I made all of these cards with the embossing tool, stamps, and water!

A New Use For Ribbon

A ribbon bulletin board!

(This can be made with scraps of ribbon also)

 I started by cutting the ribbon in strips that were long enough to fit horizontally across the board.

First, staple the horizontal strips to the board (example on the left).
 Next, one row at a time, staple the top of a vertical strip to the back of the canvas. Then weave the fabric and staple the end to the back (example on the right).

 I finished the back of the board with a clean ribbon stapled around the edge.

Summer is Almost Over

Here are some of my favorite pictures from this summer.

Skyline

I decided to test my skills by using the X-Acto knife. It's a city skyline!

 Draw the picture you want to cut out

After you cut the buildings out put yellow paper behind it using double sided tape

 This was not perfect so I decided to take off the antenna on one of the buildings

Inspiration

I got this in Paris and it is a cut out of the major landmarks.

Macarons

When I was in France I found my new obsession. French macarons! I decided to make cute boxes for candies or anything you want to put in them. I got my materials from Paper Source.

Inspiration!

You can make a box out of study paper using a template. There are many shapes and sizes to choose from.

Glue the ribbon to the box (or tie it in a bow)
