Hey Y'all, I wanted to share my barrel with you from Wildflower Saloon SVG Kit svgcuts.com. Yes I am still making things from this kit. I really loved this kit and it has lent a lot to my creativity. I tried to make the barrel at the size it imports and found that since I used the extra panels to emboss on I had great difficulty getting the "rings" to fit around the barrel. It really wasn't turning out as I had envisioned. I did try to save it by inking it to be more as I had in my mind but I still didn't like it and so it went into the trash. I have a plan to make this for my best friends husband but I will have to make the rings slightly longer or not use the panels. I was not deterred and tried again to make it cutting the size of it for my craft room to 70%. I should say that I am still learning to use my eclips 2 and so anytime I can learn something new with the program I am all for it. It is much easier to learn things with the sizzix eclips group on Facebook. They are a very helpful group and don't mind my multiple questions. I even had someone say they were glad I got an eclips. Anyhoo, Deb Maurer said she had reduced the size of the quilt box to 60 % so I asked how do you do that.. and they told me. My rings for my barrel at 70% still don't fit around it easily. I am not sure if this was not compensated for but if it wasn't I am sure it was an oversight of Mary's. Update: I wrote her and asked. It turns out she forgot to delete those panels as she realized the rings would have to be adjusted... opps.. Oh dear when haven't things like that happened to us.. Glad to know I am not crazy lol. on to my barrel I had ordered the adrienneloomandesigns Country Girl Digital Paper pack from Snap Click Supply this past Wednesday when it was 1.00. IE Dollar Wednesdays at Snap Click Supply. I loved the prints in it and when I decided to try again I made my barrel 70 % instead of 100% of the size and printed this lovely yellow paper onto a vanilla American Craft Card Stock. The print turned out sooo pretty and I could hardly wait to use it on my barrel. I cut the base using Vanilla AC cardstock and then glued the panels into place. I did used the included rings I had for the rings of my barrel. I have made another set of rings by duplicating them and just making them a tad longer for future use. I like using panels and so I didn't want to just delete them. Follow Mary's tutorial to put the barrel together. I have trouble sometimes with my glue drying not quickly enough if the room is cold or humid so I go a little slower than Mary stopping her when I need to "catch up". I feel the long brads are needed to hold the rings in place a little better. I did use the shorter ones for this little barrel but there are a few longer ones there as well. I added a little rose ink on the edges of my rings to bring the colors of the paper a bit more into the whole design. The smaller size means I have a bit more room to display my creations and it makes me think of a barrel full of monkeys game we used to play when I was a kid. Anyway that is my barrel and I hope you like it. I love the soft colors and girly look and know it will fit right into my room. Some of you saw the girly rustic lantern I designed for my friend's craft room, is she loved it. I hoped she would. Such a wonderful thing to share your creations with someone you love. Thank you for stopping by and reading my blog and Happy Crafting Y'all!!!

⭐️Stardog Puzzle Purse!💫 by e.k.mosley (Letter or Valentine) Origami This was my first time making a puzzle purse and I had so much fun painting each little picture on all the hidden folds. These beautiful little paper creations can be dated back to Japanese paper folding techniques called tatogami and origami from Japan’s Heian era (782-1185 CE). In Japan they were called Tato and used to hold small objects like buttons, stamps, needles, thread and other small bits and bobs. But when they started coming over to the west, people began drawing pictures on them and using them to write secret messages and love letters. The Victorian’s called them Puzzle Purses and were particularly fond of gifting them on Valentine’s Day. Today puzzle purses remain a fun way to send a magical letter to friends, family and loved one all year round, for all sorts of holidays and special occasions. I hope you enjoy folding your own Stardog Puzzle Purse to keep little treasures in. • Photos are of the original handprinted puzzle purse and the front and back of the digital files • Format - pdf download (and jpgs of front and back) • Pdf can be printed as many times as you wish and on any paper you like. It will print and fold well on standard printer paper but can also be printed on to heavier art papers (250gsm-300gsm) • Print either double sided or as two sheets and stick back to back. • To fold please look up instructions on how to fold a victorian puzzle purse.
