DIY Modern Art Using The Silhouette.

DIY
So when it comes to art in your home, are you a creative person decorate? Well for me it is quick and simple – minimalistic in some ways but always classic and timeless. The Silhouette offers me the necessary help when it comes to getting the job done! For this project I used my Silhouette CAMEO to cut some modern shapes out of smooth white cardstock and then added some colour with my much loved Tsukineko All-Purpose Inks. I love how this project turned out.

DIY Party Lemonade Cups – Come On Summer!

DIY
In preparation for the summer months I am making some cute drinking cups for family get-togethers and a braai or two with friends – and these just happen to be perfect for a hot and balmy summer’s evening. Plastic cups can be so boring but with a little craftiness and a few gorgeous summery patterned papers you can create fun and fabulous pieces.
What I did… Purchased some plastic cups with lids from our local plastic shop and decorated them using Lady Pattern Paper. I also found some fun matching paper straws to support my summer theme.
***
Step 1 Punch various sized circles from your selected Lady Pattern Paper.
















Step 2 - Punch a small hole in the circle for the top of your lids that the straws will go through.









Step 3 - Print some circles with a fun summer theme and punch layering circles out of Lady Pattern Paper and plain cardstock. 











Step 4 - Adhere the circles together in a layered fashion and then adhere them to the front of the plastic cups for a fun and festive look.

















These festively decorated cups are perfect for kid’s parties, informal get-togethers and the family braai. Decorate them with different colours and themes.
The Lady Pattern Paper, Basic Essentials, Script, Pink Mary is perfect for these lemonade water cups – it truly makes me want to drink more water – the perfect healthy summer alternative. 


And these DIY party lemonade cups will make me the ever so fun summer hostess!

Wedding favours - DIY giftboxes with Lady Pattern Paper.

DIY
You know when you look at a piece of paper and just know it will be perfect for something really special? Well the other day I was asked to make some samples for a wedding favour box – something different that could be used for a small gift, confetti or a little chocolate and this is what I came up with. These little folded pockets can be used for anything and with the Lady Pattern Paper they are perfect for a classic wedding.



















Beautiful, elegant and soft.
Step 1 - For this size pocket/favour box I cut my patterned paper down to measure 9x9inches. I used a selection of the Antique White Lady Pattern Paper. The bigger the paper size, the bigger your pocket will be. 
 Step 2 - Fold your square paper in half to form a triangle. Use your bone folder to fold the paper neatly.
step 3 - Wth the straight edge at the bottom, align it on a line of your cutting matt. Then fold the bottom right hand corner upwards the left edge. Keep the line straight so that the top edge is parallel with the bottom fold.
step 4-  Fold the left bottom edge upwards to meet the right point. You are still keeping the edge straight.
 step 5 - Fold the top flap down and burnish the edge to keep it down. Secure the folded pieces in place with a small hole and an eyelet, flowers, ribbon and diamanté.
Finish off your pockets with some wood wool inside or tissue paper. Now you are ready to add a small gift, chocolates or some confetti for your special day. 

Let Lady Pattern Paper add a beautiful and elegant touch to your wedding day or next big celebration.
