Celebrate

Hello my friends! Wow, it has been almost a week since my last post, I am so sorry. I had all the intentions to create, but I have been attacked by horrible sinus headaches. I have my moments I just want to sleep and rest, but it is very hard sometimes.
Anyway, I have a cute little project for you today. I made a baby carriage from an empty ribbon spool. As every Wednesday you can enjoy more great project at the Heartfelt Creations Blog.

Directions:
  • Start with an empty ribbon spool.
  • Die-cut a couple of White Circles to cover the spool.
  • Die-cut a couple of Circles in Pink Cardstock. Divide it in 4 and cut out 1/4 piece to create the stroller shape. Mat this piece with a slightly darker piece of Pink Cardstock, cut borders with scallop scissor.
  • Die-cut Posy flowers with Posy Patch Die, ink all edges and create flower using 2 and 3 in each flower.
  • Add flowers to stroller and to create wheels.
  • Add Dew drops in each wheel and Red Gala Glits to stroller flowers.
  • Stamp sentiment from Cardinal with Holly Berries Pre-cut set. (stamp only the "Celebrate" part. Cut sentiment as a banner and add to stroller. Add a couple of dew drops.

Recipe:
  • Cardstock: White, Bubblegum Pink (GKD), TuTu Pink, Pinkini (Bazzill)
  • Stamps: Sentiment from "Cardinal with Holly Berries Pre-cut set.
  • Ink: Vintage Photo Distress (Ranger), Worn Lipstick (Ranger)
  • Embellishments: Poinsettia Dew Drops, Red Gala Glitz.
  • Accessories: Posy Patch Die (Heartfelt Creations), Large Circle Nestabilities (Spellbinders), Grand Calibur (Spellbinders), Jute tiwne, Scor-tape, Scallop scissors.
