I stamped "Fruit" on white card stock in green and inked the edges in light blue and glued on a precut curvy shape I received from mom. I topped it off with a couple extra floral pins from another project. Click here to go to the post on how I made these.

Joy and His Presence

For week 15 I use RomanScrD one again but this time I printed it in color on copy paper, inked the edges in black. I used a decorative punch on a turquoise piece of paper. The tab is just a rectangle folded in half and I rounded the corners. "Joy" is stickers, these came from mom so I have no idea who made them.

I punched a border in the light green paper, glued to the side of the card, and punched "presence" in a brighter light green, glued this onto a black base. Since my background paper was busy I punched a few of the branches out of coordinating colors and glued them into the corner.

Live and Listen

I used Cursive Handwriting Sample for the Week 11 font, printed on copy paper and inked the edges with light blue ink, then taped a blue ribbon folded in half to the back. I used the medium scallop oval punch for the outside of the tab and my Fiskars template to cut out the blue oval. The letters for "live" are punched using the Scrap Essential Alphabet set. The flower stem on the front is attached using pop up dots and the single flowers I used a button then with the pop up dot.

I altered the floral pin and attached to the button with ribbon. I used the Font RomandScr D for the "Listen" on the tab, and cut using a small circle punch. I pulled the ribbon through the button, tied a knot. The floral pin was altered and pushed through the ribbon then attached with a pop up dot.

Comfort and Protection

I used Script MT Bold for the font this week, printed on copy paper and inked the edges in either light green or purple ink. The decorative edge was made using a corner punch with the guard removed and glued it to the outside edge of the card. I stamped comfort in the light green then again in purple ink then separated the letters. For the tab I used purple on one side and green on the other.

Grace

I used Cursive Handwriting Sample for the Week 10 font, printed on white copy paper, and inked the edges. The little yellow flowers and the yellow tab are from some of mom's stuff. I used a corner punch, took off the edged and punched on a straight piece of paper to make the decorative edge at the bottom of the page.

Floral Stick Pins

I like the look of the stick pin you see in various projects on the Internet. I have not bought any as the only ones I can find come in the color of pink and are shaped hearts. If you have been following my blog you can see that I don't use pink a lot. I have guys so I need guy colors. Here is what I came up with. I went to JoAnn's and looked in the floral department and bought the floral pins.

I dipped them into acrylic paint and let dry. Then applied a coat of varnish. After they were dry I cleaned them up with my fingernail to get the excess paint and varnish off.

This is what they look like with the varnish, nice and shiny,

I used the Ranger distressing ink, stamp pad ink, and alcohol ink on them. I just twirled the stick pin while adding the alcohol ink, or rubbed them across my stamp pad. A Styrofoam plate works well to hold the stick pins up while drying. Once they were dry I dipped them in varnish. The ones I rubbed in stamp pad ink were still a bit damp after leaving them over night, but I dipped them in varnish anyway. They dried very nicely.

With a few buttons, beads, or ribbon you now have a custom made stick pin. This is what mine looks like. I glued a seed bead to the bottom of the pin so no one would poked them self.
