First Butterbee Scraps Post up

Hi Everyone, today is my first post up for Butterbee Scraps 

and I have a couple of fun quick and easy things to share with all of you.  

My first project is an ornament that i made with one of 

the larger bronze Filigree Embellishments #941. We are decorating

everywhere in our house and after decorating my daughters tree

I had the perfect inspiration to create my own ornaments for it.

The big bronze filigree shape was the perfect size piece to use 

as the base and I started by gluing two of the pieces together with E600. 

That way if the ornament turned both sides would be pretty.

 Then I glued on the bronze cabochon filigree #F805-B  on the front

of the ornament and let it all dry.  

My next step was to add some really light pink fine glitter 

with some wet adhesive into the circle in the center of the ornament 

and let that dry. Then I glued on the acrylic dome over it.

To make the dangle, I used a bronze flathead pin and added

a clear bead, then a teardrop pink bead, another clear bead and a then

a matching pink bead and created a loop to attach it to the base with

my needle nose pliers and my nylon jaw pliers.  For the top of the ornament

I added 2 jump rings and then bent a piece of 20 gauge bronze 

wire to form a matching metal loop to hang up my ornament.  Lastly

 i finished it by gluing on a pink bow to give it a really feminine feel.  Wouldn't 

this be so pretty on a tree filled with clear glass and pink ornaments?

My next project is a paper box that I created with snowflake paper I 

had in my stash and I used a few Spellbinders dies and finished it 

with a beautiful Butterbee Scraps Filigree embellishment and the 

same circle filigree embellishment I used for the center of my ornament.

To create my box I cut 2 pieces of 6x6 paper and scored them 1" 

all around the four sides and then cut four slits and folded the sides

 in and glued them together.  To make my box sturdier

I also put a small 1/2" paper strip around the top to reinforce it.

Then I cut 2 pieces of the Spellbinders Labels Twenty Two and

layered them on the top with adhesive and foam dots.  My next 

step was to cut/emboss the Venetian Motifs die in both yellow

and aqua and layer that on the top with more foam squares.  

To finish it I glued two pieces of Bronze filigree 068-B in opposite 

directions and then glued on the beautiful Cabachon # F805-B.  This

time instead of filling it with glitter I traced the clear dome and cut

out a matching piece of paper to put under it and then glue both of them

down.  I added a few clear rhinestones on the top to make it a little 

more fancier and that was all it needed.  The filigree pieces are so

pretty and ornate and they finish everything so beautifully.

I hope you liked the projects I made

with all the wonderful products you can get from Butterbee Scraps!

Have a wonderful day,  Teresa
