Baubles and fobs...so many looks can be created with Epiphany products! Shellye here with my portion of today's blog hop: a quick and easy Holiday Key Fob and Winter Layout. Both projects have included Simple Stories' Handmade Holiday Collection and Epiphany's Round 25 Punch Tool, Bubble Caps and Round Metal Charms.
To begin, let's start with quick and easy:
Not only can you dress up a keychain to celebrate the season, but also a necklace, bracelet or work badge. For mine, I used the snowman image from the 6x6 Handmade Holidays Paper Pad, the Round Tool, Bubble Cap and Round Charm (all in size 25). I attached the Bubble Cap to the Metal Charm with a permanent and high-tack Glue-Dot. Slip onto a small ring, tie on a little ribbon and attach to a key-ring.
For my layout, I wanted to keep things neutral and non-Christmas as this photo was taken in January. I used the same Bubble Caps and Tool for this project.
Simple Stories' Tis The Season paper from Handmade Holiday has the perfect sized round snowflakes to match the Round 25 Punch Tool! I punched out three different snowflakes and topped each with a Bubble Dome. I knew that I wanted to use the felt snowflakes that I found at Hobby Lobby, but the Bubbles seemed to get lost. So, I punched three 1.5" circles from Red Dot/Santa's List paper, attached them to the felt with a dab of fabric glue and then stitched an X over the tops with crochet thread. Using two squares of foam dots, I attached the Bubble Snowflake to the Red Dot paper.
A medium sized pearl adhesive was added to the center of each Bubble Snowflake. In keeping with the round, lacy theme of the layout, I used a doily die-cut (by MFTStamps.com) to make a background for each of the felt snowflakes. Because I used the Green Holly/Notebook paper, I was able to use one of the doily shapes for a journal spot!
Layers of Handmade Holiday papers, a sticker border and snowflake stickers completed the clean-and-simple page!

Epiphany products are so original and fun to use in any of your scrapbooking or papercrafting projects! Pair them with Simple Stories Handmade Holiday and you've got a cute, fun and original gift or holiday decor! Today Donna shows us how using these three Epiphany Crafts products and our Simple Stories Handmade Holiday Collection!
The Custom Square Shape Making Tool, Metal Charms, and the corresponding square Bubble Caps are perfect for this project. Last year my boys took their very first photo with Santa, and with our photo purchase we received some rather inexpensive keychains and miniature photos as a bonus gift. Rather than use it for its original purpose, I decided to use the keychain to create a photo ornament.
I simply removed the large jump ring and will put a hook in its place instead. I used paper from the Handmade Holiday 6x6 paper pad, stickers from the Expression Cardstock sheet, and the Epiphany Crafts products to create this cute little charm to embellish my otherwise very simple ornament.
Since the ornament is double-sided I decided to decorate the back too and included the year the photo was taken. And guess what? The charms are double-sided too! That's something I didn't notice right away, but it is a very cool feature since you can then decorate both sides of your charms.
Using the tools and accessories from Epiphany Crafts was effortless and they made the perfect finishing touch to this quick and easy project. I am so happy to now have this keepsake of last year's visit to Santa!
