Paper Flower Breadboards

When I went to Creativation in January, I needed to take a couple of fun gifts to some special people.  I decided to make paper flowers and attach them to these little breadboards I had cut for my craft show.

This one in the pretty aqua blues was for Jennifer McGuire. I was meeting her for the first time, so asked around what her favorite color was. *Ü*

This one was for Nicole Peterson, the owner of Picket Fence Studios.  She loves greens.

  The rose is handmade from my own pattern, but the rest of the flowers are from dies.

Cottage Bloom Die Set, Layered Blooms Dies, Bundle of Flowers Die, 

These were so fun to make and give. Thank you to @bearwooddesigns on Instagram for cutting my wood.

I Chews You Gift Tag

 The I Chews You stamp set and dies make adorable tags as well as cards.  

It is perfect for larger packaging like this box and gift bags too!

I colored the gumball machine with Copic markers.  The top is covered with window sheet so it looks like glass.  I colored and cut all the little hearts for the inside and also added a few hanging out of the bottom. Lastly, put the I'll Stick With You sentiment over the glass.

Pretty cute little tag, isn't it?!

Technique Tuesday February Release

Today I have two new stamp sets to show you from the February Release at Technique Tuesday.

The first one is called Mixed Flower Bouquet and is from their Greenhouse Society Collection.

I stamped the flower in black on white cardstock and then added a stamped and colored arrangement on top with foam squares.  The flowers are colored with Copic markers.  I added a few rhinestone jewels in the mix.

Mixed Flower Bouquet Bundle

I stamped and cut out the floral arrangement, colored in with Copic markers, and added it to a tag with foam squares.  I added a little bit of green cardstock behind some of the leaves for added dimension.  The card base is embossed with polka dots.

The second set is a fun bunny set called Some Bunnies and is from their Animal House Collection.

This set has a tiny little butterfly, dragon fly, flowers and carrot.  I wanted to make a wreath but didn't have any greenery, so I cut some bunny ears in green cardstock - LEAVES!

Some Bunnies Bundle

This one shows all three bunnies and all the tiny pieces just hopping by with a happy hi.

I had a bunny left over so I created a little box for him and he now holds candy.  It's super tiny - these are mini Tic Tac packs.

Wooden Ball Paper Flower Wreath

Today I have a home decor piece to show you that was inspired by a blog post on Lolly Jane.  

I thought this was so pretty and unique to use the wooden balls and you all know how much I love my paper flowers!

I started with a 16" wood wreath frame similar to this one.  In hindsight, I wish I had made it 14"... I may take this apart at some point. That's how I roll once I get something in my head. *Ü*

I purchased 1" split wood balls and adhered them to the wreath form with E6000 glue. I let it sit overnight. 

The box is just to protect the table from my fabulous glue skills.

Then I got started making paper flowers.

Peony die, Daisy die and Layered Blooms die (the dark gray spikey center is from the Daisy die).  The roses are handmade with my own pattern.  Leaves are from the peony die but I did add a few from this leaf die.

I glued them all on with hot glue.

Now, which way to hang it?  With the flowers at the bottom?

Flowers to the left side?

 Flowers to the right side?

Just laying down so Cheeto can sit on it?

Awesome dish towel is from Julie.  It says 'Stove is for Display Only'. 

Ultimately I decided flowers to the right but I'm still turning it every time I go out there.  It's pretty in every direction!

What do you think?  Will you make one?
