DIY Glam Flowers to Dress Up Flip Flops plus and Shabby Chic Card

I just love to make flowers, and the easier the better!!  These flowers so super easy to make because most of the work is already done for you with the flower trim from Expo International Inc. and Supertite Glue.

Various companies provided me with some product to create this project.  The opinions I share are solely my own.


These flowers are super simple to make.  Check out the video below.


To assemble the flowers I used Supertite Fabric Tac adhesive.  It created a wonderful stick between the gem and the fabric flower.

One project I used the flowers on was to re purpose a pair of flip flops for my daughter.  I added a white flower to a old pair of flop flops that my son had grown out of and then added some extra gems along the side as well.  The gems, trims, and flowers are all from Expo International  Inc.


Just look how cute these flip clips are now!


They went from blah to glam with just a few materials!


I also used the same flower that I made but this time in the black material to make a card.  One simple flower can be use to create so many different things!


Check out the video on how to make this card!


To glue all the layers of papers, flowers, mesh, and gems I used the Supertite All Purpose Universal Adhesive.  It works like a charm!

Stamped & Watercolor Artist Trading Coins

Artist Trading Coins are a fun new twist on the Artist Trading Card.  Instead of making the shape a rectangle, it is a circle.  The side to side dimension or diameter is still the same as a regular ATC so it can still fit into an ATC holder, but really you can make then as small or large as you want!  The fun part of an ATC (the coin still has the acronym), is that you can make into anything you want, that is the freedom of the ATC.  I made 3 coins for my first try, all with the same techniques, but in different colors.


Check out the video below to see how fun these are to make!!






I first stamped the image in a black pigment ink onto the Derwent Academy Watercolour Pad and then colored the spaces in with the Derwent Academy Watercolour Pencil Tin in various colors.  The first circle was done with hues of blue and purples.




After coloring in the section I used the Derwent Academy Assorted Brushes with water to brush the color into a watercolor effect.  It was wonderful!




After coloring in the sections with the watercolor pencils I cut it out into the circle shape with a die cut and inked the edges.  This one was done in colors are in reds yellows, and oranges.  



I just love this pairing of colors, they blended wonderfully!




I then printed out the phrase "Creativity Takes Courage" on my printer in a fun script font and cut out each word and inked them.  I used the Xyron 1.5 in Sticker Maker to turn each little word into a sticker to place on to the ATC.  This last one is shades of green.



For a little added flair I added in some staples and some gem rhinestones.


Using the Xyron 1.5 in Sticker Maker made the application of each of these tiny words so much easier and they stick wonderfully!


So if you are looking for a fun new twist on a creative little project, try out doing a little Artist Trading Coin, something about making it a circle is super fun!!
