Papercrafting with Gayle: January 2020

Make a Be Mine Heart Banner for

Valentine's Day and Beyond!

Welcome! Today I am excited to share with you a quick, easy and fun project you can easily do with kids -- my Be Mine Heart Banner shown above. 💖

You will be able to quickly create your own Heart Banner with these super sturdy, yet light, wooden hearts. They are available for a limited time at PapercratingWithGayle.ctmh.com. You will receive a set of 5 hearts, each with two pre-drilled holes for you to easily connect and display your finished banner (or hang individually) with your ribbons, cords, twine, or whatever you'd like.

They are a great size and ready for you to stamp, paint, or turn into a papercrafting project! You are visiting my Papercrafting blog, so you can easily guess which medium I used to decorate mine! Paper!💝😎

A great bonus is included with your purchase! SVG files! Yes! Although certainly not needed to decorate, they are a great little bonus, making cutting paper hearts and sayings super quick with the use of your Cricut or similar cutting machine! They are shown in the photo above. Think of the cute little candy hearts!

I used a mix of the patterned papers included in the adorable Oh My Heart creative collection. 💖 Along with the heart and a few of the Valentine heart sentiments cut using the SVG files, I also cut cupid images using the Close to My Heart Artiste Collection. 💖

Although I, as did Close to My Heart, decorated my hearts to use during February, they would be great decorated for weddings, anniversaries, or bridal showers. I can also imagine individual personalized hearts. The possibilities are endless!

I love that Close to My Heart has ventured into providing us with wooden elements! This opens the door for us to incorporate our papercrafting more fully into our home decor. 💖

The All Around Creativity Wreaths are beautiful, and those who have been creating them at my workshops, and on their own, are so pleased with the results.

These hearts are now also gracing many people's homes, showcasing both novice and experienced papercrafter's handiwork.

Along with the hearts and wreaths, Small, assorted wooden shapes and album frames are also available for your scrapbooking and cardmaking! This is such a great option! Here's a sample of some of the wooden shapes included in the set of Spruced Up embellishments.

Love it! I invite you to join me in creating some of these beautiful papercrafting kits! Using Liquid Glass to attach your papers to wood, you will have long lasting treasures! 💖

Thank you so much for visiting! YOU are appreciated!

I enjoy hearing from you and appreciate your business and support! I look forward to helping you as you travel along life's journey celebrating relationships with all of YOUR papercrafting and memory keeping needs. 💖

Have a wonderful day!

Happy Papercrafting,

Papercrafting Fun With All Around Creativity!

Hello! Welcome! There is so much to be grateful for, including YOU, dear reader, friend, and customer! 💝

My Grateful Wreath is a happy reminder to reflect on all we have to be grateful for! It was such a delight to create!

My 16-inch frame is laser cut plywood and part of the new All Around Creativity collection of kits available at PapercraftingWithGayle.ctmh.com.

To give mine a bit of bling, I coated it with my Clear Shimmer Brush. I love how it glistens in the light!

The multitude of leaves included in the kits are oh, so easy to punch out. I simply gave mine a bit of a fold, down the center to add dimension, and then using my Gold Shimmer Brush, lightly went over vein lines. This simple act adds dimension and a subtle sparkle.

Prior to removing my flowers from their carrier sheet, I lightly sponged the layers of a couple of the flowers with Mint Ink, and others with Ballerina Ink. They are a fresh White upon arrival, and are beautiful as is! Liquid Glass is my go-to adhesive for assembling flowers and wreaths!

After my flowers were assembled, I added Julep and Silver Glitter Gems, along with a mix of Julep and Silver Sequins. 💝

Oh, my goodness! This paper bow is so easy and fun to create! It adds such a delightful finishing touch to my wreath! 💝

The All Around Creativity Kit now comes in four additional versions, along with my Grateful Wreath. They include, Be Kind, Stay Awhile, Create and just released, Love. 💖

Each kit includes--your selected sentiment/frame

- Punch out leaves, flowers, and bow
- 4 Background paper options

When creating your wreath, you will need a strong adhesive! I highly recommend Liquid Glass.

I do hope you will join me in creating one or more of these beautiful wreaths for your own home/office/classroom decor, or to give as a gift! It will surely be enjoyed for years to come!
