Asuka Studio: Thank You Ornament

This is the second project for Asuka Studio design team works featuring Washi Tape and Ephemera pieces from her latest collection, Forest Friends. I am using it to embellish a plastic ornament that was left over from last year's holidays with a spring theme! What do you think?

**I receive products from Memory Palette Co. and Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® for use in my projects. The opinions are completely my own based on my experience and doing so I can share what I personally love to use.**

Thank You Ornament Instructions:

Wrap the Forest Friends 2 Washi Tape 15 x 10 mm around the ornament. I used one side to bring the tape ends together and made it the back side of the ornament.

Next, I took the pansy wreath and yellow butterfly die cuts from the Forest Friends Ephemera pack. These will be layered together and added in the front of the ornament.

The butterfly was attached to the wreath using 3D Foam Circles in small size and for its center, I added one small bubble from the Sparkly Bubble Rhinestone Light Purple pack for a little sparkle :)

To secure the die cuts to the ornaments, I used Adhesive Dots Large. These clear double-sided adhesive dots stick to anything including these plastic and washi tape surfaces!

This is an image of both the back and front side of the ornament. LOVE!

For the filler, I used colored glitters and microbeads but you can add potpourri for scent or fill it up with beads or even candy too! Use your imagination :)

Hope you enjoyed this easy and fast craft. Get your kids involved or make it a CRAFTnoon with friends.

Thanks for stopping by!

Asuka Studio: Winged Love Note Card

Posting my design team works for Asuka Studio featuring Washi Tape and Ephemera pieces from her latest collection, Forest Friends. How are you using your washi tapes? I thought I share how I created this sweet dimensional card.

**I receive products from Memory Palette Co., Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® and JustRite® Papercraft for use in my projects. The opinions are completely my own based on my experience and doing so I can share what I personally love to use.**

Winged Love Note Card Instructions:

First I wanted to create the centerpiece which was a wreath-inspired shape. I nested two circle craft dies together to form a ring using a scrap piece of cardstock. Next, I covered with the Forest Friends 2 Washi Tape over the shape. For a finished look on the back and to secure the washi tape, even more, I cut another ring and adhered it with E-Z Runner® Micro. Set aside.

For the card panel, I cut 4.25 x 5.50-inch white cardstock. Again, I wrapped Forest Friends 2 Washi Tape around it and used Crafty Foam Tape Black to secure it to the white card base.

For the second layer, I die-cut the frame shape from the Heart and Frame Die Set with white cardstock.

To adhere to the card front, I used the E-Z Dots® Permanent. When I am not using the Adhesive Sheets, I use this runner because it covered the intricate designs and does not leave a stringy residue in the open areas.

To bring a little sparkle, I added on Rhinestone Light Pink on the frame die cut. There are three sizes of rhinestones so convenient to have! I used the large and medium sizes for the frame.

Use 3D Foam Circles in small size on the back of the ring shape and center it on the frame die cut on the card front.

Place 3D Foam Square in regular size to the back of the winged love note die cut from the Forest Friends Ephemera pack and center inside the ring shape on the card front. Add a small rhinestone from the Rhinestone Light Pink on the heart.

Add two butterfly die cuts from the Forest Friends Ephemera pack (I chose the grey/blue and pink butterflies) and adhere on the top and bottom center of the ring shape with Adhesive Dots Small. Then center a medium rhinestone from the Rhinestone Light Pink on each of the butterfly.
