Holiday Vintage Paper Cones

Hi Friends! I'm super excited to share my project with you today. I was lucky enough to participate in one of the May Arts challenges again (Thank You Bethney) and once I saw the ribbons we would get to play with, I knew right away what I wanted to submit as my project idea.

I also have a couple of videos, one shows you the cones up close and the second shows you the goodies I used to create these paper cones (look below for additional photos)......

More photos......

I already have these displayed in my house mixed in with my holiday décor and I LOVE them!!

Be sure to check out the full post over on the May Arts blog and see the projects created by the other participants for this challenge.

Happy Holidays and Happy Crafting!!

May Arts Ribbon DT Call 2013

Hi Friends! Boy do I have an exciting post for all of you today. I have been waiting since last year for the May Arts DT Call to come around and it's here...squeal!! Be prepared for lots of photos..this is your warning lol : )

I have 5 projects to share with you today, two I created specifically for this DT Call and the other three you have seen on my blog within the past few months. Here's a photo of all the projects I'm sharing with you today...if you look real close you'll see my baby girl Bella sunbathing : )

Per the DT Call guidelines I do have a tutorial for you in the form of a video. I share with with you how I created the flowers I made using some May Arts trim for my CREATE banner. I also have a short video that shows you each of the projects up close. I wanted to focus more on the photos in this post so in the video I walk you through each of the projects and explain my use of ribbon for each one :)

I want to share with you a project that has been in my mind for a very long time. In addition to crafting, I love to bake and decorate cakes so I thought why not transfer this into paper crafting..so I did...(watch for a surprise with the cake)

I made this topsy turvy cake from scratch using nothing but some 12x12 corrugated card stock (I designed the template for this & cut it out by hand), ribbons/trims, flowers and some bling. I LOVE how this turned out : )

Ready for the surprise???

There's a mini inside : )

For my next project I made a CREATE banner for my craft room...

 I'm so pleased with how this banner turned out and I can't wait to hang it in my craft room. 

Next up are some projects that I have featured on my blog before but wanted to share them with you for this DT call and I really feel they show some creative ways to use ribbon...

Grunge Chic Paper Cones...

 Shabby Topiary...

I Like Your Style Dress Form Card...

One last look at all of my projects...

I hope you enjoyed my list of projects that I'm sharing with you today. I know there were a ton of photos and I appreciate you sticking with me : )

I have to say that my favorite project is the topsy turvy cake and mini. I absolutely LOVE how this turned out. I've had this idea in my mind for quite some time so what better time to bring it to life than for the May Arts DT Call : )

To Bethney the Ribbon Lady....THANK YOU so much for taking the time to review my projects and videos. I had an absolute blast creating these projects for your DT Call, especially the cake.

Happy Craftin : )

 

Scor-pal and May Arts DT Blog Hop-Chic Grunge Paper Cones

Hi Friends! Abby here with ScrappinAbby .Wow am I excited for today's post. We the DT a Scor-pal have teamed up with May Arts and their amazing DT for a super fun two day blog hop!! You should have just come from Jen's blog...if not click on her name so you can start from the beginning : )

For my tutorial I made some Chic Grunge paper cones....

 To create these Chic Grunge paper cones I used:
Scor-pal
Scor-tape
May Arts Ribbons-Trims & Laces

To create the paper cones, I cut the card stock I wanted to use for each cone into 8 1/2 x 8 1/2 pieces...

I used some sprays & mists on my card stock which is why it's curled up a bit. 

Next I placed the card stock on my Scor-pal on the diagonal and made a score mark down the center....

Then I measured 4" on each side of that score mark and drew a line using a pencil. This step creates the "flap" for your pocket front. 

Place the card stock back on your Scor-pal and score on your pencil-marked line.

Now it's time to create the score marks for the sides of the paper cone. Placing your card stock on your Scor-pal, you're going to score from the top right edge of your flap to the bottom point of your paper. You'll do this on each side of your initial score line. 

Fold along your score lines once you're done...

I wanted to cover the white flap so I adhered some Scor-tape to the flap and put a piece of the card stock I trimmed off earlier over the top and use my craft knife to cut away the excess.

I used more Scor-tape to close the flaps to create the paper cone...

The next few photos show you how I used the Scor-tape to embelish the paper cones using the May Arts ribbons & trims...

And now some photos of the completed Chic Grunge paper cones...

I hope I've been able to show you some fun & new ways to use your Scor-pal for projects using the yummy ribbons & trims from May Arts. 

Now here's the lineup for the rest of the hop just in case you get lost along the way...your next stop is going to be with Jenifer
