Heartfelt Thank You Ornament Die Cuts

First, I nested the large and small circles together, secure with washi tape, and ran them through my die-cutting machine. This created my ring. Repeat with the green patterned paper to make a total of two rings. I cut one to intertwine and layer into one another. Pick out a die cut from the Gratitude Ephemera Pack and secure all with Adhesive Dots Medium.

Making the Flowers Come to Life

For the flowers, I die-cut the Sweet Cottage Flowers (medium and small blossoms) with the Origami Papers. The smaller flower had three layers and the larger had four layers. Thread a brad into each flower to secure. Mist with water and manipulate the petals for a realistic look. Then tap in onto the edges of the petals.

Cut off the liners from two Creative Photo Corner in Gold. They will accent the smaller flower (think leaves).

Embellishing the Rings

Place the corners on the lower-left area of the rings, using the flower as a guide. Then add an Adhesive Dot Medium on the back of the flower and adhere in between the corners.

Adhere the large flower on top of the die cut with an Adhesive Dot Medium.

Decorating the Ornament

Apply Adhesive Dots Medium randomly around the back of the rings. Then remove the top liners and adhere to the front of the plastic ornament. The ornament is a flat-round shape so it's easy to adhere.

Place 3D Foam Circles on the back of the Thank You sentiment die cut and center it on the front of the ornament.

Using Sparkling Bubble Rhinestones in Light Yellow and sequins with Adhesive Dots Micro, randomly place around the rings. Inside the ornament, add the lace trim as a filler. But you can add little trinkets, candy, or glitter instead. Thread ribbon to display!

There are five-category challenges (deadline is this Monday, 5/25) and this is my 12 x 12-inch scrapbook layout entry. Are you interested? Click Kawaii Paper Goods Subscription Bx Vol 1 Challenge (Public FB Post)!

**I receive products from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® and Spellbinders® Paper Arts 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.**

HAPPY Background

I wanted to do something different with my background and a way to use up extra washi tape! Loved how this turned out :) Trim the ends of the Gratitude Washi Tape and tuck behind in the back.

Origami Rolls

Next, I rolled three different designs of Gratitude ORIGAMI papers diagonally (to make it longer) and secured with an Adhesive Dots Small on the ends. Set aside.

Layered Panel Details

I cut a panel from the Gratitude 05 patterned paper and fussy cut the frame out. I'll use the rest for another future project.

Cut 9.5 x 4.5-inch rectangle from the mauve cardstock and make a fish-tail on the left side. Then cut 5.5 x 3.75-inch rectangle from Gratitude 02 patterned paper and ink the edges of it and the small cut-aparts from Gratitude 05 patterned paper.

Add a Creative Corner in Gold on each corner of the rectangle patterned paper. Using the E-Z Runner Grand Ultra Strong adhesive, place on a slight angle on top of the fish-tail cardstock.

Add 3D Foam Strips on all four sides of the frame and place it on top of the layer. Don't press yet as you will be tucking in more layers.

Tuck in the small cut-aparts with a combination of the E-Z Runner Grand Ultra Strong and 3D Foam Strips. Press everything to secure.

Finishing Up the Layers

With the E-Z Runner Grand Ultra Strong adhesive, adhere the layered cardstock to the 12 x 12 scrapbook page. Then, secure all the paper rolls on the left side of the layered frame with several Adhesive Dots Medium.

Print out your favorite photo and adhere it to the left-side of the open frame with the E-Z Runner Grand Ultra Strong adhesive.

Die-cut the oval frame shape with white cardstock and secure it on top of the rolled papers with a couple of Adhesive Dots Medium.

Add a die cut from the Gratitude Ephemera Pack with a piece of Crafty Foam Tape in White on the lower right corner of the frame.

Add sequins into a small Keepsake Envelope, take the liner off and seal the flap. After taking the back liner off, tuck it behind the photo as an accent.

This is how the layered panel looks like so far.

Working on the Embellishing

Apply mauve cardstock on a piece of 3D Creative Sheet Medium and die-cut the letters HAPPY. Take off the liner and place it underneath the layered panel.

