On Board Plaques

I ordered a bunch of the new On Board Books from the Occasions Mini Catalog.  Since I was in a Valentine's Mood, I used the heart first.  I had intended to make a banner and cut letters with my Sizzix Dies, but they seemed too small.  So, I made a plaque instead.  I simply covered a heart in Sending Love Specialty DSP.  It's hard to tell in the picture, but it's glittery paper!!!  LOVE IT!!!  You get 12 sheets in each pack.  One side of each sheet is glittery.  I can tell this will be a hit!!!  I adhered the DSP to the chipboard using my Anywhere Glue Stick.

Next, I cut letters using my Big Shot out of Real Red Card Stock.  I used Snail to put them on.  I then gathered up some 1 inch strips of DSP and adhered them to the back of the chipboard for a ruffly look.  It reminded me of boxes of chocolate that you receive on Valentine's Day.

Finally, the On Board Books come with a pre-punched hole on one corner.  But I needed two.  So I used a second heart as a template to make sure my second hole was perfectly placed.  I then used my Crop-a-Dile to punch through the DSP and Chipboard.  I used Pewter Eyelets and some Real Red Satin Ribbon to create the hanger.  What do you think?

Here's another close-up of the ruffled edge.

sooo cute, love the ruffle and would love to know how you did that sometime, and I love how the eyelets coordinate with the hanger on your wall. smashing:0)

This is really cute! It doesn't look all that hard to make except for the ruffle. That must've taken some time to glue all those tabs on and keep them at the right length. I may have to try this one. :)
