cReative Team Tuesday: Valentine Mantle & Interchangeable Wreath

Tuesdays are quickly becoming my favoRite day of the week because I KNOW I will be utterly uplifted & inspiRed by my cReative Team! And...today you will, too! Check out what Nancy & Melissa cReated for Valentine's day: LOVEly Mantle w/ Rhonna Designs Printable décor and Interchangeable Wreaths! LOVE these~ LOOK: 

Simple as 1, 2, 3! Nancy shows how to print, trip & decorate! Go on over to her blog for step by step & HOW to get this look. Don't you LOVE the brick wall behind, too? I am seriously dying! And, I"m LOVING the cute pencil arrows...they'd be sooo cute as Valentines, or teacher gifts, neighbor gifts...Oh, Nancy...thank you sooo much for getting my cReative juices flowing! LOVE this project...every single bit! And LOVE how she combined The KISS Collection with the Kiss Me Bundle...gorgeous!

Ok...sit down for this one.  Melissa is going to WOW you! She's one of our wreath makers-extraordinaire & I love all of her projects! Well, she says:

I was getting ready to make a Valentine wreath then got tired of buying new wreath forms all the time. So I had the idea to wrap the form with lace, then use it for ALL the season.... The decorations are just pinned on with straight pins so I can pull them off and then reuse the wreath. I figure I can show it a few ways this year when you've got new stuff coming out.  So far I've made Valentines day and a Happy Birthday one, with stuff cut out for Spring.

 This Valentine wreath just makes me giddy! Go on over to her blog: Polka Dot Chair to see her step by step! I mean.....I"m LOVING this: feathers, arrows, glitter, & Rhonna Designs...all together in one Interchangeable Wreath! Sheer Perfection!

See the cute Rhonna Designs Printable pieces she's got going here? Then, changing them out w/ pins & such to create a unique Wreath every season...LOVE this, Melissa!

Thanks so much, both Nancy & Melissa, for your amazing talent! Sharing your cReativity to uplift & inspiRe is what it's all about ! LOVE it!

Happy Tuesday & go! cReate something! NOW!

DIY Valentine cRaft ideas

I am sick in bed. I've pinned & surfed &....well...I'm not in a position to get the rest of my photos in place for the last of the 14 Valentine ideas series. so sorry...but, I did have an idea. (and of course it came through my 100 Creativity Exercises that I still do, even when I'm sick) & that is: Look at something differently. Turn it upside down, sideways, backwards. Figure it out...creatively.

so...I give you my vintage Valentine ideas from last year & a couple of years ago...I still love these ideas...so, let' get to idea no. 9: Valentine in a bottle. Goes right in hand with yesterday's Fresh Living segment.

When I was at the studio, the guests the day before were April & Lindsay from The Sweet Life...perfect! Because this project was in their magazine last year! LOL! 

So...run on over to my vintage ideas & there's a DIY HERE so you can make this, too!

idea no. 10: Napkin Flowers

Just like last year, my husband & I are putting on a Valentine Dance for 1000+ college students.

tomorrow night.

yea, I need to get better, huh?

And, I've got all of these fabuloh-so napkin flowers to adorn the tables & decor! Again...here's a DIY How-to so you can create these too!

idea no. 11: Heart Candy Boxes

This polka dot heart box, from 2010, is a fun one...even if you don't have a heart box, you can make your own or use any kind of box...the fun thing about this project is adding the polka dots to the box with circle labels....so easy & cute!

idea no. 12: Coffee Filter Heart

Creating coffee filter fluffs is super easy...in this video tutorial, I show you how to create the fluff flowers...but, then in THIS video tutorial, I show you how to put them in a heart shaped box. But, remember, you can just cut out a heart from a cardboard box & put the cute fluffs all over. Super easy!

idea no. 13: Rolled Fabric Flowers

This is still one of my fave things...printing out Rhonna Designs onto printable silks, satins, or broadcloth & creating these fabric flowers as shown in the video DIY Tutorial HERE.

and...lastly, but not least: idea no. 14: Singed Satin Flower Gifts

I did a bunch of these DIY tutorials a couple of years ago...& I still love them. Learn how to create them yourself here:

Singed Ruffle Flower

Singed Flowers are shown in this web show I did....look towards the end of the video. 

And...get some more info HERE with a step by step tutorial. with tips & tricks & my FREE download template HERE>

DIY cRaft ideas: paper flowers & free download!

idea no. 8: Valentine Paper Flowers

You know I have loved making these vintage paper flowers...huge ones...all over my house.

Well, I have been printing the Kiss Me collection papers onto vintage book paper, dictionary paper, & music paper & am loving the effect they have when making these flowers. So...I thought I'd share a HOW-TO for this DIY project AND the free download template to get you going on this fun hybrid project!

Pin It

Supplies needed:

paper: vintage book papers OR plain copy paper

pin or skewer with pear or gem or topper

kraft paper

free Valentine Paper Flower template from Rhonna Designs

scissors

hot glue/gun

fringe scissors

 Pin It

Steps:

No. 1: Print out free Valentine Paper Flower template from Rhonna Designs onto vintage papers. Note; when doing this, make sure it's vintage, but not too old that it will crack or rip easily...you will be crinkling these papers a lot.

No. 2: Cut out template pieces. (think butterfly or bow-tie shape) (4 large, 4 medium, 3 small, 2 extra small)
No. 3: Using the plain vintage music papers, book papers, or kraft paper, cut out each paper with the same sizes as noted above. The idea is, you'll be layering colored Kiss Me papers, with kraft & vintage papers for a cool look.

 Pin It

No. 4: Crinkle. Wrinkle. Distress, whatever you want to do to give a ruffled look to these petals.

No. 5: Grab a stick pin or skewer (or toothpick, even) with a pearl, jewel...or something on top that will be the  'middle' of the flowers.

No. 6: Starting with the extra small petals, add a dab of glue on the bottom of the pearl & pierce the 2 extra small petals (put them criss cross) & push onto the hot glue.

 Pin It

No. 7: Continue layering with the sizes & varying the patterns & colors until you are finished.

ideas: using the smaller sizes, make smaller flowers. using the larger sizes make larger flowers. for 'extra large' flowers, just cut out the papers with the same technique & assemble HUGE flowers! *my fave*

Pin It

You can cut out larger pieces freehand as you get the hang of it, but just wanted to share this little fRee Valentines DIY download with you!
