Altered Wood Letter With Patterned Paper & Quilling

Altered Wood Letter With Patterned Paper & Quilling by Juliana Michaels for 3 Birds Design

I love creating home decor pieces, especially when I am making them as a gift for someone. Today, I'm sharing this altered wood letter that I made as a birthday gift for my niece. She loves anything pink and flowers, so I knew that decorating the letter with quilled flowers would make her happy! I created many of the quilled shapes on this project using the new 3 Birds Quill Ease Quilling Tool. For more details on how I created this piece, you can visit the 3 Birds Blog. If you are interested in purchasing the Quill Ease Quilling Tool you can find it on HSN.com. Also, if you have any questions about this tool or this project, leave me a comment below and I be happy to reply.

I also want to share with you that I am up on the 3 Birds Studio blog today with another Altered Wood Letter. This week we are sharing projects that we created using Xyron adhesives and 3 Birds Design products. Our friends at Xyron generously donated 9" Creative Stations and 3" Sticker Makers to each of the design team members. These are fabulous tools for turning just about anything into a sticker! For my project, I am sharing a tutorial on how I used the Xyron Creative Station to help me cover the wood letter with patterned paper. I created a letter "C" this time and it is going to be a birthday present for a new friend of mine. I sure hope she likes it!!! 

I'd love for you to stop by and visit the blog to see my tutorial. And while you are there, you can enter to WIN one of two awesome prize packages from Xyron and 3 Birds Design!

For my final layout to share for our blog hop, I used the new Bo Bunny collection Key Lime! I absolutely adore the bright and cheerful colors that are part of this collection!!! One look at the adorable paper covered with bicycles and I knew I had to scrap this photo of my parents on their new bikes!!!  The title for my layout came from a book title that I found on Amazon. (Just a reminder...the Bo Bunny Layout Challenge for May is to use a book title on your layout! wink! wink!!!)


I used the coordinating Key Lime Clear Stamps to stamp and emboss some Bo Bunny Double Dot and then added some machine stitching for even more texture.


I further embellished the layout using Key Lime Noteworthy die cuts and brads.


Of course, I used my Xyron Mega Runner and the Xyron Mini Sticker Maker once again. I used the Sticker Maker with a die cut from the Noteworthy again, but with a little twist this time.


I adhered a strip of scrap chipboard to the back side of the die cut to give it more dimension and/or thickness.


I then ran it through the Xyron Mini Sticker Maker...



and adhered my "thicker" sticker to my layout!

This layout uses the new Bo Bunny collection called Anthem! It is full of wonderfully patriotic colors and designs in the traditional red, white and blue that you would expect for the USA. However, did you know that there are over 24 different countries that have these colors on their flag? What I love about this collection though, is its versatility! It is not just for celebrating the 4th of July. In fact, I used it to scrapbook about a marching band contest that I enjoyed from a front row seat on the porch of my old house.


I embellished the layout with stickers, Noteworthy die cuts, chipboard stickers and jewels!




Of course, Xyron adhesives were used throughout and I even used the Xyron Mini Sticker Maker to turn some of the Noteworthy die cuts into stickers!  I simply placed the pieces into the Sticker Maker.


I then, pulled them through the machine...



and removed the top liner before I adhered them to my layout! It was so simple and easy to use!!!


Thanks for much for stopping by! Make sure you stop by Robbie Herring's blog for more inspiration as you continue along with the hop!!! And stay tuned for another day of inspiration and hopping tomorrow May 24!!!

Bo Bunny Xyron - Day 1

Welcome to the Bo Bunny Xyron Blog Swap!


Bo Bunny has teamed up with Xyron for a week of projects, inspiration and of course fun prize giveaways!!! The prize from Bo Bunny will be your choice of one of the new Bo Bunny Collections Kits including Anthem, Key Lime or Trail Mix. All you have to do is leave a comment at the bottom of any of my posts for the Bo Bunny Xyron Blog Hop (I will be having three days of inspiration on my blog!) by Friday May 24 at midnight EST for your chance to win!!!


 Now, make sure you also check out these other blogs for more inspiration and giveaways:

With Mother's Day just recently behind us, I thought I would scrap a photo of me and Mom. This is from her birthday in January and one of the last times I saw her before we moved. I was inspired to create this layout using the C'est La Vie collection after I took a look at all of the stickers that were included in this collection. It seemed like each sticker has a saying on it that was either something my Mom said to me or was very similar.  For some of the stickers I attached them to scrap chipboard or paper and then trimmed around them. I like to do this because it lets me play around with where I want to place them before I have to commit to their location. I can then go back when I am ready and add adhesive. That is where the Xyron Mega Runner comes in handy. Just a pass of the Runner and it's ready to attach to your layout!


I also added layers of other stickers, flowers and Noteworthy!


 

To create the banner grouping at the top of my layout I used the Xyron Mega Runner. I cut a scrap of paper from the bar code strip.


I made a pass along it with the Mega Runner.


Then I began attaching the various banners pieces to it. Some of them are Noteworthy die cuts. The large green one is a sticker however I attached it to a scrap of paper and trimmed around it to un-stick it while I was working on my design.


This is the back side of the banner piece...


and this is how it looks from the front.


Thanks for stopping by and make sure you hop on over to Sarah's blog for more inspiration and giveaways!!! And stay tuned for another day of inspiration, hopping and prizes on Thursday May 23!!!
