Patriotic Paper Bunting with Art Glitter and SU




My neighbor put up a fabulous fabric bunting to celebrate the 4th of July and it got me thinking about how to make one from paper.  So simple really:  just use the Stampin Up Rosette and layer it, add a little sparkle with Art Glitter and hang!
For each layer, I cut four of the rosette pieces and glued them together.  I over lapped the layers about 1/2" and glued.  I cut white circles in chip board and hot glued them on.  I cut a blue star with my Cricut and glued the Art Glitter Dragonfly Dazzlers on top (one of my all time Art Glitter products!) and glued this on top of my white circle.  I covered up my misaligned gluing with a few buttons and my bunting is ready to hang on the door!
And I am so excited to have something my husband will let me hang on our metal door.  Almost every wreath I have has some metal that he is sure will scratch the door.  Since this is made with paper, I have won the argument!

Tiny Touchs Make a Page

This is my last post on this term with The Robin's Nest and today I am sharing how tiny touches can make a page.  Now you may look at this page and think that I have spent too much time on the tiny touches, but scrap booking and paper crafting are about enjoying the creative process as much as preserving precious memories!  And there are many among us that like more than one craft, so why not use your favorite crafts on your paper projects!
I love the relaxing rhythm of crochet, but often find Afghans too time consuming.  So, once in a while I like to pull out my crochet hooks and use them on a page.  I put this page together in one evening.
I started by cutting a circle frame in The Robin's Nest Black Herringbone card stock and punching holes every 1/4 of an inch in the center.  I then blanket stitched around these holes.  You will need a foundation for your crochet to attach to your project and a blanket stitch is perfect for a foundation that won't rip your paper!  I used Timeless Twine and love the size of the hanks of twine.  They are perfect for this type of project!  I began crocheting with a chain stitch of three and attached them to my blanket stitch at every other blanket stitch.  For the second row, I again chained three stitches attaching them at the center stitch of my first row with a single crochet.  This embellishment is perfect for heritage pages, and a baby projects!
I cut my title using The Robin's Nest Silver Glitter Chipboard, with Cricut Close to My Heart Artiste cartridge.  I matted it on black card stock so that it pops off the page.
The background paper is Tropicana Fleur and I fussy cut the motif to tuck my embellished circle behind.  I love the Fleur paper so much that is hard to cover up the botanical goodness!  I added a row of black Diamond Dew Drops to get the look of a clock and added some fussy cut circles from The Robin's Nest Black and White Clock card stock.  The journaling block is also from The Robin's Nest.  I tied it with a bit more of the Timeless twine for a notebook border effect and to repeat it on the page. Can you see that I put a dew drop in the center of my vintage button to repeat the silver.  Don't you love this yellow, black, grey silver color scheme?!

Birthday Sweetness and Light with Moxie

There is always a card to be made and Moxie Fab World is often my inspiration.  This week's Tuesday Trigger:  All Sweetness and Light was once again, too good to pass up as an inspiration for a birthday card! Below is the inspiration photo.  I needed an excuse to get out the felt die cuts from CTMH and just like paper, embellish them with ink and dew drops!

Tiny Treasure with TRN

This month The Robin's Nest is teaming up with Timeless Twine and I thought it would be great for a baby page!  I love to crochet and make baby quilts, so I look a little inspiration from a crochet blanket fringe to make an embellishment.  I cut the blue circle with holes using Cricut's Accent Essentials cartridge.  I then made a blanket stitch around the edges with Timeless Twine.
 I cut 2 inch strips of Timeless twine and tied them onto the blanket stitch edging.  It make this fast and easy, I used a crochet hook.  On top of the blue circle I stamped the "Hello Life" using Close to My Heart stamp set and pop dotted it.  I punched a yellow circle for a mat for the circle title.  I combined it with The Robin's Nest Special Boys tag that says "Little Treasure," for my page title.


I added the star and heart from The Robin's Nest Special Boy Embellies Package.
I cut strips from the Rocking Horse and Fleur papers and faux top stitched them with a marker.  I cut "Celeste" using Cricut's Chalkboard Font.  Did you know that every week Cricut offers free digital files for use with their Cricut Craft Room software?  The first week of June was Chalkboard Fonts, so I took advantage of the freebie and cut my title.  I embellished the title with Amber Diamond Dew Drops.  I love this look!  And Diamond Dew Drops are on sale for the month of June at 20% off!  No need for a coupon, they are already marked down!
