Christmas Angel Dress Up Framelit Lip Balm Holder

A gorgeous Dress Up Framelit Lip Balm Holder with a twist!

Jen suggested adding some Angel wings and wah-lah we now have a Christmas Angel!

The wings are made of Vellum, that has been embossed in “Iridescent Ice”, and then I used the “Beautiful Butterflies Bigz” Die to cut the wings.

I added a t ouch of Dazzling Diamonds to the edges of the wings to give it that xtra sp*rkle.

They are then layered with cardstock underneath, and then cut in half and slipt apart by 1cm, as they needed to be a tad wider.

Packaged between the 2 Dress Up Framelits is a cardboard gift box containing an (Avon) Lip Balm.

The Dresses are then cinched in the middle by 3 strands of Organdy Ribbon, with a cute little bow.

For a step by step Tutorial, please watch this clip by France Martin aka Fenchie …

Floral Sympathy Card W/ DIY Washi Tape

A friends husband recently passed away, and I wanted to make M an xtra special Sympathy Card, made from the heart.
 
I chose the word “Celebrate” and wrote with it …
“Celebrate the life you have shared with J, and look back on those memories with fondness.”
 
As often when someone passes, everyone is thinking about their passing, and not on what they have contributed to in this world.
 
I made some Washi Tape by stamping with “Coastal Cabana” on the “Very Vintage” Wheel Stamp, and rolling it onto white tissue paper, and then adhering double sided tape to the reverse of the tissue paper.
This Washi Tape can also be torn (rather than cut), and looks like the real McCoy!
This is an awesome way to make your Washi Tape match back with your project perfectly, as you are using the ink pad that you may also be using throughout your craft project.
