5 is Fabulous

Supplies:  Paper (Pebbles Inc.), Tranparency (Hambly), Flower (GCD Studios), Bee (My Little Bit of Whimsy), Felt (Creative Café), Chipboard (Maya Roads), Button (Epiphany Crafts), Letter Beads (Dollar Store), Brad (Bazzill), Gems (Zva Creative), Trim (Prima, Dollar Store), Cardstock (Coredinations), Doily (Little Yellow Bicycle)

Today is my first official project using Epiphany Crafts' shape tools and I could not be more pleased with the products. 

The tools are the next generation of punches as they punch the shape and mount it onto acrylic all at the same time.  Simply slide the paper into the tool, look through the view finder to line it up properly, drop the adhesive backed shape on top of paper, close the lid and punch.  In a few seconds, I have a custom acrylic shape to match whatever I'm working on.  How cool is that?

On this page, I used the button shape tool to create the heart you see on the number 5.

I also used my Marvy Uchida punches to create the flower detail on this page. I punched 5 large hearts and place them in a circle to form the petals. I topped it with two punched scallop shapes. To create the leaves, I punched more hearts and folded them in half and placed them along my hand cut stem.

Be sure to take a moment and check out all the different shapes and styles available at Epiphany Crafts and look for them at CHA next week at booth # 650.
