2. Cover the front of a large shipping tag with patterned papers. Use two prints for the tag, and a thin strip of contrasting paper for the left edge. Wrap twine around the middle where the two patterns meet. Edge tag with green paint.

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.
