Fleur Smith

Easter Baskets

Easter in our house is all about filling cute little baskets with lots of goodies.  What better way to use some fun bright color paper and make your own baskets.  I used a cut file and cut out the basket shape from three coordinating colors and used pieces from each color to make these fun little baskets.  For projects like these you need a good strong adhesive and the Xyron Mega Runner was perfect.  See below for step by step instructions to make your own.

Check out Fleur's blog for a full tutorial & more great photos of these adorable little basketcs.

Supplies:

Patterned Paper and Stickers - Imaginisce Endless Summer, Childhood Memories and Good Dog Collections, Stamp - Imaginisce Childhood Memories Collection, Imaginisce I-top tool, Imaginisce Small Brad Daddies, Adhesive -  Xyron Mega runner, Ink - Versafine, Punch - Epiphany Crafts, Eggs - Color Fantastik and CTG Brands Inc., Pom poms - Michaels, Candy - Allan's, Typewrite - Smith Corona

Cari Locken

Easter Napkin Rings

I love the Easter season! I enjoy making Easter bread and having family over to our house for meals.  I thought it would be a fun way to decorate our dinner table this year with some festive napkin rings. So I created some paper rings from patterned paper.  The accordion flowers & chickie were cut out with my Cricut and patterned paper. I added the little eyes using my i-rock tool and some small black Glam Rocks.

Hop on over to Cari's blog for more photos of her cute project.

Supplies used: Imaginisce (patterned papers from Childhood Memories & Good Dog collection; i-rock tool and small black Glam Rocks); Core'dinations Colorcore Cardstock, Xyron (Permanent Adhesive Glue Stick & Mega Runner); Cricut Expression 2, Ribbons & Rosettes Cartridge, Simply Charmed Cartridge

Apryl Holland

Table Centerpiece

I have always been a fan of Xyron and my new favorite adhesive is the Xyron Mega Runner.  It is so easy to use and works really well.  I used the Mega Runner to make an Easter Centerpiece.  I have a fun pinwheel die that I just couldn't wait to use and thought it would be the perfect thing for this project.  I chose several different papers from the Love You More collection to make the pinwheels.  For the pinwheel stems, I made paper straws by rolling the paper and using the Xyron runner.  I then stuck the paper straws to the back of the pinwheels.  The candy in the jar worked to anchor the pinwheels and viola!  A beautiful and fun centerpiece!

Make sure to stop by Apryl's blog for more photos & info of her beautiful centerpiece.

Supplies:  Imaginisce Love You More Collection, Xyron Mega Runner, Brads, Lifestyle Crafts Pinwheel die, pink tulle, mason jar.

Imaginisce & Xyron - Day 4

We're here today with Day 4 of our BLOG HOP with Xyron.
Wow!!! We've seen so many exciting projects over the past several days.  We sure that you've been enjoying them too.

We're going to keep it going today and start off with designer, Sara Zenger.

Sara Zenger

"Egg"celent Banner! 

Just in time for Easter I have an adorable and simple Easter Egg banner to share with you!  I love making a banners and with each new holiday / season I want to make a new one.  For Easter I had a request from my son to make the banner 'not girly'!  I took this as a challenge!   

I started off with kraft card stock for my pennants and then using my cameo cut an egg shape out of white cards to and then a coordinating chevron egg top out of paper from Imaginisce!  I took paper from three of the new collections, Childhood memories, Good Dog and Endless Summer - these were perfect 'non girly' colors!  

I am so happy to have had my Xyron handy because running the top chevron layer of my egg through my Xyron made adhering it simple and easy!  Every little part of that egg it glued down tight! 

My banner got his approval, it was not cute, it was awesome! 

Hop on over to Sara's blog for more pictures of her adorable banner.

Supplies : Paper - Endless Summer, Childhood Memories, Good Dog, Cardstock

Some Bunny

When our Xyron goodies arrived on my doorstep, I was thrilled to see the Megarunner amongst the collection. I have LONG been in search of an adhesive that "wow's" me since I bid my Kokuyo adhesive farewell (oh what a sad day that was...). I am pleased to say, I just might have found THE replacement. I like the dots, I've always preferred dotty adhesive for the simple fact that when you stop rolling, the adhesive stops. I also like that the dots allow you the ability to change your mind without having to redo the layout around the ripped up paper that ensued as a result! My other "beef" with some adhesives is starting over; threading those things and not losing bits and pieces can be challenging. Xyron's Megarunner is just a cartridge that you replace. I need to check into ability to recycle the cartridge and price. I also like that the Megarunner is more portable then my other ATG and has a cover over the dispenser part. So far, so good! Thanks Xyron!!

