2011-12-17T09:15:00.000-08:00

Are you busy this weekend?

Shopping for last minute gifts? Wrapping up all those gifts? Baking some cookies and fudge?

Well take a moment in this busy day to see what we have for you today using our Epiphany Crafts Studio Shape Star Tool!

It's one of those shapes...that often is overlooked..but let us tell you...the Star Tool..packs quite a punch! Just take a look at what Designers Audrey Pettit and Jennifer Priest made! We know you'll definitely want to add one to your Christmas Wish List!!

Merry Little Christmas Pocket Card by Designer Audrey Pettit

Epiphany Crafts Supplies:

Epiphany Crafts Star Shape Studio Tool and Star Bubble Caps

Epiphany Crafts Button Studio Tool Round 14 and Round 14 Button Bubble Caps

October Afternoon and Echo Park Patterned Paper

Kraft Outlet Tag and Hang Tag String

Webster's Pages Journaling Card

October Afternoon Die Cuts

Echo Park Cardstock Stickers

Spellbinders Label 20 Die

Prickely Pear Rubber Stamps Holly and Berries Die

Stampin'Up Border Scallop Punch and 1.25" Circle Punch

Clearsnap Ink

May Arts Lace

Tim Holtz Mini Paper Clip

Craft Supply Mini Bells

Office Supply Binder Clip

Glue Arts High Tac Adhesive and U Cut It Foam Adhesive

1. Cut a piece of 4" x 3.75" patterned paper for the base of your pocket card. Cut a second piece of contrasting paper to 3.5" x 6.5". Fold in half to create a pocket of 3.5" x 3.25". Using a circle punch, cut a notch out of the top. This will make it easier to remove the gift tag inside.

2. Adhere pocket to the center of the base and machine stitch the edges, if desired. Embellish pocket with a cardstock sticker sentiment. Adhere string across the top of the pocket for the banner.

3. Create Bubble Cap Star embellishments using the Star Shape Studio Tool and matching Star Bubble Caps and the patterned paper of your choice. I used two papers to add interest.

4. Die cut holly leaves from polka dotted paper and clip them together with a mini paper clip. Adhere to the center of the banner using foam adhesive for dimension. Add a die cut circle behind the leaves, in the center of the cut out notch, to mimic the holly berries.

5. Add Star Bubble Caps to the banner, adhering the center star with foam adhesive for dimension. Adhere mini bells to banner.

6. Dress up a manila shipping tag for the inside of the pocket. I layered polka dotted paper with a scalloped border, followed by a journaling card, die cut, and cardstock sticker. Add lace detailing and sentiment die cut. Create two buttons using the Round 14 Button Studio Tool and matching Round 14 Button Bubble Caps and patterned paper. Adhere to the sides of the die cut label. Add binder clip to the top of the tag and slip the tag in the pocket.

JOY Glass Ornament by Designer Jennifer Priest

We just had a Hobby Lobby open up, about 20 minutes from my house (we're expecting one in town next year) and my first purchase was a set of gorgeous shallow glass ornaments, ready to decorate.

Epiphany Crafts Supplies:
EC Star 25 Shape Studio and Bubble Caps
EC Vintage Settings in Cabana

Other Supplies:
Clearsnap EmbossGloss, Glitter, Design Adhesives, and Embossing Powder
Hobby Lobby Glass Ornament
Alphabet Stickers by K&Co.
Patterned Paper, Satin Ribbon, S-shaped clip - source unknown

Here's how to make it:

Apply Clearsnap's Design Adhesives to the back of the ornament and coat the design in glitter. Add "JOY" in sticker letters across the front of the ornament but omit the "O".

Lightly apply EmbossGloss by Clearsnap to the edges of a Cabana Vintage Setting and sprinkle it with gold embossing powder; heat set to give it a gilded look.

Create a star for the center with the Epiphany Crafts Star 25 Shape Studio and Matching Bubble Caps using some gorgeous foil stamped paper. The epoxies are easy to apply to papers with a variety of finishes, like foil stamped paper.

Ink the Star 25 with ColorBox Fluid Chalk ink to disguise the stark white edge of the punched paper--the ink stays on the paper but rubs right off the top of the epoxy when finished.

Top it all off with a bow on the top. Unroll the spiral of a copper "S"-shaped paper clip to make an ornament hanger.

Designer Note: this was an ornament I did for an exchange with a fellow Spark Sister, from Spark the Event this past October. We are all trying to keep in touch and one of the ladies organized a Secret Sister ornament exchange--we're all over the country and everyone has such different styles. It has been an exciting process! The tag is what I added to the ornament once it was in the box.

Star Gift Tag by Designer Jennifer Priest

Epiphany Crafts Supplies:

EC Star 25 Shape Studio and Bubble Caps
EC Star Flowers Felt Flowers in Mint

Other Supplies:
Clearsnap Smooch Spritz in Vanilla Shimmer and Ice Rink
ColorBox Fluid Chalk ink in Chestnut Roan
My Mind's Eye Tag, Patterned Paper
American Crafts Ribbon
Michael's Crafts Gold Thread
K-Mart Tinsel
hydrangeahippo.etsy.com Satin Leaf

My next project is a gift tag that accompanied the ornament when I shipped it to my Spark Sister. I have had a set of diecut My Mind's Eye tags for years and am finally creating with them. They are great for gift tags!

Here's how I made it:

Adhere the large section of an Epiphany Crafts Star Flowers Felt Flowers in Mint to the back of the tag -- while gorgeous as packaged, separating the flower layers allows one flower to be used on up to 4 different projects.

