Craft 'N Mingle 2015!

Hello! Hello!  I so wanted to scan this into my computer so you could have a better view of it; however, my computer and scanner are wireless and have decided not to talk to each other (amazing how that works, huh?). 

I am really excited about the projects that we are offering for this event :).  There is quite a variety.  The prices range from $3.50-$30.  Space is filling up so don't hesitate reserving your spot.

There is one project not listed.  It is my butterfly wall shadow box.  That is also one of the options.  There is a link here on my blog to go directly to my website for more info about this wonderful event!  Can't wait to see you there :).

Thanks for stopping by! -Dari

Star Spangled Wreath

Hello! Hello!  Here is my fourth project for our upcoming Craft 'N Mingle.  I got the inspiration for this project from the blog littlebirdiesecrets.blogspot.com.  She has an awesome tutorial for this project. 

I began with a 10 inch white paper wreath I cut on my Cricut.  The inside dimensions were 7 inches.  All of the stars are the same size- 3 inches (Cricut Craft Room Basic Shapes).  There are 10 craft colored stars and 6 each of the blue, red and off white.

I distressed all of the edges with Desert Sand dye ink. For the blue stars, I ran them through the Cuttlebug using CTMH's dot embossing folder.  For the red stars, I stamped a background using CTMH's Baroque Borders (S1208): an old stamp of the month set with cranberry ink.  The off white stars are stamped with a type font background stamp I have using black ink.

The cute flag is an old CTMH rubber stamp that I dug out of my daughter's stash.  I love that stamp.  I stamped it twice and cut out part of the second image to layer and give it dimension and used 3D foam tape to assemble.

I adhered EVERYTHING using CTMH's Bonding Glue Pen and Liquid Glass.

I hope you enjoy it!  If you would like to join me on June 20th and make one of your own, the cost is $10 for this project.  Just let me know :).  I'd love to help you make your own!

CTMH Tic-Tac gift

Hello! Hello!  Who said Tic-Tacs can't be a great gift?  I would even love this (and I don't like tic-tacs) :). 

This is one of the 5 projects I am offering at our Craft 'N Mingle on June 20th here in Oakley, UT.  The project costs $4.50.  This includes the tic-tacs.  Wouldn't these be perfect for Visiting Teaching handouts; Just Because/Thinking of You/Pick Me Up gifts; Teacher Appreciation gifts.......? 

I have to admit that the Hopscotch paper packet hasn't been as easy for me to work with as I had hoped.  I love the colors of this pack, but I've had a harder time with the "juices" flowing with it.  However, you would never know from this project.  I love it!

I created the box using my Cricut.  It took quite awhile (longer than I expected) and several attempts before I was successful.  You can import your own Cricut Craft Room File for this on my website daris-corner.weebly.com. 

I will post a YouTube video for this shortly.

The ingredients I used for this project (all CTMH):

*White Daisy Cardstock
*Hopscotch paper pack
*Glacier Thick twine
*Bonding Glue Pen
* 3D foam tape
*Hello Blooms Stamp Set (C1540)
 

For me, that's a short list!!

Thanks for stopping by!  Happy crafting! :)-Dari
