3 Birds Studio and Xyron!

At 3 Birds Studio, we have been hopping and sharing with Xyron all week!  What a great swap with great products!

If you haven't yet, be sure to go to the 3 Birds Blog to see how I used the Xyron Creative Station to make this little album!  I have included step by step instructions on the 3 Birds blog.

My blog post today is all about the embellishing!

As you can see there is a lot of dimension to this little album.  I honestly love adding all the details and the added dimension just adds more interest to me, which is a good thing in my book!

After finishing the cover and adding the bow, the first thing I added was a little chipboard piece that I turned into a charm to hang from the ring.  I glued a tiny punched flower to it to make it coordinate with the cover and the inside pages.

When using one ring, you can choose the way your mini album will open.  For this one, I chose to have it open vertically.

I love all the little glittery pieces that are included in the 3D sticker set and the chipboard set.  So, naturally, some of those pieces had to make it into my album.  

I added a few punched flowers and leaves to the little roses and these pages were complete.  

Ok, since I hardly ever get a picture that does the glitter justice and today I did, I had to include a close-up!!  :)  Notice that the sticker is raised?  These already have foam on the back which makes layering easy!

For these pages, I went with some more of the glittery piece, punches and another 3D embellishment.  The black circle on the top page was cut from one of the papers.  There are lots of fussy cutting options in the paper pads!

Another glitter close-up!  I was on a roll!  BUT... what I really want you to see is that little camera!  How cute, right?  There are all kinds of little shaker boxes included in the 3D embellishment collection!

The last pages combine several of the same elements that are shown on the cover and the first pages.  One last thing that I want to share with you is that I used things from both the Graceful Seasons and Midday Medley Collections.  Each collection stands alone to make beautiful projects, but also has so many coordinating elements, too!

Now...  For you...  I have some really good news!

Did you know that you can win some great products from both 3 Birds Studio and from Xyron?  

Well, you can!

Head over to the 3 Birds Blog for all the details!  

Also, don't forget to stop in at Xyron to see what their team has been up to using the 3 Birds Collection!

Finally, if you missed us on HSN yesterday, not to worry!  You can still purchase 3 Birds Products on the HSN website!

Little Yellow Bicycle-May Arts-Xyron

A match made in heaven!  Being a self-confessed ribbon addict, I can't express how much I love this swap!  Terrific adhesives that are terrific for attaching, not only paper and embellishments, but ribbon too, make it pretty much PERFECT!

I came up with this layout using Little Yellow Bicycle's Poppy Collection. 

It's such a cute collection and just perfect for spring and summer pictures!

Sunshine

The little gardening elements are so cute and went so well with this adorable picture of Laynee in the garden picking tomatoes.

Using Xyron's Create a Sticker products is the best way I've found for attaching ribbon.  I love that even May Art's scalloped and wider ribbons can be put through the machines and work perfectly!  I used the X (1 1/2") and the Create a Sticker 2 1/2" machines for this layout.

Take a peek at the bow!  I love these double sided ribbons from May Arts!  I purposely tied the bow to feature both sides.  Did I say that I LOVE these ribbons? 

I used the Xyron Mega Runner to attach other things on my page.  It is a STRONG adhesive and it works so well when you need to attach pieces that are a bit heavier.  I used it to attach the burlap circles which are heavier than paper.

Now...

For the BEST PART!

All 3 of these fabulous manufacturers are giving away prizes this week!

Bo Bunny and Xyron, Again!

 

It's another day with Bo Bunny and Xyron! 

 

Today, I'm sharing a layout that I made using the new Anthem Collection.  Although, this collection has lots of Red, White and Blue, it can be used for so much more that American and 4th of July pages. 

 

Best Friends

 

This is my daughter and her best friend.  They have been friends since they were little girls.  Although they went to different colleges, they have always kept in touch and still get together.  In fact, they spent last weekend here at my house!  It's always a treat to have the girls here!

 

 

You can see that my page is not what you might typically expect from the Anthem Collection.  In fact, I LOVE it for the colors and the patterns that are so versatile! 

 

The Xyron Mega Runner is perfect for putting a page together quickly and easily!  I even used it to attach the trinket and it's holding!

 

 

I wanted to do something a little different with the banner pieces that are included in the 12x12 Chipboard.  I chose to make them diamonds to give my page a hint of the harlequin effect.  I popped a brad in the center for more detail.

 

 

Don't forget that Bo Bunny makes beautiful Blossoms now!  These are so pretty! 

I also used the Xyron Mega Runner to attach the Noteworthy pieces and the leaves.

 

Now, don't forget the best part for you!

Bo Bunny and Xyron Swap

 

Bo Bunny has teamed up with Xyron this week for a swap.  I love when we do swaps and get the chance to work with other great products!  Xyron is one of my long-time favorites.  The X Create a Sticker is one of the first adhesives that I purchased when I started scrapbooking.

 

 

This is the layout that I came up with.  I used the brand new Key Lime Collection from Bo Bunny. 

 

Summer

 

 

Attaching ribbon is a snap when you use the Xyron X Create a Sticker  .  It is 1 1/2" wide and turns your ribbon into instant stickers.  It is also terrific or attaching die-cut letters and other small things.

 

 

I added lots of Bo Bunny ribbons.  The double dot ribbons come in so many great colors and two different sizes.  I mixed in a couple of pieces of chipboard and a sticker border, too. 

Tip:  When you are using the X Create a Sticker to turn your ribbon into stickers, you can get more mileage from your sticker maker by pulling a couple of pieces of ribbon at the same time.  The ribbons that I used are 7/8" and 3/8" so pulling through 2 at a time is easy.

 

 

I also love the Mega Runner from Xyron!  It is so easy to use and it really sticks!!  Have to love adhesive that doesn't have your pieces floating around in  your scrapbook!

 

Now, for the fun part for you! 

Both Bo Bunny and Xyron are having Give-Aways this week!  And... I get to give away a prize, too!   And... both Juliana and Sarah are giving away a prize, too!  LOTS of ways to win this week!

Little Yellow Bicycle and Xyron Blog Hop

We are so excited to share our projects created with Little Yellow Bicycle’s Acorn Hollow Collection and Xyron Adhesive.

...

 

If you haven't tried Xyron adhesives, you are missing out!  They are not only easy to use, they are terrific for putting your paper and embellishments in place... and KEEPING them there!

 

Here is a layout that I made with both Little Yellow Bicycle Acorn Hollow Collection and Xyron adhesives.

 

This fall collection is absolutely adorable!  It is perfect for all of your fall projects!  Both the Biker Chicks and the Xyron team have been working with it all week!  Be sure, after the hop, to take a peek at all the other ideas on each of the LYB Blog and Xyron Blog!

 

 

The Xyron Create a Sticker Machine is terrific for adding adhesive to the LYB Clear Cut Shapes.  You can see by this close-up how great a job it does both adhering the Clear Cuts to the page and staying clear behind them! 

I used the 2 /12 inch Create a Sticker Machine for this one, but there are different sizes to fit your needs.  I am addicted to the Xyron X (1 1/2") for adhering letters and small bits and pieces.  It is also the BEST way to add strips of ribbon to your pages!

 

 

Don't forget the Xyron Glue Sticks!  They are a great way to adhere the paper flowers or chipboard to your pages, too!
