The inspiration for today’s Celebration Tidings Home Decor project came from Yvonne Spikmans of The Creative Teacup. Once I saw Yvonne’s embroidery hoop home decor project I knew I wanted to make one for myself.
To make my version I painted a 6″ embroidery hoop with white craft paint and cut the following papers:
- Plaid Tidings 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper = 2″ x 6″
- Pretty Peacock Cardstock = 1-7/8″ x 6-1/2″, two pieces 5″ x 5″ each
- Crumb Cake Cardstock = 5″ x 4″
- Very Vanilla Cardstock = 3/8″ x 3-1/2″
I adhered the 1-7/8″ x 6-1/2″ strip of Pretty Peacock Designer Series Paper to the hoop using MultiPurpose Liquid Glue. Next, I cut the 2″ x 6″ piece of Plaid Tidings Designer Series Paper in half and punched one end of each 3″ x 2″ piece using the Triple Banner Punch. The flagged Designer Series Paper was then adhered to each end of the strip of Pretty Peacock cardstock on the hoop.
I cut a label from from each 5″ x 5″ piece of Pretty Peacock cardstock with the second largest die from the Celebration Labels Dies using my die-cutting machine. I adhered one die-cut to the cardstock on the front of the hoop using Multi-Purpose Liquid Glue.
Next I cut a label from the 5″ x 4″ piece of Crumb Cake cardstock with the third largest die from the Celebration Labels Dies. I stamped images from the Celebration Tidings Stamp Set onto the die-cut using Memento Ink and colored the images using Stampin’ Blends. I adhered this label to the Pretty Peacock label on the hoop using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
To complete the front of the project I stamped the sentiment onto a 3/8″ x 3-1/2″ piece of Very Vanilla cardstock with Pretty Peacock ink, punched each end of the tag using the Triple Banner Punch, then adhered the tag to the project using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
The project needed a little fancy so I added five Wonderful Gems, a bow made with trim from the Forever Greenery Trim Combo, a Linen Thread double bow and two Acorn Trinkets.
Finally I adhered the second Pretty Peacock die-cut label to the back of the front label on the hoop to cover up the situation on the back of the project and added a hanger with a length of jute twine.
This sweet little Celebration Tidings Home Decor project would look lovely in your home this autumn season. They would also make the nicest hostess or “thinking of you” gifts.
