Hi ya everyone!
Thought I would share a little Imagine project using the Yummy cartridge and my Imagine. I also used the Mother's Day Bouqet cartridge but used the Imagine to cut and print them in a gorgeous pale shade of pink also from the Yummy cartridge.
Have you ever had a project that started simple enough? This one sure did - with a card...
I simply cut out the shapes from the Imagine - popped a few of the letters - used all this yummy printed paper (can you believe each piece was WHITE before I started!!?), pieced the card together and added some baker's twine and a button. My card was simple and elegant but I thought - oh how cute would a little treat box be with it.
So I started making a treat box...
The box is from the Yummy cartridge as well. The pattern that prints with it however wasn't what I wanted - so I just changed it to this adorable light floral paper. The problem was there were no guidelines for folding and it's a bit complicated. So I simple cut out a template and used the lines from that and scored both at the same time. Added a tag and some eyelets - oh and don't forget some decadent candies and was done...
Well not so much - I then decided to make a little plaque...
Now can you see how one project turned into three!? I have a number of these little wooden plaques that I've had so much fun decorating lately. Again, I headed for the Yummy cartridge printed out my papers and sentiments and also printed paper for the flowers. I used a bit of B000 and B01 Copic to color the flower centers and for the leaves I used a YG03. Adhered them together with some tiny silver brads and attached them to the plaque. I added more twine and a button to finish off the project.
Now I have an adorable little gift set to give to someone when their special day roles around and to think this all started with a card!
That's me, not old... vintage! Love it and the colors are wonderful for this great project. I am ready to hang that plaque! Love these projects... what a perfect gift for someone on their special day! LOVE IT!!!

ReplyDeleteOh Melissa, I'm so jealous! I've had no time to play with my Imagine and it lies neglected in the closet. This is such a fabulous birthday set! Now I want to drag it our (and figure it out) since I've done NOTHING with it. xxD
