Remember This Layout by Designer Rhonda Van Ginkel

I just loved the Core’dinations Cardstock pattern with that stunning teal under the black! It was the inspiration to put our Round 25 Bubble Caps into play in a fun way in this layout.

There are 3 of the Round 25 shapes, one anchors the chipboard bird and the others accent the embossed pattern of the cardstock. I also added one of our Vintage Settings under the sentiment from the Cabana collection as it added just the right pop of color.

Dream a Little Dream with Epiphany Crafts!

February 10, 2012 by 88 Comments


This week’s been a bit of a dream!!

How can you not love combining Epiphany Crafts and Pink Paislee?!

Our talented team of ladies worked with the Pink Paislee Nantucket collection…which is filled with seaside treats, beautiful patterned papers and unique embellishments!

Vintage Vogue is a fun, bright line with color pops of aquas and purples and fun retro prints!

For our final day Designers Robyn Schaub, Irit Shalom and Rhonda Van Ginkel have projects using both collections along with our Epiphany Crafts Studio Shape Tools for you to enjoy!

Sandcastle Dreams Layout by Rhonda Van Ginkel

This was created this for a work friend who had a destination wedding and will be presented in a frame to be used for Home Decor. The papers in this line were just perfect for a tropical wedding page!

Epiphany Crafts offers tools in a wide variety of shapes…hearts, oval, square, star and of course round. They’re all perfect for that special guy (little or big!) in your life!

Designer Rebecca Price added some fun textures to her card to “man it up” a bit! While Robyn took to a masculine color theme! And Designer Emily Branch added some texture and twine for the perfect touch!

Tip for masculine cards: Loading up on textures like cardboard and burlap, as well as distressed and torn edges, will add a masculine twist to any card.

Designer notes:
To create a more masculine look, I stayed away from hearts and selected a sentiment that matched my very masculine color scheme of black, turquoise and white. I layered a Round 14 on a Scalloped Circle to add more dimension to the sheer snowflake embellishment.

Fall Banner
Designer: Rhonda Van Ginkel

Hi there from Rhonda! 

I am so excited to share with you my first ever home decor banner featuring Epiphany Crafts! This fun line of papers from Teresa Collins made me think “Thankful”. This time of year invokes those reflective thoughts and I wanted something special in our home to represent that.

Techniques:
I base coated my Vintage Settings in Cabana with my Cream acrylic paint. I did two coats for nice coverage. I then used my Smooch to obtain the depth of color that I wanted. I used Molasses, Lettuce and Cape Cod for my Vintage Settings.

I love that this technique allows you so much control to obtain the perfect color match! You can rub a little of the Smooch off for a more vintage look too!

I then used my Smooch Spritzes on my Martha Stewart doily and it coordinated with this line just perfectly!