Spray a leaf with Smooch Spritz and add to the back of the tag as well. Add a bit of tinsel to the center of the snowflake on the tag and add an EC Star 25 epoxy created with the EC Star 25 Shape Studio to the center of the tinsel.

A little ribbon and gold thread and the tag is complete.

Well that wraps up our incredible week with Pebbles Inc and their Welcome Christmas collection along with our spotlight on our MUST HAVE Epiphany Craft Studio Shape Star Tool!

Designer tips:

Use Epiphany Crafts shapes and buttons to replace a letter in your title, like the "o" in LOVE. It's a great way to bring in a pattern you've used elsewhere in the layout.

Instagram photos are a great way to capture "everyday moments" you want to record, and the square prints are fun to layer with patterned papers cut to different sizes.

The MyStik adhesive is both personalizable (just add a favorite photo) and adjustable (3 different positions -- find the one that's most comfortable for your hand), so you can truly make it yours.

Merry Christmas Card by Designer Emily Branch

I always like to find new ways to use the tools, so you can get the most of out of it! So, for the oval tool I made a garland of leaves. So easy to do-just punch, fold in halg and arrange into a garland swag!

Holiday Traditions Mini Album by Designer Jennifer Priest

One more project, a mini album all about our family traditions. I created this mini about all the traditions we are making as a family to put our stamp on holidays, specials trips, and so on in our lives together.

I sandwiched ribbon between EC shapes to make charms on the strands hanging from the book's spine. I also layered shapes and added pearl bling to the tops of some of the scallop circles to play on the dimension.

Epiphany Crafts Puts a Little Joy in Your Heart!!

2011-11-19T10:58:00.000-08:00

That is...it makes the perfect holiday ornaments come to life!

Perfect example...Designer Linda Auclair's creations we're tickled to share with you today!

Linda not only used Epiphany Crafts Tools and embellishments...she also included Tattered Angels as well! Notice how our Scallop Tool and Bubble Caps finish off the ornament and create a sweet spool! And our Button Charms make just the right finishing touch to both!!

Joy Ornament

Designer: Linda Auclair

Spool ornaments are all the rage this holiday season, and here is my take on the design using Epiphany Crafts custom buttons and epoxies to put an fun and individual twist on the traditional design.

Epiphany Crafts Supplies:

Epiphany Crafts Button 14

Epiphany Crafts Scalloped Circle 25

Other Materials used:

3/4 inch wooden spool

Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist (Sweet Clover)

Tattered Angels Glimmer Must (Pearl)

Tattered Angels Glimmer Glam (Bordeaux)

Echo Park Paper "Merry Christmas" collection paper (Christmas Carol)

October Afternoon Good Cheer collection paper (Sleigh Bells)

small jingle bell

Baker's Twine by The Twinery in Marichino

Glimmer alphabet letters by Making Memories

Fiskars craft drill

Instructions:

1. Paint the wooden spool with the Glimmer Glam. Allow to dry.

2. Spray a 3/4 inch by 6 inch length of the Christmas Carol paper with the Glimmer Mists. Allow to dry.

3. Wrap the spool with the Christmas Carol patterned paper, adhering with liquid glue.

4. Create 2 Scalloped Circle epoxies with the blue side of the Sleigh Bells paper. Create 2 buttons with the red side of the Sleigh Bells.

5. Using the smallest drill bit, drill two small holes through both the Scalloped Circle epoxies.

6. Assemble the ornament by passing a needle threaded with the twine through one hole of the scalloped circle, then through one of the button holes, then through the loop of the jingle bell, and then back through the button and scalloped circle in turn. Pass both ends through the spool, and repeat the action on one button hole at a time with each end of the twine, and tie at the top.

7. Adhere letter stickers to Christmas Carol patterned paper.

8. Hang and enjoy!

Instructions:
1. Spray "Christmas Carol" music note paper generously with Sweet Clover and Pearl Glimmer Mists. Let dry.
2. Cut about 8 one half inch strips. Cute each in half, and curl around a pencil.
3. Disassemble ornament and fill with the curled strips.
4. Create one Round 25 Button and one Round 14 epoxy with the "Happy Holidays" patterned paper. Adhere the Round 14 epoxy to the Round Charm.
5. Tie the charm and tag to the ornament with the baker's twine.

A Time to Be Grateful!

2011-11-18T14:13:00.000-08:00

"Let us be grateful to people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom." Marcel Proust

November is a month that reminds us to be thankful...grateful for family, friends, house and home, jobs and life.

Designer Keri Babbit has a special layout today celebrating just that! We loved the hand tied bow and of course the Epiphany Crafts accents!

Tips & Techniques:

1. Use Glimmer Glam or Glaze first to add detail to the accents.

2. Add Glimmer Mist afterwards, for a great resist effect.

3. Paint the felt flowers with Glimmer Glam, for a richer, sparkly look.

4. For perfectly coordinated accents with a Grateful theme, use Epiphany Tools and punches to create various embellishments for your page, all out of the same sheet of paper!

Other Supplies:

Tattered Angels Chipboard Frame

I splattered my white cardstock with Tattered Angels Electric Blue Glimmer Mist before layering patterned papers. On a scrap piece of white cardstock, I sprayed Electric Blue and Honey Dew Glimmer Mist. After the mist dried, I used a few rub ons and the Scalloped Round Epoxy Shape Studio to make custom embellishments to match my lay out. With a paintbrush, I painted the Electric Blue right on to the Tattered Angels chipboard frame. I love these frames and use them everywhere! Here, I used the frame to highlight the journaling.

3.Immediately add about half a teaspoon of fine white glitter into the bottle, and shake it so it coats all sides.
