Clippies Meet Brocade Background Paper!
I haven’t made new bookmark clippies in a few months, and I’m still happily playing with the new Brocade Background double-sided papers. Hence the paring of these elements! Add a little bit of Cuttlebugging and a smattering of ribbons here & there, and it’s an easy process! These are easy little gifts, but be sure to make some for yourself too! *wink*
My chipboard shapes and Brocade Background papers were easily cut with the Cuttlebug, by ProvoCraft. I really do enjoy using the CBug dies and embossing folders. I no longer spend gas and time, searching for Cuttlebug products locally.
I stay right here and order my 12×12 chipboard supply as well as Cuttlebug dies and embossing folders f
rom eclectic Paperie! If you will check yesterday’s post in the ‘Bits & Pieces’ category, you’ll even find a coupon code from Daisy & Joy at eclectic Paperie, valid for a few days this week only! Thank you Daisy!
These clips also include a variety of ribbon bits and buttons from Stampin’ Up!, my sewing supplies, and also from a big bag of Foof-a-lah buttons I received as a gift. I’ve stitched some of the buttons with SU Linen thread, and others with sewing thread from my years-old sewing supplies. (I rarely toss ‘potential’ crafting stuff …. often to my DH’s dismay … sigh…)
Once the elements are cut, assembly is fun & quick with a liquid adhesive and a mini hot glue gun. E6000 Glue will also hold the clips to chipboard, but I prefer the fast drying time of my mini hot glue so I can keep on moving!
Project Elements: SU Brocade Background 12×12 paper, SU Linen Thread, sewing threads, SU Buttons & Foof-a-lah buttons, Cuttlebug, Cuttlebug dies, large paper clips from the office stores, mini hot glue gun, liquid adhesive such as SU Liquid Glue.

beautiful Bev!!!
I am adding you to my blogroll-how did I miss you were blogging???!!!???
Oh Tex! I didn’t think I liked this paper, but these clippies are to die for!!! I LOVE them! I had wondered about hot glue – it holds ok? I hate using E-6000, but I have been.
These are fabulous! I’ve been resisting the Cuttlebug (I’m not a huge embosser), but now I may need it after all!! I love these!
These are adorable! I love that your buttons are dressed up (meaning – wearing thread in the holes!) Just adorable!
OMG…these are awesome Bev! I love your ribbon leaves…very clever!!!
