Happy Tuesday Krafters!
Today over at Practical
Scrappers it is time to explore staples and paperclips! We have altered
paperclips, multicolored staples and more! For my project, I tried to do something out of my comfort
zone. I made my sentiment out of paperclips! Since Valentine’s Day is this week
and I needed a card for hubby, it just made sense to go in this direction. Yep,
you guessed it; a masculine card! Go over there and check us out!
I cut down some scrap pieces of metallic paper (DCWV metallic
mat stack) and ran it through my Cuttlebug using the Diamond Plate embossing
folder. This was layered on top of red cardstock. I added three red brads (WRMK)
to the middle of the squares to keep it “valentine”.
I bent large paper clips using jewelry making tools (I have
no idea what they are called. I just have them in my stash). This was not as
easy as I had imagined it in my head, but I still like how the sentiment turned
out!
Turning paperclips into titles is a good way to keep project
masculine or even in mixed media! I had so much fun sharing this project and I hope
you enjoyed it as well. Please stop by Practical Scrappers to get more
ideas using paperclips and staples! Thanks for stopping by, Krafthead~
