Hello there!  Today I am going to show you two new creations.  The first is a shoe!  I know that I have mentioned many times before about getting inspiration for my flowers from the new trends in shoes so when I saw the template for this shoe I had to make it.




The template is free and you can click HERE to get it and the instructions on how to assemble it.  It is fairly easy, just requires some time and a bunch of creativity.  The gorgeous paper is Paisley Petals, it is in the new catalog, and I just love it.  Do you recognize the flower on the toe of the shoe?  It is the flower stamp from the new set Button Buddies.



I attached an Antique Brad to the center instead of a button.  The flower image was stamped in Early Espresso, Always Artichoke, and Pear Pizzazz.  I fussy cut the two inside flowers out, curled the flowers upwards, and used dimensionals to pop up each layer.  The top of the shoe has Pear Pizzazz seam binding and Early Espresso satin ribbon pleated in layers.  Early Espresso 1/8 taffeta ribbon was made into a bow to top it all off.





I put my own label inside with my blog name and stamped a frame from Four Frames, and punched it out with the decorative label punch.  The itty bitty punch pack was used for the little flowers, and finished off with a small basic pearl.  I have attached a bit of whisper white satin ribbon to the back of the heel and will hang it in my craft room.  So very pretty and feminine.



Some of the same DSP Paisley Petals is used on the card front, it is layered on an Early Espresso CS base. I used the same fussy cutting technique on the center flower.  A Early Espresso button was used this time and some Early Espresso 1/8 ribbon was threaded through the button holes and tied in a small knot.  Pear Pizzazz seam binding was used and the Friend stamp from the set You're a Gem, was stamped in whisper white and embossed in clear.





There you have it, I hope you have enjoyed my projects.  If you have any questions or comments, please drop me a line.  I love to read your comments, it makes my day.  Enjoy!

Sandie, the shoe is so cute along with the matching card. Looks like a lot of work, but so worth it. I especially love how you used the four frames and put your label inside the shoe along with all of the details on the shoe itself. Great Job!!
