Accio Bookmarks

Good morning, everyone! I can never resist anything related to Harry Potter. So when I tried thinking of a fun project to share with you all this month, I naturally put on my sorting hat and got to getting creative.

My oldest wanted some bookmarks, and I obliged by making a set of Harry Potter inspired ones for him. It's pretty fitting since we are finally on Half Blood Prince. It's great to reread those books with him because I get to relive it. And I'm trying reallllly hard to get my youngest interested so I can eventually read them to him as well.

I used a lot of different sets for these which is the fun part. I mean, just imagine all the uses each of these sets have seen from everyone using them! I've listed all the supplies I've used at the bottom to create these. They are double sided in case you're wondering. Each of the bookmarks are 2"x6" for those wanting to make some of your own. These would also be fab stocking stuffers or sent with a gift of a book for someone using whatever they're interested in as the theme. I already have ideas for more!


ACCIO BOOKMARKS!



Here they all are:
1. Quidditch brooms and a golden snitch
2. Gryffindor scarf and Harry's little face complete with lightning bolt scar
3. Mandrakes and earmuffs
4. Hedwig wearing Gryffindor colors on her scarf and letters



I hope you enjoyed my project today and you're inspired to take a good look at your stamps and create something for yourself, or a loved one, teacher, daycare provider, or whoever would love a custom set of fun bookmarks themed with something they adore. Thanks for checking them out!

Happy Easter Box

Hi, there! It's Roxanne here today with a cute little project I came up with just in time for Easter. I'm actually going to use for a decoration on my china cabinet because I love how it came out.

Here's a little secret on my project...I didn't use any Easter themed stamp sets from Lawn Fawn! Gasp!! I don't actually have any yet, so I had to get creative. I love making things out of unexpected sets.

These are the supplies I used for the project I'm about to show you.



The box was something I had a few of left in my stash. I just added the pink striped paper from the Lawn Fawn 6x6 Petite Paper Pack, Let's Polka. I sanded the edges to blend them in and smooth out the cuts I had to make to get it to fit.


Next, I created my tag from the Winter Gifts set. I stamped it with Memento in Tuxedo Black ink onto kraft cardstock (my fry box is kraft as well) and cut it out and punched a hole in the top of the tag. I colored in the border with a couple of my Spectrum Noir Blendable Colored Pencils.


For the Happy Easter sentiment, I stamped that using the word "happy" from the Happy Feast set and "Easter" was from the Milo's ABC's set. I used Versafine, Onyx Black to make sure it was nice and dark! I then set that aside to dry.

I stamped the pennants from the Winter Gifts set onto two different patterened papers from the 6x6 Let's Polka Petite Paper Pack and cut them to fit onto the tag. I used Memento, Tuxedo Black for those and foam adhesive to give them dimension.

On to my Easter basket! For the basket, I used the bucket from the Trim the Tree set and formed the garland from that set to create a handle for my basket. I then fussy cut it out and colored it in with the Spectrum Noir Blendable Colored Pencils.

For the eggs, I used the two round, striped ornaments from the Trim the Tree set and this time, I used the Lawn Cuts for the set to cut them out. I then colored them in with my pencils again.

To get the eggs in the basket, I cut a slit at the top of the basket from left to right, almost to the created handle. I then cut some in half, snuck them in and layered them to make it appear realistic.

I decided an Easter basket definitely needs a bow, so I used the bow from the Trim the Tree set with Radiant Neon in Electric Coral and diecut it with the coordinating Lawn Cuts. They really do make life easy!!

Next, I decided I needed something under the sentiment, so I grabbed the small ornament from the Trim the Tree set and those became my carrots! I chose to fussy cut around them so I could draw in a simple green topper to each of them as the leaves of the carrots. I used some trimmed down foam adhesive to pop them off the tag.

I just adhered the tag onto the box front with some foam adhesive and grabbed some lime green tissue paper and folded it and trimmed it at the top to mimic grass, and stuffed that inside. Really easy and super cute!


I hope you enjoyed my project today and that I've inspired you to look at your sets in new ways you might not have thought of before to create something fun and whimsical! Thanks for looking! Happy crafting :)
