Patriotic Pinwheels with Rinea

Hello crafty friends!

I hope you are enjoying your quarantine downtime - I actually have enjoyed it a lot! I'm making some changes, letting go of some activities and really honing in on what I LOVE to do - which is mainly crafts, Cosmetology, Zumba and cooking!

Today I have for you a simple, fun for kids project to celebrate the 4th of July (or even Canada Day!) using Rinea Foiled Paper - pinwheels!

You don't need a ton of supplies for this project either - scissors, a ruler, some brads, pencils (or skewers), some hot glue....and of course, your RINEA Foiled Paper!  No special cutting equipment needed at all.

I used the Ruby Starstruck Foiled Paper, the BRAND NEW Cobalt/Gold Glossy Foiled Paper and the Arctic Starstruck Foiled Paper for these pinwheels.

Step One:

Cut your squares! I used 3x3, 4x4 and 6x6 sizes to make these pinwheels.

Step Two:

Measure out the center using a ruler and draw a line from each cornder towards center up to about 1" from the middle.

  

Step 3:

Cut along the lines!

Step 4:

Fold every other corner in towards the middle and secure with a brad.

  

Step 5:

Adhere to a stick of choice using hot glue. I used leftover school supply pencils and skewers - I really wanted to upcycle what I had on hand!  Now, if you would like these pinwheels to actually spin, you can use a thumbtack or pushpin and push into the eraser of the pencil (just make sure to trim the back of the pin off so it isn't sharp and sticking out of the back!).

  

Step 6: (optional!)

Add some fun ribbon!

There you have it! Simple, patriotic pinwheels! You could use them to decorate your 4th of July partyscape, tuck one onto a birthday present as a bow (don't use the stick!), or just put them in your flowerbed for your party!

Easter Basket Fun with Rinea

Hello friends!!! 

I have a fun new post today for Rinea - and I hope it inspires some ideas for your Easter decorations! What's Easter without Easter Baskets, right?  You could use these as place cards, hostess gifts, thank you gifts.... and of course, Easter Eggs!!!  Let's get crafty!!!

Rinea Products:

 - Princess Foiled Paper Variety Pack

 - Emerald/Emerald Starstruck Variety Pack

Woodland Variety Pack (NEW)

 - Mocha/Mocha Starstruck Solid Foiled Paper 

 - Jade/Gold Glossy Solid Foiled Paper

 - Jade/Jade Starstruck Solid Foiled Paper

Other Supplies:

- Basket Die (I used a Stampin' Up! Sizzix Die)

- Big Shot Machine

 - Tear-ific Tape (double sided tape adhesive)

- Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive

- Easter Stamps (I used Stamps of Life & SparkleNSprinkle Stamps)

- Ink color of choice

- Paper Trimmer

- Scissors

Ok!  Now that we have the supplies out of the way, let's get crafting! I think that the supply list is longer than the instructions! haha

Step 1: Die Cut!

Using your Big Shot & Basket dies, choose your fave Starstruck Foiled Paper and cut all the parts.

    

Once you have it all cut out, you are going to fold on the score lines and get ready to add your Tear-ific Tape strips.

  

Step 2 - Assemble!

You are going to want to remove the protective  backing on your Tear-ific Tape and adhere to the base plus the sides. 

  

Pretty simple so far, right? P.S - that was the hardest part!

Step 3 - Stamp your decorations!

I used a couple of my favorite Easter Stamps. The little chicky is from SparkleNSprinkle - I stamped and watercolored her up, then adhered to the front of my Easter Basket. My "chocolate" easter bunny stamp is from the Stamps of Life. Of course I had to decorate her with a Rinea Fuchsia Starstruck Foiled Paper bow :)  To make the "Easter Grass" that goes in the basket, I cut really thin strips of the Emerald Starstruck Paper and used those as my basket stuffer. 

   

Here is a second basket I made using the BRAND NEW Woodland Variety Pack in a non-Easter theme:

Don't you just love those beautiful colors? I sure do!

Thanks for stopping by!  I hope this post inspired you to make some wonderful Rinea Foiled Paper baskets!

See you next time!

Sweet Baby Unicorn Banner

Hello friends!!

I have another cute project to share with you for SparkleNSprinkle!  This cute home decor banner features the Sweet Baby Unicorn Stamp Set and I can't wait to show you how I made it!

SNS Supply List:

Sweet Baby Unicorn Rubber Stamp 922

Nuvo Aqua Flow Pens (Various sets)

Versmark Ink VM001

Rosa Embossing Powder EP462

Unicorn Glitter G1142

Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive 200N

1/2" Tear-ific Tape SAT04

Nuvo Cyrstal Drops - Bubblegum Blush 672N
Silver Clear Flower Sequins Q6-006
Tonic Studios Mixed Edge Oval Dies 1456e
Tonic Studios Beautiful Bunting - Jubilant Jubilee 1798e

Let's get creating!  

Step 1 - Create your focal image!

I started by stamping the sweet little baby unicorn 3 times onto watercolor paper using Versamark Ink and heat embossed it with Black Detail Embossing Powder,  Nuvo Aqua Flow Pens were used to color the 3 unicorns. I fussy cut out all the unicorns and set them aside. You will notice that I don't have the little hearts surrounding the unicorn - that is because I doctored up my rubber! I simply cut the hearts off and left them as stand alone pieces!  Now I have extra hearts to use!!

