Life Is Good with Epiphany Crafts!

Such a great phrase…

Life is good!

There’s even a brand with all these cute stick people and phrases exclaiming life is good.

Well you know…life IS good when you partner up our talented team and add in Lily Bee Design products and GlueArts Adhesives.

We loved the layer of sparkle under Designer Andrea Budjack’s decorative hearts and all the glittery touches. Katarina Damm-Blomberg  has a fantastic tutorial on how to make your own journal! The perfect finishing touch? Why our Epiphany Crafts Buttons that match perfectly with the Lily Bee products. Just a simply punch and you’ve got matching accessories and more.

Lily Bee & Epiphany Crafts Help Keep You Organized!

Well that sure sounds good doesn’t it?

Even if we can’t promise to keep you organized we can definitely help keep you organized in style!

That’s exactly what Designer Thienly Azim can do for you today with this magnet board. Thienly used our Epiphany Crafts Tools to create her own custom magnets that perfectly match this magnet board! Keep this idea in mind for Teacher Gifts and more!

You’ll never want for ideas when you purchase our Epiphany Crafts NEW Pennant Shape Tool. Designer Amanda Jones created a dimensional banner when she added our matching Bubble Caps to her layout.

Jennifer Priest made not one but two amazing layouts that perfectly showcase Epiphany Crafts products as well as Lily Bee! She’ll definitely have you seeing “stars”!

Directions:

1. Die cut diamond shapes (they all must be the same size) in various papers.
2. Measure the inside dimensions of a cookie pan, and cut a thin backing paper the same size.
3. Arrange the diamonds into the pattern that you would like and adhere to a backing paper using either glue stick or double sided tape, just enough to stay in place.
3. Using zig zag stitch, sew around all the diamonds.
4. Adhere this to the cookie pan.
(If you get adventurous, you can search for quilt patterns online to get new pattern ideas)
5. Make magnets.

The slim, compact Lily Bee “ABC Stickers” are perfect for every Epiphany Crafts shape. I used the Star 25 Shape Studio to create monogrammed stars for each of my kids in the photos on this layout. I then created a subtitle, “fly”, with the same stickers using the Epiphany Crafts Pennant 25 Shape Studio and Bubble Caps.

Grandpa is always up to no good, especially when it comes to little princess Kira, the youngest granddaughter. At Easter, Grandpa decided to help Kira CHEAT the Easter bunny by helping her find the eggs. But that’s okay, because now they are immortalized on a scrapbook page!! The playful, sweet colors of the Lily Bee papers and Epiphany Crafts Team Room Vintage Settings were perfect for this page about a little innocent fun on Easter morning.

Welcome to our Lily Bee & GlueArts Week!!!

It’s not often we get to work with one amazing company…however this week…we’ve paired up with two!

Lily Bee and GlueArts!

Lily Bee…. known for their beautiful patterned papers and embellishments. The papers and patterns have a soft feel…kind of like your favorite quilt your Grandma made!

GlueArts is well known for their Glue Glider PRO and now their new PRO+ cartridge! Our own Brian Fogg choses GlueArts Adhesive Squares for his projects shown on HSN. They work perfectly with our Epiphany Crafts Bubble Caps and Charm Settings as they’re offered in two sizes.

 

Up first this week…Designers Audrey Pettit, Ginny Hughes and Sarah Hill have a fun mix of projects! A sweet Home Decor piece as well as two layouts that all use our very popular Round 14 Tool!!!

Epiphany Crafts Supplies:
Epiphany Crafts Button Studio Tool Round 14 and Round 14 Clear Button Caps

LilyBee Handmade Collection:
Patterned Papers, Cardstock Stickers, and Bag of Bits Die Cuts
Floss: DMC
Ink: Clearsnap
Adhesive: Glue Arts
Recycled Frame

Instructions:
1. Remove the glass from your photo frame and cut a piece of patterned paper to size for your frame. In pencil, lightly draw three flower stems on the paper. Using a needle or paper piercer, poke stitching holes evenly along the stems. Erase the pencil marks, and then stitch the stems using green embroidery floss.

2. Cut patterned paper hearts for the flowers. For each flower, you will need six hearts. The Bag of Bits die cuts has hearts. I used a couple of the hearts from here, and then used one of the die cuts as a template for the remaining hearts, which I cut from various patterned papers.
*Note: Edge each heart with brown ink.

For each flower, adhere three hearts at the end of each stem. Fold three additional hearts in half to place on top of the base hearts. Adhere with a bit of adhesive, then stitch through each heart using the embroidery floss.

3. Create three button embellishments using the Epiphany Crafts Button Studio Tool and the die cut paper buttons from the Bag of Bits die cuts. Adhere a button to each flower.

4. Add a cardstock sticker sentiment to the bottom left corner.
