Decorate Your Cupcake!

Hey all!  Ryann here with some ways to snazzy up the Bubble Frame Kits.  I recently received the Cupcake Bubble Frame Kit and thought it was really cute!  How fun would it be to use as place cards at a birthday party labeling out the different goodies on the treat table!  So fun!!

For my project today, I assembled the Cupcake Bubble Frame Kit as directed, except for the frosting bits.  Instead of placing a picture in the the frame, I opted for a Happy Birthday sentiment instead.  It was easy to stamp the sentiment and then place into the frame.  After I had assembled the Cupcake Bubble Frame Kit I decorated it!

I started by painting the frosting a light pink using acrylic paint.  It took two coats to get good coverage.  After the paint was dry, I popped up the frosting pieces using the dimensional adhesive provided in the Cupcake Bubble Frame Kit.  You can see from my picture above the dimension in this project!  

Once the frosting was assembled and adhered down, I applied a thin layer of Glastique for some added shine.  And then once the Glastique was dry I generously applied some bling!!

I love the way this turned out!  It would be a great addition to any birthday party table you create!  I plan on using my dazzling cupcake as a tag for a birthday present.  How fun would that be?!!

Thanks for joining me today!  I hope this project has inspired you to get out your Bubble Frame Kits and have some fun!  :)

Hello and happy Thursday!  Ryann here with a simple tutorial on how to turn your Piccolo Chipboard Charms into a bookmark with only a few simple steps!  I love to read and was in need of a new bookmark.

2.  Thread ribbon through top of Piccolo Chipboard Charm and apply fabric glue to end of ribbon. 

3. Fold glued end to attach to length of ribbon and allow to dry.

Cranberry Wine Piccolo Thank You Card

Hi all!  Ryann Salamon here with a simple thank you card - easy enough for beginners to create and fun enough for the pro card makers out there!

After you remove the little flowers and flourishes from the chipboard frames they come in, make sure you save the negative pieces to use on a different project!  I painted the flourishes from the Piccolo Card Decor Set #7 and set them aside to dry.  I used the Embossing Powder Adhesive to adhere the Cranberry Wine Powder to the flower Piccolo pieces.  After heat setting with a heat gun, they are ready to go!

Here are a couple close-ups of the chipboard pieces using the Piccolo Card Decor set #7 and Cranberry Wine Powder.

Supplies used:

• Piccolo Card Decor Set #7
• Cranberry Wine mixed media enamel powder
• 
  
• Embossing Powder Adhesive
• cardstock
• stamps
• ink
• patterned paper
• pearls
• circle die
• scallop border punch

Introducing Ryann!

We're so excited to welcome Ryann Salamon to the Globecraft Memories Design Team!!!!

Hello!  My name is Ryann (pronounced like Ryan) and I live in sunny San Diego, California with my husband of five years and 2 cats, Parker and Posey.  I started papercrafting over four years ago and just recently started teaching classes.  I've been on a few design teams over the years and am regularly published in papercrafting magazines.

Creative Outlook:   I am primarily a Clean and Simple (CAS) card maker but will play around with other types of projects from time to time.  I find myself drawn to simple patterns, bright colors and I love "white space".  When creating I make a point not to fill the entire canvas with product and try to achieve maximum effect with minimal product.
