Scrappin' the Details

SRM Sticker Design Team {Kraft Pillow Box}

 Good morning, my friends! Today, I am so excited to share with you that I am a part of theSRM Stickers Design Team! While at the CHA show in January,( was it January?), I was blown away by all the new product! I will admit it only took the simple white doily to draw me into their booth! SRM has so much to offer, and it is all about DIY. Take a simple package, and you can add your own details to make it into something special!

Here is a simple kraft pillow box, already diecutted for you!  All I did was add a few details, to call it my own.

SRM Pillow Box:

 

The pillow box above comes bare, and is perfect, as is. However, I am all about the details, so I ran it through an embossing folder to add instant texture! It is the perfect size to tuck a gift card, love note, or something sweet! I love anything kraft, so to find these, makes me happy.

 

 

On top of the pillow box, I adorn it with the simple white doily. I need to order more of these, soon! On top of the doily is a lace ribbon I had in my stash. Gives this box an instant feminine touch! I layered on top of the ribbon, a vellum scallop, and finish the top with a rosette. I  cut this rosette out of text paper I had on hand.  I think it is by Bazzill. I added another vellum circle, and finished it with a bit of stamping. I am all about adding layers, just because.

 

I added a gift tag to this pretty package, and embossed it, too! Why not? My sizzix was out! I layered the white tag with more text paper used in making the rosette, and my sentiment is a sticker!! Yes, that is right! Looks like stamping, to me. However, it is a clear sticker, and was the perfect final detail to this pillow box. 

Hope you enjoyed this pretty little box, and I look forward to sharing more creations using SRM products! Thank you Susan for having me!

4th of July Banner {Class at Timeless Treasures}

Happy Wednesday!

Today, I am sharing with you my 4th of July Banner that I will be teaching at Timeless Treasures. It has been a very long time that I have designed a class. However, I am ready to get back to doing what I love. This banner has bits & pieces from random paper collections. You will see Bazzill,
Canvas Corp., Pebbles, and Echo Park. I took some of my favorite patterns that screamed 4th of July to put this all together.  A perfect collaberation for the red, white, & blue.

This blog post is very photo heavy, as I created a banner with 10 panels. I also love the details that finish the final project. I wanted to share as many as I could with you. 

{I only had 30 minutes to assemble, and photograph. Sun was going down, and I was on my way to Roman's baseball game. My original idea was to tie blue tulle in between each of the panels. However,  I seemed to have misplaced it! LOL I still think it looks great without it, but will be extra special when I add it. }

4th of July Banner:

In this banner class we will be working with some of  my favorite elements: Vellum, heat embossing, rosettes, pinwheels. doilies, and lots of layering.  This will be perfect for your 4th of July celebration, and I hope you will join me in class as we create one panel at a time!

Details of the banner:

 

I love, love pockets created with vellum paper. Here I created an envelope to begin, and end the banner. You will find one more tucked in the middle, too. I layered with crepe paper that I ruffled using my sewing machine. I added a stripe paper to the inside, and of course added a bit of sparkle inside! 

 

 

 

 Now, here is another vellum envelope, but this time added it to a banner panel, just because.

 

 

 

Doily is white!  

 I think this is one of my favorites of all the panels! Just screams happy, and festive at the same time!

 

 Here on the tag. We will be playing with glitter, of course! Add in paint, and modeling paste, & we are learning a new technique!

 

 

 

 

Now for the details of my first class for 2014.
