She’s created an amazing housewarming gift that is perfectly decorated with our Epiphany Crafts Metal Settings as well as a fun layout that many of us can identify with!!

Flower Pot with Sweet Chalkboard Plant Marker by Designer Gina Lideros

Text Me Layout by Designer Gina Lideros

Epiphany Crafts star 25 shape studio tool, star 25 bubblecaps

Other Supplies:

EK success: zig zag border punch, swiss cheese border punch
Die cutting machine: Slice just chillin’ teen card
adhesive: Scotch (ATG), liquid: Helmar’s quick dry 450
other: string, jump rings

Technique:

Did you know that you can pierce through your Epiphany Crafts Bubblecaps to make cute hanging charms? It’s simple, I just take a paper piercer and poke a hole through my bubblecap.
The epoxies are flexible so a standard paper piercer should push right through without any troubles just be sure to not pierce to close to the edge, or the epoxy might tear.

For my next step I attached standard jump rings that I picked up at my local craft supply store and hung my star bubblecaps from string.

Hello Spring It’s Epiphany Crafts!

April 16, 2012 by Julia 63 Comments

We’re back with week two of our promotion with Die Cuts With a View!

DCWV known for their Paper Stacks filled with endless patterns, papers and yes…prints!

Some of you may have been fortunate to see their amazing booth at this Winter’s CHA in Anaheim. Anyone who took a walk by could not help but to notice the amazing birds…yes…birds that were on display.

Last week on their DCWV blog they shared how they created some of these amazing paper creatures. After browsing here today..do take a moment to stop by and see these birds of paradise!!

Up today..we’re welcoming spring with an amazing wall hanging from Designer Audrey Pettit!We loved the color combination, hand stitching on the leaves and of course how she used our Epiphany Crafts Tools and products! Don’t you?! Designer Sarah Hill has a birthday layout that comes together perfectly with our new Pennant Tool!! It’s just the perfect touch!

Hello Spring Hanging by Designer Audrey Pettit

Epiphany Crafts Supplies:
Epiphany Crafts Button Studio Tool Round 20 and Round Button 20 Caps
Epiphany Crafts Shape Studio Tool Round 14 and Round 14 Bubble Caps
Epiphany Crafts Tea Room Vintage Settings

Die Cuts With a View Dots, Stripes, & Plaids Stack
Alpha Stickers: SEI
Punches: McGill
Felt: Papertrey Ink
Trim: Webster’s Pages, American Crafts, and Stampin’Up
Doilies: Wilton
Ink: Clearsnap
Adhesive: Glue Arts
Chipboard

Directions:
1. Cut a pennant banner from raw chipboard in any size you wish. Mine is 6″ x 9″.

2. Cover one side of the chipboard banner with gray patterned paper. Cut a second layer from contrasting patterned paper.
*NOTE: Edge all patterned paper pieces with brown ink.

3. Continue layering the banner with yellow patterned paper. Adhere yellow fringe trim along the bottom notch of the banner. Affix a paper doily to the center of the pennant. Add a piece of doily behind the banner so it shows through on the bottom. And then add three buttons made with the Epiphany Crafts Button Round 20 Studio Tool.

4. Adhere a patterned paper circle to the center of the doily. Adhere brown hemp cord across the center of the doily.

5. Create a flower from two sizes of flower paper punches. I used 3 large flowers and 4 small flowers.

Soak the punched flowers briefly in water. Scrunch each piece into a tight ball and then smooth flat and allow to dry. Starting with the large pieces and working towards the smaller shapes, adhere the punched flowers together to create one flower.

6. Create three bubble caps embellishments using the Epiphany Crafts Round 14 Shape Studio Tool.

7. Adhere one Bubble Cap to the center of the flower.

8. Attach flower to the center of the banner using foam adhesive for dimension.

9. Add the remaining two Round 14 Bubble Caps to the centers of the yellow Tea Room Vintage Settings, and adhere settings to either side of the flower.

10. Embellish with stitched felt leaves, more fringe trim, and a seam binding bow. Add alpha stickers around the center circle to create the sentiment.
