AND MY SPECIAL WORD IS: WAY

We are all using Red, White and Blue.. OK I cheated a bit
and it's slightly creamy but love the combo and look from this
Bo Bunny collection.


In the close ups you can see some of the clustered sections, 
the fun fussy cut banner, the metal accent, the rub on stars and the 
traced arrows.


The fussy cut banner is clustered here with the fabulous 
chipboard accent  and I added the twine wrapped around the photo.



In this section are some cute brads, some border cut to make a corner
and the lower star strip is cut of the accent paper sheet.
Be sure to check out the other amazing creations that the 
DT has to share over at SWAT

The Robins Nest and great news



I am super excited to share that I have made The Robin's Nest Design Team.
I have been using their dew drops for years now as amazing accents
on water pages, hockey pages, winter snowflake pages and in a cluster of bling,
buttons and even twine where they were perfect. 
They also made great accents on cards and even made great clusters in the centre of flowers.
I am excited to get this opportunity to be introduced to many other 
more of their products and will be  able to share with you. 
Watch for my upcoming Posts using this product.

Below are some of my projects that I used The Robin's Nest Product.

Hi...here today with a  Just Imagine Crafts. post.I thought it would be fun to make a card
for a friend just to say thanks.
I used used a fun floral paper as background and then made the accent to
detail a flower from matching scraps of paper and mix of monochromatic colours.
Punching small strips of punched edges using Kreaxions Punch #310 and layering
them into a round circular shape of a flower.

the Robin's Nest dew drops to accent the flower.

Mini Album and Kreaxions Punching

Just imagien


Hi coming to you from Just Imagine Crafts.. 
the best circle cutter ever and amazing punches.
Using Kreaxions Punch #309 to make this fabulous back page of my mini album.
I wanted something special and fabulous because it will sit on a stand in the living room.


In the close up you can see the many layers both punched, matted and layered
again. The thin black line is perfect to make the soft yellows pop and 
look at the matted flowers.
In the centre I used 2 SRM stickers to touch it off.
The paper is Pink Paislee.
When making this I used the stencil A for punch placement
around the circles and the Kreaxions Circle Cutter.

Practical Scrappers - July feature with ME - Twine and Homemade Flowers


Hi Bev here today at Practical Scrappers. I am excited to do my 1st feature
 to share with you. Over time I have learned to make many 
flowers to add to my pages and here is just another one but
with so much twine available today here is my florals with added twine.


The above photo shows on the left the twine florals  that I purchased 
and on the right are the florals I made that were inspired by the others.
All different sizes and layers.... added twine and some buttons.
Twine on the bottom, middle, on top or through the buttons.. 
so many amazing options. 
Supply list:
Paper & accents: Momenta PA 2382, ST 4741, ST 4751
Bling: Prima
Title Stickers: Carta Bella
Other: twine, paint, washi tape, buttons, ink


I took it one further on this layout with more integrate punched bases, fun
 twine around and through along with the centre french knots on one.
They made a great cluster here with added buttons and bling.


This piece was much larger with single base and twine
 and put a metal button on the centre.


On this section is a circle cut with a large centre circle cut out so I
 could wind the twine around and around until it filled the full circle.


And this section I am sharing to show the twine flight path and the twine bow 
that was tied around the matted piece behind my photo.

Thanks for joining me today and hope you'll try this method 
of making your  own twine florals. So easy and it allows 
you to match to your paper collection.
