Tonya Trantham

Hi friends! Tonya here with a heart pocket decoration that is fitting for the month of February. Since February is the month of Love, I wanted to do something that I could keep out after Valentine’s Day is over and it be used as a wall decoration. So lets get started.

Here’s What You Need:

Chalk Paint Tattered Lace 60ml Little Birdie
Chalk Paint Pink Ballet 60ml Little Birdie
Ric Rac Ribbon 7mm Pink 2Mtr Little Birdie
Crochet Ribbon 2 cm White 2Mtr Little Birdie
OrganzaRibbon 3mtrs Pink General Craft
Spring Serenade Blooms 10pcs PBCI Holiday Elements
Buck Rose White 7pcs Color Your Own
Paper Trims Classic White 12pcs PBCI Little Birdie
Buttons Wedding 45pcs PBCI Little Birdie
Chipboard Hearts 6pcs PBCI Little Birdie
Christmas Chipboard Hanging Cherub 8pcs PBCI Holiday Elements
Thread
Patterned Cardstock
Sizzix XL Heart Pocket
Embossing Folder
Adhesive

Step 1

Gather your supplies.

Step 2

I cut from the Sizzix Heart Pocket diecut two heart and the pocket from patterned cardstock. The reason I cut two hearts out I wanted to make the back a little bit more sturdy. Also if you can’t find the diecut google heart patterns and print one off as a pattern in any size you want. All you have to do to create the pocket is cut one of the hearts in half. Once I adhered the heart and pocket together I added Ric Rac Ribbon around the back side of the heart.

Step 3

I cut a 12 inch piece of pink ribbon and adhered to the top of the heart to create a hanger. I threaded two white buttons and covered the ends of the ribbon. Next I painted both the heart and cherub chipboard pieces in Pink Ballet and Tattered Lace Chalk Paint. Once dry I embossed the heart to give it texture, lightly inked the edges along with the cherub. I cut two 3 inches pieces of each of the white lace and pink ric rac and tied off in the center.

Step 4

I cut a piece of white lace and adhered to the lip of the pocket. Next I cut a piece of white paper trim down and added to the lace. The trim is self adhesive so no worries on trying to be neat when applying adhesive.

Step 5

I adhered the heart on the corner of the pocket, folded the ric rac and lace in half and adhered next to the heart along with a pink flower, the white rose that I deconstructed (I only wanted to use the bud) and the cherub. I loosely added some bunched up thread for interest.

Step 6

I rolled the leftover white roses that I had deconstructed to create buds and adhered to the upper corner of the heart along with two pieces of white lace and one piece of pink ric rac and wadded up thread to finish off my heart pocket.

All that is needed now is more candy and a card and it is ready to be given as a gift and once empty it can be hung up as decoration.

Thanks for stopping by, hope your day is wonderful and enjoy creating!

Hi friends! Tonya here with a snowman snow globe I created! This pretty creation can be used as a Christmas decoration and be kept out even after you have taken down holiday decorations during the cold winter months.

Here’s What You’ll Need:

Chalk Paint Sailing Sky 60ml Little Birdie
Chalk Paint Tattered Lace 60ml Little Birdie
Chalk Paint French Rose 60ml Little Birdie
Crochet Ribbon 7mm Blue 2Mtr Little Birdie
Crochet Ribbon 2 cm White 2Mtr Little Birdie
Sparkling Dotties Vanilla 9gm Little Birdie
Spring Serenade Blooms 10 pcs PBCI Holiday Elements
SmoothFoam two 1 inch and one 1 1/2 inch balls
Gesso
Antique Mod Podge
1 inch of Jewelry Wire
Tart Pan
Portable Wine Glass Compact
2 Mini Black Gems
Carrot Nose
2 Twigs
4 inch piece of Batting
Extra Fine Glitter
Mini Bottle Brush Tree
Cardstock Holly Leaves

Step 1

I used a paper tart pan from a quiche I had purchased at Panera Bread. I cleaned throughly, applied two coats of gesso, painted one coat of Chalk Paint Sailing Sky and once dry applied a coat of Antique Mod Podge.

Step 2

Paint the 1 and 1 1/2 inch balls with Chalk Paint Tattered Lace. Once dry adhered carrot nose and two mini black gems to the 1 inch ball and add two dots of Chalk Paint French Rose to the snowman’s face to create rosy cheeks. Next take the 1 inch piece of jewelry wire and push into the body of the snowman and then push the head into the piece of wire. Before completely pushing the head and body together add a small amount of glue. Push together and hold until the adhesive has dried .

Step 3

Add a little adhesive to each twig before pushing into each side of the snowman’s body. Apply a coat of Antique Mod Podge to the whole snowman and sprinkle with extra fine glitter. Once dry tie a small piece of the Crochet Ribbon 7mm Blue 2Mtr Little Birdie around the neck of the snowman and glue to the base of the tart pan.

Step 4

Adhere the mini bottle bush tree to the base and tear a part the battering and glue around the snowman and the tree.

Step 5

Hollow out the 1 inch SmoothFoam ball so it will fit to the top of the portable wine glass. Paint the ball with Chalk Paint Sailing Sky and once dry apply a coat of Antique Mod Modge and cover in a coat of glitter. Adhere to the stem of the wine glass and sprinkle Sparkling Dotties into the glass.

Step 6

Apply a bead of adhesive to the rim of the glass, center the tart pan over the rim of the glass before firmly placing together. Cut a piece of Crochet Ribbon 2 cm White 2Mtr Little Birdie and tie underneath the ball to cover the rest of the wine glass stem.

Step 7

Adhere Crochet Ribbon 7mm Blue 2Mtr Little Birdie around the bottom of the glass.

Step 8

I used cardstock holly leaves from my stash and pink flower from the Spring Serenade Blooms 10 pcs PBCI Holiday Elements and glued to the side of the snow globe. I also add a bit of glitter to the petals and center of the flower to finish it off.
