Flying Crane Baby Cards

Good Afternoon Bloggers!

Surprisingly these two cards were very fast to create.

I don't have any baby sentiment stamp so I printed the "happy new baby" onto the card stock.

I saw this card here.

Jumbo Crochet Flower For Flip Flops

Hello,
We finally had a few nice days after all those rain.  The weather felt like Summer and it is going to be another nice one today.

And speaking of Summer look at these cute flip flop!

I promise my daughter that I would put some flowers on her flip flops.  I let her chose the flowers and rhinestone to go in the flower center.  I thought she did great with her choice of colors.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Romantic Roses Necklaces

Hello Bloggers!

My friend Pat (Hi Pat) suggested that I made different colors for the spiral rose necklaces that I made last time.    So I made these.

Due to the dark background, it was very hard to take good pictures.  I really like how they turned out.  I used the same wooden circle piece.  I cut black card stock and mount it on the wooden piece then I sponged the edge with black ink to blend everything.  I painted Mod Pod all over the pendant to make it stronger.

Thanks for looking!

Lattice Cards

Good Morning Bloggers!
I saw this card here.

I made a similar card before.  You can see them  HERE. Learned that from HERE. It was very difficult  to make those two cards so I haven't thought of making it again.  But now I found an easier way to make this design.

Here it is

I mounted all the card pieces that I needed for the card (card base on the bottom then the mounting piece then the top piece) using just a bit of the temporary adhesive to hold the pieces in place.  Then I placed my die cut right in the center and ran them through the Big Shot.

The Spellbinder only cut through two layers of cards but it leave a good impression on the third card stock.  Using a craft knife  I cut the shape out and you will have this

 
 Take the very top piece and turn it over. Then apply double sticky tape around the shape.  I see I only had the tape on the two sides.  You should add adhesive on the top and the bottom too.

Cut a bunch of small strip papers.  Mine were 1/8" and mount them on the tape like this. 

Don't worry about the excess strips. You can trim them once you are done.

Then weave the other strips in and press onto the tape. 

Cut off any excess strips.  Apply more sticky tape and mount it to the mounting pieces (center piece).
and you will have this.  Then mount this onto the card base.

Here is the finish card.

Origami Cherry Blossom Ball

Good Morning Bloggers!

I had been wanting to make this origami cherry blossom ball since I first saw it  a long time ago.  I finally stumbled upon the TUTORIAL and made all these.  There were 30 pieces for each ball and each piece had so many folds that I was only able to make one ball in a day.

 
I used glue to assemble these balls. I wanted to make sure the ball stay in one piece.  I had so many of these origami balls. I might want to sell them at the craft shows and I don't want the pieces to fall out.

Thanks again for taking a peak.

Hair Clips

Hello Everyone,
I  made this hair clip using the Stampin' Up! Flower Fold die.  After cutting all the pieces I  melted each petal.  There were at least 8 layers for each hair clip.  I know that was a lot of melting! But once you get the hang of it, they were pretty fast to melt.

The back of the hair clip

And these are the flowers that I made before.  I used them for hair bands.  My daughter lost this pink one.

and here are a few more

Thanks for stopping by!

Wishing you a lovely day!
