Cupcake's Creations: Declaration

Hi there! This week on the Pink Paislee blog, it's all about Shapes! I was assigned the timeless shape: STARS! Please be sure to visit the Pink Paislee blog for some awesome inspiration! click HERE

Stars are quite a versatile shape that may be used year round and for any occasion just like the NEWLY released Declaration collection. Shapes can add such interest to ANY sort of paper crafting project! I made several projects that will hopefully inspire you to create using STARS!

First up, is a layout featuring several star paper rosette embellishments using fun patterned paper from the Declaration collection.

To create the star shaped paper rosettes, I combined various sized Spellbinders Stars Five die templates along with Tim Holtz Rosette dies. I just love these fun embellishments! They add a lot of interest and dimension to my Father's Day layout!

Next up, is a dressed up jar of sweet treats with several star shaped paper rosettes adhered to skewers as well as a fun little tag:

This just screams ~ "Let's have some fun!"

Lastly, is an altered 3D metal star shaped piece of Patriotic home decor:

I cut a pattern then adhered various patterned papers from the Declaration line on the star, distressed it a bit with ink, covered it with a layer of Mica flakes then adhered a star shaped paper rosette to the front.

Stars are such a fun shape that may be used on ANY project, ANY time of the year just like the NEWLY released Declaration collection.

Thanks so much for visiting! I hope you enjoyed my projects as much as I enjoyed creating them and I hope I have inspired you to create something fun featuring a star or two!

Happy Memorial Day weekend to all who celebrate! Many thanks to all the men and women who have sacrificed their lives both past and present to protect the U.S.A. Do you have any fun plans? Scott and I are currently in San Diego for the long weekend. I taught my first card making class at Paper Tales today and met five lovely ladies who seemed to have as fun as I did :) I'm looking forward to meeting a few more ladies during tomorrow's class.

I made this card in celebration of Memorial Day using the newly released fun patterned paper from the Pink Paislee Declaration collection along with stamps from PTI that have never kissed an ink pad until now!

The Pink Paislee Declaration collection is a versatile collection full of a variety of patterns that may easily be used to create all sorts of themed projects!
