Hello Sunshine Said the Epiphany Crafts Tool!

August 23, 2012 by Julia 15 Comments

Everything from a stunning layout, to greeting card to birthday decoration.

You’ll never be short of ideas once you pick up our Epiphany Crafts Shape Studio Tools.

They offer you the freedom to make perfectly matched embellishments and more for all of your crafting needs!

1. Layer banner flags to the back of the rosette, starting with the shorter flags in the front and the long flags in the back.

2. Apply a strip of hot glue to the back of a circle and attach safety pin.

Inspired by the rosettes, I made a fun sunshine card with a rosette and EC round 25 tool.

A Bit of Cheer with Epiphany Crafts & Helmar

July 6, 2012 by Julia 25 Comments

It’s easy to be cheerful when you have the right products and tools to use when you’re crafting!

Epiphany Crafts Tools allow you to create the perfect embellishment for cards, layouts, home decor and yes…even jewelry!

Add to the mix Helmar adhesives and you’ve got a good things going!

Designer Amanda Jones offers the perfect tutorial for you to make this sweet card today to spread a bit of birthday cheer!

Birthday Cheer Card by Amanda Jones

Epiphany Crafts Supplies:
Epiphany Crafts Shape Studio Tool Round 14 and bubble cap
Epiphany Crafts Vintage Settings Cabana

Other Supplies:
Helmar permanent tape runner
Helmar 1/4″ Zapdots
Sentiment sticker – SRM Stickers
Bazzill Cardstock
Crate Paper patterned paper
Studio Calico Mr Huey mist
Other: White muslin and fabric flower

Instructions:

I sprayed a strip of muslin with yellow mist and dried it using a heat gun.

Using the Helmar permanent tape runner I added adhesive across the centre of the card.

The adhesive is strong enough to be able to create a ruffle across the card – I was amazed at how well it held the fabric in place!

I used zapdots to attach a strip of cardstock above the fabric and give it dimension.

I used the glue runner to attach fabric fowers and the vintage setting to the card.

Using the EC shape tool I created the centre for my vintage setting.

Again – the glue runner held all of this together and it really won’t budge! Fabric… to plastic… with a glue runner? Wow

I topped the card off with a birthday sentiment from SRM Stickers.
