Ready for some more Petal Cone fun?
Today, I have a Party Hat for you. I think this would be a great table decoration, gift, party favor, or place card. Don't you think?
I have been meaning to work with the Window Sheets from Stampin' Up! and I thought, why not give this a go? It's even more fun with the Jelly Beans.
-
I ran the Window Sheets through the Big Shot using the Petal Cone Die.
- Then, I ran Real Red and some leftover Christmas Jingle DSP through for the scallops and Whisper White for the banner.
- Then I trimmed the scallops to layer and used the leftover pieces to make the pom. I cut just a little bit off the cone to put the pieces inside (they are held together with a brad).
- The accordion fold is in Marina Mist, scored at every 1/4" inch and adhered with Tombow glue - although I think a couple dabs with the glue gun would be a good idea - the accordion fold pulls pretty hard on the glue and I've had some show stoppers before :-(
- Last, but not least, the banner was stamped in Real Red with Something to Celebrate (Hostess Level 2).
TIP #1: The window sheets will crease but you need to be careful and fold them with your bone folder to get a solid crease. Put the adhesive along the outside edge of the fold to adhere. Crystal effects works great.
The best part? It looks great with this little birthday card I made the other day.
The jelly beans are really heavy so I used a piece of clear tape on the bottom to hold the hat shut.
Tip #2: To make the pom, I adhered two pieces of DSP together with two-way glue (100425) so that only the dotted paper would show.
