Thanks Card
Use leftover buttons to create frames for the Round 14 tool to nestle perfectly into.
I love the dimension and warmth of the wooden buttons from SEI. The buttons set off the epoxies nicely.
Thanks for stopping by!

New Ways to Use Buttons + Epiphany Crafts
Hey there everyone! Back again with another way to use your Round 14 tool and something you may have a lot of just lying around-BUTTONS!
Epiphany Crafts + Gift Wrap Trim
Hey there everyone! Today I am going to share with you a fun gift wrap trim idea that you can make with your Round 14 tool to add a fresh shabby feel to any gift you give this holiday season.
Gift Wrap Trim
This technique is so unbelievably simple.
2. Feed the circles into your sewing machine with the presser foot down.
3. After you stitch a circle, let the needle pass through the hole about four times, and then feed the next punched circle!
Wrap around a gift item several times using as a decorative trim.

A Fall Invite+S.E.I.
Hey there everyone! I am so excited. Today is my first post over at the SEI blog, I am so thrilled to be a part of this team, designing with such amazing women and such wonderfully creative and inspirational product. Today I am going to share with you a Thanksgiving invite using the new Homestead line that is super easy to make, and will impress your guests way before you put the turkey on the table.
Thanksgiving Invite
Don't just decorate a piece of paper invite, go beyond the simplicity! Try something new- Design an open-enveloped sleeve, slip the invite inside and hand deliver to your recipients to make them feel more welcome at your holiday gathering.
Layered elements add dimension. To make them stand out, especially the fabulous embossed leaves, ink them with chalk to bring out the raised areas.
Sometimes simple is more--white paper and vellum can make even the simplest rub on or strip of patterned paper pop!
Check out all the fabulous fall inspiration showcasing this month from the new design at the blog!

I have TERRIFIC news to share. A couple weeks ago I was at work on a wee break, and was checking my email.

Andrew + Crate Paper
Hey there everyone! I wanted to share a GORGEOUS card that my very artistic nephew made last weekend!! He saw my craft room, and asked me, "What are we going to create today?" I thought to myself, "Dearness me, he is ADORABLE!" So, I pulled out Toy Box from Crate and let him choose some ribbon, buttons and embellishments. With a little help gluing and cutting, Andrew made this adorable card which he told me he would proudly keep in his room at home!

It's really easy to make this invitation. Trim some "Haunted" paper from the Phantom collection by Pink Paislee. Fold into a gatefold, trim envelope edges and attach a Vintage setting
Trim some "Obscure" paper from the collection, stitch the top, stamp the Skull image with Clearsnap watermark ink, emboss with clear powder and ink over for a fun resist!
You can print your own info on the inside card to customize this invitation.
I hope this inspired you to think about fun halloween ideas for your upcoming party! Make sure to stop by the Epiphany Crafts blog to see new projects all week!
