pages 146-147 in our Annual Catalog.
