I’ve had an Epiphany …..

…… or should I say I have got an Epiphany! That’s right, one of the fabulous new tools which is now available from Crafter’s Companion. So what is all the fuss about – well I have to be honest and say I thought the same thing – until I got one!!! OMG I love it. Basically there are different shaped punches which you can create your own embellishments with. You place your card etc that you want, add an epoxy sticker over the top and then press the tool. Out pops a fab embellie. There are beautiful extras to place these into such as flowers and charms which are all gorgeous. You can view them all here on the Crafter’s Companion Website. You can also view the launch on Sunday on Create and Craft TV.

Here is a sample I made using one of the beautiful Flower Fairy stamps. The papers are from the Fairyopolis CD-Rom.

Here is my epiphany embellishment placed inside a flower centre, made from the backing paper to coordinate perfectly ….. all products are below on picture links so just click the pic to be taken to the page on the website for further details on that product.

So here is what I used:
