Let’s get started with the ideas:

I found my inspiration on Pinterest:

Here is a link to Brittany's blog post.

I started with my Gypsy.

I took this tie from Simply Charmed and sized it to 2.13 width x 6.00 height.

I unlocked the chain between the words Width and Height on my basic menu.  It is yellow when locked and white when unlocked.

In order to get two of each tie plus the top half at an angle, I arranged the ties two sets on each side.

Here are the ties cut out.

The second set I did with double sided paper.

I rearranged the ties on my mat and cut out this blue patterned paper....

and this green paper.

I opened another layer and used letters from Birthday Bash at 1.35 inches to put on the ties.

For the card, I used #1 dad sized to .88 inches.  You can see how I determined the size to fit the tie on my mat.

So my grand plan was to create a shadow for the letters.  Somehow I did not use the shadow feature, so I skipped the layer!!

This is what the tie looks like with the top at a 40% angle.

I also cut a shadow tie shape.  There is no shadow feature on Simply Charmed, so I had to create my own.  I sized the tie to 2.51 width x 6.59 height and cut them out of brown cardstock.

It is not exact but I was very happy with it!

Next I copied two ties onto a new layer.  I flipped one and welded it to the top of the second one.

Hint:  I flipped and welded BEFORE I rotated them.  The ends of the tie hung off the mat, but it was much easier to line up and weld properly!!

I cut out the tie card in the same brown cardstock as the shadow layer.

I scored and folded the card and adhered the tie on top.  I inked the ties with Vintage Photo ink.

 

I pop-dotted the letters on each tie and used twine to string the pieces together.

I had a lot of fun creating this banner and card!

Let’s get started with the ideas:

My cousin is getting married. I was 19 when she was born and she is only a couple of years older than my oldest son. We don't have a ton of things in common, but I am super excited for her!!!

I got my project idea from a local craft store called Mangelsen's. The sample had vinyl instead of paper but I could not find vinyl to match her blue color so I used paper instead.

I started with my Gypsy, Elegant Cake Art and Wedding.

The coaster set is wooden and sized at 4x4.  I sized my pieces to fit within a 4x4 square.

I selected:

 toasting glasses sized to 3.31 

double hearts (with the date to fit across the solid heart) sized to 2.86 and numbers sized to .54 

A & C sized to 1.39, 1.00 and 1.51

double rings sized to 3.00

I rotated the date -10.00 in order to size it to fit inside the heart.

I used blue and black card stock.  The wedding invitation is on the bottom right ~ you can see the blue in the flower.

I scrunched all of the pieces I wanted in blue to the top half of the mat.  I scrunched the date and toasting glasses to the bottom left quarter of the mat to cut them out in black.

Here are the cuts once I took off the extra paper.  I was not sure if I wanted the toasting glasses in blue or black so I cut out both!

Here is the coaster set I bought and the wide black ribbon I used.  I got the ribbon at Michaels.

I trimmed the negative piece from the initials to 4x4 and placed it over the tile.  I ran the letters through my Xyron to make them into stickers and placed the letters on the tile using the negative piece as a stencil.

I carefully peeled the template off and my letters are spaced perfectly!

I adhered the tiles to the ribbon using my ATG gun.

This will make a nice keepsake for Amy and Cameron.  If they want to use these as coasters, they can remove the ribbon and seal the coasters with Mod Podge or a spray sealer.

Mother's Day Card - Memories in Tyme Blog Hop

Welcome to the Memories in Tyme blog hops - where you will find some seriously talented people who love to share their ideas with you! Our hop today is anything relating to Mothers Day- doesn’t matter if it is a layout, card, mini album, or decorating item, if it’s about mom…it’ll be here!!! We all have one, and some of us even have 2 - or mom’s we wish we ours, or our friends’ mom’s who turn into ours… I have been lucky to have three amazing women in my life, all who have taught me one thing or another about being a mom! Let’s celebrate MOM’s here!!!

Now, if you just happened upon my blog, then please go back to the beginning which is at Lynda’s blog (http://memoriesintyme.blogspot.com/). Besides, the beginning is always the best anyway!!!

Let’s get started with the ideas -

I started with my Imagine and Kate's Kitchen. I made a Mother's Day card for my Step-Mom. She collects antique spice containers and I really love this "Sugar, Spice, and Everything Nice" image. I cut it out at 3 inches. The ice cream treats are for another project.

I inked the edges and pop dotted the image onto some blue cardstock.  I wrapped some twine around the cardstock and adhered it to the card I cut out of cardstock.

This is a very simple card for a very simple (and special) person in my life.  My parents were married for just shy of 25 years.  My dad and Karen got married 5 years after my mom died.  They spent 15 years together before my dad passed away.  It was a great comfort to me for my dad to have Karen in his life and I am grateful to have her for a step mom (even though I hate the way that sounds ~ she is NOT evil!!).  I was so happy to see this image on Kate's Kitchen as it is perfect for Karen!
