3D PAPER FLOWER EMBELLISHMENTS

Hello everyone. I would like to thank those of you who took the time to email me saying that they missed me.  And that I inspired you with my creations. As much as I love to share crafting tips, projects and tutorials on my blog, sometimes there just isn't enough time. I have orders for Custom Exploding Box Invitations I need to fill. So, I do hope you understand my long absence in the blogosphere. 

Today, I would like to share tips on how to make your gift boxes, place cards or escort cards more presentable. It's a little detail, that will let your recipients know that you really put an effort into the gifts or party decorations. 

The first flower is the Begonia flower. If you have a die cut or electronic cutting machine, this is very easy to make. Just download the file and assemble the flower. You can ink the edges or distress it, it is up to you. You can find my old 3D Paper Flower Tutorial here. 

These paper Begonia Flowers are a great addition to your DIY Wedding Favor Boxes, Quinceanera Gift Favor or Recordatorios, or simply use it to adorn your Place Cards or Escort Cards. 

The second Flower is a Rolled Paper Rosette. I LOVE love this paper rosettes! This 3D flower makes those ordinary escort cards extra ordinary. I think this is great for those Sweet 16th Escort cards or Quinceanera place cards/escort cards. 

You can check my previous Valentine project where I linked the tutorial on how to make paper rosettes here.

Thank you very much for stopping by today. I will continue to come up with new ideas on how to embellish your projects. Also, I am working on the 3rd Edition of my Christmas E-book, I would love to know what you would like me to include this time. Please feel free to leave me a comment and I promise to keep your input in mind for the Christmas E-book. 

Ribbon Art Canvas

 Hi Everyone! Finally, I can show my first project I designed for MayArts as one of their official May Arts DT Member. I am excited to share some Ribbon Art Canvases I created using MayArts Ribbons and the Stampendous Jumbo Peony Stamps. I was inspired with some Fabric Art Canvases I saw online so I decided to try it with ribbons. I love to incorporate 3D items that are functional in my projects, that's why I make sure that there are 3D objects on these Ribbon Art Canvases.

I enjoyed working on this Art Canvas. The combination of MayArts Ribbons and Stampendous Stamps is perfect.

Don't you just love my 3D Stamp Peony Flower? It looks so real, beautiful and Jumbo! I love it !  To get more realistic look, shape your flower cut-outs using a bone folder and use a 3-dimensional adhesive when you create your layers.

Ribbon Art Canvas Tutorial

1. Paint up your canvas using a color that harmonizes with all of your ribbons. 
2. Cut enough ribbons depending on the design you want to achieve. Add enough length to each end to allow it to wrap around to the back of the canvas. 
3. Lay out the ribbons on the canvas to get an idea of the look you want to achieve. At this point, also decide on the placement of your stamp image if you are stamping your canvas. 
4. Stamp canvas, emboss and color depending on your liking. ( I did stamp my canvas using the Stampendous Cling Jumbo Peony Stamp Set+ Stampendous Jumbo Perfectly Clear Handle + Eggplant Purple ink pad . For the focal point, I used VersaMark Ink and heat emboss it.  I then  stamp more Peony image  on a textured paper and color ed it with Cameo Rose using the sponge dauber. I cut-out the flowers image from the textured paper and created a 3D Peony Flower.
5. Spray adhesive directly at the backside of the ribbon and attach it to the canvas. Note: if you are covering the whole canvas with ribbons, it is more easier to spray the canvas with adhesive and lay your ribbons on the canvas.
6. Optional: If you want to create a Ruffle Pleated ribbon. Just create pleates on the ribbon of your choice and sew a straight stitch. 
7. Attached the 3D Peony Cut-Outs right on top of your embossed flower. This is your focal image. 
8. Hang on your wall and admire! 

I enjoyed making these Ribbon Art Canvases. I made a couple more. I think they are beautiful. I will try to make more with some hardware embellishments attached to it. And when I'm all finished I will hang it on my home office wall.

Pink & Black Ribbon Art Canvas

Give this awesome project a try . This is an inexpensive way to decorate a wall. You can even make a new look on every season or when you are tired of  the design. Just remove the ribbons and re-use them on other projects and start over!

Window Card + Envelobox Hand Bag + Vellum 3D Flowers Tutorial

Hello everyone!  I am back with another 3D project. Today, I will be sharing not one but three projects. So brace yourself, I am warning you - there are lots of photos! You better grab a cup of coffee. LOL! Yes, today I will be sharing with you the Humphrey Window Card + the Envelobox Hand Bag + a Painted Vellum 3D Flower Tutorial.

Yes Friends, The Humphrey's are coming to Crafter's Companion USA! These cute little elephant  stamp sets are sooo darn cute! I forgot how much I love stamping! I used the "Flowers For You" on my Window Card, where Humphrey is carrying a huge bouquet of flowers. I just love it! This new set of stamps will be available on June 23rd on the Crafter's Companion website. Make sure not to miss the launch date!

I created the perfect casing for this beautiful Humphrey Window Card. I used my new Envelobox Creator Board to create the Envelobox Hand Bag. This is 1" deep and it is the perfect depth for my 3D Card. I used 11¾" x 11¾" cardstock here. You can certainly go deeper than 1", just use a larger size of cardstock. You can download the Envelobox Creator Sizing Guide here and the demo video here.

I attached a ribbon to serve as the handle around my Envelobox Hand Bag. I hand painted Pansy Flowers on a Vellum Paper using the latest Sheena Douglas Paint Fusion stamp set and these are used to adorn my Envelobox Hand Bag. You can scroll down below for the Painted Vellum 3D Flower Tutorial.

The new Sheena Paint Fusion stamps will be available at Crafter's Companion website on June 30th. Also, stay tuned for the Sneak Peek of these Stamp sets. These stamps will make a great addition to your collection. 

If you use a stylus or round object to shape your flower petals, it will give that extra dimension which makes your flower looks more realistic. I do not have a wide round stylus so I used the ribbon peg of the Ultimate Pro. It works great!

Since I was working with Vellum, I used the Collall 3D Kit for building up my flowers. This is a transparent silicone glue that dries as thick as it is applied, which makes it ideal for 3-dimensional creations.
