Keep Calm and Spook On - Epiphany Crafts

I wanted to add text to my Halloween display this year, so I made my own version of a "Keep Calm" sign. I borrowed the phrase, but I made my own image at picmonkey.com.

The flower is a Ruffle Blossom in a print that will soon be available in my shop. I love the orange and the dots! I made the center of my flower with Epiphany Crafts tools.

You can read more about it at the Epiphany Crafts blog today :). And if you'd like to borrow my print, feel free to copy and save:

Picmonkey has lots of options for Halloween icons and fonts, so you may just want to go try your own :). Just don't forget to dress it up with Epiphany Crafts :). Have fun! Tessa

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

Sweet Bunny Ears

Hello! With Easter just around the corner, Epiphany Crafts is posting oodles of gorgeous Easter and Spring accessory ideas on their blog this week, and my project is up today :).

This is Emmy, my little niece. Using a headband that I found in the dollar spot at Target, I made her the ultimate Easter accessory - Bunny Ears! I made a flower hair clip and simply clipped it to one ear. After Easter she can wear the clip by itself. Can you tell she wasn't too happy during this photo shoot? The poor thing was getting over a fever :(.

I used the button tool for the first time to create this custom flower center. I am IN LOVE! The options are endless! This button is backed with a bit of patterned paper from Echo Park.

To see more Epiphany Crafts Easter and Spring ideas, visit this post. And if you like the ruffle blossom that I used for the clip, you can purchase your own in my Etsy shop! I've added this light green design, as well as a several others:

The last sets of ruffle blossoms sold out quickly, so you might want to pick these up soon if you are interested. Have a fabulous day! Tessa
