We're heading towards the end of our week with Little Yellow Bicycle, but the Xyron Design Team sure isn't at the end of their creativity! Today is all about versatility - the Acorn Hollow collection isn't just for Fall!
This card from Ann Corbiere-Scott makes me what? HAPPY!!!!! What a fabulous "thinking of you" or "happy birthday" card - getting this in the mail would make my day! Head on over to Ann's blog today for a quick tutorial on making an accordion card that is COVERED in flowers - gorgeous!
I love a cute mini album - and Van Nguyen's Family album totally fits the bill! The LYB embellishments make it so easy to put together quick, coordinating pages - on Van's blog today she shares each page of her mini album with you. What a lovely gift this would be for someone special!

LOVE the rosette card, but I have a terrible time getting my rosettes to stay stuck! Is there a secret to making the behave?
ReplyDeleteGREAT question Sheri! I asked the DT for their thoughts, and we all sort of came to the same conclusion! :) Once you adhere the ends together use a thicker adhesive (like thick glue dots or foam tape) on the back of the rosette to hold it in place.
DeleteHey Beth I want to know how to make the rosettes. I thought I knew but I guess I don't because I can't get mine to come out like these.
DeleteThere are a few different ways you can make them - Cricut has a cartridge that cuts them out for you and you just fold: http://www.cricut.com/shopping/detail--Cricut-Ribbons--Rosettes-Cartridge-0-1495.aspx and Sizzix has a die cut that also makes them: http://www.sizzix.com/product/656931/sizzix-sizzlits-decorative-strip-die-paper-rosette and then some companies (like LYB) sell them already cut and you just fold them up in to a little accordion and shape them in to a circle. I'm sure there is a way to make them completely by hand - but I sure as heck don't know how! ;)
DeleteAh, that's good to know about the thicker adhesive. I'll give that a try! I love the rosette cuts on the Cricut Artiste cartridge but was frustrated with them not staying put and just gave up on them. Can't wait to try more now! :)
DeleteGorgeous projects with this line,
