Kelly Wayment

Here's a little background on Kelly.

Hi!  I’m Kelly Wayment, (a.k.a. krafting kelly in blog land).  I love all things paper and have had the opportunity of serving on a couple of design teams for the past three years—currently with Silhouette America.  I started my papercrafting journey as a scrapbooker in 1999, but enjoy making cards and various other paper projects these days, especially 3D creations.  Although I would love to spend all my time with crafts, I’m also a busy mom of four kids and work part-time as an accountant.  I love working with the charming Imaginisce papers and their matching embellishments!

Now, let's take a look at the beautiful projects that Kelly has created for us today.

Tissue Box

I enjoy making tissue box covers for my kids’ school teachers each year, but when I saw the “Little Princess” collection, I knew I had to make a tissue box for my girls’ room!  Princesses abound in our household.  They like blue as much as pink and purple, so I used turquoise for the cardstock base and found plenty of cute dimensional stickers, buttons, and die-cut cardstock shapes in the collection to embellish it.

 

A little baker’s twine through the button holes adds a nice finishing touch.  I used a hot glue gun to firmly attach the buttons.

My girls adore their new princess tissue box, along with the other princess accessories I’ve made with this collection.  Here’s a view of each side of the tissue box cover:

Supplies Used:
Imaginisce Little Princess 12x12 patterned papers, dimensional stickers, buttons, and die-cut cardstock shapes
American Crafts cardstock
Tissue Box Silhouette Studio cutting file available here (free)

Post-it Note Holder

Here’s another fun project I made with the “Little Princess” collection.  I used a simple cutting file with my Silhouette CAMEO to make this little cover for post-it notes, but instead of using the included flower as the main accent, I used this glass-slipper dimensional sticker as the focal point.  

I reduced the flower’s size in the note-holder cutting file and cut enough for multiple flowers from the pinks and blues in the collection of pattern papers.  The adhesive gems are a perfect centerpiece to each flower.

And to dress up the notes inside, I used the stamps to place a little image on each note in the stack.  My girls are pretty excited about these personalized princess notes in a cute little holder!

I’ll be back next week with two more projects using this Little Princess collection!

Supplies Used:
Imaginisce Little Princess patterned papers (12x12 and 6” paper pad), adhesive gems, and stamps
Silhouette sticky note holder cutting file
