Hi there My Little Shoebox friends! It’s Monique here with a few fun “Lovely Day” projects just before the start of the weekend!
First off my favorite project for today: an altered Candle Holder.
This candle holder was a present I got about a year ago. Although I think it’s beautiful as it is, I decided to give it a more personal touch and dress it up a bit.
When I saw those awesome 3D Roll-Up Flowers I knew exactly what I was going to do! I started with 4 strips of paper (one with a punched border), layered them on top of each other and machine sewed them together:
Then I created the centerpiece, using a hand cut journaling spot (New Story) as my base and attaching 3D Roll-Up Flowers, some die-cut flowers, banner pieces, a sentiment and a bird cage sticker:
I attached this to the strip of paper and finished it off with more flower and bird stickers from the Cardstock Sticker sheet:
And this is the result:
Hope you like it!
But wait, there’s more! I have also created 2 cards for you: a birthday card and a card for a good friend.
I don’t know about you, but I for one, almost always forget to send people birthday cards. I think it’s because I don’t want to buy them, but make them myself and then I forget about it until it’s too late. So what did I do today? I created a birthday card in advance AND a card for a good friend whose birthday card I forgot.
First the birthday card:
This 5”x 5” card exists of a white cardstock base, 2 layers of paper (Chocolate & Easy Breezy), a doily, a punched birdcage (Chiffon), a (border) punched strip of brown Chocolate paper, a straight strip of yellow Chiffon paper, a punched brown Chocolate vine, a hand cut journaling spot (New Story), a punched out pink Raspberry bird and a sentiment cut from the “New Story” sheet. I finished it off with a piece of twine (The Twinery) and a self-adhesive pearl for the eye (Inkido).
And my other card:
This one measures 5”x 6” and has a white cardstock base as well. Followed by a piece of Raspberry and (the B side of) Let The Sunshine, a punched doily (B side Easy Breezy), 3 dove tails (Raspberry, B side of Seeds of Happiness, B side New Story), some punched leaves (B side Happy Together), 2 clouds (Cardstock Stickers), a hand cut journaling spot (Cardstock Sticker), 3 3D Roll-Up Flowers, a sentiment (Words-On-The-Go K&Company) attached with a mini clothes pin for the finishing touch and letter stickers also from the Cardstock Sticker sheet. The hearts of the flowers are filled with little beads.
All these projects are created with the “Lovely Day” collection. Don’t you just love this collection?!!
