St Patrick notecard

We cannot have everything for every celebration! But...You can use your other supplies to create a St Patrick little notecard!
Here I used some Christmas paper, baby theme paper, and a valentine punch!

 Grab ...
- some green scrap paper (here a Christmas paper!)
- a piece of 2" x 4" cardstock (or bigger) fold in half
- a background paper a little bit smaller than your cardstock (here a baby theme paper)
- some glue, glue dots,
- ink
- marker, gel pen
- embellishement

 Punch 4 hearts, ink them around and fold them in half to give them some dimension.

Ink your background paper - 

You can also cut it small and add a dark green cardstock to it.

Apply a glue dot where you want your 4 leaf clover to be...

and place the petals.

Draw a stem and outline it with a gel or black pen.

Glue your background paper to your notecard and add 

a little gemstone...(if you want!)

Enjoy your St Patrick little notecard...

Tiny ric rac roses for accessories

I wanted to try to make a ric rac rose but I didn't have Jumbo ric rac ribbon (yet!)... so I decided to try with the small one that I had and find out that that it came out really cute!

All you need is
- 6" or 7" of small ric rac ribbon
- 1 pair of scissors
- some glue dots...

Isn't it cute?!

 Fold you ribbon in half and put a glue dot in the middle.
You can also start with 2 length and glue them to start.

Start interlacing the ribbon like a braid.

You will end with this, it's ok if it twist a bit!

Then add a glue dot and start to roll it,

add glue dot each time you feel that it need to be hold.

At the end keep a small piece; add a glue dot at the bottom and close it.

Now you have tiny roses to embellish any accessories or scrapbook need!

Simple Bobby pins...

Brooch or barrette

Fabric Flowers Tutorial

This tutorial has been inspired by a cheese cloth tutorial on youtube

As I didn't have all the materiel I used what I had...

Here is the step by step and a little video.

1st I dig in my craft room and found this fabric bag that was damaged

I cut a small piece (to fit in my cuttelbug)

and cut some flowers

2 large, 2 medium and one small

then cut the petals 1/4"

Paint or ink them

(I used some distress inks for the other colors below)

Let them dry...

Add some glitter

Nice and shiny!

Add a center...

You can glue each flowers to the other and add a pearl, rhinestone etc...)

Here I used my crop-a dile and added a nice brad

Then work with the petals the way you want them to be!

Perfect little flowers for spring projects...

Have fun!
