Step Out In Style with Our Oval Tool

May 22, 2013 by Christina 2 Comments

Hi, Christina here today. This week the Epiphany Crafts Design Team is sharing ideas using the Epiphany Crafts Oval Tool. For my project I made these fun map earrings with a matching gift box. It’s a quick and easy project that would make a fun gift.

I used a map patterned paper from a 6×6 Crate paper pad. You could use an old map, too. Start by punching two ovals with bubble caps from the map paper using the Epiphany Crafts Oval Tool.

Adhere the bubble caps to Epiphany Crafts Oval Metal Settings.

You will need 2 jump rings and 2 earring bases. Use pliers to open the jump rings to add the earrings and the oval settings.

Close up the jump rings and your earrings are complete.

To make the matching box start by cutting a 6×6 piece of patterned paper or map. My paper was from a 6×6 paper pad so I was able to skip this step. Score 1 inch on all 4 sides of the paper.

After scoring, each corner should be a 1 inch square. Cut along one of the score lines up to the next score line to form your tab.

Do the same for each of the other three corners. You can also taper each tab so the pieces fit together a bit better.

Fold on all the score lines and add adhesive to all four tabs.

Adhere the tabs in place to form the lid.

Once you have adhered all four tabs in place your lid will be ready.

To make the bottom of the box you follow the same steps, but start by cutting your paper at 5 7/8 x 5 7/8 inches.

You will also need to make an insert to hold the earrings. Make sure to cut your paper an 1/8 inch smaller than the bottom of the box so it will fit inside the box and then use the same steps as above to make the insert.

Before applying adhesive to the tabs use a pencil to mark where you want your earrings to be placed on the insert and use the Basic Grey Notch tool to cut two slits around the pencil marks.

Use the crop-a-dile to punch holes at the spots you marked with the pencil and then finish assembling the insert.

Add the earrings to the insert and place into the bottom of the box and your gift is ready to share.

Hello Friend Card Featuring Our Oval Tool

May 21, 2013 by Grace 1 Comment

Hi there friends. Shape tools are very versatile. In this card I used the oval tool to create my own tulip flowers using pattern paper. Read on to learn how you can recreate this card.

Supplies Used:

Shape Studio Tool Oval 25 SST-37

Shape Studio Accessories Bubble Caps Oval 25 SSA-39Cardstock- WorldWin Papers

Pattern paeprs- Lucky Charm, Dear Lizzy, American Crafts

Letter stickers- Dear Lizzy, American Crafts

Pen- Millennium, Zig

Mist- Candy Apple, Tattered Angels

Adhesives- Hampton Arts, Scrabpook Adhesive by 3L

To recreate the tulip flowers you will need to punch out oval shapes from pattern paper using the Oval tool. Punch as many as you would like. Papers with smaller prints are best for this project.

Cut a notch on one long end of the oval shaped papers. Adhere them to the card, adding some with foam adhesive for extra dimension. Connect the flowers to the jar/pot with stems created with a black pen.

Add a bubble statement with your card sentiment by using a negative space of a oval shape as a template. Write down your word inside the shape. This will ensure that when you punch out your shape, it won’t cut off any of the letters in your sentiment.

Punch out the word, adding a bubble sticker over it before punching. Adhere to your card.

Thank you for stopping by and if you’ve used your shape tools to create your own handmade embellishments, comment below. I’m always on a hunt for new inspirations on how to use my shape tools in innovative ways.

Till next time- Grace

Have A Heart Key Chain

May 20, 2013 by Fleur 2 Comments

It’s that time of year when we have a ton of gifts to buy for teachers, coaches, instructors and people who have helped you out throughout the year.

I have a friend who is always there to help out with my kids when I need it and I wanted to show her how much I appreciate her help.

I created a key chain with photos of her daughter from dance and musical theatre class.

I printed the photos small enough to punch out with the Epiphany Crafts Shape Studio Tool Oval 25 then added each of them to an Epiphany Craft Oval Charm and using jump rings added them to a key chain.

The great thing about the Epiphany Crafts tools is that this gift could be customized for anyone in your life – in fact I have plans to make a few of these over the next few days for my son’s Musical Theatre instructor and Hip Hop instructors.

Supply List:
Epiphany Crafts Shape Studio Tool Oval 25

A Special Mother’s Day Gift

May 8, 2013 by Tessa 1 Comment

Over the past few years, it has become a tradition that I make flower brooches for my mom and mother-in-law for Mother’s Day.

This year’s corsages wouldn’t be complete without Epiphany Crafts!

To make this corsage, first make or purchase a large, ruffly flower. Use the oval tool to create an epoxy and set it in an oval setting. I chose to spray-paint my setting gold, but the original silver is very pretty, too. Attach the oval to the center of your flower.

Make or purchase a fabric yo-yo flower. Use the round 14 tool to create an epoxy, then set it in a brad setting. Again, I spray-painted my brad gold. Attach brad to center of yo-yo.

Layer your flowers on a strip of ribbon, adding any other flowers, leaves or embellishments you would like. Adhere everything securely together. I use my trusty hot glue gun for this. When finished, attach a brooch pin/clip to the back side.

Happy Mother’s Day!

Supplies Used:

Epiphany Crafts Round 14 Tool

Organize in Style with Epiphany Crafts and American Crafts

April 18, 2013 by Christina 3 Comments

Hello! It’s Christina here to share my project using Epiphany Crafts and the American Crafts Dear Lizzy Lucky Charm collection.

I put together this storage unit and added a few scrapbooking goodies to the drawers for my oldest daughter.

