St. Patrick's Day Card

Happy St. Patrick's Day!  Are you wearing green today so you don't get pinched?  I am!

 

Today I'm sharing this simple card I made using some festive St. Patrick's Day paper. 

 

 

I fussy cut the "lucky me" shamrock from a piece of patterned paper and attached it with a pop up glue spot that I made using the Best Glue Ever.

Bonjour Acrylic Card

Hello, today I wanted to share with you this fun acrylic card I made using Clear Scraps Scallop Send it Clear Card. 

 

 

The card kit comes with two scalloped pieces but for this card I only used one. The patterned paper is from Bo Bunny, I inked the edges of the paper and "inked" the acrylic with acrylic paint.  I then used my crop-a-dile to punch holes in the card base and scallop piece to create a unique closer using ribbon.  Add a little bling to the scallop edge and the center of the flower on the coffee cup and some thickers for a sentiment of choice.

 

Supplies used

 

Scallop Send it Clear Card - Clear Scraps

Patterned Paper - Bo Bunny

Foam Letters - Thickers by American Crafts

Rhinestones

Acrylic Paint

 

Paper Pieced Fairy Invitation

My oldest daughter recently turned 6 and had a fairy themed party.  And let me tell you that it was not easy finding fairy items, especially non Disney fairy items.  So I created these fairy invitations from a paper pieced fairy cut using my cricut.

 

 

Paper piecing is a breeze with ScraPerfect products.

 

Just use a little bit of the Best Glue Ever.  Then use Embellie Gellie to pick up the next piece.

Embellie Gellie picks up paper easily and releases when the paper is adhered to the paper.

Fairy Party

Hey everyone, today I want to share something a little different with you.  My oldest turned 6 recently and we celebrated with a fairy / princess party.  So here are a few of the elements of the party.

 

Fairy Lights

 

 

To make these "fairy lights" I simply tied strips of tulle to create sort of a tulle flower, about 6 strips per flower.  The color scheme was pink, green and purple. 

 

Fairy Pinata

 

 

This piñata was simple to make once I found the base I wanted to use.  I saw a similar piñata on pinterest and was trying to make something similar.  I found a set of round paper lanterns on clearance at Target.  So this ended up only costing me about $5 to make with the lantern, dollar store flower petals that I hot glued on and then dollar store flower bunches that I separated into smaller bunches.

 

Fairy Cake

 

 

The base is a 10" round cake with fondant and butter cream.

 

 

The top cake is one of those giant cupcake pans.  I just left the base without icing to make it look like a tree.

 

 

Everything on this cake is edible, the fairies are made from fondant too.

Clean acrylic with the Best Cleaner EVer

 

Good Morning, today I wanted to share with you a quick and easy way to clean up a piece of acrylic.  You can find all the details on the ScraPerfect blog, but I'll share my tips here too.

 

 

Here's the acrylic piece from Clear Scraps that I wanted to use.  I didn't like how it turned out the first attempt so I removed the paper and stickers and started over.  But first I had to clean the acrylic.

 

A little spritz of the Best Cleaner Ever from ScraPerfect and a little rub on both sides.  Let sit for several minutes and wipe clean with a soft cloth like the Perfect Cleaning Cloth.

 

Looks good as new and I was able to create something new with it.

Valentine's Bouquet
