Spring Flower Vase

Designer: Jenny Chesnick

Supplies:

Accent it All in White
U-Cut Foam
Clear Vase
Paper by Crate Paper
Punches by Ek Success & Stampin UP!
Beautiful Flowers

1. Thoroughly clean your vase to rid it of finger prints and any miscellaneous residue.
2. Using your punches simply punch out a good amount of lovely butterflies. I used the large punch as well as the smaller butterfly punch. Accent it All will run through your punches like butter as well as your die-cutting machine. 

3. Apply your butterflies in a pleasing pattern to your vase. Using Accent it All makes it easy to remove and shift your pieces. They peel off and on with ease. 

4. Once you have your Accent it All butterflies applied using your punches again punch out a few large butterflies from paper. Then apply U-Cut foam to the back to give them some dimension. Then apply them over a few of your other pieces. Since Accent it All is removable you can easily remove your paper pieces to wash your vase then re-apply them when you are done. 

5. Lastly bribe your husband to bring you home some flowers to display your lovely vase.

A Sock Is a Pocket for Your Toes (excerpt)
by Elizabeth Garton Scanlon
A sock is a pocket for your toes, a vase is a pocket for a rose. A pocket for a chicken is a coop, and a bowl is a pocket full of soup-- uh-oh! A bowl is a pocket spilling soup.

And what will we offer to you for your eloquent prose? We'll pick a winner who will enjoy a Glue Glider Pro, refill of their choice, our Ribbon Adhesive and our Extreme Adhesive Squares....now that should incite many a poem! Please email your poem to us at Gluegirl@gluearts.com by Friday, April 29th.
