Lemon Summer Decor Lanter

Hello, all!

A funny thing happened here. Robyn and I both picked the Watermelon Decor Lantern as our blog post project. So after a session of scissor-paper-rock :-) we decided for Robyn to stick with the watermelon lantern and for me to pick another one. Lucky me Suzanne did a couple different ones, so I went for the

Lemon Summer Decor Lantern.

What a wonderful and fresh summer decoration.

You will need cardstock in the colors of
yellow

white

transparent sheets (for the panels)

I also used Embossing Powder to make the lemons shine :-)

Suzanne did a video on how to assemble the lantern, you can watch it here.

Have a happy, crafty week,

Assembling the Quietfire Spinning Easel Cards

Hi there!

Today we're assembling the spinning easel cards. They're fun interactive cards great to give and receive. In this tutorial I'll share all the tips and tricks for making your own spinning easel cards!

The spinning easel cards are all available at my Silhouette Design Store HERE (by using this link I may earn a small commission at no cost to you). Just filter on my profile for "spinning".

This video shows you how to assemble them - I've used the Santa card for this demo because it's one of the more involved cards to make, only because there are lots of layers needed to make him a great lookin' Santa.

Enjoy!

SUMMER LETTERS BOOKLET MINI ALBUM

Hello all!

Summer is finally here :-) I don´t know about you, but it has taken quite a long time for summer to really kick in this year.

I made this booklet mini-album for home decoration.

Materials I used:

SUMMER LETTERS BOOKLET MINI ALBUM

AWWW butterflies spray die

patterned cardstock

white cardstock

water-based markers

the booklet mini album all cut

the letters all cut (out of light and dark yellow cardstock)

the booklet and the letters put together

Now it´s time to decorate. I went with butterflies. I colored the paper myself using water-based markers. I colored the acrylic block in the colors of my choice, sprayed water on it, turned the block around and onto a paper.
