Today, I used the Ice Cream Pup HoneyPOP Clear Set to create my card. I love how the card just looks like any old card...then SURPRISE! There's a 3-D element that POPS! out at the person who you have made it for! LOL
My second project is one that uses up SCRAPS of the Honey Comb Paper! I hate wasting anything so this project kinda just "happened". I had bits n pieces of the Ivory Honey Comb Paper Pad left on my work surface after a different project and so I kinda looked at them and thought...hmm I wonder if I can use these little things for something.... the following ornament was born! :) ( I have created a step by step tutorial so you have an idea of how I did mine, feel free to be creative and try out different bits and pieces....you never know what you will come up with!
So here's the finished ornament...
I apologize for the poor photography of it...it was hard to get it to really show up and really get the feel of just how fun this little thing is. I can just see a great "vintagey themed" Christmas tree bedecked with these little gems...and speaking of gems...next time I am going to see about adding a bit of bling and see how that works! So when you make yours, get creative! Let's see what you do with your bits n pieces!
So here's the first piece that was left on my workspace...I had two like it....
I used a glue stick and glued the ends together to create two spheres.
I then stamped the cone image onto the pad itself using Tsukinkeo's London Fog Memento Ink. I didn't want the ink to show and sometimes it's hard to see VersaMark on lighter colored Honey Comb Paper Pads.
I cut out the cone image and shortened it JUST a bit. I then used my glue stick once again and glued the ends together to create a bell shaped piece.
Here are my three pieces ready to be strung onto some Maraschino Twine from The Twinery.
I tied just a little red button to the end and used the large embroidery needle to string the twine right through the center of the bell.
Note how the button lies flat. I found it best to use a button large enough to hide the center hole...
I then punched two circles from cardstock and cut little snips all along the edge to create petals circles. I then placed one on top of the bell and strung on a sphere, then another cardstock circle & then the final sphere.
To finish off my ornament I tied a cute bow with long tails using sheer ivory ribbon. It added a touch of sparkle while still keeping the airy feel to the ornament! I hope you have enjoyed this tutorial.
Time to keep on hopping along to see what the Inky Designers have created for your viewing pleasure today! Your next stop will be True's blog. Have fun hopping along with us today!
