Say A Special Thanks with Lily Bee & GlueArts

As the end of the school year winds down, every searches for that special way to thank a teacher, coach, classroom helper...and the list goes on.

Today Designer Patti Mliazzo has a beautiful way to do just that thanks to Lily Bee products, Epiphany Crafts Tools and Bubble Caps...and GlueArts of course! And our talented gal, Andrea Budjack offers us a beautiful layout based on the Lily Bee sketch (see yesterday's blog post) celebrating her children!

"Thanks!" Gift Tote with Rosettes

GlueArts Designer: Patti Milazzo

Supply List: 

Glue Arts- 

Glue Glider Pro 

1/4 Perma Tac Cartridge Refill - Pro

U-Cut-It Adhesive Foam

Raise ‘Ns

Adhesive Squares

Extreme Adhesive Squares

Extreme Micro Adhesive Squares

Glue Gun

Glue Gun Stick Refills

Lily Bee:

Victoria Park Collection Kit

Epiphany Crafts:

Round 14 punch tool

Bubble Caps – Clear Round 14

Charm

Other: dollar bin black pattern tote box, ribbon, pins, button, vellum, hemp

Instructions:

Prepare the inside of the container by using the Glue Gun to adhere a piece of floral foam to the bottom of the box. Set aside.

I started by cutting and adhering a decorative paper strip around the cardboard container I had for this project. I used the Glue Glider Pro with Perma Tac Adhesive and added Extreme Adhesive Squares on the ends of the strips to secure them in place. Cut a 3.5” circle from green and another 4” circle from pink. Layer these and trim the larger with scallop scissors. Adhere this to the right front of the container with a piece of U-Cut-It Adhesive Foam.

Next, I made assorted rosettes for the embellishment accenting the front of the container as well as the flowers inserted into the box using Lily Bee’s Victoria Park collection. For these, I prefer to use the Glue Gun to secure the rosettes with circle punches. 

Layer multiple rosettes on top of each other with hot glue and apply the Bag of Bits Die Cuts with Adhesive Squares, U-Cut-It Adhesive Foam or Raise ‘Ns for just a bit of dimension.

Once the rosettes for inside the container are complete, use the Glue Gun to attach them to the inked (green) craft dowels. Cut a few leaves from green pattern paper, crumple a bit and also attach these just below the rosette flowers on the dowels. Apply the pennant/banner die cuts with either Adhesive Squares or hot glue. Arrange the rosette stemmed flowers in the floral foam. Add a bit of hot glue to secure if needed.

When creating the rosette to accent the front of the container, adhere a small bow and button to the front of the rosette using Extreme Adhesive Squares. Then tuck a couple of decorative pins just behind the bow.

Using the Glue Glider Pro with Perma Tac Adhesive apply adhesive to the ends of the pennant/banner Bag of Bits Die Cuts and tuck under the left side of the scalloped circle, as shown.

For the Epiphany Craft charm on the smallest flower I used the punch tool on the collection kit cover sheet where the “It’s a beautiful day” sentiment happened to be the perfect fit for this accent. Once I added the Clear Bubble Cap with the tool, I adhered this piece inside the charm with a Micro Extreme Adhesive Square.

To complete the gift box, I filled the bottom with a bit of tissue paper to cover the floral foam. This can be glued in place also. Then I topped it with a small strip of sheer green fabric. I created a decorative gift box from Lily Bee’s Charcoal Stationary (cardstock) and embellished it with a bit of pattern paper and a Bag of Bits heart die cut. I tucked this into the container after filling it with a gift card and a few treats and my gift tote was complete.

Sunshine of My Life Layout

GlueArts Designer: Grace Tolman

Supplies:

Glue Arts Perma Tac

Glue Arts Extreme Square

Glue Arts Mini Square

Glue Arts Raisen’s

Cardstock- WorldWin

Pattern paper and brads- Happy Go Lucky, Pebbles

Ribbon- SEI

Glitter glue- Diamond, Stickles, Ranger Industries

Pen, Circle cutter, corner rounder and square punch- Creative Memories

Border punch- Fiskars

Cartridge- CM Traveler

Glue Arts Raisen’s adhesives are one of my favorite dimensional adhesives. That and Glue Arts U cut It foam are my go-to adhesives when I want to add dimension to my project. In this specific layout, I was able to use the same color cardstock I made the sun out of to cut my letters with. To make the letters stand out against the background, I added Raisen’s. It gives it that “ghost” look and the words are still readable. Gotta love those Raisen’s!

Leave us a comment today and let us know how you would use our GlueArts Raisen's for your next project! We'll enter you to win two pack of our Raisen's along with a pack of our U Cut It Foam!

With another amazing week with Studio Calico and their beautiful kits!

Each of our GlueArts Designers were sent the October "Field Guide" kit from Studio Calico. It was filled with patterned papers, cardstock, an exclusive Studio Calico stamp, butterflies, brads, wasabi tape and much more!

"You Are Here...In My Heart" Collage

GlueArts Designer: Patti Milazzo

Supply List: 

Glue Arts- 

Glue Glider Pro 

1/4 Perma Tac PRO+ Cartridge Refill - Pro

U-Cut-It Adhesive Foam

Raise ‘Ns

Extreme Micro Adhesive Squares

Studio Calico: Field Guide Kit

Other: 

Jenni Bowlin Squeeze Punches –Tab, Flight & Grandma’s Doily (Fiskars Americas)

8 x 10 black frame

Instructions:

Cut background paper to fit your frame. I removed the glass from my frame so that my collage could be very dimensional. On the background paper, mark any overlap of the frame edges with a pencil. Then cut the lined paper to fit in the center – I cut mine to 4.5 x 7, distressed the edges and then adhered it in the center with the Glue Glider Pro and Perma Tac PRO+ Adhesive.

With the stamps from the kit, stamp “You Are Here” on the bottom right of the tag which is also in the kit. Adhere the tag to the right side of the center paper. Cut/punch strips of pattern paper and layer these on the tag, as shown. Cut a large heart from cardstock and pattern paper. Adhere this (overlapping the tag slightly) using U-Cut-It Adhesive Foam. I used several scrap pieces from previous projects. Attach a small length of trim to the tag using one of the large brads.

Create the 3 circle accents with a mix of embellishments from the kit and punches. Use U-Cut-It Adhesive Foam, Raise ‘Ns and Extreme Micro Adhesive Squares to secure these to the lower left side of the heart.

Apply alpha stickers from the kit as well as a small strip of pattern paper at the top left of the heart. Use U-Cut-It Adhesive Foam to adhere the bird punch above the alpha stickers.

Finish the tag with some Washi Tape from the kit and a stamped arrow. I doubled the U-Cut-It Adhesive Foam for extra dimension. Complete the collage with additional brads and butterflies.

Last week's winner of the Studio Calico kit along with Glue Glider PRO is:
