Xyron Imaginisce Blog Swap

This week Xyron and Imaginisce have teamed up for a fun blog swap.   I had a great time working with the Imaginisce Childhood Memories collection.  The bright colors and whimsical designs were really fun...

 

I particularly liked the Imaginisce bicycle stamp in this collection and thought it would make a great card center.  I also really loved the red striped paper and made sure I used some red Ranger Archival Ink to match.  I stamped the image of the bike on to plain white cardstock, then I used my circle cutter to cut around it.  I debated on whether I should color the bike, but in the end I like the simple image in red ink.  Finally, I backed the image with a Little Yellow Bicycle Naturals burlap circle and added some Maya Road Twine.

For the bicycle flag, I used a Little Yellow Bicycle stick pin and some jewel stickers so it looks like the Memories sentiment is part of the bike flag. I was able to run the whole burlap circle through my Xyron 2.5 Create-a-Sticker machine to give it a sticky back which made it a lot easier to adhere to the card.

These little clouds are really cute stickers.  I just added some handcut banners for a little added interest.

This home décor project was really easy to make.  I had an old 7 Gypsies Small Printer's Tray lying around, so I thought it would be fun to use the 4 x 6 journal cards in the Imaginsce Childhood Memories collection and some of the Sticker Stackers to make this project.   I used my Xyron Mega Runner to adhere the patterned paper to the tray.

For something a little out of the ordinary, I stuck some of Tim Holtz Idea-ology Memo Pins in the top of the tray and ran a little miniature clothesline.  Then I cut out some of the Polaroid sentiments and hung them up with the Little Yellow Bicycle Naturals mini clothespins.  I like how both the Polaroids and the pins have sentiments on them.

I stripped down some of the sticker stackers so I could add the little images to the Printer's Tray.  They were the perfect size without the rest of their backing and then I could customize the patterned papers.
