Paper Flower Mason Jar

Create these cute paper flowers using the new Susan's Garden Sizzix Die

To get the shaded natural effect cut the petals out of cream cardstock, use a sponge to dap the ink pad then "Sponge" the ink onto the paper petals. Once you have colored the petals the color and shade you want, start shaping them with an embossing tool and the texture pads (sold by the Susan's Garden Dies) it doesn't have to be perfect, trust me! After all the petals are shaped nicely start constructing the flower by gluing with Fabri Tac from the outside working your way in until you run out of petals. Tie a ribbon onto the mason jar and glue your beautiful handmade paper flower onto the jar.

All you need is:

Susans Garden Sizzix Die

Sizzix Machine

Cream Cardstock

Ink pad and sponge

Embossing stylist

Sheer ribbon and Grosgrain

Life is the bubbles!

 Hurray for the new scrap booking and card making paper goods in our stores!!!!  We couldn't wait to get crafting with the really cool patterns in the new Pebbles card pad..yes that's right a pad of cards...organized and ready to be made...what more could you ask for?  How about some awesome mermaid paper (all of these cards were made from one 12X12 sheet of designs) paper flowers, and pendant stickers.  Just add a paper trimmer (or scissors) and double stick tape and you have some great easy-made cards.

Island Family Magazine Project

Hi Everyone!

Last month's keiki project was this cute l'il pin made out of pompoms, paper flower petals, moving eyes, and flower middles for antennas! Team member Coby, helped customer Cissy from Jersey build the pin! The three of us had a great time talkin' story and picking out the perfect color scheme for our pins!

This month's projects are magnetic clothes pins that have been embellished to fit your style! These ones are done with ribbon! Like the 10 for $10 premium ribbons by American Crafts. Or perhaps you had leftovers from the crazy lei making during graduation season! This could be an awesome idea for Christmas gifts too! Maybe you are inspired to make each clothes pin in a different season, one for of those seasonal recipes that need to be attempted! Come Join us at Market City every Sunday, Monday, and Wednesday for the demos happening during the month of August!

Anyways, Can't wait to share with you!

Recycled Pens

Here's a cute and fast project using our recycled pens! For the first set I used Fabri-Tak glue, ribbon and paper flowers. The clip on the top of the pen can be removed to make it very easy to wind ribbon onto the pen from end to end. Just glue the beginning, a few drops at key point between, and the end. I waited about a minute before I replaced the clip and then glued on the paper roses. When ever I see a combination of brown paper, ribbon and paper flowers it reminds me of certain boutique stores at the mall so I'm always happy to get the look without paying for the high price.









For the second set I used Dress It Up buttons and deco tape. I removed the clip off the top of the pen and then just cut small sections of tape to go around the pen working from one end to the next. I replaced the clip and then removed the shank from the back of the button. Some of these buttons are made of pieces that are held together by the button shank so when you remove the shank you might have to glue the pieces together. By removing the shank, it allows for a nice flat surface to better glue onto the clip. Since I didn't want to bust out another bottle of glue, I just used the same Fabri-Tak glue I used on the first set and it worked fine.

We carry such a variety of designs for the buttons that different themes can easily be done for these pens.

Our recycled pens are now on sale 3 for 99 cents, so hurry in while supplies last!

I'll see ya at the store!
