SIS BOOM CLIP ART SERIES: FAUX LIGHTED MIRROR

Hey everyone! I’ve got a super quick & simple project for today’s Sis Boom Clip Art Series: A Faux Lighted Mirror!

For this project we’ll be using Sis Boom’s Glitter Garland Circles

All you’ll need is this clip art file, some scissors, and adhesive dots.

Start by printing out the clip art onto glossy photo paper and cutting out each circle.

Grab some adhesive dots, adhere to the back of the circles, and start sticking! It’s as easy as that!!

If you want your mirror to have a more “authentic” look of lights, you can choose to just use the gold glitter circles. Line the top of your mirror with the large circles to simulate vanity lights. (You can even line the bottom with the small or large dots if you want!)

Or you can use just pink, or alternate between the two colors. They could also just be used as a decorative border around a mirror – the possibilities are endless!

SIS BOOM CLIP ART SERIES: GLITTER SCALLOP TREE

LOVING our Fridays!!! What a treat to have our girl, Jessica of LOVE COLORFUL all up in hurr on the Sis Boom blog! Take it away, Jessica! Pssssst… Jessica’s beautiful wedding was just featured in Mingle Magazine— you HAVE to check it out. WOWZA!

Hey there! Ok, I know you’ve seen a bunch of trees up on here, but hey, they are just so darn easy and fun to make I can’t help myself!  Using Sis Boom Clip Art we’ve already made a Sequin Flower Tree and a Striped Heart Tree, but this week we’re going with a Glitter Scallop Tree!

As you probably have guessed by now, we’re using the Glitter Textures Clip Art (yup! the same ones we used for the Happy Home Banner, except this time we’re using the smaller, original sizes!)

Since we’ve been through this quite a few times, I think we can get by with just a few pictures – sound good? Simply print your clip art on 8 1/2″ x 11″ paper (either plain white paper & glue or you can use sticker backed sheets to help the squares stick to each other)

All you’ll really need is a tiny bit of patience!

Sis Boom CLIP ART SERIES featuring JESSICA of LOVE COLORFUL!

What an exciting day for us here at Sis Boom… Our friend Jessica, over at LOVE COLORFUL, is hopping on board the Sis Boom train to bring you a variety of FABULOUS tutorials featuring Sis Boom CLIP ART, eye candy & inspiration! Get excited, because this is going to be happening once a week around here.. aka, you’ll be so inspired you won’t know where to start! So, friends, let’s put our hands together for Jessica and the LOVE COLORFUL CLIP ART SERIES!!!

Hey, everyone! I am so honored to share with you that Love Colorful & Sis Boom are teaming up to bring you some super awesome, sparkly, happy craft projects!!

Each week I’ll be posting up a colorful new project for you to try using some of the clip art files.  From confetti hearts to vintage ephemera, the clip art is already inspiring by itself, but in case you’re in the market for a little more creative inspiration, I’m here to offer up a little guidance (and some glitter!)

The first project will be going up this Friday, March 1st, so be sure to stop by and check it out!  Want to get a jump start on the clip art craze? Go here to get yours now!  As you can see, they are all so pretty and versatile – and totally affordable when you think of all the mileage we’ll get out of them!

Remember to check back here on Fridays for new clip art projects!

MORE clip art

Hi! It’s Madeline! Ok– I am so over the moon with this new CLIP ART! ahh I can’t stop dreaming up ideas to share with our Sis Boom friends!

As you can see, I made more use of our Valentine CLIP ART.. I’m just thinking of Valentine’s Day as a kick off of LOVE! Why do we only profess our love so openly on this one single day?! Let’s keep it going! Even more surprising than a sweet card on February 14th… is a card afterwards just to say, Hey.. I really (still) love you a lot. It’s like a little non-Valentine’s day surprise.

What else can you do with these Clip Art goodies?

  • Print on fabric paper (check Amazon for this) & make pillows! Embellish with sequins & more!
  • Print on iron transfer paper (check Amazon for this) and embellish an apron, T-shirt, pillow & more!
  • banners, cards, cake & cupcake toppers, garlands, announcements & invitations
  • paper chains
  • collages
  • photograph embellishments
  • the list goes on! send us your ideas!

Last Minute Valentine?

Hi everyone- It’s Madeline here to wish you a very happy Valentine’s day!!! Did you shoot out of bed this morning only to realize, “OMG it’s Valentine’s day and I didn’t get my hunnie a single thing!!” Don’t worry! We’ve got you covered! Why don’t you make a sweet card, little banner, touching love note.. something small and special that just says, I LOVE YOU. Don’t stop there!… Send sweet notes to your friends too… broadcast your gratefulness for LOVE on this LOVELY day!

Some ideas for you:

Download Sweet Valentine Ephemera: Print on card stock OR glossy photo paper. Punch out 1″ circles with your paper punch, space circles every 5″ or so, and hot glue circles back to back with a piece of bakery twine between.  Swag this sweetness in the doorway and wait for the smiles.

Download Striped Hearts: Print on glossy paper and cut around the hearts. Glue back to back with ribbon between the hears and hang vertically. Make 3 or 4 and fill your doorway with striped hearts! LOVE!

Download V-DAY ephemera: Simple print these vintage valentines out and write a sweet poem on the other side. Doesn’t get better than a good ole fashion love note!

This is what I just made for my special love using the new Sis Boom CLIP ART! HAVE FUN!

 

And the winner is….

Thank you to EVERYONE for the Sis Boom support and LOVE!

This was a fun raffle and we’re so grateful for each and every comment. They were all moving and beautiful. Our randomly selected, and oh-s0-lucky winner is KERRY! We’ll be having another raffle soon so stay tuned, friends!!!!

P.S. if you want to make your own valentine wreath- go for it!! It’s easy and involves glitter– what could be better?! Find an embroidery hoop, or something with a similar shape, punch out some hearts from your fave paper pattern.. and glue them along the embroidery hoop! Add some glitter for pizazz, and, of course, a big bow!

Have FUN & let the glitter fly!
