I’m an eP Friend…
Aug 24th, 2007 by Jen
Yea!! Joy asked me if I would like to be the eP {eclecticpaperie.com} friend this week. Well, of course I would!! I love all the stuff that Joy and Daisy have put in their store. Right now I’m saving my pennies {and nickels, dimes and quarters} for a Bind-It-All!! I find myself perusing the merchandise quite frequently, which leads me to happy mail quite frequently…if you know what I mean!! Hugs to Joy and Daisy for having me as the eP friend of the week! I’d like to share with you some of the stuff that I have come up with using stuff that I am not currently hoarding.
In case you haven’t noticed, they have an **awesome** selection of papers! Taylor kept mentioning Crate Paper, so when I saw it in the store, I snapped some up. This one sheet box (I swear it’s a bag…LOL!) features paper from the Cowgirl Collection. I made a matching zipper pull/keychain using Maya Road Blossom chipboard {**on sale now**} covered in the same paper and then covered with Crystal Effects from SU!.
I also made a card with some fun stuff from eP. Last week my happy mail included FLOCK!! I’ve played with this fun fuzzy stuff a little bit before, but never really experimented with it. A couple night ago I decided to see what I could do with it. Now, I admit I didn’t go all crazy, but I do like what I came up with. I took a medium weight coaster and covered it with {sheet} sticky tape from Provo Craft, then I ran it through the Cuttlebug to get a flower die cut with one sticky side. I covered that sticky side in Pixie Pink flock and then embellished it with a button with ribbon. The stem was created with polka dot grosgrain ribbon and the sentiment is from My Favorite Things. **MFT is coming out with something NEW on the first…Sneak Previews coming soon!!**
Last but not least, I have to share this super cute pic of Ellie in my shades. She’s such a ham!!
I’ll have a new sketch for you to try tomorrow. TGIF!
Great projects! I love the flocking on the flower. I haven’t used flocking in so long I’m gonna have to pull it out and see what I can do!
Can’t wait for your sketch
Enabler!!! :0) I’ve been resisting the flock and now because of you I’ll just have to trot over to their store and get some. Darling pic of Ellie!
Oh great box and keychain!!
That card with the fun flock and flower is so cute! I just got fun flock a month ago and have used it a couple of times…so fun!
Cute picture of Ellie too!
Jen, that bag is to die for! Awesome! Love the pull tag too!
Great cards, love that flower, have not tried flocking but have been wanting to and you are giving me that push, really like how you used the ribbon for the stem.
Oh my! Ellie is too cute! I need to get me some fun flock!
Oh My Gosh! You come up with the most WONDERFUL ideas! I saved this one in one of my files because I’ve got to try that! Thanks for showing all of the fun stuff you got!
