ABC Friday…
TGIF! Today I have a couple of things to show you. First, I made some of my own embellishments using the Slice machine, Cuttlebug, Primas, a button and dimensional glue dots. These were SO EASY to put together and ANYONE can do this! So, you are saying, “I don’t have a Slice machine!” No problem…if you have scissors, you can cut a couple flowers out of paper. Yes, that is a **little** more work, but it does work!
Here’s the finished product, which I will be giving away VERY SOON…
How I did it…
First, I cut 2 different 2 flowers with the Slice machine (2″ and 1.5″). I used the Swiss Dots Cuttlebug embossing folder to emboss the larger one. I then placed a dimensional glue dot between the 2 flowers. I glued a Prima flower on top and then topped it all off with a button. Done and done!…easy peasy! I made all six in less than 20 minutes…including the packaging!
I have one more thing to show you today. This is the project that I did for the Verve Stamps Project Parade. The theme this month is “Egg-stra Special Spring.” All of the DT members have been posting their special projects with this theme on the Verve blog. I chose to make little favor/treat bags. These are really tiny and cute! The bag measures about 2.5″ x 3.5″.
See you tomorrow for another SKETCH FOR YOU TO TRY!
I love the Slice flowers with the swiss dots. The bag is adorable too!
Jen….This is so fantastic. When I saw the picture…I thought where do I buy these new embellishments and then I saw you made them! You really do a great job bringing new and innovative things our way!
Jen…all I can say is WOW! How exciting….and to think I had neer even heard of a Slice Machine….I just got finished doing some research….and I’m going out to get one today! Once again, you have blown me away with your creativity…..I think your mojo is definately back….2 nights ago I was laying in bed awake at 1am, not able to get over a terrible card I made….so I got out of bed and went down and stamped unitl I came up with something I liked…..at that point it was 3 am, but I could finally get to sleep! LOL! Thanks again for al your amazing projects….they are truly inspiring!
Super cute! Love those treat bags!
