Xyron & Epiphany Crafts Team Up

Good morning everyone!!  Today i'm super excited to share with you a project created with some yummy goodies.  The fabulous peeps at Epiphany Crafts shared some of their amazing products with the Xyron DT.....so this week we are sharing our creations.

I opened the box and was super excited to see the Oval 25 punch, Bubbles & Metal Settings....total SCORE!  So I will show you what my end result is and then share a couple of close up photos for you.

To start this creation I took a Ranger Manila tag #8 and cut a piece of pattern paper to size.  I used Graphic 45 Bird Song for this one.  Once the paper was cut I adhered the pattern paper to my tag using my Xyron Mega Runner.  I then inked the edges with Ranger Distress Ink (Walnut Stain).  I also did a little fussy cutting the birds & branches out of the pattern paper and inked the edges of those as well.

So as you can see there is a little chicken wire stencil action in the background of the tag.  I did that with Wendy Vecchi embossing paste and let it dry before I placed anything else on the tag.  I stained some seam binding and tied that around the bottom of the tag.  The flowers are Petaloo flowers dipped in beeswax.  While I was letting those dry, I took that fabulous looking Epiphany Oval Metal Setting and painted it with gesso to turn it white....LOVE LOVE LOVE the way that turned out.  I had a stamp that said "dream", so I stamped that on paper, centered it in the punch and punched it out.  I ran the stamped word through my Xyron 1.5" create-a-sticker and placed it on the setting, then placed the bubble cap over it.  I popped up the images that I cut out on the tag, then adhered the flowers on the lower left side.  I used the UBER FABULOUS new tape from Xyron High Tack Tape and it made that metal setting stick with ease!

Here is a little close up of the top of the tag.  You can see the images that I cut out of the paper really well here.  I had a couple of corners in my stash that I painted with gesso and adhered them on the top corners of the tag.

Supplies Used:
Xyron Adhesive- Mega Runner, High Tack Tape & 1.5" create-a-sticker
Epiphany Crafts - Oval 25 punch, bubbles & metal settings
Graphic 45 - Bird Song paper
Ranger - Distress Ink (walnut stain), gesso, manila tag #8

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  Make sure you hop on over to Beth's blog and check out what the rest of the Xyron DT will be creating all week.
