Teresa Collins Design Team was thrilled to partner up with The Xyron Design Team for the first time - and the projects they've created are gorgeous! Every day this week we'll feature a project from one or two of our DT members using Xyron products along side Teresa Collins Products - I know you are just going to love the results!
First we wanted to share some inspiration from Rachel McAffee:
Tell Your Story Gift Bags!
Next we have a wonderful tutorial by Cheri Piles:
I am so excited to be able to participate in the Xyron Blog hop this week! I just LOVE my sticker maker, it is one of my favorite "GO TO" tools!
I made this great little pumpkin home decor piece for one of my shelves in my home office. I love to change things up with the seasons. I started with a 4x5 piece of canvas and painted it a Pearl White (I just love a little shine!) Then I added 3 3/4 x 4 3/4 piece of Pennants paper (back) and outlined it with Black ink.
I used the large oval frame from the Tell Your Story Stamp set to make the pumpkin, I stamped the frame onto the following papers: Damask (back), Frames (back) & Cards (back). Then I tore them all at the same time so my pieces would line up when I put them back together. I tried to tear them with a rounded shape to create a Pumpkin "feel". For the stem and the leaf I cut two of the shapes from the Pennant paper and trimmed the leaf until it had the shape I wanted. I then ran them through the sticker maker!
I really wanted to create more "texture" to the pumpkin so I added some crackle glaze and it created some bubbles and a little crackle in spots, just the look I was after! I used last months free download for the stamp maker and made the Autumn Splendor stamp for the bottom. I added the blue scalloped chipboard piece to the right and trimmed to size. Then I added the orange dots scallop borders to the top and left sides.
I hope you enjoy the blog hop this week and please come back to check out what the team has in store for you!

ReplyDeleteLeft some love on your FB page, and have to say the new pics are gorgeous. Teresa, what is your secret??
ReplyDeleteGorgeous projects as usual... I am always impressed with your papers and have been hunting all over the net to find all the old ones, can't get enough of them. They are without a doubt the best quality bar none. On top of that they are always incredibly beautiful, and look way better in person than online. Would love any prize from TC!
