Welcome Sign Made With Prickly Pear

I thought I'd share a sign I made the other day...still need to add ribbon at the top to be able to hang it. I used the Stamp Of The Month, CTMH's Prickly Pear paper, blue burlap ribbon, and some prickly pear sequin to add a bit of bling. 

After looking at the photo, I might put it in a frame instead...which way to do you think it would look better?

Wreath Kit To Make A Beautiful Wreath Without Alot Of Work!

I realized I didn't share the wreath I made with the wreath kit (January's special). You can buy the kit for $18.95 or earn it FREE (see my website for details on what counts to get it free)! 

The kit takes around 2 hours if you do it exactly how they made it (comes with photos & directions). The kit is also pre-cut so it makes it easy to put it together (you'll just need adhesive: glue dots, Z341 and liquid glass, Z679). 

It took me about 4 hours because I inked some of the flowers, with Cranberry ink, Z2816 using a sponge, Z697 and I also used the gold shimmer brush pen, Z3316 to add some bling to it. For the roses I used my Quilling Tool, Z1795, to roll them (so easy!). I plan to use Whisper Thick Twine, Z3095, to hang it up. The kit also comes with gold alphabet stickers so you can make it more personal (I put "Welcome" but you could put your name, or craft room, or hello...whatever you would like!). Go check it out, and if you have any questions just let me know!

 

Welcome Sign ~ CTMH's Zoe Paper Pack With Shimmer Trim

I thought today I'd share another one of the projects I've been working on using the "Zoe" paper pack. I wanted to change the header on my Facebook business page. I like having a "Welcome" sign there...so when you come to my page it is the 1st thing you see. The one I had I loved (I love the color combo of pink / grey / black) but it was retired paper (from a while back) and I thought it was time to make a new sign with new CTMH paper. Change is good (at least sometimes). I used the Zoe paper pack (X7197B) with the coral shimmer trim (Z3088). I cut the letters using my Artiste Cricut cartridge (Z3170). I sponged (Z697) the letters with black ink (Z2105) and then outlined them with a black pen (Z1979). I like how it turned out...it's not fancy, but I like the clean, simple look. What do you think?

Need An Adorable Mother's Day Gift Idea? Or A Wedding Shower Gift Idea?

I thought today I would share a fun idea using the Chantilly paper pack. Close To My Heart used a picture frame to make this. You could put a picture in it and give it as a Mother's Day gift or hang it on your front door (maybe change the word Hello to Welcome). Another idea would be to give this as a wedding show gift (change the word Hello to the wedding date or the couple's last name). So many fun ideas!  

Ps. The bow is made with the new fabric (Chantilly Textiles Z1819). The flowers are made using the Chantilly paper (X7163B) and the Quilling Tool (Z1795). They also included the Chantilly Assortment (Z1814), Mini-Medley Accents (Z1837), Clear Sparkles (Z1752), and some stamping with Frame Flair D1546 & Happy Thoughts C1536. The letters you could use a stamp set, stickers or font from the Cricut.