      

Step 2 - Work on your BANNER PIECES

I used the Tonic Beautiful Bunting Jubilant Jubilee Die to cut out 3 gray pennants and 3 plaid interior pennants.  You will love how cleanly the dies cut! I also used the Tonic Mixed Edge Ovals die to cut a set of 3 pink scalloped ovals.

      

Step 3 - Sentiments

I stamped all 3 of the sentiments onto white cardstock using Versamark Ink and embossed with Rosa Embossing Powder. I used some pink cardstock to matte them - all adhered with 1/2" Tear-ific Tape of course!

    

Step 4 - Put It ALL Together and Embellish!

To embellish, I stamped the large heart image onto pink cardstock 3 times and fussy cut out. Using the Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive,  I added some Unicorn Glitter. I added some of the HAI Supply Silver Clear Flower Sequins using the Nuvo Deluxe adhesive. I added a few dots of Nuvo Crystal Drops in Bubble Gum Blush to each corner of the pennants and finally, a gray twine was added to hang the banner using 1/2 Tear-ific Tape!

    

There you have it!  A perfect baby shower decor item!  You could simply switch the colors to refllect your party theme!

Summer Party Decorations with Rinea Foiled Paper

Happy Canada Day crafty friends!

I hope you are enjoying the day - whatever great country you live in!  Here in Canada we celebrate July 1 as our National Birthday! We may not be as patriotic as our neighbors to the south, but we are very proud of our Red & White Maple Leaf! :D

I have a super fun new Rinea project to share with you today!  While it is red, silver and blue - it can be used to celebrate any of your patriotic events!  I'm calling this a whimsical banner - or centerpiece!  It's truly up to you - a creative choice!

I used the Patriotic Foiled Paper Variety Pack  to create this fun summer party decor!  You could make a whole bunch of them and string them together for an banner or use them individually on tables!  Best part is - they reuse a common household item - toilet paper rolls!  Foiled Paper is just AWESOME to create fun party decor with. 

Let's get crafting!

You will need:

- Patriotic Foiled Paper Variety Pack - I used the Artist's Pack

- toilet paper rolls

- double sided tape

- pencil or pen

- paper trimmer

- Fishing line or twine (optional)

- paper piercer (optional)

You are going to love how fast and easy this project comes together!  Start by cutting your 4x6 in half lengthwise.  Next you are going to cut 3/4 of the way through the piece, about 1/2" apart all along the length of the foiled paper. You don't want to cut all the way through - you are making a fringe!  You are also going to cut your toilet paper roll in half.

  

 Apply a strip of double sided tape along the solid part where you didn't cut. Then you are going to simply wrap each piece of foil around the toilet paper tube in layers. I lightly curled my ends up using a pen.  To make the curly top, I just revered the steps and adhered the foiled paper inside the top of the toilet paper roll, alternating the directions that I curled the foil. I chose to use the Glossy Silver/Gold Foiled Paper that is included in the variety pack for this step.

  

I felt I needed a band of some sort to finish it off - so I added a 1/2" strip of Starstruck Ruby Red Foiled Paper. I also punched a small hole using my paper piercer and tied some fishing line through it to hang.

  

There you have it!  The next shot shows the "hanging" version. If you wanted to string them on one long line, that would work fabulously too!  I chose to do individual ones. Would the be fantastic if you made some large ones with paper towel rolls too?  So many endless options!

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial using Rinea Foiled Paper I hope you will go out and create something fun with it!  You are going to love how it holds it's shape :)  See you next time!

Rinea Foiled Paper Rosettes

Hello crafty friends!

I'm going to show you today how to make these really fun Canada Day Decorations using Rinea Foiled Papers!

I worked with a couple different packs to create this trio of patriotic rosettes!  I primarily used the Magical Foiled Paper Variety Pack along with a few sheets from our brand new Patriotic Foiled Paper Variety Pack (Silver/Silver Startstruck) (Glossy Ruby/Gold, Ruby Starstruck and Glossy Ebony Black/Gold).  You can totally make these rosettes without a die cut too!  I made them both ways. 

You'll also need:

 - Die-cutting Machine (optional)

- Rosette Die (I used one from Stampin'Up/Sizzix)

- Scoring board

- Cardstock scraps

- strong adhesive 

- embossing powder

- Ghost Ink

- Versamark Ink

- patriotic stamps

1. We'll start by making our die-cuts. Rinea Foiled Paper holds it's shape well, because of it's unique properties! I instantly thought of these fun rosettes!  And of course, since I'm Canadian, I had to incorporate a Canada Day theme somewhere!  I picked the Ruby Starstruck Foiled Paper for the largest rosette. For this one I die cut 3 pieces for Foiled Paper. 

2. Using my Scoring board, I scored each line as indicated by the die.  Alternatively, if you don't have the die - you can just score it every 1/2". 

3. Once everything was scored, I accordian folded the paper pieces, then adhered together the ends with some double sided tape. For the large rosette, I needed to use 4 6x12 pieces of Foiled Paper. For the medium and small I was able to use 3 pieces of 3x12 and 2x12 sizes. 

 

4. To help the rosettes keep their shape, I simply used a piece of cardstock in the shape of a circle on the back of the rosette.

5. I wanted to keep my "Canadian" theme, so I die cut a bunch of circles, then used the Ghost Ink to do a few maple leaves. I used the Ebony Black/Gold Foiled Paper for the background of two of the centers. 

6. Embossed Maples leaves and sentiments were added to finish off the designs!  

 

I hope you enjoyed my first project tutorial!  I know you will have a lot of fun making different colored rosettes for your next party!  Experiment with different die-cuts and different shades of Rinea Foiled Paper!  

See you next time!
