Designer Friday - Ruffle Blossom Projects

I am in the midst of sewing up literally hundreds of Ruffle Blossoms. These flowers have been very popular and I am happy to be sending so many off to lovely customers :). I have rounded up several Ruffle Blossom projects from the Precocious Paper design team to share with you today. First up, this lovely layout by Amanda Jones Robinson:

Amanda has combined her signature white space style with a Calico Ruffle Blossom. I love the button flair she added to the flower center, and how it repeats the patterned paper behind the flower. Love!

Here, Cassandra Cyr has created a fabulous fall layout with a Tangerine Dot Ruffle Blossom. The fabric-covered brad in the center is a great contrast to the bright orange.

Cassie used a Pink and Peach Flowers on Oatmeal Ruffle Blossom to embellish another pretty autumn page. I love that glossy brad center!

And finally, Mindy Gallagher created this sweet layout featuring a Pink and Grey Damask Ruffle Blossom. I love how Mindy clustered a trio of pretty buttons in the center :).

If you have been playing with Precocious Paper Ruffle Blossoms, I would love to see! Whether you scrapbook with them or turn them into accessories, I would love to take a peek. Post your project on the Precocious Paper Facebook page, or link me in the comments on this post. I have a little something for you when you do :). If you don't have these pretty flowers on hand yet, you can find them here. There are currently 22 patterned styles available, as well as over 30 solid colors.

Thanks to Amanda, Cassie and Mindy for the fabulous project inspiration! Enjoy your day :). Tessa

Designer Friday: Cassandra Cyr

Happy Friday! I am so excited to share with you more projects from the talented Cassandra Cyr. I sent Cassie Sweet Spots and Buttercup Yellow Felt Roses from the Peachy Keen line, and boy did she create some beautiful things. First up, this fabulous layout:

I love the instax photos, the thread, and the strips of patterned paper. I especially love how she matted the Sweet Spots with die-cuts for even more dimension and color. Those little accents are definitely versatile!

When Cassie needed a Mother's Day card, a felt rose was the perfect accent. Isn't this card beautiful?

I just love that whole embellishment cluster!

If you would like to get your hands on the Peachy Keen line, you can find it here. Through this weekend, use code PEACHYKEEN during checkout and you will receive 10% off of your entire order (Peachy Keen line or otherwise!).

And an extra little shout out.... Have you seen the June issue of Create: Mini Albums yet? Cassie has a beautiful family-themed mini in there (and it even features a few Precocious Paper pieces!). Thank you for your fabulous work, Cassie! Have a great day, everyone! Tessa

Designer Friday - Cassie with the For Like Ever Sampler

Happy Friday, everyone! Before I get started on Designer Friday, I wanted to say thank you for all the sweet comments on Colten's post. He thought it was really cool that people (from all over the world!) would take a moment to cheer him on in his cub scout adventures. Tomorrow he will be receiving his Wolf, a gold arrow point and three silver arrow points. He will also be getting a computers pin. We're super-duper proud of him :).

And now, I'd like to debut the fabulous work of Cassie! Cassie has been playing with the For Like Ever Sampler and I could not be more excited to share her projects with you today. First up, a gorgeous wreath:

Isn't this amazing?! Cassie made all of those pretty paper flowers, then embellished the wreath with the heart doily, bow, cupcake poppy, leaves, and a bit of ribbon from the sampler. Gorgeous!

Cassie also created a pair of layouts with more bits from the sampler, including this one that features a crinkle satin ruffle blossom:

The For Like Ever Sampler included some sweet heart confetti in a little brown paper bag, and Cassie put it to great use on this layout (along with a sewing pattern petal from the sampler):

Be sure to stop by the Facebook Page to see more close-ups of Cassie's work. I hope to have the new design team page up soon, but in the meantime, visit Cassie's blog here to learn more about this fabulous lady :). I only have a few more of the For Like Ever Sampler in stock, and you can find it here.
