Duct Tape Flower Pen

        Hi everyone! I've resumed my crafting life with the duct taping system. It's actually become a big habit for me. However, my homework system  hasn't lately been the best, and staying up late for those art projects take me away for my blogging life. However, recently, during one of my everwasting after school hours, I was given the opportunity to make a flower pen. The steps are incredibly simple, and I roughly made one on my first try... /Here's a picture for your eye intrests:
 The truth of the mechanics are actually very simple. All you do is take the designs of duct tape you want, a pen, and a few minutes of your time.
         To begin, take 5 strips of 3" taape from each material. ( divide if you choose to use only on or two types of duct tape) Then, stick it on a flat non stick surface. Then, horizantily, flod each piece to form a triangle at the top. ( Similar to folding an air plane) Continue until you are done. Then wrap one of your smallest pieces around on your pen. Repeat this step. With a bigger piece, repeat this step again, however, this time, leave a little sace to stick your finger in to gve the illusion of a blooming rose.
          Thanks for reading, have a nice day and once again, pllease comment!

So adorable!

Words impower me!

Home sweet home!

 Love this design!!! Super cute, and blue can be used for almost anything!
 Repeated bird design and color is super cool and stylish on almost any homey theme!
 Ahhh! Hearts! Patterns are great on a plain face of any lightish color!
 LOVE THIS ONE! Black and white is just so practical! Great on almost all plain white faces with some blue flowers pinned on surface!
 Words! They are not quite legible, but are  really fun to use along with a bunch of different themes!
Lightish oceans... What a calming page!
All of these designs are super cool. A bit pricey, but perfect for the crafting girl! Can be found at WalMart and Michael's.

Offray Ribbon

OMG! I love ribbon. There's so much, so useful, and so fun! I use ribbon in almost all of my projects! This is MAINLY because of the cool reality effect it has on everything! Brown is a really vivid color, and goes great with almost everything. If it's too big, I sometimes fold it, but otherwise... It's perfect. Ribbon is also great for making bows, a perfect touch up to gifts, card, and hair accessories.




Same  goes for blue. Brown and blue really go together, and can make super cool flowers and patterns for anything! These sell at WalMart for about a $1 each.

HandMade Father's Day Card

"Father's day could never be as big, as a mini, hand made, hand cut, Google copied, hand drawn, Father's Day Card."
 I for one, agree.
This card was completely hand-made, the brown and blue paper was construction paper, while the multi-colored ribbon was hand-cut with paper from 5$ Bok ScrabBooks, and white, printing paper. The font was one I snapped of on www.scrapbook.com and copied at my desk from my camera phone. Yep, completely hand-drawn and cut. The way I cut it was really what surprised me. The font on my phone looked practically identical, although because of the thinness, the curve on the a  became slanted. I finally gathered to the courage to order a Silhouette, so that will no longer be a problem. I'll release a craft video on using it ASAP. For those not familiar with this device, it's a perfect cutting, printing paper friendly, non ink requiring machine that's 180$ with the advertised Promo Code on one of my posts. Crossing my fingers for it to come!!!!!!!
P.S Pretty much every Wed. and Fri. , I'll be posting, sometimes Mon. too, but depending on circumstances. A few of the first ones will be CRAFT VIDEOS...