Check out Suzanna's blog for more pictures of her stunning Easter layout.

Supplies: 
Imaginisce: Patterned Paper from Good Dog, Makin' Waves, Hippity Hop, Childhood Memories, Stickers from Childhood Memories, Colored Foam Tape
Other: Cardstock: Bazzill, Adhesive: Xyron Megarunner and Glue Stick, Cut File: Samantha Walker, Ink: Colorbox, Punch: EK Success

We've come to Day 3 of our BLOG HOP with Xyron.

Haven't the projects been amazing? Both Design Teams have created such beautiful projects.  And guess what? We've got even more to share with you today!

Mary Pat Siehl

Easter Basket Fun

When I first starting scrapping ( well over 12 years ago) one of the first tools I ever bought was a Xyron X sticker maker.  I loved it.  When I found out that we were going to do a swap with Xyron I was so excited.  I fell in love instantly with the Create a Sticker machine.  It was exactly what I had been missing when I created those fun die cuts and titles using my Silhouette.  It was always so hard for me to put the adhesive on them. I had tried everything and nothing was working really well until I got the Create A Sticker!  I am in LOVE.  I don't have to worry that my die cuts are going to fall off.  

Mary Pat has more details on her blog about this wonderful layout. PLUS she has created a video of how she created this layout. So make sure to check it out!

Guiseppa Gubler

My kids are always wanting little gifts and treats for friends, so I decided to make this cute egg basket, decorate it and fill it with grass and candy.  I used the Xyron Mega Runner and Corner Glue Stick to put this basket together.  I love how easy the Xyron Mega Runner is to use...so smooth.  I think I may have to make a few more of these to give out to close friends and family for Easter.

Marcia Dehn-Nix

Easter Treat Boxes

I love to make 3 dimensional paper crafts like these Easter Treat boxes. But because its not flat, you need an adhesive that dries fast so your not sitting there holding pieces together waiting for it to dry. Xyron sent me their Mega Runner and I put it to the test to see if it would hold.  I LOVEthe Mega Runner!! It held without the mess that glue makes. It held without having to wait for pieces to dry! After using it on a layout, I am throwing my old tab dispenser away. Thank you Xyron!

Stop by Marcia's blog to see more of her fabulous project.

Imaginisce: Love You More: Patterned Paper, Good Dog: Pattern Paper;
Bazzill cardstock in white; Quick Quotes Powderpuff chalk ink in Mango Mai Tai and Pink Cheeks;  Sakura Micron pen; Ribbon: Really Reasonable Ribbon; Twine: May Arts; Cut files: Silhouette Store

For my project, I made this adorable Easter pillow box that would be perfect to give as a sweet little treat to a teacher, friend, or co-worker.

Happy Easter Card

Easter is such a fun holiday to create things for and I wanted to create a special card for my little guy. He is big on the hunt for Easter eggs, so I wanted to make him a card that featured an Easter basket. There were a lot of little pieces involved, so I was glad to have the Xyron glue stick on hand and the Mega Runner was so great for putting together larger pieces without the mess of traditional glue. I used B-side patterned paper from the Childhood Memories collection, plus a wee bit of Hippity Hop that I was hoarding. I also took the darling carrot, bunny, and chick from some Sticker Stackers and added them to my "hoppy" little scene.

If you make your way over to Regina's blog you will see more photos of her beautiful card.

Supplies: 

Patterned Paper: (from Childhood Memories and Hippity Hop collections) Imaginisce; Accents: (Hippity Hop Sticker Stackers) Imaginisce, (Stickles) Ranger; Dies: (Doily Frame) Lifestyle Crafts, (A Tisket a Tasket, Whimsy Alpha) Taylored Expressions; Fibers: (gingham) May Arts; Cardstock: (green, pink, cream) Stampin' Up!