To make this project start with a KaiserCraft Storage Unit kit, paint all the pieces white, and assemble the unit and drawers.

We will need some knobs to open the drawers. Using the Epiphany Crafts Oval 25 Studio Shape Tool punch 3 ovals from patterned papers of your choice.

Add an Epiphany Crafts Oval 25 Bubble Cap to each of the punched oval shapes.

Add each of the shapes to an Epiphany Crafts Oval Metal Setting as shown below. Paint 3 small wooden discs white and adhere to the back of each of the metal settings.

Trim patterned papers to fit the front of the drawers and apply adhesive to each strip.

Adhere the patterned papers and knobs to the front of the drawers.

Now let’s take a peek inside each of the drawers. I made two small mini albums to fit inside one of the drawers. All my daughter has to do is add some favorite photos, journaling, and any additional embellishments she might want to add to the albums.

In another drawer I made some simple paper dividers and added an assortment of embellishments- tags, die cuts, punched shapes, and a brad set.

In the last drawer I added a few treats. Who doesn’t like to have a bit of chocolate on hand while crafting, lol.

I put two quick and simple albums together for the first drawer. The first of these albums is an accordian tag album. I created my own files in the Silhouette Studio software and cut them with my Cameo. On this side of the album I incorporated a pocket for photos and journaling tags.

The last page on this side of the album is a matchbook style tag that holds additional tags for photos and journaling.

I also made this tag album and added a ring to hold it all together. I also created my own files for this album and cut them with my Silhouette.

Here is a look at all of the pages in the album.

Here is a look at the two tags that open to reveal additional places to add photos and journaling.

Sweet Bunny Baskets & Coupon Books with Epiphany Crafts Tools

March 27, 2013 by EpiphanyCrafts 5 Comments

Fleur here, Easter is just a few days away and I needed to make some last minute treats for teachers and friends.

I found a really cute Easter Basket and Bunny cut file on the Silhouette website and cut them out from patterned paper.

The little bunnies needed a cute little tail so I used the Epiphany Crafts Button Studio Tool Round 14 and made them a little button tail. I then attached the bunny to the front of the basket.

To add a sentiment I typed Happy Easter on my typewriter and punched it out using the Epiphany Crafts Shape Studio Tool Oval 25 and tied it on to the basket handle with some coordinating twine.

To finish off the basket I added the fringe grass and an egg. The pocket is a perfect size for a small treat or a gift card.

As I created my project I made a Vine Video which you can view here Easter Bunny Basket

You’ll be hip hopping when you see today’s projects!

We’ve paired up this week with our friends at The Robin’s Nest! They’re well known for their Dew Drops and fun paper lines! We loved how Designer Fleur Smith used our Epiphany Crafts Oval Tool to create Easter eggs! Now isn’t that adorable?!!

Hi, Fleur here.

This week we are swapping with the awesome Robin’s Nest. For my project I decided to use the super cute Easter paper and make a card.

I cut out the grass strips from the patterned paper and added them to the bottom of the card, then I cut out the bunnies and added them using foam tape to pop up the little one for some dimension.

I also cut the “Hippity Hoppity” strip and incorporated it into the title on my card.

For a finishing touch I used the Epiphany Crafts Shape Studio Tool Oval 25 to add some fun Easter Eggs.

Feeling a Bit Lucky with Epiphany Crafts

March 14, 2013 by EpiphanyCrafts 12 Comments

Top o’ the mornin’! Time to get out those plastic treat tubes you have been hoarding because today I am sharing a couple of fun and easy St. Patrick’s Day treat ideas.

I used rainbow stripes and chevrons to create a bright and happy tag. I also used a piece of rainbow striped washi to seal the top of the tube. See the Rolos? They’re the gold at the end of the rainbow.

I created a custom rainbow chevron button with my Epiphany Crafts button studio tool. I just love that I can make buttons that coordinate perfectly with my projects!

My second treat tube is topped with a shamrock and a rainbow chevron cocktail ring. Not only does the recipient get a cute container full of yummy candy, they also get a custom ring with a tidbit of green to keep the pinchers away on St. Patrick’s Day.

I used my EC Oval 25 tool, metal charms, and rings to create this rainbow chevron cocktail ring.

The ring fit perfectly around the top of the tube, so to attach the shamrock, I cut a small notch in the shamrock and tucked it behind the ring. I tucked the stem behind the ring, too.

I filled the treat tube with a rainbow of Skittles. Perfect for a fun treat on St. Paddy’s day!

Have a fun and safe St. Patrick’s Day!

Be Merry & Bright with Epiphany Crafts!

December 7, 2012 by Julia 6 Comments

Here is a fun way to wrap a gift that may seem a little hard to wrap.

If you are like me you might take a lot of pictures throughout the year and would love to give a few of those and a cd of many more to a far away relative. I really wanted to give my children’s grandmother (my mom) a special gift that she can enjoy when we are not right there with her.

So, first I burned a cd of photos and printed a few of my favorite. Setting those aside, I reached for a small brown paper bag. I decorated the front with pretty papers, a doilie and some pretty epoxies and buttons, too. I placed the cd in the pocket of the cover and closed it with a bit of washi tape.

I also added a Christmas photo inside and I stitched the paper on to create a pocket for the pictures.

I finished off my little wrapped gift with some ribbon, twine and a sweet little charm.

the buttons are just the perfect fit for the patterns in the Basic Grey 6×6 pad of patterned paper

the patterns were also a lovely fit for the oval bubble caps and created a perfect little charm…
