Simple Stories Dream Big Ferris Wheel

Hi friends and happy Sunday! I'm up over at the Simple Stories Blog today sharing my latest altered project using the Dream Big collection! This magical collection is brimming with adorable images and sentiments that bring me back to childhood. I love the rainbows and fairies, the unicorns and roller skates--oh my! So much dreamy goodness, just imagine the possibilities! Come along and take a ride on my Dream Big Ferris Wheel!

First, all pieces were painted white around the edges and then covered with patterned papers from the Dream Big Collection Kit. After adhering all papers down and allowing to dry, all edges were sanded gently.

After putting together all pieces and building of the ferris wheel, it's now time to decorate the front! I love how the DREAM lettering from 6x12 Chipboard draws attention and makes one want to fly with fairies! A magical unicorn ticket-taker greets all guests and sprinkles a bit of fairy dust upon them before seating!

The Dream Big ferris wheel brings together all kinds of friends! Mermaids, kitty's, fairies, cupcake sweeties and unicorn-ice cream cone wannabes alike! Everyone loves to ride on the Dream Big Ferris Wheel! Make a wish while riding and it might even come true!

Thanks so much for visiting today! I hope you enjoyed my project and feel inspired to create something magical with the awesome Dream Big collection too! Until next time, dream BIG and happy crafting!

DIY Embossed Planner Accents

Hi friends! Today I'm sharing my latest Craftwell inspiration with you here and over at the Craftwell blog! I've been playing around with the Teresa Collin's Love Triangles Embossing Folder, running different materials other than cardstock through the Cut'n'Boss machine to see how they look. I found something I liked by upcycling a piece of clear plastic and adding it to my July Summer-themed planner spread. I love finding new and fun things to included in my planner pages to make them more interesting. This one really hit the spot! Check it out...

Can you spot where I added the clear plastic triangles? It's always fun to put a clear dashboard of some kind in front of a colorful focal point for extra layering interest and texture. The Love Triangles Embossing Folder is right on trend and coordinates perfectly with all the different triangle accents on my Simple Stories Hello Summer papers and die cuts.

I also added a bit of black Stazon ink across the tops of the triangles on a smaller piece opposite the main side, creating contrast and even more interest.

Finally, I added a small scrap piece of the clear embossed triangles over the flamingo tag in the pocket. 

Who's ready to hit the beach?! I sure am! Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you've been inspired to find some scrap materials around your house and transform them into one-of-a-kind planner embellishments with the Cut'n'Boss too! Until next time, happy crafting!
