Tutorial: Valentine Paperclip Flags

January 29, 2020January 29, 2020 craftybit

I love making different kind of smaller projects with my craft supplies, and these paperclip flags are perfect to use up those scrap pieces you have laying around that you just don’t wanna throw out.

Four Valentine Paperclip Flags — Four valentine paperclip flags made with lawn fawn pattern papers and stamps.

I recently started to really use my planner and take part of the planner community on social media. I found these kind of flags there but wanted to make them in my way, more like little notes than just decorative pieces for my planner. And while I was at it I made a little tutorial on how I make them.

For the theme, I knew I wanted to do valentine, I also knew that I wanted to dig out some of my lovely pattern papers that I haven’t used in a while. And as happened I have subscribed to the Lawn Fanatics email list and their launch email for the active challenge came into my box. The challenge is “For the birds”, so I dived into my stamp collection and ended up pulling out a whole bunch! I also picked out some valentiny paper packs and I started playing.

Large Valentine Paperclip Flag — Large valentine paperclip flags made with lawn fawn pattern papers and stamps.

The first flag is the larger of the one, it’s created on the 78 mm (3 1/8″) paperclip and the flag measures 2 1/2″ in width. The larger size made it possible to use a bigger sentiment. To ground the sentiment I used a couple of thin paper strips in different patterns, and then as a little pop I added a cute little bird.

Medium Valentine Paperclip Flag — Medium valentine paperclip flag made with lawn fawn pattern papers and stamps.

Next flag up is on a very colorful bright rainbow striped paper, so the sentiments and the image used is a little more block colored so they pop a little bit more. I again used some stripes of pattern paper to ground one of the sentiments. I tried finding papers that where less patterned but still had a little bit. It’s made for the 45 mm (1 11/16″) paperclip and the flag measures 1 3/8″ in width.

Small Valentine Paperclip Flag — Small valentine paperclip flag made with lawn fawn pattern papers and stamps.

The third flag is made on a tone on tone pattern paper which gave me the possibility to add a sentiment that is a little more busy. I hand cut around the sentiment to keep the movement in it. Then I added a little bird and some hearts that almost look like they are the notes from the bird singing. I added some glitter drops to the heart just because I wanted it to have that little extra. This flag is created for the smallest paperclip that measures 32 mm (1 5/16″) and the flag measures 1″ in width.

The last flag was just a little extra, I had found this little speech bubble with a heart in it and I just wanted to use it! So I stamped up another bird that could tweet it out and colored it to match. It’s also created on the smallest paperclip I had.

Hope you liked the flags and the tutorial. If you decide to use my tutorial I would love to see your creations!

Happy Mail and new oxide inks!

July 12, 2018February 11, 2019 craftybit

Hi everyone!

Today’s post is a little bit different, I’ve been laying sick for the past week with some kind of viral infection, to be honest I probably had it for months but I’m not good at resting and also my immune system isn’t what it’s supposed to be. But no more about that.

As I haven’t been crafting, I have done what many of us done when we can’t craft, I have shopped, the joy of online shopping! And my packages have just arrived! Let’s take them in the order they arrived, swedish postal service decided to hold my package hostage, I don’t mind paying taxes on what I order, but it took over 3 weeks to be transported from customs to me (which is about 40 min by car btw).

So the first to arrive was my Lawn Fawn order, Lawn Fawn had a great deal (think it was 15% off) so decided to splurge, there was so many stamps and dies I really wanted and also a pattern paper and some inks may have fallen into the shopping basket. You might not see all that I shopped in the photo, but I have linked everything below.

The second package that arrived today was the one that got stuck in customs, that might not be as exciting as the lawn fawn one, but I got some really needed supplies. I’m down to my last tape runner and a half, my stamps have gotten dirty and who doesn’t need some purple tape!

Also have you seen that Tim Holtz has released a new set of 12 Distress Oxides Ink! They will most definitely fall into my next shopping bag, how about you?

Flowers, floral and foliage | How to decorate a pillow box

June 30, 2018February 11, 2019 craftybit

Hi Everyone! Do I have something fun for you today! I love challenges, and I’m trying to get back to entering some, as it was a long time since. It was also way to long since I was using my Lawn Fawn stamps so decided to join the Lawn Fawnatics Challenge this week which is Flowers, Floral & Foliage.

As usually when starting out for any challenge I collect all my stamps set and dies that could suit the challenge, and doing that I saw my pillow box die and a plan started growing. Something I love doing is creating groupings of foliage in a corner and add flowers and other details to that group. So that is what I decided I wanted to do.

I started with some tone on tone stamping on the pillow box, this will make the background not so plain, but at the same time be so soft that it won’t compete with our details. I then stamped up loads and loads of foliage and detail stamps from multiple stamps sets, colored them all in with copic markers and cut them all out. When doing this kind of creations is when I miss not having the coordinating dies.

Then I layered all the different images and glued them down, and the box was finished. If you want to see in more details every set, watch the video below. Where you also find the real time coloring video where I go through the coloring. Also for all the pens and materials used, you find that detail underneath the videos as always. Happy Crafting!
