This is one of the few times when I knew exactly what I was going to make as a gift. I know, eh! It surprised me too! First up, the card.
The Year of Cheer DSP is the most amazing paper! For this particular sheet, the shiny bling was already there, and all I did was sponge dauber the ink onto the paper.
I die cut the letters and used Foam Adhesive Strips to the back. No dimensionals this time.
I added a few Glitter Enamel Dots, and that's the card! Simple, quick and pretty darn tootin' cute.
Next up - the gift. A labour of love.
To start this project, I painted the wooden letter, then went to a framing shop for a shadow box so I would know how much space I would have around the letter.
I then started cutting the paper, in the case, known as fringing. I didn't count how many fringed flowers I made. Jeeps though - if I had I'd probably faint! LOL
I use my paper snips from Stampin' Up! Super sharp and they have the best tips of all my scissors.
If by now you're thinking, this gal is crazy, I assure you, I'm not. When I said it was a labour of love, it truly is for me. From each tiny flower, to all the finishing touches; creating something beautiful brings me so much joy.
Here's the project in the shadow box. The pic looks a little off kilter, and that's because I had the hardest time getting a good photo without a reflection on the glass.
I want to give a shout out to the Framing & Art Centre on Belmont St in Kitchener. Kris was 100% amazing, helpful and clearly customer service is top of the list for her!
