Mother's Day Lace Rosette

Hi everyone.  I have a project to share with you today for Creating is Fun.  I created this over-sized floral rosette using some gorgeous lace from Martha's shop.  I thought it would be super cute to embellish a gift for Mother's Day.  You could attach it to a gift bag or even to a flower pot that you've covered with fabric.  I added a pin back to mine so I could attach it to something! :)

I started out by cutting a large circle of cardboard.  I then hot-glued some 5" Purple Lace into a circle.  Next, I cut out several strips of pink lace (each measuring about 5-6" long).  I then hot-glued one end of the lace to the center of the rosette and folded the pink lace back and hot-glued again in the center, creating a loop of pink lace.  I added a touch of pearl trim loops and finished off with some I Am Roses flowers.

Creating is Fun Products Used:

5" Purple Lace

Pink Lace (no longer available)

Other Products Used:

Cardboard

White Pearl Trim

White & Pink Roses from I Am Roses (R 77 - 41)

I ♥ how this turned out.  This would be a great way to use up any lace/trim scraps that you have laying around.  I hope you enjoyed today's project and don't forget to stop by the Creating is Fun shop!  Have a great week everyone. :)  HUGS ♥♥

"You've Had a BIG Impact" Card

Hi guys! I hope everyone is having a super Sunday. I have a simple card to share with you today. Sadly, this will be my last project for Karlas001. I have enjoyed my 2 month term as a Featured Guest Designer for Karla's Etsy and am so sad to see it come to an end.

I created this super simple card using the new "Kraft Funday Happy Days" 6x6 Paper Pad by My Mind's Eye. I ♥ how dressy this card turned out, not what I had planned in the beginning! :) 

I cut up some of Nancy's Black 1.5 inch Rose Trim and placed the rosettes in a cluster. I added some pearl loops behind the cluster using some 6mm Black Pearl Trim.

Here's a peek at the inside...

Sweet ♥ Hanging Layout

Happy Friday!  I'm so thankful it's the weekend.  I have an adorable dimensional hanging layout to share with you for Karlas001.  I absolutely ♥ these cute pictures of this little doll.  Isn't her outfit just precious?  I was walking through JoAnn's one day and saw this adorable paper collection by MAMBI.  I knew it would match these photos perfectly.

Here's how it turned out...

I ♥ dimensional layouts because I can pile on as many goodies as I want.  Hehe :)

Isn't that Tear Drop Spray to die for?  I ♥ how it catches the light...so pretty!  And how sweet is that Large Wood Spool?  I just wrapped some burlap string around and hot glued it into the cluster of flowers.

I put down a layer of green Burlap Trim and then some White Embroidered Sheer Lace.  I topped it off with some pleated trim by Maya Road.  I love the different textures and colors here, such a fun effect!

I used a vintage BINGO card that I had in my stash along with a white paper doily.  I am so pleased with how this layout turned out.  I can't wait to give it as a gift to someone special, she is going to be so excited!

IARCC Handmade Flower Layout

Hi everyone!  It's time for another I Am Roses Color Challenge and you are in for a treat with this one.  You can get all of the details HERE.  

Part of the Challenge was to create handmade flowers using at least 2 IAR products.  I chose to create one of my all-time favorite spring flowers, the cherry blossom.

I sprayed the Hydrangea Petals from IAR with "Salt Water Taffy" by LSG.  I used a fine-tip paintbrush to add a dot of "Ramblin' Rose Pink" by LSG to the center of each flower.  I also used some of the White Foam Stamen from IAR.  I sprayed the stamen with "Wake Me Up Before You Go Gold" by LSG.  I also added some Small Green Rose Leaves to accent my flowers.

Here's how my flowers turned out...

It's super fun to create flowers to perfectly match your project!  I incorporated my handmade flowers into a dimensional layout.  This layout features one of my favorite pictures of my Great-Grandmother.
