Bring on the Bling

I always love to see what our creative team member Natalie shares with us because she always surprises me. She used her Cameo to personalize her daughters bike. Such a fabulous idea!

Natalie used Lori’s heartflower and border files.  They also had to name the bike, so the purp-cycle it became.  Her bike also had the foam and vinyl cover over the handle bars that i turned inside out and added “I heart my bike” to it.

Natalie said “While i put the vinyl on, I found that it was easier to use a more delicate border, only because it was a little easier to bend with the curvature of the bike frame.  It was a little challenging applying it, but I think the more loose and loopy the flowers and the loopy border, just helped that it was a little free fitting on the frame.” so keep that in mind as you are embellishing your own transportation devices.

She shares so many great things on her blog, I hate to steal them all, so make sure and head over to Natalie’s place to check out her instructions and more great photos. Thanks Natalie!

‘Owl’ Be Your Friend

After uploading SO MANY of Lori’s shapes into the shop, I have created a list a mile long of projects I want to make. This is just one of them. Because my list was so large, I combined 2 different SVG’s to make this cute pillow. I used “Heart Owl” and “Owl.” The “Owl” file had those beautiful ‘ruffles’ while the body shape comes from the “Heart Owl.” This was so fun and just needed a few tweaks to get it to this point. It was so easy to create with the felt. Next time you create an SVG file consider making it 3D or with felt. SO FUN!

For more info, go to my blog. I have all the instructions listed step by step there.

 

New in Shop TODAY

Lots of new shapes in the shop today! I love all the circle background choices or could it be the cards, or then of couse there are the string tie shapes, but I can’t forget the boxes. I will just put them in the shop and let you choose which ones you like best!

Stationary Set

I love the gracefulness of Lori’s “Stationary Set” and Joy did a great job of capturing just that. I love that you can get such an intricate cut from this file. Joy used a variety of Echo Parks papers designed by Lori,  Hello Summer paper pack and a journaling card from This & That Graceful to complete her project. She did such a great job with this, thanks Joy! She has more details on her blog and you can check that out here.

Be on the lookout for some exciting news tomorrow!
