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 - Mindy

Happy Friday! I am thrilled to be bringing you a fabulous project by my new design team gal, Mindy Gallagher! Mindy has been playing with all of the fun "extras" to the Precocious Sampler and she combined them into a beautiful, boxed stationery set:

So pretty! And just wait 'til you look inside. The box opens up to reveal organized slots for cards, mini cards and tags, as well as a little note pad and a pocket for stamps.

Wow, right?! Here are the tags, including Precocious Sweet Spots and Precocious Button Sweet Spots:

And mini cards, including more Sweet Spots and a felt rose:

And some really fun cards including a Butterfly Doily and even more Sweet Spots (I love how far a package of those goes!):

Fantastic project, Mindy! If you've been inspired, you can find these products and more in the shop here. The design team page is currently being remodeled, so I invite you to get to know more about Mindy at her blog, here. Thank you all so much for stopping by today! Tessa
