LOVE NOTES HANMADE EMBELLISHMENTS | with Nathalie

I *heart* the new Love Notes collection and I want to scream it to the rooftops! It is full of lovely colors and little elements that made me jump to my craft desk to create these tiny banner embellishments (I guess I am still in my miniature phase if you remember the micro mini junk journal I shared a couple of weeks ago).



Each of these ended up measuring 1 3/4 by 2 inches. The base is created with patterned papers from the 6x6 paper pad and gold paperclips (from Staples). I cut 1 3/4x4 strips that I folded over the paperclips, adhered back to back and hand-cut into a banner shape.




The next step was to decorate each of them. I created layers with paper, doilies, washi tape or die-cuts. I then mostly combined stickers from the Mini Icons pack, oftentimes adding foam dots under for extra dimension. But I also played with textures by adding buttons, sequins, stitching or twine...

They make me so happy!

They can be used as embellishments into a planner, on a layout, into pockets. Or if you are able to part with them, they would make a cute little Valentine's Day gift for a friend.
I can't pick a favorite, can you?
