This month we are featuring the Bag w/Scallops die.
Is this not the cutest thing!! It's even better in real life. We know it's a little hard to see, but trust us, it makes the cutest vase for flowers!! We loved the way the mini milk carton turned out using acetate so we thought why not try it with this die. You are probably thinking that we forgot what die we were using this month. That this doesn't look like the bag w/scallops. Look closer. We just used the two side pieces from the die. While we were brain storming and trying to design all our ideas for the month, we just happened to hold these two pieces up at the right angle and there it was!
The vase is put together with sticky strip on the two scored sides and then adhered to a card stock scallop circle. Another scallop circle was punched out of matching DSP, cut in half and adhered over the acetate - one on each side to cover the base and give it a finished look.
The vase is filled with clear "pebbles" so as to not take away from the acetate vase. We created flowers with the Stampin' Up! exclusive die, Blossom Party. We added buttons and attached wire stems. The flowers were textured with the polka dot embossing folder. The card stock and DSP is Bermuda Bay.
We included the picture using card stock, so you could get a better visual of what the vase looks like.
Love, love, love everything about this adorable creation. Using the window sheets would be perfect for this. Cute idea!
