Hi friends! Have you been enjoying all of the creative ways to use the new Acrylic Words? They really are so versatile and definitely fun to use!
Today, I have two projects to share with you. Being a cardmaker, I of course used one of the Acrylic Words on a card! The second project is a sweet little gift bag, decorated with a sparkly Acrylic Word.
I love the pretty, scripty font of the new Acrylic Words! Some of them are fairly large, which are perfect for making the focal image on a card! For my card, I started by combining a couple of patterned papers from the IF Seeds of Faith Paper Pad. I wanted to soften the top heart paper a little bit so I rubbed some white pigment ink in the center of it. So that the fearless Acrylic Word (from the Fearless & Strong package) would really stand out I added a strip of black cardstock behind it. This also serves to create a visual border between the two patterns.
I wanted to add just a little bit of color to the fearless Acrylic Word, so I sponged on a some pink pigment ink along the bottom. To complete the sentiment, I added some Oreo Black Wonky Alpha Puffy Stickers. I decorated with several Seeds of Faith Paper Pieces and Puffy Stickers.
Supplies
IF Seeds of Faith: Paper Pad, Paper Pieces, Puffy Stickers;
Wonky Alpha Puffy Stickers: Oreo Black;
Acrylic Words: Fearless & Strong
My next project features another Acrylic Word, this time on a festive little gift bag! I found this cute polka dotted bag in my stash and though it would look great with the new Secrets of the Sea collection! I pulled together some Secrets of the Sea - Girl Paper Pieces and a piece of patterned paper. I adhered them all on the gift bag. I added a strip of coordinating High Tide Washi Tape along the top along with a big pink bow.
For embellishment, I added a blue Puffy Heart Sticker. I just love how easy and quick it is to create with all of the coordinating products available for each collection!
It's a bit hard to see in the photo, but I covered the happy Acrylic Word (from the Happy & Smile package) with fine, iridescent glitter. Here's a tip - use spray adhesive for a faster and more permanent bond. I simply sprayed the word with spray adhesive and then immediately sprinkled it with the glitter.
Supplies
Secrets of the Sea - Girl: 6 x 8 Paper Pad, Paper Pieces, High Tide Washi Tape;
Puffy Hearts Stickers: Blueberry Mix;
Acrylic Words: Happy & Smile
I'm so glad you joined me here today!
