Bree's Nosegay

This has to be my most favorite thing I have made from paper. It's a nosegay for my goddaughter for her upcoming recital. Her costume is black and red so her mom thought bright mixed colors would look great, and they do! I added a black tulle bow with an inset of sheer red glitter ribbon to match her costume.

The technique I used for making the flowers is from Anna Fearer, More Paper than Shoes.

Recipe:

Flower file ~ Scraptastical Kreations

Paper ~ Core'dinations and Recollections Cardstock Paper

Stamens ~ The Crafts Outlet

Lace collar ~ Joanne's

Black Tulle / White tulle

Sheer red glitter ribbon

Florist wire and green tape

Shaped Mother's Day Card

Today I have a fun shaped card I made using flower files from Scraptastical Kreations and my Cameo. I laid out the design I wanted on the screen then highlighted everything and chose offset and re-sized to about .20. Inside that shape I did and internal offset which I used to make the green background. With the white shaped outline, I mirrored that image above and welded together where the flower petals met to make the actual card. The little faces make them look so cheery, I love how it came out!

Recipe:

Papers: Colorbok

Cutting Files: Scraptastical Kreations

Stamped Faces: Peachy Keen Stamps

Ribbon: Really Reasonable Ribbon

Sketch Tool: HotPaws Creations

Zig Evergreen Marker

Charm: Oriental Trading

Wishing you all a very Happy Mother's Day!

Peachy Challenge 16:: 3D Objects:: SOUPer Fun!

This challenge required us to use a soup can to create a project. I decided to make my can a utensil holder to use during barbecues this summer.  I thought a giant bean cooking a frank over an open flame would be a fun take on this. The saying is from one of our favorite shows, Mythbusters.

Papers ~ Recollections and DCWV
