Epiphany Crafts Puts a Little Joy in Your Heart!!

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.

Tattered Angels is known for their unique Glimmer Mists and Sprays! 

All this week we have projects from our talented team of  Epiphany Crafts designers that will show you how to use our two products together!

And So It Begins Layout

Designer: Samantha Sibbet

Epiphany Crafts Supplies:

Shape Studio Tool Scallop

Scallop Round Bubble Caps

Other Supplies:
Tattered Angels Electric Blue Glimmer Mist
Honey Dew Glimmer Mist
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.

"Love" Tray Ornament

Designer: Rebecca Price 

 Epiphany Crafts Supplies:
Button Studio Tool Round 14
Button Studio Tool Round 20
Button Studio Button Caps Round 14
Button Studio Button Caps Round 20

Tattered Angels supplies used:
"Inchworm" Chalkboard Glimmer Mist
"Pearl" Glimmer Mist
"Bordeaux" Glimmer Glam

Other supplies used: American Crafts cardstock, vintage music paper, Recollections rhinestone shapes, wooden tray and clothespin, glitter chipboard snowflakes

Metal Charms Round 14

Tattered Angels supplies used:
Northern Lights Glimmer Glaze

Other supplies: Tim Holtz Idea-ology Bottles, glitter, hemp cord

Quick how-to:

1. Pour a little Northern Lights Glimmer Glaze into a bottle. 

2. Swirl the bottle until the entire inside is coated by the Glimmer Glaze. Pour excess Glaze right back into it's bottle so none is wasted.

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

4. The glitter will start to take on the color of the Northern Lights Glimmer Glaze. Now just let this sit to dry. When dry re-cork the bottle and decorate the outside.

Welcome to ClearSnap & Epiphany Crafts Blog Hop Week!!

Welcome to the Epiphany Crafts and Clearsnap HALLOWEEN Blog Hop! 

All week long we'll be bringing you the spookiest, scariest, and most magical Halloween design ideas featuring Epiphany Crafts and Clearsnap products. We've mixed in a few fun projects to hopefully inspire you the remainder of the days! (although we love Halloween!)

Up first this week...Designers Emily Brand and Robyn Schaub will have you ready to get crafting! 

Halloween Party Invite
Designer: Emily Branch


Epiphany Crafts Supplies:
Shape Studio Round 14 Tool, Button 14, Vintage Settings


Other:
I used Clearsnap watermark ink to stamp the skull and cross bones. I then heat embossed clear powder and lightly added some green pigment ink from Clearsnap.

Joy Card

Designer: Robyn Schaub

Epiphany Crafts Supplies:

Round 25 Shape Studio Tool, Round 25 Bubble Caps

Other Supplies:

Clearsnap Smooch Spritz

Clearsnap Watermark Ink

Clearsnap/Colorbox Cat's Eye Inks

Designer Info: 

I made the flower from old bookprint, sprayed it with Smooch Spritz and stamped an image onto patterned paper to create the Round 25 center. The background was created by stamping an image with ClearSnap Watermark ink onto blue cardstock. The sentiment was stamped using the Colorbox Cat's Eye ink.

Amish Mini Album
Designer: Emily Branch

Epiphany Crafts Supplies:

Shape Studio Round 14 Tool, Button 14, Vintage Settings

Shape Studion Heart 25 Tool, Button Heart

Other supplies:

Clearsnap Smooch

Clearsnap Smooch Spritz Inks

Project Information:

-I used the Clearsnap smooch to "paint" flowers on the canvas like the flowers found in the coordinating paper line on the cover and farm page.
-I used the heart epoxy to create a mask on the buggy ride page, and then spritzed the smooch spritz over them and stitched the hearts.
-I used the square epoxy tool to punch squares and place them in a "grid" on the farm canvas page. To draw further interest to the grid element, I added epoxies here and there on the grid.

Flower Headband

Designer: Robyn Schaub

Epiphany Crafts Supplies:

Round 14 Shape Studio Tool, Round 14 Bubble Caps

Spring Flowers

Other Supplies:

Clearsnap Smooch Spritz

Clearsnap Smooch Ink

I altered one of my daughter's headbands by spraying a shabby flower with Smooch Spritz to give it a weathered look. I outlined the edges of the EC Spring Flowers with Smooch Ink and I stamped a faint image with the Smooch Ink on the paper before creating a Round14 for the center. I added some tulle to the back of the flower to give it a fuller look (and because my daughter loves tulle!).
