Winter Wonderland Frame

I am always needing a few more spots to put photos during the holidays - enter a fabulous Winter Wonderland Frame using Deflecto Crafts new Clear Magnetic Curved Frame. This hot little item will be available following CHA next month - Jan 2016. Be sure to check Amazon to pick yours up! I used some vintage Bo Bunny papers for inside the frame- I simply matted a journal card, inked them up and popped them inside. 

For the outside of the frame I added some winter bling. The white snowflake is a die cut from Little B, the wooden snowflake is from my stash and I added some flowers and rhinestones to finish it up.

CHA Sneak Peek - 3 Tier Dessert Stan

I have been waiting a while for the 3-Tier Dessert Stand to hit the market, and it will be launching at CHA booth #2475 in January 2016!!

This thing is pretty amazing - you can use it for cupcakes AND Cake pops! The very best thing is it comes apart and stores FLAT- you can't beat that! I wanted to dress mine up for Christmas so I pulled out some themed paper, a punch, and some embellishments to get started.

I used an older Fiskars punch, cut the strips 3/4" wide and inked the edges. I used nine 12" strips all together and adhered them with double-sided tape to the edges of each tier.

I used a VersaGrip Double Sign Holder on the top of the stand to add my chipboard embellishments. This way I can easily change the topper out for each occasion!

I love how easy this was to decorate for my treats, and I can't wait to use it for other events.

Serving Up The Holidays With Our New 3 Tier Dessert Stand

Nadine here today sharing with you Deflectos new 3 Tier Dessert Stand.  To decorate my stand I simply added some bead strings on each tier, hung some ornaments on the edges and added some bows to the ornament hooks. For the topper, I attached a fancy bow using a VersaGrip™ Double-Clip Sign Holder.

The 3 Tier Dessert Stand has two adjustable tiers making the dessert stand perfect for cupcakes, cake pops, cookies, and Danish's. It sets up quickly and knocks down flat for compact storage and cleans up easily.

Christmas Clip Tree

I wanted to create a mini tree that could change, so I could add pictures, notes, inspirations, colors or whatever in the years to come. I did not want a traditional "pine" tree with fake needles, I wanted something different, so I made one!!

I started with a base of wood and a dowel rod, the painted it, added the Deflecto VersaGrip Double-Clip Sign Holder to make the tree tiers.  Below are some of the step to see how I created this tree.

The beauty of this tree is you can make the "leaves" whatever you want, pictures, recipes, advent calendar, good deeds, poems, sayings, words of wisdom; the ideas are endless.  You can keep it the same each year, or change it up, or add to it year by year.  It really has so much potential due to the clips!!

Supplies Used:

Clips - Deflecto

Santa Belly Party with Deflecto

Celebrate the Holidays with Deflecto! A peek at new product!!

Is anybody else excited about attending the CHA Mega Show in January?? I sure am! I will be teaching a workshop and Make n' Takes for Deflecto and can't wait to see everyone!

Holiday celebrations are in full swing! I recently had a party at my house, and I got to use the brand spankin' new 3-tiered dessert rack by Deflecto! This versatile rack can be decorated in numerous ways to fit in with your party theme. I used some decorative Santa Belly paper tape by Little B. I applied it around the edges of the tiered platters. I had a Santa Belly theme going as you can see!

The 3-tiered rack starts out flat. This makes for easy storing, easy mantling and dismantling!

Below is a picture of the rack with the paper tape that I used before assembling and decorating.

Below is the rack after it is assembled. The weather here has been dark and rainy. There wasn't a good way for me to get this picture. You do get the idea, though, right?

Deflecto has many products that are perfect for any celebration or party! I used their risers, sign holders, (small and mini), and the clips for connecting signage to your displays. Check out the website for the crafts division at http://www.deflecto.com/craft/ for all of your signage and storage needs!

Below are some more photos of the party table and Deflecto products that I used.

The gal in the photo below was graciously helping me by holding an ice cylinder for me. We were just getting the party started. The Santa Belly cones shown below were our party favors. I used more of the Santa Belly tape to decorate the painted paper mache' cones.

Hope you got some inspiration on this blog today. Be sure to come and see us at the Deflecto booth at the CHA mega show in January! We will be showing off all of the new products and have some very fun events in store. Did I mention there is prize money involved??

Be sure to take time to enjoy the small blessings along the way and

Live Life with Flourish!

Christmas Village Additions

I am probably not the only one who puts up a Christmas Village during the holidays. In a village, the houses and buildings are only part of it. You also need to have people, trees, and signs. Deflecto Crafts has the perfect solution!

This year I created all three of pieces pictured above to compliment my Christmas Village. I used the sign holder from Deflecto Crafts for my light post and attached my Tim Holtz Lamp Post Die Cut I cut from some red and white designer paper. The wreath was a sticker from Recollections. I attached the sign holder to the small angled Deflecto Crafts sign holder to act as a base for my lamp post.

Flexible Sign Dangler 

Angled Sign Holder

The Alpha Parts framed arrows are from Tim Holtz' Ideology collection and the red signs I found online. The Naughty and Nice elves digital print outs I cut to fit into the Deflecto Crafts angled sign holders. I added stickers from Recollections.

Finally, the Christmas Tree is an ornament. I removed the string and attached it to the Deflecto Crafts angled sign holder to use as a base.

There are so many ways to decorate your village this year, just use your imagination.
