I've had some requests for more specifics on my We Love Dad Garland, so I thought I'd do an entry with some closer shots of it and some product information. This is definitely one of my favorite projects that I've done. My friend Janet Winz is who originally planted the seed that started my creative juices flowing towards this finished project. :) Thanks Janet!
First, I used my Big Shot to die cut Serif Essential Alphabet letters spelling WE LOVE DAD. I used both the negative and positive images of the letters for a little variety. I was taking my friend Stacy's photography class through StacyMaePhotography at the time, so I was pretty psyched to try to get some great B&W shots. ;)
I die cut the scallop circles in Basic Black using the Scallop Circle Die. I used the Circle Scissors Plus to cut the Whisper White Circles and the B&W photographs.
I layered the circles and scallops together with adhesive and then began to fasten the circles onto the White Satin Ribbon using Jumbo Eyelets with the Crop-o-dile.
The kids and I had a lot of fun with this project. I loved seeing the different expressions I could get. This will be a great keepsake for years and years to come. :)
Try it for yourself! I'd love to see your finished products!
FYI - If I had it to do over again, I would probably fasten the scallop circles on with brads instead of eyelets - it would be a lot easier I think. :) Melony