After stacking the die cuts, secure them with a brad in the center and adhere with a couple of Adhesive Dots Medium to an oval die cut. Lightly mist the flowers with water to soften fibers and scrunch each layer to give it a more realistic look. Tap the edges of the flower and die cut circle with ink. I accented the oval die cut with Sparkling Bubble Rhinestones in Light Yellow.

Lastly, I die-cut a small heart with 3D Foam Creative Sheet Small.

After adding it to the H, peel off the top liner and apply gold glitter foil on top (color side UP) from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets in Holographic. Rub the foil with the fingertip to transfer the color. I randomly added sequins with Adhesive Dots Micro and some Sparkling Bubble Rhinestones in Light Yellow. And Done!

Craft Fancy: Happy Holidays Card using Craft Fancy Exclusive Dies From Memory Box

On several occasions, I have been asked to design a make 'n take project for either a retailer or manufacturer. This card project was for a stamp consumer show in Madison, Wisconsin. The challenge (more to myself) was to use these etched dies in a unique and interesting way without being overwhelming.

This is what I came up with...a Happy Holidays Card using Craft Fancy's exclusive dies from Memory Box. When completed, you will have a layered and dimensional holiday card.

**I receive products from Craft Fancy 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.**

Creating the Holiday Card Front

Use the Forest Landscape die to cut with a piece of 5 5/8 x 4" white cardstock. On the long side, place die on the top edge (making sure the tallest tree tip is just below the edge). NOTE: place wax paper between the die and cardstock for easy separation. Cut with manual die cutting machine. Remove die and flip the cardstock to repeat the same cutting steps.

When done, it should look like the piece on the left. Cut in half to create two borders like the pieces on the right.

Put the two borders together and shift a little to the desired look. NOTE: keep the top border steady and shift the back order. The top border will be the one showing up on the card front. Trim any harsh corner shown (think rolling slopes).

Use the Snowman Landscape die to cut with a piece of 5 1/2 x 3" white glitter cardstock. On the long side, place die on the top edge (making sure the snowman's head is just below the edge). Cut with manual die cutting machine. Remove die and flip the cardstock to repeat the same cutting steps.

When done, it should look like the piece on the left. Cut in half to create two borders like the pieces on the right. For this project, we only use one but you can either set aside for another project or place inside your card for an accent.

Placing the Pieces Together

Place your Forest Landscape border die cut about 1/2" from the bottom of your black glitter A2 size (5.5 x 4.14") card base, aligning the left edge of the border to the edge of the card base. Trim excess on the right side.

Use your Snowman Landscape border die cut as a guide and determine the placement of sentiment stamp. Remove Snowman border, ink the stamp and stamp onto the Forest border.

Next, add four 3D Foam Squares on the back of the Snowman border die cut. Place at the bottom edge of the card base and you're done!

Here's another look at the finished card.

Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L: Creating a Quick and Easy Thanksgiving Harvest Wine Bottle Tag

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Today I'm up on Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® Blog!! Did you ever have a last minute invitation to a dinner party and had nothing to bake/cook with? I will "sacrifice" my most favorite red wine for the occasion - HA! So into my craft studio I go to create a quick and easy wine tag...

For the tag base, I folded a piece of Kraft cardstock. Before I die-cut a banner shape, I placed the fold line right underneath the cut line to give it a long shape and trimmed the back. I wanted dimension to my tag so I pulled out the 3D Foam Creative Sheets and adhered my patterned paper on it before die-cutting another banner shape. See my step by step photos on how to...

Set the banner aside. Next, I die-cut my leaf and circle (opening for the bottle neck). Take out the tag base and emboss the leaf.

Ink the edge of the 3D Foam Creative Sheet banner shape and through the leaf die to highlight the embossed areas.

Wrap natural jute around the top of the banner, tie a knot and secure with a Dodz Adhesive Dots Mini.

Add 3D Foam Squares Black Mix regular squares on the back of the leaf die cut and center onto the banner.

To finish, peel off the liner in the back of banner and adhere on to the tag base. Now it's ready to hang on the wine bottle and to give! Loved how it turned out : )
