Happy Easter! Therm O Web Super Tapes

Hello and Happy Spring!  

The flowers are starting to come up and the days are starting to get warmer!   How cute are the kiddos below in their Easter outfits from last year?  I loved their hats!  (Too bad Charlotte wasn't smiling).


I made the gold glitter and white flocked flowers with the SuperTape™ Adhesive Sheets from Therm O Web that I cut on my die cutting machine.  The Lazy Daisies cut file is available in the Just Nick store!  The springy papers and die cuts are from Pebbles and Pink Paislee. Isn't that bunny just adorable!


   


To begin, I added a piece of the square SuperTape™ to a piece of white cardstock, leaving the red film on one side.

   

Next, I ran this cardstock with the tape through my cutting machine to cut the flowers.  On my Silhouette Cameo, I used a blade depth of 7 and the double cut feature.
 

 Once cut, I weeded the design from my mat and pulled off the flower shapes.
   

Gently pull off the red film on a flower and add some loose gold glitter.  I glittered half of my flowers and used a white flocking powder on the others.  Once coated, it's best to rub in the glitter and flocking powder with your finger to make sure the flower is completely covered.

 
   


 Finally, I layered the flowers together to get the desired look for my page.  A few enamel dots or buttons make great centers, and you can pop them off your page with some 3D Zots™!  And that bee brad was a bonus find in my stash from an old Crate Paper collection called Neighborhood.


 





 

Stay scrappy my friends!  Hope you had a wonderful Easter weekend!

Create your own sunshine! Weekly Scrapper at Scrapbook Expo blog!

Hello there!  I am so excited to share that I was asked to contribute as the Weekly Scrapper to the Scrapbook Expo blog this week!  I had to make a special project exclusive for the blog, and I get to finally share it with you today!  

You can check out the Scrapbook Expo blog HERE for some more details about this project, a few of my other favorite pages, and a little Q & A about me!  

So this was the first real *warmer* day of spring, and my daughter came running off the bus, whipping her coat off yelling, "It's SUMMER!  It's SUMMER!"  It was really about 50 deg. F.!  lol.  But she was full of energy, and after a long winter, the sunshine just does that to you!

Now, honestly, I DON'T dress my kids to match my scrapbook papers, but the navy shirt my daughter was wearing in these photos just went so well with the Saffron Yellow collection from Jillibean Soup!  You can see the collection HERE in the My Scraps & More store.

The first thing I wanted to do was cut out these beautiful flowers from the patterned paper.  So I fussy cut the large flowers and then popped up some smaller flowers in the middle with tiny black brads for centers.

My background is a white on white flower die cut with a floral cut file from the Silhouette store.  Once I glued the die cut down, I machine stitched inside some of the flower shapes to add some texture and interest.

I am so honored to have been asked to contribute to the Scrapbook Expo blog!  You must check it out!  There is a ton of inspiration there!

Stay scrappy my friends!
